The Autopick Draft is a popular option for beginners as well as experienced fantasy managers who are unable to arrive at a draft time that suits all league managers.
When [localize_utilizing/] the autopick system, our computer system will make intelligent choices for you. This will happen if you signed up for an Autopick Draft or are not present for all or part of your Live Draft.
The autopick system looks at both a player's position and ranking before making a selection. The computer looks to see which starting positions you need to fill, then selects the highest-rated player—based on either our default ranking or your own custom player ranking—to fill one of those positions.
It is wise for all managers to custom-rank players prior to the draft. To do this, just go to your team page or Draft Central and select Edit Pre-Draft Rankings.
If you join a Public autopick league, you may be placed in a live draft league in need of players. If this does happen, your team can still be autopicked by our computers.
