## A board tuned for fantasy football

Filter and sort players by position, team, and your own custom ratings so the right pick is always one tap away.

**Positions on the board:** QB, RB, WR, TE, K, DEF, FLEX

**Draft the biggest names:** Load players from across the NFL — for example: Chiefs, Eagles, 49ers, Ravens, Cowboys, Lions

## How to run a fantasy football draft

1. **Build your fantasy football board.** Upload a CSV of players from the NFL with your own ranks and any rating columns you care about, or start from a template and edit it.
2. **Set the format and invite your league.** Choose a snake draft, a budget auction, or a hybrid of both, set the order or randomise it, then share one join link with your managers.
3. **Draft it live.** Every manager picks on the same synced clock. Auto-pick keeps the fantasy football draft moving if someone loses signal, and the commissioner can undo a pick or skip a turn if it goes wrong.

## What matters in a fantasy football draft

The board is only half of it — here is how fantasy football leagues usually approach draft day.

Draft position decides more in fantasy football than in almost any other format, because the drop-off between the first few running backs and the rest of the pool is steep. That is why most leagues randomise the order on draft night rather than agreeing it in advance — doing it live, in front of everyone, removes the argument before it starts.

The two formats pull in different directions. A snake draft is fast and needs no explaining to a first-year manager. An auction gives everyone a shot at the same player and rewards preparation, at the cost of taking roughly twice as long — budget about ninety minutes for a twelve-team auction and set the bid clock accordingly.

Whatever the format, the board matters more than the software. Upload your own ranks rather than drafting off a generic list: a pool sorted by your league’s actual scoring — PPR or not, superflex or not — is worth more than any projection someone else published.
