About Predict the 53

Predict the 53 is a free, fan-made tool for building the NFL's final 53-man roster. Every August, the league cuts thousands of training-camp players down to 32 active rosters of 53. Fans have opinions. This tool turns those opinions into a tidy, shareable roster.

What you can do here

Browse the current roster of any of the 32 NFL teams.
Tap players to pick your final 53.
Enable a 16-player practice squad and an emergency third QB.
Use smart presets to bootstrap a balanced roster, then fine-tune by position.
Export your final roster as an image to share on Twitter or in a group chat.

Where the data comes from

Player and team data is pulled live from ESPN's public NFL feed. That keeps the roster current through draft season, training camp, and the regular season without any manual data entry. Predict the 53 has no affiliation with the NFL, ESPN, or any team — it's an independent fan project.
