Mays Copeland

I build fantasy sports software.

I am comfortable with a variety of languages and technologies. For fantasy tools, my primary languages have been Python, JavaScript, and PHP.

MVP

2025—present

Python (Starlette)

MVP is my most ambitious idea yet: a fantasy league platform that's open source and customizable.

It's still in the early stages, but I'm excited to see where it goes.

DraftKick

2022—present

JavaScript (Vue)

Powerful and easy-to-use fantasy draft software

DraftKick is my take on the draft assistant. It can handle every kind of league format with the player valuation algorithm I've been honing since 2008.

Projectile

2021—2023

Python (Django)

Projectile was a fantasy stats site. It used by player valuation algorithm to build player pages with fantasy values, customized for any league.

I shut it down in 2023 to focus more of my attention on DraftKick.

Open Projections

2021—2023

Python (Flask)

The Open Projections were open source baseball player forecasts.

I dreamed of competing with the proprietary models, but they were still a ways off from that.

@SavesBot

2020—2023

PHP

@SavesBot was a simple Twitter bot that watches the FanGraphs Closer Depth Chart and tweets about changes.

It was an unfortunate victim of the Twitter API changes in 2023.

Fantasy Wayback

2020—present

PHP

Fantasy Wayback calculates fantasy values for historical baseball seasons, going back to the start of the fantasy era (1980).

Valuations are made using the LastPlayerPicked Price Guide.

Price Guide User Scripts

2009—2013

JavaScript

While the Price Guide was primarily a pre-season tool for draft prep, it could also generate in-season values.

These simple JS scripts would insert in-season dollar values onto your Yahoo, CBS, or ESPN league pages.

LastPlayerPicked
Price Guide

2008—2013

PHP

My first public project was the Price Guide on LastPlayerPicked.com, an online tool that created fantasy salaries for various projections, customized for any league configuration.

I maintained this site for the next five years before publishing the source on GitHub.
