Fantasy IQ: ESPN Fantasy Basketball Optimizer

ESPN Fantasy Basketball optimizer — matchup analysis, free-agent recommendations, streaming schedules, trade proposals, and an auction draft board, in a side panel beside your league page. Fantasy IQ builds your win plan — which categories to chase, who to stream, what to flip — and walks you through it, right inside ESPN. Open your ESPN fantasy basketball league and click the Fantasy IQ button. The panel docks in Chrome's side panel next to the page, so your plan stays in view while you set lineups and browse players. Drag its edge to make it wider. STRATEGY — A recommended plan for your week: which categories to hold, flip, or punt, based on your actual matchup. Pick a plan and every other tab follows it. MATCHUP — Live category-by-category outlook against this week's opponent: margins, win probability, and where the week will be decided. LEAGUE — How your team stacks up against everyone else: projected record and rank across the league, a projected result against each opponent, and where each category ranks — so you know which strengths to protect and which gaps to fix. STREAMING — Ranked pickup paths built from the real NBA schedule: who to add, who to drop, and when, to squeeze the most games out of your streaming slots. FREE AGENTS — Every available player ranked against your plan, not generic rankings — the value of a pickup depends on the categories you're chasing. TRADE — Every 1-for-1 trade scored by expected matchup wins against every team in your league, with a fairness check and the pitch for why the other side might accept. Sort by best for you, best for both or best for them, set how much a trade must gain you, and choose whether to see the lopsided ones. DRAFT BOARD — Drafting? Open your ESPN auction draft room with the panel open, and the panel turns into a draft board on its own. For the player up for bid, it tells you the most to pay and why, which of your categories he helps and which he doesn't, and who in the room can still outbid you. Under that are the best buys still left for your team, best first. It never bids for you; you do. INJURED PLAYERS — A player who's OUT counts only from the day ESPN expects him back, on every tab: matchup, league, win plan, trades and free agents. Tap the switch on his chip to count him anyway, or to leave out a day-to-day player, and your choice carries to every tab until ESPN updates him. Trades show how many games a hurt player misses for the rest of your season. APPEARANCE — Light, dark, or follow your system, plus Small / Default / Large text size, all in Settings. WORKS WITH: ESPN head-to-head category leagues (fantasy basketball). The draft board works in ESPN auction drafts, not snake drafts. PRIVACY: Your ESPN credentials stay in your browser and are sent only with your own analysis requests — they are never stored on our servers. PRICING: Free to install. The free tier includes matchup analysis, the league view for your own team, and a five-player free-agent preview. The draft board is free for anyone signed in. A 14-day Pro trial (no card required) unlocks full free-agent rankings, streaming, trade analysis, win plans, and scouting other teams. Sign in and manage your plan from the panel's Settings.
