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 using the autopick system, our computer makes intelligent choices for you. This happens 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 pre-rankings to fill one of those positions.

It's smart for all managers to pre-rank players. To do this, just go to your team page and select "Edit Pre-Rankings."

If you join a public autopick league, you might be placed in a live draft league in need of players. If this does happen, your team is still autopicked by our computers.
