Autodraft Tips 

Post#1 » by TheRealistGM » Wed Aug 21, 2013 10:11 pm

For the first time I'm going to be in a league where I wont be able to be around during the draft? Anybody have any tips and suggestions as to how I should set up my draft board? Are there ways to make sure autoselect doesnt start taking kickers and stuff before your main backups?

What platform? Yahoo? ESPN? CBS?

It's been a while since I autodrafted. I'd have to select more players than you would actually have in case someone else grabs players you wanted. I think I selected about 40 or 50 players just to be on the safe side. I know in Yahoo you can exclude players you don't want.
Where the offseason has more buzz happens.

NFL.com , I'm generally on yahoo so autodrafting plus not knowing the platform makes things twice as hard for me
