NFL-Managed Draft Types

Live Online Draft and Autopick Draft are the only draft types used in NFL-Managed Leagues.

Live Draft

The Live Online Draft feature allows you to select a full fantasy team, live, round-by-round in an interactive environment. The draft client features comprehensive stats, analysis, and chat functionality, all packaged in a user-friendly interface. In this draft application you can rank your players in real time, adding them to a queue that will update as players are taken by other teams in the league. You can search for players or filter the available players by position so that you can make fast, easy, and informed decisions to fill out your roster. When you have found the perfect selection, click “Draft Now” and the player you selected will be assigned to your team. You can track all of the action by round and by individual team, all in one place inside the draft application.

Autopick Draft

The Autopick Draft operates based on NFL.com fantasy experts’ default rankings or a team owner’s established pre-rankings. This draft type is an excellent choice for beginners as well as for leagues that can’t agree on a live draft time. In an Autopick Draft, players are assigned to your team automatically. NFL.com helps you fill your roster, either by going strictly off your Pre-Rank Draft list and Excluded Players list or by selecting the best available player at an open position of need on your roster. Select a day and time for your Autopick Draft, and that is all you need to produce a league full of fantasy teams for owners to manage as they see fit.
