They have a free version on there.

It's pretty cool and very helpful. You can customize the program with your exact league's scoring and draft order. You can also change the projections, if you don't agree with them.

I have the paid version, it's the same thing except a bit more updated (Strength of schedule, depthcharts, projections, average draft position, etc.).

It's good for practicing your own "One-man" mock draft and printing cheatsheets.

I actually brought my laptop to the draft last year and used this program to track everything.

This is the only program that I've seen like this.

It may be useful for some of you hardcore fantasy football heads like me.

I have another program that I use to do all my projections, but ya they are very helpfull. I dont like using it for the actual draft (I'm more of a paper guy) but I agree for a hardcore fantasy fan its great!

I hear ya...

I'm like that too, I tried the laptop thing in one of my drafts last year. It was the first and last time I use it in a draft. It did seemed like it was more trouble than it was worth.

I usually just have a cheatsheet with my modified rankings and another sheet with the depth charts.

Here's a good cheatsheet in excel format:

I just move the players up and down according to my personal preference. You can customize it with your leagues scoring too.



Here's another helpful website:

It's for the depthcharts. I like it becasue it's updated daily.

All that you listed comes with this program and once you buy it all the updates (once a month then weekly at season start) come with it. It also allows you to take projections from up to 3 sites (plus theirs) and average them together, I added a macro to my excell sheet and also averaged in my projections. Its crazy how much stuff is in there it also does IDP and your own Mocks too. I'm not too high on the footballguys site, I've been jaded because of some of their rankings but all in all a great info source.

Thanks for the link Ace!

Looks legit!

I did pretty good with footballguys last year, I won 2 out of 3 leagues. But I used a lot of other sites too.

They have some good stuff on there.... One thing I really like most is how they keep track of many targets each player got in a game. It's useful info that can be hard to find. Some players get to see over 10 passes their way each game, others barely get 3 looks.

The other thing I like on the site is, the weekly pick ups article. It's similar to the one on the ESPN Insider, just better in my opinion.

Jerry did you use Dominator this year? Does it have any Dynamic Value Based drafting options?

Anyone else using software for drafts?
