Can someone set me to Autodraft? Stuck at a parents meeting and the Yahoo Fantasy app is not working for me.

I'm being dead serious in saying I may have to run and seek shelter. Hopefully not but shit is about to get real outside.

I would be down for a Tornado right now to get me out of this show choir parents meeting!

Made it home for the back half of the draft.

the Yahoo AI analyst absolutely hate my draft. It's very possible they're correct.


I got my early picks then git kicked because my internet sucks and the wind is howling and somehow thay matters even though it shouldnt.

I paid my dollars.....I do not remember who I even drafted....lol did it on my phone

OH Fuck looks like last place for me.

In a draft that left much to be desired, TheBadDraft managed to secure a solid lineup for their projected last-place finish. Despite some questionable choices, like reaching for Raheem Mostert at 51 when the ADP was 67, they did have a glimmer of hope with Josh Allen falling to them at 30, below the ADP of 25. With a draft grade of D- and a projected record of 2-12-0, it seems like TheBadDraft might be in for a rough ride this season.

The scheduling gods didn't smile upon TheBadDraft either, as they face the second toughest schedule out of the 8 teams. To add insult to injury, they have to navigate through week 12 with 3 players on bye. It's safe to say that TheBadDraft will need a miracle to defy the odds and climb out of the projected 8th place finish. Maybe they can draft a magic genie next time.

I got a C and am supposed to finish 7th.

Yahoo didn’t like my reach for Kelce and had this been my other league, not a chance, but F it.

I almost paired him with Mahomes too but Gutter just took him before me.

I got a good grade. Better than I feel I deserve. They did rightfully rip on me for taking Pollard way too early. Not sure what I was thinking there.
I give myself credit. I was drafting during what I thought had the strong potential to be seeing people dying. I was paying little to no attention to the draft and was looking out my windows at the morons who were on their boats in the middle of a nasty storm.
Major lightning, high winds, even water spouts.
There was a small window of time where I strongly considered taking shelter and thought for sure my power (including wifi -which would thus make me unable to draft) was going to go out.

I got a D+ and a 5th place projection.

Where do they come up with this stuff....

"In the mystical realm of fantasy drafts, Illy emerged as a wizard of picks, conjuring an impressive draft grade of A. Their crystal ball foresees a glorious projected finish in 2nd place, with a majestic 11-3-0 record on the horizon. The stars align for Illy, predicting a bounty of 1750.22 points to rain down upon their opponents, despite facing the 4th toughest schedule in the league.

Amidst the enchanting dance of the draft rounds, Illy showcased their sorcery with a mix of spells. Their best pick, Nico Collins, was plucked from the draft at 44, surpassing its ADP of 34 like a magical leap. However, not all spells cast by Illy were flawless, as the selection of Joe Burrow at 53, slightly below its ADP of 58, raised a few mystical eyebrows. Nevertheless, with such mystical prowess, Illy is poised to weave a tale of fantasy dominance."


I've looked through the teams. They are mostly all stacked. I think the 8 team league throws off their AI analysis/draft comparisons.

The biggest issue is they seem to essentially use actual vs ADP as a proxy for “good” or “bad” picks (which is thrown off by fewer teams and the resulting states-of-the-rosters at any given time), but then they use projected points to run a projected schedule and projected W/L.

So it’s just a globby mess.
