The Launch of Razzbot

While we’ve leaned into robot references with the tools from the beginning, the Razzball brand persona from the start has always been more human: The guy in your home league who makes you laugh and actually knows what they are doing.

The tools have historically focused on the latter (it’s a bad sign if people are laughing at your projections) but the “keep fantasy baseball fun” part is always a consideration. You shouldn’t need 10,000 hours of spreadsheet experience to win your fantasy baseball league. I have always strove to keep all my Beautiful Mind / Good Will Hunting scrawling hidden and make the tools as simple/powerful as possible.

So, last summer, I started thinking: How can I improve the Razzball tools with AI without ruining the fun?

Introducing The Razzbot

Razzbot is a chat-style interface (similar to ChatGPT), but with full access to Razzball projections, player rater data, and league site player mappings. All it needs is your league info.

Think of it as: your team + our projections + no spreadsheets.

Don’t worry – it is not “a robot manages your team” because where’s the fun in that?

Can’t I just use <my favorite AI tool>?

Of course you can.

All of our reports have CSV downloads you can upload anywhere.

But here’s the difference:

Razzbot has:

• Direct API access to constantly updated projections (daily / weekly / ROS)
• A built-in player mapping system
• Pre-built report templates that actually work

What Razzbot does very well today

For this first release, we focused on eliminating one of the least fun parts of fantasy baseball:

The manual, spreadsheet-heavy grind of figuring out who to add and who to start.

Upload your league → pick your team → choose your format (e.g., 12-team 5×5)

Then click a button and get:

• Best available players (today / tomorrow / next week*)
• Your team’s projected values (Streamonator, Hittertron, Relievonator)
• Rest-of-season values (Player Rater)
• Projected league standings (Player Rater)

All of this runs instantly. No AI used/required!

*The “next week” projections also have Mon-Thurs and Fri-Sun $ values

What Razzbot does pretty well

• Ingests your CSV and maps players cleanly to projections
• Stores your league (until you replace it)

Where it needs work

• Only supports one league at a time
• Limited platform support (NFBC, Fantrax, CBS)

We’re exploring API integrations next (Yahoo is the obvious priority—your feedback will drive this).

What it does…unevenly

AI.

We tried. Hard.

Getting AI to:

• Map players correctly
• Use projections properly
• Avoid hallucinations
• Not say things like “better players = better team”

…is harder than it sounds.

It works sometimes. But not consistently enough yet.

That’s why the one-click reports exist. They are:

• Faster
• More reliable
• Cheaper (no AI costs)

And honestly, I think our ‘Plan B’ ending up being the best approach for common reports.

The long-term vision

Razzbot eventually becomes:

• A true assistant that listens to anything about your team
• Gives clear answers grounded in Razzball projections

For 2026, the AI piece is a working beta, with:

• 7 free queries/day
• 100 free queries/month
• Paid expansion options

Who gets access to Razzbot?

Razzbot is live now! You just need to subscribe to one of these following subscription tiers:

• Roto Deluxe Daily/Weekly
• DFS Premium (monthly or seasonal)

It will not be available as part of the Roto Deluxe 3-Day subscription (but you can email [email protected] for a discount code to pay the difference to upgrade).

Bottom Line

We combined:

• League import
• FAAB + roster tools
• Projection-powered reports
• A chatbot that won’t get tired of your team questions

Less spreadsheet grind. More winning.
