When pre-ranking players, you have the option of adding any player in the player pool to the "Exclude" list.

Players placed on the exclude list will not be drafted under any circumstances, even if you have an open starting roster position and no other players eligible at that position are available.

You should place a player on this list only when you are 100 percent sure you do not want to draft him—because of injury, performance concerns, personal preference, etc.

Excluded players will not be selected in an Autopick draft or if our system takes over for an absent manager in a live draft. However, if you are participating in a live draft, you may draft a player that was placed on your excluded list.
