Fantasy football draft guides
The rules of your league decide what every player on the board is worth. These are the settings that move value most, explained with the same numbers the draft board runs on.

Draft strategies
Zero RB, Hero RB, Late-Round QB and nine more — what each does to your board, and the settings that suit it.
PPR vs standard scoring
One setting reorders the board more than any other. A worked example, and the same pool ranked at 0, 0.5 and 1.0 PPR.
Value over replacement
Why a 300-point quarterback is worth less than a 250-point back — replacement level, worked through a real 12-team board.
Superflex and 2QB
One roster spot turns quarterbacks into the scarcest thing on the board. The real numbers from a 1QB and a superflex league, side by side.
Draft order and your pick slot
Snake, linear and third-round reversal, the exact pick numbers each slot gets, and how to draft from the turn.
What Draft My Team does
Every other draft tool hands you a ranked list somebody else built, and changing your scoring settings relabels it. This one computes each player's value from a projection, through your league's actual rules, so moving points-per-reception from 0 to 1 or adding a superflex genuinely reshuffles the board.
Four ideas, in order:
- Projections, not rankings. Each player carries a projected stat line built from real production and the current depth chart. Fantasy points are computed from it with your scoring settings. Nothing is hard-coded.
- Value over replacement. A player is worth what he scores minus what you could have had for free at his position, and that baseline moves with league size and starting lineup. How that works.
- Strategy as a bias on value. Twelve strategies apply position multipliers by draft phase, plus weights on upside, durability and age — so no strategy can recommend a genuinely bad player. All twelve.
- Honest post-draft analysis. The recap grades every pick against what was still on the board when you made it, scored in your exact settings.
What is in the player pool
615 players, deep enough that a 14-team league with individual defensive players never runs out of board:
| Position | Players |
|---|---|
| QB | 72 |
| RB | 131 |
| WR | 197 |
| TE | 80 |
| K | 32 |
| DST | 32 |
| DL | 24 |
| LB | 25 |
| DB | 22 |
Common questions
Is Draft My Team free?
Yes. It is free, there is no account and no login, and there is nothing to install — it runs in the browser tab you already have open.
Does it work with my ESPN, Yahoo, Sleeper, CBS or NFL.com league?
Yes. Each platform has a preset carrying its default scoring and roster, and every setting is editable on top of it, so a league with house rules is described exactly rather than approximately.
Can I use it during a live draft?
That is what it is for. Mark each pick as it happens and the board re-ranks everyone still available; there is also a sim button that fills in the other managers up to your next turn so you can see what is likely to reach you.
Where do the projections come from?
Every player's projection is built from last season's real production and the current depth chart, not from a ranking list. The pool holds 615 players, including kickers, defences and individual defensive players.
Is my league data sent anywhere?
No. Your settings and your draft live in your browser for as long as the tab is open. There is no account to create and nothing to upload.
Does it support superflex, two-quarterback and IDP leagues?
Yes — superflex, 2QB, TE premium, individual defensive players and any starting lineup you can describe. Those formats change replacement level, and the board recalculates rather than approximating.
Which draft strategy should I use?
Each strategy scores its fit against your settings and the best fit is recommended once you have described your league. If you are drafting for the first time, Balanced Value is the hardest one to go wrong with.
