Most fantasy football managers have teams in multiple leagues with varying scoring types and roster compositions, so they know that one-size-fits-all rankings just don't cut it. What they need is custom fantasy football rankings for each one of those leagues.
The value of this type of customization cannot be overemphasized when compared to default generic rankings that only provide a general sense of where players should be drafted. This goes even further when it comes to things like fantasy football auction values, as that type of league format can have the widest range of potential rankings.
You will get this level of customization with the RotoWire fantasy football draft kit, but what may be even more important is that this customization is paired with dozens of other tools that will help you get maximum value when utilizing these customized rankings.
Limitations of Default Rankings
Default fantasy football rankings have their place as a starting point when discussing player rankings, but their very design precludes use beyond that. This is doubly true in the area of fantasy football magazines. The information in print is outdated pretty much the moment the ink hits the paper, which is part of why RotoWire no longer publishes annual fantasy football magazines.
These limitations also apply if you are using general rankings as a fantasy football cheat sheet. Fantasy managers who do this might as well mail it in because everyone has access to that information. What you need are RotoWire's customized rankings that generate customized cheat sheets. These will give you a notable information advantage over those managers who rely on general rankings.
Benefits of Using Custom Fantasy Football Rankings
The most obvious benefit of using custom fantasy football rankings is that they fit your league. Many fantasy managers try to wing it when it comes to draft day, and it leads them to come up with rankings solutions that are less than ideal.
That won't be the case if you use the best draft assistant fantasy football from RotoWire. This will take a very modest time investment on your part, but once you have done this your rankings will be head and shoulders above your competitors. Stack up these edges over 14-15 rounds and at the end of the day you will be starting the season with a better roster than other fantasy managers in your league.
Mistakes to Avoid
One mistake that too many managers make is thinking that a minor change between league structures won't make that much of a difference in fantasy scoring. They believe they can just adopt the same draft strategy in every league.
The reality is that your draft strategies in a 10-team PPR league and a 12-team half-PPR league should be very different because it's much harder to build a strong bench in a 12-team league. This will be reflected in customized rankings, and it will help you shore up that potential bench weakness.
You will also want to familiarize yourself with these custom rankings before draft day. RotoWire has a perfect tool to help you achieve this. The Mock Draft Simulator is easy to use, provides you with unlimited mock drafts and will integrate your custom rankings so that you can quickly master your draft day strategies.
How to Build Your Own Rankings
It is really easy to build your own rankings after you subscribe to RotoWire. Simply go to the fantasy football draft kit page for 2025 and select the Custom Rankings option. This will take you to a page with various input options across the top. These include number of teams, number of starters by player position, whether the league has flex or superflex options and how many bench players are on roster.
You can then navigate to each player position section and input specific scoring items. The standard ones such as six points for a rushing or receiving touchdown are already pre-programmed, so you just need to add in items such as six points for a passing touchdown or a bonus for a 150+ yard game. One you have finished these inputs, just click the Save Settings button and you will have a fully customized set of rankings.
Final Thoughts: Make Your Draft Rankings Work for You
Draft day is supposed to be fun, but it never feels good to go through a draft unprepared or with limited information. What you want is to feel like you have a set of tools that can make these draft rankings work for you.
That's exactly what you get at RotoWire. Between the customizable draft rankings, the Mock Draft Simulator, up to the minute fantasy football news and dozens of other tools, you will be able to have a fun draft day because nothing feels better on that day than building a winning team.
