New Sidekick Feature: Player Availability Percentage
We're excited to bring you a new Sidekick feature that has been on our road map for a while: the probability that a player is available at your next pick in a draft.
In the Sidekick, you'll now see a Player Availability Percentage tag. This is shortened to "PA(): %" – for example, if you're on the clock at Pick 44 and you're next pick is Pick 53, and Zay Flowers has a 58% chance of getting back to you... the tag will read PA(53): 58%.
Here's that exact example:
If you're picking at the turn, your first pick won't reflect who will make it to you're second pick... because that's up to you. Instead, it'll move to the following round. For example, if you're on the turn at 4.12, the pick number will shift to Pick 72 rather than Pick 49.
This probability is intended to help you make more informed decisions when you're trying to decide if you should push a player to the next round or take them right now.
This feature is available on both Underdog and DraftKings in "Standard" contest formats—ie. BBM-style tournaments.
Formats like Eliminator, Weekly Winners, SuperFlex, Marathon, and Sprint do not currently have this feature.
We hope you enjoy this new feature. Happy drafting!
