RotoHound
Sign UpYahoo Fantasy Baseball Draft Assistant
A draft board for Yahoo leagues. Import the league before the draft, and every player carries a dollar value priced for its exact scoring and roster slots, with ADP beside it and the projected standings updating after every pick. Picks are recorded by hand; there is no Yahoo draft-room sync yet.
Free for the 2026 season. Works with Yahoo, ESPN, CBS, Fantrax, Ottoneu, NFBC, OnRoto, RTSports, and Fleaflicker.

How the Yahoo import works
Connect your Yahoo account and RotoHound reads your leagues through Yahoo’s Fantasy Sports API with read-only access. Pick the league, and every team’s roster, the scoring settings, the roster slots, and the current standings come in. RotoHound never writes to Yahoo: lineups and transactions stay where they are. If you would rather not connect the account, the RotoHound Chrome extension imports the league from your signed-in Yahoo tab instead.
Values and ADP on one board
The player list shows every undrafted player with his dollar value for your league’s categories or point values, his projected stats, and his ADP, so a reach or a bargain is visible in one row. ADP is built in and refreshes daily from Yahoo, ESPN, and NFBC drafts: a league on one of those platforms sees its own platform’s ADP, and every other league sees a consensus of the three. Beside the ADP, two columns give each player’s chance of still being on the board at your next two picks, so a target that will survive to your next turn can wait and one that will not gets taken now. A vs ADP column shows how many picks later than his value rank the market takes him, and a tier column marks where the drop in value to the next player is large. Filter by position, search by name, and record a pick to any team with one click. Picks can be undone, and the board can be followed from a second device during the draft.
Projected standings after every pick
The Standings tab recalculates the projected standings for every team from the players drafted so far, in your league’s scoring format. While the draft is running you can see which categories your roster is building and which it is missing, and draft toward the gap instead of toward a generic ranking. An impact column on the player list shows how your projected standings would change if you took each available player with your next pick. The rest of the draft is filled in by ADP around each choice, so the number includes what the pick costs: the ADP default at your pick scores zero, a better use of it scores positive, and a reach scores negative.
Positional depth, keepers, and auction budgets
Positional depth charts list the remaining players at each position in order of value or ADP, so a drop-off at catcher or shortstop is visible before it arrives. The team panel beside the player list shows the roster grid, position coverage, and where the roster projects to finish in each category, with the rest of the draft filled in by ADP so the picture is complete from the first pick. Keepers come in with the league import and sit on their rosters before the first pick. In auction mode the board tracks every team’s spend, remaining budget, and open roster spots.
What RotoHound reads from a Yahoo league
Yahoo’s scoring settings import as they are: rotisserie or head-to-head, standard categories, Yahoo points, or a custom set. Snake and auction drafts are detected, the weekly or daily lineup deadline sets how RotoHound projects your lineups, and the default Yahoo roster (C, 1B, 2B, SS, 3B, three OF, two Util, two SP, two RP, four P, five bench, four IL) is the starting preset, adjusted to whatever your league actually uses.

Record picks as they happen. Values, positional depth, and projected standings update with every pick.
Frequently asked questions
Does it sync picks from the Yahoo draft room?
Not yet. Picks are recorded by hand as they happen and saved as you go, so the board can be open on a laptop while the Yahoo draft room runs on another screen. Keepers and rosters import automatically before the draft.
Does RotoHound need my Yahoo password?
No. Connecting goes through Yahoo’s own sign-in page and grants RotoHound read-only access to your fantasy leagues. The connection can be removed from RotoHound at any time.
How are the draft values calculated?
The same way as Player Values: category leagues use standings gain points, points leagues use points above replacement, and both are scaled to your league’s budget, roster sizes, and number of teams. A catcher, a closer, or a steals specialist is priced for your format, not a generic one. The methodology page covers the details. Read the methodology
Does it support auction drafts and keeper leagues?
Yes. Auction mode tracks each team’s spend and remaining budget against the salary cap. Keeper leagues import their keepers with the league, and the projected standings count them from the first pick.
Where does ADP come from?
RotoHound refreshes ADP daily from Yahoo, ESPN, and NFBC drafts. A Yahoo, ESPN, or NFBC league sees its own platform’s ADP, and every other league sees a consensus, the average of each player’s draft rank across the three. You can also upload an ADP export from NFBC or any other source and set it as the default for a league.
Is RotoHound free?
Yes. RotoHound is free for the 2026 season with a free account.
