Are you a fantasy football enthusiast who wants to participate in a league but is worried about being available during the draft? Well, worry no more! With the “Autopick Draft” option, you can still join the excitement of drafting players for your team without needing to be online at the scheduled draft time. Let’s dive into how it works and how you can make the most of it.

How does the Autopick Draft work?

The Autopick Draft system takes care of drafting players to each team in the league based on a scheduled draft date. But don’t worry, you still have control over customizing your draft list. You can modify your list until the day of the draft, ensuring that the system selects the players you prefer. If you don’t submit a draft list, the system will use the default list as a guide.

Pre-draft preparations

Before the draft, you can find all the necessary information on your League Office page. This includes your league’s draft type, draft date, and a link to edit your draft list. In case any changes are made to the draft settings by the League Manager in Custom leagues, you will receive an email notification.

Customizing your draft list

We highly recommend customizing your draft list before the scheduled draft date. While the default list is updated to reflect changes on the field, personalizing your list protects you from ending up with an unwanted player who might have a high default ranking. You can access the links to edit your draft list on your League Office page or your main team page. Simply rank the players in order of preference and click the “Save Rankings” button.

Conclusion of the draft

After the Autopick Draft is completed, the system will take a few minutes to convert the league into regular season mode. This is when team owners can start managing their teams. An email will be sent to all owners to notify them that the draft is complete and the real action can begin!

Key details to keep in mind

Here are a few important things to note about Autopick Drafts:

• Draft dates: If you join a preseason league, you will draft on the date specified on the league page. Always double-check the listed draft day before joining a group to ensure it fits your schedule. In Standard leagues, ESPN reserves the right to join undrafted autopick leagues if they are not full and run. However, leagues will not be broken up to complete other leagues for a draft.
• Modifying draft lists: You can make changes to your draft list until your team’s draft is held. To ensure that your revisions are included, make sure to customize your list before 11:59 PM PT on the night before the scheduled draft date.
• Post-draft opportunities: The draft supplies each team with 16 players (160 total for a standard 10-team league). After the draft, team owners in standard leagues can make claims on any undrafted players placed on waivers for approximately 48 hours. Any unclaimed players become free agents and can be picked up on a first-come, first-serve basis. Customized leagues will have their waiver rules based on the preferences set by the League Manager.

Final thoughts

Participating in fantasy football should be an enjoyable and convenient experience for all. The Autopick Draft option provides a seamless solution for those who can’t be present during the draft but still want to be part of the action. So, customize your draft list, sit back, and let the system handle the rest.
