FAQs:
What is the Establish The Run Draft Kit? Think of our Draft Kits as constantly updating sources of information to help you win at fantasy football. This includes rankings, written analysis, podcasts, and access to our subscriber-only community. What is the difference between Draft Kit or Draft Kit Pro? Our Draft Kit is designed to prepare you for season-long drafts (think home leagues), while our Draft Kit Pro features everything in the Draft Kit but also includes roster management content (weekly rankings, waiver wire analysis, weekly updated “rest of season” rankings for trades), best ball rankings and content, dynasty rankings, season-long player props, betting content, and more. Should I buy Draft Kit or Draft Kit Pro? The majority of our subscribers purchase Draft Kit Pro, but you should consult the full content schedule if you are still not sure based on the description in the previous question. How often are your rankings updated? We update our rankings at 9:00 a.m. ET daily, and sometimes more often. During “peak season”, when fantasy drafts are happening around the clock, we react to news as fast as we possibly can to make sure you have the best information at your disposal. We also update our written content regularly throughout the offseason. Why should I trust your rankings? The short answer is our company and analysts have a strong track record of helping people win fantasy leagues. Behind the scenes, we have a team of data scientists working in tandem with our analysts to produce what we believe is the best combination of fantasy football rankings and analysis in the world. But we don’t expect you to take our word for this. Many premium subscribers start by listening to our free podcast, watching on YouTube, or following our analysts on social media. We have plenty of free content available on the site that you can browse here. All of these resources should give you a sense of the quality of content that we create. Who is behind Establish The Run? Establish The Run was founded by Adam Levitan, Evan Silva, Taylor Caby, and Andrew Wiggins in 2019. Levitan and Silva had a track record of over a decade of working full-time as fantasy football analysts and felt they could better serve fantasy football players by creating their own company, while Caby and Wiggins had played poker and DFS professionally in addition to having significant fantasy industry experience as DFS operators. What is the Establish The Run Discord server? You can think of it as a private community for ETR subscribers. There are channels associated with various topics (e.g., fantasy drafts, trades, dynasty, best ball, etc.) and subscribers have a venue to discuss topics with each other and the ETR staff. There are currently over 10,000 subscribers using our Discord server, making it a thriving place for discussion for fantasy football enthusiasts. We believe there is significant value created here as the quality of discourse on public social media is often quite low. Some subscribers have told us that the Discord server alone is worth the value of the subscription. Does your Draft Kit include player props? We release season-long player props for Draft Kit Pro subscribers only. You must have access to our subscriber-only Discord server to receive these plays. What's the difference between Evan Silva's Top 150 and the ETR rankings? Silva’s Top 150 are Evan Silva’s personal rankings. The ETR rankings take into consideration the opinion of our entire staff, and cover the Top 300 players for a given format. We recommend consulting both ranking sets when preparing for your drafts. Will my subscription renew automatically? How can I cancel? Your Draft Kit or Draft Kit Pro subscription will renew annually.
