IBM is announcing updates and new features made in collaboration with ESPN to the ESPN Fantasy Football app, putting the power of artificial intelligence technology built on IBM's watsonx in the hands of over 11 million fantasy football users.

New this year, Waiver Grades will give available players in your league's waiver wire a personalized grade for the value they can add to your team. This feature will compare a potential player's grade to the average grade of players in the same position already on your roster. Similarly, the Trade Grades feature will evaluate the personalized potential benefits of trades.

Waiver Grades and Trade Grades use advanced Large Language Models within watsonx - IBM's enterprise focused data and AI platform - to deliver insights on football players each week and classify the sentiment. This AI generated classification, coupled with machine learning algorithms analyzing player performance stats, helps to remove bias and uncover new insights from troves of unstructured and structured data.
