How do I connect my league?

After you sign in, head to Connect a league and pick your platform:

  • Sleeper. Enter your Sleeper username (not your email), then choose the league you want from the list we pull back.
  • FleaFlicker. Enter your numeric league ID — see the question below for where to find it.
  • ESPN. Supported on a best-effort basis. ESPN can change or restrict access without notice, so some leagues may not connect cleanly.
  • Yahoo. Coming soon. The Yahoo connection is wired up and in final testing — it isn't generally available just yet.

You can connect one league for free. Connecting more is a Pro feature.

Where do I find my league ID?

FleaFlicker: open your league in a browser and look at the address bar. The league ID is the number in the URL — for example, in fleaflicker.com/nfl/leagues/123456 the league ID is 123456.

Sleeper: you don't need a league ID. Just enter your Sleeper username and pick the league from the list. Your username is on your Sleeper profile (tap your avatar) and starts with an @ — enter it without the @.

What do the rankings and player values mean?

Rankings and values are Fantasy Heartbeat's own. We combine several public inputs with our internal model and AI-generated player intelligence into a single consensus value and rank — we don't republish any one outside provider's numbers.

Values are format-aware: the same player can rank differently for dynasty, redraft, and guillotine because each format rewards different things (long-term upside vs. this season vs. surviving the week). Use the value as a relative ordering and a starting point for decisions, not a guarantee — see the disclaimers in our Terms.

How does guillotine mode work?

Guillotine is a survival format: every week, the team with the lowest score is eliminated and their entire roster is dropped into the free- agent pool. Fantasy Heartbeat helps you stay alive with:

  • Survival odds — your week-to-week chance of avoiding the cut, plus the bye-week and matchup pressure points coming up.
  • FAAB bid guidance — what to bid on the players freed up by each cut. Guillotine waivers use blind FAAB bidding: you only pay your bid if you win the player, so the guidance focuses on the right ceiling for a contested target.

Do you have weekly start/sit advice?

Weekly start/sit calls activate closer to Week 1, once the season is near enough that lineup decisions are meaningful. In the offseason and preseason you'll see rankings, values, and player intelligence to set up your roster; the week-by-week start/sit calls turn on for the regular season.

What does Pro cost, and how do I cancel?

Fantasy Heartbeat is free for your first connected league. Pro is $49 per year and unlocks connecting unlimited leagues and managing every roster in one place. You can also become a founding member with a one-time $99 Founders lifetime purchase — lifetime Pro, no recurring billing. Full details are on the pricing page.

You can cancel anytime. Open the Stripe customer portal from Settings → Subscription to cancel, update your card, or download invoices — no email or phone call required. When you cancel, your Pro access continues through the end of the period you've already paid for, then your account reverts to Free. See our Terms and Privacy Policy for the full billing and data terms.

How fresh is the data?

Player intelligence and rankings are refreshed regularly as new information comes in. Wherever we show AI player intelligence, a freshness label (for example, “Intel updated 3 hours ago”) tells you how recently it was last refreshed, so you always know how current the read is.
