VERDICT

Should I use DraftKick?

The fantasy football draft assistant for a perfect draft. Every time. - draftkick.com

Worth it. Buy if you draft fantasy football or baseball on Yahoo, ESPN, CBS, NFFC, or Sleeper and want fast, one-time-priced help. Skip it if you are not drafting fantasy sports or your platform is not supported.

Confidence

Medium. Based on 14 public sources; several from the maker's own blog, so treat feature claims as vendor-stated.

Best for

Gotchas - check before you buy
