Football: plan around kickoff
Give Guru the two players and the spot you need to fill. Ask about role, injury status, bye weeks and scoring. Leave yourself an eligible replacement if a questionable player has a later kickoff.
Start/sit advice
Fantasy start/sit advice for your lineup.
Your last starting spot deserves more than a ranking. Connect your team and ask Guru to compare your options with your roster, league scoring and matchup in view.
Start free. No card needed. Message allowances and tools depend on your plan.
Bring the context
Your team changes the answer.
Your scoring
PPR, superflex and category formats change what a useful player looks like. Start with your league settings.
Your alternatives
Compare the players you can actually start, including your bench and the slots they fit.
Your matchup
Ask whether you need a steadier floor or more upside, and what news would change the call.
Make the call for the league you play in.
Daily leagues: check the schedule
In basketball, hockey and baseball, a lineup decision can depend on games remaining, category needs and daily or weekly locks. Tell Guru which day or scoring period you mean and confirm your platform’s schedule.
Get your answer
Connect. Ask. Make your move.
Bring your team
Create your account, connect a supported ESPN, Sleeper or Fantrax league, and choose your team.
Ask Guru
Open Guru with your league selected. Check the last-sync time and include any recent changes or rules that are missing.
Review the call
Read the reasoning, check current availability and make the move on the platform where your league plays.
No connected team yet?
Start with a general question in Guru. Connect your team when you want advice with your saved roster and league settings in view.
ESPN: NFL, NBA, WNBA, NHL and MLB. Sleeper: NFL and NBA. Fantrax: NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB; its connection currently reads rosters and settings, not source matchups or standings. Private ESPN setup needs the Chrome extension on a computer.
Try these questions.
Replace the details with your situation when you ask Guru.
Compare my two FLEX options for this week. Who gives me the safer floor, and who has more upside?
Which injured or inactive starters should I check before lineup lock?
What would have to change for you to recommend my bench player instead?
Before you ask
Straight answers.
Does Draft Guru use my actual roster for start/sit advice?
When you connect a supported league and select your team, Guru can use your saved roster and league settings. Check the last-sync time, then refresh or re-import as your provider supports before asking about a recent move.
Is this a weekly start/sit rankings page?
This page explains how to get a comparison for your team. The example is illustrative, not a current player ranking or a live recommendation. Connect your team to ask about your own lineup.
Can Guru set my ESPN lineup?
You make lineup changes on ESPN, Sleeper or Fantrax. Use Guru’s advice to decide, then confirm eligibility and lineup lock on the platform where your league plays.
Can I start for free?
Yes. Free includes Basic Guru AI with a monthly message allowance and one connected external league, kept until its season ends. Paid plans add messages and premium tools. See current plans and allowances.
