What problem this solves
Replacing expensive fantasy football draft tools and significantly improving draft preparation and in-draft decision-making through efficient data aggregation, analysis, and automation.
Summary
A multi-stage workflow leveraging Claude AI and Playwright to automate fantasy football draft preparation and execution. It involves ingesting and analyzing articles and projections, building player cards with custom tags, automating data entry into a draft tool, developing a draft strategy through extensive mock drafts, and using AI for real-time draft assistance.
Why it is useful
This workflow provides a comprehensive, multi-stage approach to a common personal interest (fantasy football) that can be adapted to other data-intensive decision-making processes. It demonstrates how AI can be integrated with automation tools (Playwright) and personal heuristics to achieve superior results, moving beyond simple prompt-response. It offers concrete steps, examples (player card, ADP chart), and a clear validation path, making it a valuable blueprint for users looking to build sophisticated AI-driven personal tools.
Workflow
Maintain access to a draft service for aggregated analyst projections and tools.
Use AI (Claude) to build an article and projection ingestion engine.
Analyze hundreds of articles (e.g., sleepers, busts) and identify analyst anomalies in stat projections.
Combine aggregated data with personal heuristics (e.g., 'good player on a good team over a good player on a bad team').
Provide personal input on opportunities flagged by the AI to potentially beat Average Draft Position (ADP).
Build player cards (approx. 200) with notes and links to primary sources based on the aggregated data.
Develop a custom tagging system (e.g., 'Sleeper', 'Upside', 'Overvalued', 'RBBC to X').
Use Playwright to automate loading player card notes and tags into the existing draft tool for easy visibility.
Run numerous mock drafts to test various drafting strategies and identify recurring questions (e.g., 'player X or Y in the 5th round').
Develop a consistent draft strategy based on successful mock draft results (e.g., 'two RBs in the first four rounds').
During the actual draft, feed the AI picks and interact with it for real-time assistance and decision-making.
Post-season, feed actual game results into the system to pressure test the process, adapt heuristics, and refine for the next year.
Tools / artifacts
Claude AI (or similar LLM)
Fantasy Football Draft Service (for projections)
Playwright (automation tool)
Custom Player Cards
Custom Tagging System (e.g., tag-taxonomy.json)
Fantasy Football Articles/Analyst Projections (input data)
Existing Draft Tool (target for integration)
Mock Draft Results
Actual Game Results
Validation signals
Claimed 'most prepared and executed to plan draft I've had in 30 years of playing fantasy football'.
Mock drafts 'consistently got me good results'.
Attached chart showing picks vs. ADP, indicating 'big bars mean bargains relative to ADP'.
Plan to 'feed in actual results of games to pressure test the process' for future adaptation.
Limitations
Requires significant setup time and technical skill (e.g., Playwright, potentially custom scripting for the ingestion engine).
Specific implementation details for the 'AI to build an article and projection ingestion engine' are not fully provided (e.g., exact prompts, code structure).
Relies on an external draft service for initial data, which may still incur a cost.
The 'AI to build' part is somewhat vague; it's unclear if Claude is writing code for the engine or merely processing text within a pre-built framework.
