When ranking players, you have the option of adding any player in the player pool to the Exclude List.
Players placed on the Exclude List are not 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 if you're 100% sure you don't want to draft him—because of injury, performance concerns, personal preference, etc.
Excluded players aren't selected in an autopick draft or if our system takes over for an absent manager in a live draft. However, if you're participating in a live draft, you can draft a player who was placed on your Exclude List.
