Punt Engine

Fantasy basketball draft kit

A chess-style engine for your fantasy basketball draft

Punt Engine re-ranks the available players for the team you've drafted so far. After each pick, an eval bar shows your expected weekly win %, and once the draft ends every pick gets a grade.

We'll send one email when the Draft Kit opens, with the early-bird price, and after that an occasional draft-strategy newsletter. You can unsubscribe any time. Privacy notice

What it does

  • Best move

    Ranks every available player by how much each one helps the team you've drafted so far, using H-scoring. It finds the categories worth punting as your roster fills, so you don't have to choose a punt before the draft.

  • Eval bar

    Shows your expected share of weekly matchups won against an average team. It updates after every pick.

  • Draft review

    Grades each pick by how much expected win % it gave up against the engine's best pick, from Brilliant to Blunder, and makes a shareable image of your results. Free for everyone.

Works with H2H each category, H2H most categories and Roto leagues. Use our projections or paste your own. You enter picks as they happen, so it works alongside a draft on any platform.
