FantasyBot FAQ
Everything people ask about FantasyBot: the sports and platforms it supports, how it gives advice, and where you can use it.
Can ChatGPT see my fantasy team?
Yes. Add FantasyBot in ChatGPT and link your ESPN, Yahoo, or Sleeper league in the FantasyBot app. ChatGPT then reads your actual roster, matchup, waiver wire, and league settings whenever you ask about your team. The same connection works in Claude.
Can I connect my ESPN league to ChatGPT?
Yes. Sign in to ESPN inside the FantasyBot app, on ESPN's own login page, so FantasyBot never sees your password, then add FantasyBot in ChatGPT. Private ESPN leagues work, there's no Chrome extension, and you can do the whole thing from your phone.
Can I connect my Yahoo league to ChatGPT?
Yes. Approve access on Yahoo's own sign-in page in the FantasyBot app, then add FantasyBot in ChatGPT. Your password never leaves Yahoo, and you can revoke access from your Yahoo account at any time.
Can I connect my Sleeper league to ChatGPT?
Yes, and it only needs your Sleeper username. Sleeper league data is public, so there's no password and nothing to approve. All four sports are supported, football, basketball, baseball, and hockey.
Do I need a Chrome extension to connect my league?
No. FantasyBot is a native ChatGPT app and a standard Claude connector, and you link your league from your phone or a browser. Some fantasy AI connectors still require a desktop Chrome extension for ESPN; FantasyBot does not.
Is FantasyBot read-only? Can it change my lineup?
It is read-only. FantasyBot can see your roster and give you a verdict, but it can never make a trade, drop a player, or change your lineup or league settings.
How long does it take to connect my league to ChatGPT?
About a minute. Open the FantasyBot Sports app in ChatGPT and tap Try in chat, then link ESPN, Yahoo, or Sleeper in the FantasyBot app. Step-by-step instructions are on the connect page.
How is FantasyBot different from a fantasy MCP connector?
A connector hands your raw league data to a general-purpose model and leaves the reasoning to it. FantasyBot runs the analysis first, a positional roster grader, a trade-value model calibrated to the market curve, weekly projections, and full league power rankings, across 15 read-only tools, then returns a computed answer. In ChatGPT it renders interactive cards rather than plain text.
What is the FantasyBot MCP server URL for Claude?
https://api.fantasybot.ai/claude/mcp, add it in Claude under Settings, then Connectors, then Add custom connector. It speaks MCP over Streamable HTTP.
Is it safe to connect my fantasy league to an AI?
Yes, and the two things to check are both true here. Access is read-only, so nothing can change your lineup or make a trade. You sign in on ESPN's and Yahoo's own pages, so FantasyBot never sees or stores your password, and Sleeper needs only a public username. You can revoke access at any time.
Do I need to create an account?
You need a free FantasyBot account to link a league, since that holds the connection between your league and your AI. It takes a few seconds and no credit card. Asking about any player works with no account at all.
Can I connect Sleeper and ESPN at the same time?
Yes. You can connect multiple leagues across ESPN, Yahoo, and Sleeper at once, in different sports, and switch between them by name when you ask.
Do I need a desktop computer to set this up?
No. The whole setup works from a phone, ESPN included. Several other fantasy AI connectors require a desktop Chrome extension for ESPN; FantasyBot signs you in on ESPN's own page instead.
Do I need to upload screenshots or type out my roster?
No. Once your league is linked, FantasyBot reads your roster directly every time you ask. Screenshots are a fallback for platforms we do not integrate with yet, not a requirement for ESPN, Yahoo, or Sleeper.
What is FantasyBot?
FantasyBot is an AI fantasy sports assistant. It gives you personalized start/sit, trade, and waiver-wire advice for your actual team, using live stats and matchup data instead of generic rankings. You can ask it questions in plain English, the same way you would text a fantasy-savvy friend.
What sports does FantasyBot support?
FantasyBot covers fantasy football (NFL), fantasy basketball (NBA), fantasy baseball (MLB), and fantasy hockey (NHL).
What fantasy platforms does FantasyBot work with?
You can link your leagues from ESPN, Yahoo, and Sleeper. If your league is somewhere else, you can also just screenshot your roster and drop it in, and FantasyBot reads it instantly.
How does FantasyBot decide who to start?
It pulls live player stats, snap shares, target data, matchup rankings, and recent trends, then turns them into a direct recommendation for your specific roster and scoring format. Every answer is tailored to your team, not a one-size-fits-all ranking.
Does FantasyBot use AI?
Yes. FantasyBot uses AI to understand your question, analyze your roster against live data, and explain its recommendation in plain language so you know why, not just what.
Can FantasyBot analyze trades?
Yes. Drop in any trade offer and FantasyBot grades it instantly, showing who wins on value, the risk involved, and the impact on your roster, before you accept.
Does FantasyBot help with the waiver wire?
Yes. It scans the waiver wire for the adds with the most real opportunity and tells you who to pick up and who to drop, so you are not scrolling for hours every week.
Will FantasyBot manage my team for me?
Very soon, and you stay in control the whole time. FantasyBot is becoming agentic: it will automatically check your waivers, find trades, and optimize your lineup on its own in the background, then show you everything it found. It never makes a move for you. You review what it surfaces and approve the moves you want with a tap. It does all the legwork, you make the final call.
Is FantasyBot becoming agentic?
Yes, agentic features are rolling out soon. In the background, FantasyBot will scan your waivers, hunt for trades, and tune your lineup on its own, then surface everything it finds for you to review. Nothing happens automatically: you approve each move with a tap, so the bot does the legwork while you keep the final say.
Where can I use FantasyBot?
FantasyBot is available as an iOS app and a web app, and it also works inside ChatGPT and Claude through their app stores.
How much does FantasyBot cost?
Free to start, with no credit card. Connect a league and you get a full team grade, your league power rankings, and the moves worth making right away, plus chat questions every day. Pro is for power users.
Who built FantasyBot?
FantasyBot was built by founder Levi Hughes, who got tired of losing his own leagues and never getting advice tailored to his actual team. You can read the full story on the about page. Read the story.
The fastest way to get an answer is to ask FantasyBot about your own team.
