Setup guide

Get CRANK running in your draft room

Follow these steps once before your first draft. The whole setup takes about five minutes.

1Download the Chrome extension

Download the CRANK extension zip file and save it somewhere you'll remember — your Downloads folder is fine.

Download CRANK extension (.zip)
2Install the extension in Chrome

Chrome doesn't install extensions from zip files directly — you need to unpack it first.

  1. Unzip the file you downloaded. You'll get a folder called crank-extension.
  2. Open Chrome and go to chrome://extensions
  3. Turn on Developer mode — the toggle is in the top-right corner of that page.
  4. Click Load unpacked (appears after enabling developer mode).
  5. Select the crank-extension folder you unzipped.
  6. CRANK should now appear in your extensions list with the 🍆 icon.
Developer mode stays on permanently — you don't need to re-enable it. Your other extensions are unaffected.
Using multiple Chrome profiles? Make sure you install the extension and use crankharder.com in the same Chrome profile. Extensions are siloed per profile — the extension ID in one profile won't work from another.
3Copy your extension ID

The extension ID is a long string of letters that lets the CRANK website talk to your extension. You only need to do this once.

  1. On the chrome://extensions page, find CRANK.
  2. Below the extension name you'll see an ID that looks like: abcdefghijklmnopabcdefghijklmnop
  3. Copy it.
4Connect the extension to CRANK
  1. Go to the Rankings page.
  2. Scroll down to the Sync to extension section.
  3. Paste your extension ID into the input field. It saves automatically.

Once connected, any changes you make to your rankings will push to the extension instantly — no manual sync needed.

5Build your first ranking set

On the Rankings page, load the FFPC player pool for your contest format:

  1. Select your League type — e.g. Best Ball Tournament.
  2. Choose a date window (14 days is a good default).
  3. Click Load player pool. Players are sorted by FFPC ADP.
  4. Option A — Drag to reorder: move players up or down into your preferred order.
  5. Option B — Market blend: click ⚡ Blend market ADP to seed your board from a weighted mix of FFPC ADP and FantasyPros consensus. Adjust the slider before clicking — higher FFPC % keeps TEs elevated where they belong in FFPC scoring.
  6. Name your set and click Save as new.
6Open your FFPC draft room

Once you enter the FFPC draft room, the CRANK overlay appears automatically in the bottom-right corner.

  • CRANK tab — dynamic board sorted by your rankings blended with live FFPC ADP. Updates as picks happen.
  • RANK tab — your raw custom rankings, unmodified.
  • ADP tab — live FFPC ADP from the draft room, no custom input.
  • ROSTER tab — tracks your picks, draft capital by position, and which historically optimal roster construction you're on track to build.
Keep the CRANK rankings page open in another tab during your draft. If you want to adjust rankings mid-draft, you can reorder players there and they'll sync to the overlay instantly.
