I've seen the ads/etc. regarding the new Watson trade assistant and I'm interested in what all it could entail, but I can't find ANYWHERE on the ESPN fantasy website where to find such a link.

Can anyone explain how I find that "service" in ESPN Fantasy environment/pages/etc.?

I have a good idea of how I want to handle my season, but I'm curious about how Watson thinks about my team situation.

TIA.

I’ll tell you this, Watson Trade Assistant is garbage.

It suggests that I trade Miles Sanders & Diontae Johnson for JK Dobbins, Hunter Renfrow and Randall Cobb.

Told my friend to trade Amari Cooper and Joe Mixon for Ceedee Lamb and Ruggs.


As for where to find it, download the ESPN Fantasy app on your phone. Go to the tab that says league.
It’s the 3rd link under Scoreboard and Standings

Yeah it's a joke. If someone proposed any of the trades I've seen it recommend I would just laugh at them. I realize we're all biased toward our dradted players, but these trades are all ridiculous.

It’s like some kind of mentally deficient fantasy football magic 8-ball.

It’s no wonder Watson failed in the actual AI marketplace so spectacularly.

After seeing the boom/bust with Watson that they released last year I had low expectations for this. My expectations were correct

shite is terrible.

Every trade had me giving up a RB1 and/or a WR1 for 2-3 RB3s or WR3s.

..and it doesn’t look at your roster. I have 4 RBs and 6 WRs and several recommendations had me giving up 2 RBs for 2 WRs.

It’s horrible. If your on the app click on league on the top right.

But don’t waste your time.
