Alright, guys, let’s talk about this Fantasy Draft Wizard thing for NFL. I’ve been messing around with it, and here’s how it went down for me.
First off, I needed to get my league settings in. I use a few different platforms, and not gonna lie, it was a bit clunky with some of them. I started with the easy one, and it imported my league settings pretty smoothly. Boom, that was a good start.
Getting into the Mock Drafts
Then, I jumped into some mock drafts. This is where the “wizard” part is supposed to shine, right? It gives you suggestions based on your league settings, player rankings, and all that jazz. It’s like having a little advisor whispering in your ear… except it’s on your screen.
- The suggestions were, for the most part, pretty solid. I mean, it’s not gonna tell you to draft a kicker in the first round (unless your league is REALLY weird).
- It showed me projected points, player stats, and even some news updates about the players. That was helpful, especially for guys I wasn’t super familiar with.
- I could also customize things a bit. I could tell it to prioritize certain positions or adjust the risk level it was suggesting. That’s a good thing to play around with.
The Actual Draft
Now, I have used during a real draft. I had my laptop open, the Draft Wizard running, and my draft room on another screen. It was a lot, to keep up with all those screens.
It will be tracking the picks as they happened.
It will be suggesting players to me, and I could quickly compare its suggestions to what I was thinking.
Sometimes I followed its advice, sometimes I went with my gut.
I noticed a few times when it suggested the same player to me over and over. But in the end, that is a good thing.
Final Thoughts
So, overall, it was very interesting to use. It’s definitely a tool that can help, especially if you’re feeling overwhelmed or want to double-check your own research. I’m not sure it’s a must-have, but it’s something that I’ve enjoyed using. And I will continue to use it. And it has helped me to win a few championships!
