The Prompt Playbook: Get Better Fantasy Football Advice from ArmchairAI in 5 Simple Steps

Fantasy championships aren't won on draft day—they're won in the grind of midseason moves. Whether you're mining the waiver wire for breakout gems, weighing risky trade offers, or deciding which underperformer to finally cut loose, every decision counts. ArmchairAI dives deep into the data that matters most: points-per-game trends, upcoming strength of schedule (SOS), target shares, snap counts, and usage volatility. From uncovering hidden waiver-wire upside to optimizing your lineup against a specific opponent, these prompts will help you move past gut calls and into winning analysis.

1. Find Waiver Wire Needles in the Haystack

The Prompt:

"Who are the top waiver wire adds this week with high upside based on upcoming matchups and usage trends?"

Focus on being as specific as possible and what you're looking for taking into account points averages, upcoming SOS, and other dimensions.

2. Evaluate Your Trades Based on ArmchairAI Data

The Prompt:

"Should I trade [Player A] for [Player B]? Compare their rest of season schedules, target share trends, and injury risk."

Emphasize getting objective analysis rather than gut feelings—let ArmchairAI break down the numbers.

3. Drop Low Performers Like a Bad Habit

The Prompt:

"Which players should I drop from my roster? Look at their usage, team situations, and upcoming schedules."

Help readers identify sunk cost fallacy—just because you drafted someone in Round 5 doesn't mean they deserve a roster spot in Week 10.

4. Don't Just Evaluate Players—Evaluate the Matchups vs Your Opponent's Team

The Prompt:

"Looking at my opponent's starting lineup, which lineup combination gives me the best chance to win this week?"

This is the strategic edge most people miss—tailoring your lineup based on whether you need to play conservative or aggressive to beat THIS specific opponent THIS week.

5. S.O.S. (Strength of Schedule)

The Prompt:

"Compare the strength of schedule for [Player A] vs [Player B] over the next 4 weeks and ROS. Who has the easier path to production?"

Perfect for evaluating trade targets, deciding between similarly-ranked players, or planning ahead for playoff schedules.
