Fantasy sports used to be about gut feelings and watching every game. In 2025, it's about who has the better bot. New "Draft Assistants" powered by generative AI are winning 73% of leagues, analyzing regression stats, injury reports, and weather patterns faster than any human.
"It ruined my league," says commissioner Ben Stokes. "We had to ban AI tools because one guy drafted a rookie wide receiver from a D2 school who ended up being the MVP, all because an algorithm noticed his sprint speed in wind."
