Pickup Recommendations
The Pickups tab on the My Team page analyzes your roster and suggests the best available free agents to add, along with which players you should consider dropping.
How It Works
Section titled “How It Works”The recommendation engine evaluates every unowned player and scores them based on:
- Ranking position — higher-ranked players score better
- Category fit — players who help your weakest categories score higher
- Production — raw statistical output
- Positional need — bonus for positions where your roster is thin
- Age (dynasty mode) — younger players are preferred in rebuild mode
Two Modes
Section titled “Two Modes”Win Now
Section titled “Win Now”Optimized for the current season. Prioritizes:
- Redraft rankings
- Category fit for your weak areas
- Immediate production
This mode is auto-selected if your team is classified as a contender.
Build for Later
Section titled “Build for Later”Optimized for long-term value. Prioritizes:
- Dynasty rankings
- Player age
- Positional scarcity
This mode is auto-selected if your team is classified as a rebuilder.
You can always manually switch between modes regardless of the auto-classification.
Team Needs Badges
Section titled “Team Needs Badges”At the top of the Pickups tab, you’ll see colored badges showing:
- WEAK categories (red) — categories where you rank near the bottom of your league

These badges also appear inline with pickup suggestions to show which needs each player addresses.
