Our free fantasy football cheat sheet creation tools allow you to create informative cheat sheets in a fun and intuitive manner. We provide a wide-range of functionality: ranking players using drag & drop, supplemental player rankings from other sources (to double-check your own rankings), important player information (name, team, position, number, bye week, and experience), relevant statistics for each fantasy position, fantasy point output calculations, and a configurable ‘note’ all wrapped up in an easy to use web application. The purpose of this article is to provide a summary of available features.
In order for CheatSheetWarRoom to remember who you are (and thus which cheat sheets you have created), it is imperative that you register. After you register, the application will remember which sheets belong to you and make them accessible each time you login. Registration also enables advanced features: the ability to add/remove players from your sheets and the ability to configure a printable cheat sheet incorporating your own player rankings. If you do not register, your cheat sheets will be deleted after a period of inactivity.
When you initially create your fantasy football cheat sheet, all of the available data and functionality will be integrated into your sheet automatically. The number of players that are initially added to your sheet will depend on the fantasy position which your sheet is based upon. However, if you are registered, you will be able to add/remove players from your fantasy cheat sheet as needed; unregistered users cannot. If you would like to add player to your cheat sheet after it is created, you can do so by editing the sheet. Currently, the number of players added to each sheet by default is as follows:
Each of our interactive, web-based fantasy football cheat sheets employs a vast array of data and functionality. What follows is an explanation of the available functionality.
The most important aspect of cheat sheet creation is the ability to rank players through drag and drop functionality. To change a player’s ranking you only need to place your cursor over the drag handle (the portion of the player template with a football texture), click and hold down the mouse button, then drag the player to a new position. The position where the player will be dropped should be highlighted.
It is often worthwhile to double-check your fantasy rankings against the rankings of other reputable sources; this is the idea behind supplemental rankings. The numbers on the left side of each player template comprise the rankings from those supplemental sources.
As our supplemental sources increase, you’ll be able to designate which sources you’d like to include in your sheet. In the near future, you will be able to reference a player's ADP and also their ranking according to their fantasy point output from the previous season. If you click on any of the supplemental rankings, you’ll see a popup which identifies the supplemental source and provides links to their website and supplemental ranking pages.
It is critical that you have access to important player information as you’re modifying your fantasy football cheat sheet. Our cheat sheets integrates the player’s name, position, number, team, experience, and their team’s bye week.
There are useful player attributes that we can sometimes assign to a player; two of the most popular are ‘fantasy football sleeper’ and ‘fantasy football bust’.
A fantasy sleeper is a player whose perceived value is underestimated. Sleepers may have not produced well in the past, but for some reason (changing teams, moving up the depth chart, coming back from injury, etc) factors becomes favorable for this player to do better than expected. It’s good to be aware of sleepers because they normally provide good value for their draft slot.
Fantasy busts are the polar opposite of fantasy sleepers as their perceived value is overestimated. A bust normally has a name that is easily recognized, but who for one reason or another (injury, age, hype, etc) may not perform up to expectations. It’s important to easily recognize busts because you’ll want to avoid reaching too far for them at your fantasy draft.
Sleeper and bust ‘tags’ are integrated into our fantasy cheat sheets and 'tagging' a player is as simple as clicking on the tag. If you change your mind simply click on the tag again to de-activate it. As an added bonus we’ve also integrated ‘injured’ tags into our cheat sheets. If a player has injury concerns, use this tag to remind you on draft day to think carefully before selecting this player. When you generate your printable cheat sheet, any tag that you activated on your cheat sheet will be transferred and placed next to the respective player.
In the world of fantasy football, each fantasy position is associated with some collection of statistical categories. For instance, the statistical categories associated with the ‘kicker’ position are much different than the statistical categories associated with the ‘quarterback’ position. Each of our sheets integrate those statistics that are relevant to the positional sheet being modified. The statistics that are chosen for each fantasy position are based on the standard fantasy football scoring system.
In addition to standard statistical categories, all cheat sheets include two additional statistical categories: Total Fantasy Points (TFP) and Fantasy Points Per Game (FPPG). Total Fantasy Points is just that, the total number of fantasy points that a player produced during the previous season, again based on the standard fantasy football scoring system. Fantasy Points Per Game is simply TFP divided by the total number of games that the player participated in. FPPG is an important statistic because it provides an equal ground on which to compare all players regardless of how many games they played.
Because we can’t predict all of the attributes that you value in a player, we have integrated an editable note area into each player template. This is meant to serve as a general catch-all for any information that you want to add for a particular player. You may choose to note that a certain player is battling for a starting position, or even that a certain player has legal concerns and needs to be closely monitored. This information is not added to the printable cheat sheet; it is only used to aid you in ranking your fantasy football players.
When you’ve completed your player rankings, it is time to generate your printable fantasy football cheat sheet; this is the final document that will integrate all of your player rankings and other important information from your cheat sheets into a condensed, organized format. There are several options available to you at this stage and each is discussed here.
At Cheat Sheet War Room, you can create fantasy cheat sheets based on each of the major fantasy football positions (QB, RB, WR, TE, K, DEF). You can even create multiple sheets based a single position if you wish (this would be useful if you were preparing for multiple drafts in leagues with different scoring configurations). However, you are not forced to create any sheets if you don’t want to.
When configuring how to generate your printable cheat sheet, any positional sheets that you have created will be populated automatically next to their respective position; if you have multiple sheets for a particular position you will have to choose which sheet to be referenced when the printable sheet is generated. However, those positions that you have not created a sheet for will be populated by player rankings based on a supplemental source; the supplemental source to be referenced is also configurable.
There are two formats to choose from when generating your printable fantasy football cheat sheet. Both sheet formats display player rankings based on your specified configuration and also a printable roster area to enter your draft picks. The difference between the two formats is that one integrates the roster area into a single sheet while the other provides the roster area on a separate sheet. The single sheet solution has a smaller number of players listed and you will need to examine both formats to decide which format is right for you.
If your roster size is small then fewer players will ultimately be drawn from the player pool (and hence the single-sheet solution may work best). But if your league configuration calls for a larger roster size it would probably be safer to utilize the format which offers a larger list of players and places the roster area on a second sheet. Both sheet formats are shown below.
This application has been tested in all major web browsers but seems to work better in Firefox than in Internet Explorer. A high-speed internet connection is beneficial, but not required. You must have JavaScript enabled to use our tools because of their interactive nature and heavy use of AJAX. Also you must have cookies enabled for the application to work correctly.
Because of the nature of the web, your sheets will load and function faster if you have fewer players in your sheet, so initially a sensible number of players will be chosen. Still, you are free to add as many players to the sheet as you wish.
