But being able to draft a winning fantasy team is a lot harder than it seems.

I would be very of that prediction. Do you know how the best AI's perform at Fantasy Football?

To my knowledge there hasn't been much involvement in AI Fantasy Football. However, I would imagine that existing AIs perform fairly poorly. They could probably beat your average player, but not a seasoned football fan who religiously follows the entire league.

I could be wrong though. If there are any examples of AIs performing well at Fantasy Football I'd love to see them!

People who create AI for Fantasy Football that perform fairly poorly are quite free at being open about their AI. On the other hand why should someone who has a well-performing AI at Fantasy Football be public about the fact that he has the AI? That person could lose a lot of money by being open.
