I love fantasy football! #Overview

FantasySlackr interfaces with Yahoo fantasy football via their publicly available API to manage a user's fantasy football roster. The project will have these main goals:

  • Guarantee that a user's roster will be filled with viable players each week. This requires:
    • Changing players from 'benched' status to 'active' status
    • Anticipating lack of viable players due to bye weeks
    • Replacing players whose injury status is 'Out'
    • Navigating the waivers list and list of free-agents to determine alternate viable players
    • Adding players to the user's roster and making claims on waivers
  • Making strategic moves to better the user's roster, including
    • Determining strong and weak points in the user's roster and opponents' rosters
    • Suggesting beneficial trades with opponents
    • Suggesting beneficial changes to the roster
  • Analyzing player data from yahoo to determine over- and under-performing players
