Mock Drafting Season

"'Tis the season to be jolly." And while it may not be Christmas time just yet, it is time to begin mock drafting if you want to have success in your upcoming fantasy season. In this forum I will give you tips on the best sites to mock draft on, as well as the key differences between them. Enjoy and happy drafting!

 Sleeper.App

Sleeperbot is a website that specializes in all things fantasy football. The new site features a modern, easy to use template with options to talk with real life users in live chats, catch up on recent news, and mock draft. Sleeperbot's mock drafting system allows you to customize regular settings like league size, minutes per selection, roster makeup, and scoring format. However, what sets Sleeperbot apart from its competitors is the fact that you can draft in dynasty and keeper format drafts for free. You don't need to sign up for any account or pay any premiums to access this extremely helpful feature.
Draftwizard.Fantasypros.com

Draftwizard was the site that I used all of last year for my mock drafts. The drafts are super quick, and the site contains all of the usual settings such as league size, minutes per selection, roster makeup, and scoring format. However, this site does not allow users to change their league format to dynasty or keeper leagues without paying for a subscription. 
Why You Should Use Sleeper.App

 The mock drafting software on Sleeperbot is superior to the software on Draftwizard because of Draftwizard's tendency to draft running backs later than a realistic drafting situation. This causes players that use Draftwizard to subconsciously lean towards a zero running back draft strategy because of their experience getting quality running backs in the later rounds. The mock draft software for Sleeperbot is more accurate with its estimate of when running backs will be taken. It also contains small but important draft trends like teams taking defenses as early as the 10th round and quarterbacks sliding later than past seasons. Sleeperbot produces a superior and more realistic draft experience for users, which is why I recommend mock drafting with Sleeperbot from now on.

Good luck to everyone drafting! 
Hopefully around the time that you are singing Christmas carols you will also have a fantasy championship to celebrate!

    Great insights and advice... Thank you! You have masterful insights into the nexus of technology and sports. Looking forward to the season beginning. Also, sorry about your Bears loss to the Ravens in the Hall of Fame Game the other day... I was rooting for them. Your grandfather's cousin, Emory Morehead, used to play for the Chicago Bears!

Key Takeaways from Week 5 & Key Takeaways from Adulting

Honestly, my least favorite part of adulting might be my growing amount of responsibilities that happen to occur on a Sunday. I miss college when I could go to the gym on a Tuesday at noon or get a haircut on a Thursday at 2 PM. It made it so much easier to relax on the weekends and focus on things like football and going out. Now that I've settled into the 9-5 life, I spend my weekends doing all the things I don't have time to do during the week anymore. It's honestly demoralizing and makes me realize how good I used to have it in school. But it also makes me that much more grateful for the sacrifices that some parents have to make when their child is growing up. I can't imagine going to work all day and then coming home to deal with parenting. Cooking for MULTIPLE people? Changing diapers? Using my brain to help with Homework? I know I'm speaking from a young mind here but that frankly just sounds unsustainable. Point is, make sure to tell your parents/guardians t

Sunday Blues & Predictions

This past Sunday, I woke up at 9 am and watched highlights of Arian Foster and Tyler Eifert..... yeah, that's how bad it is without the NFL in my life. BUT, even though I'm not able to watch NFL football, I still sure as hell can do a job I'm not qualified for and predict where some of this year's free agents will be landing!  Predicting free agents is a lot like predicting how a spring break weekend will go. You develop all these expectations about how cool and sexy these fun new memories will be, only to be disappointed when you have the exact same experience you had the year prior. Most high profile free-agents will unfortunately end up back where they played their last season, but WHAT IF.... What if this year Tyla finally invites you to a private party on her yacht? What if Kirk Cousins forms a new contender in Georgia?  Let's get into the predictions: Calvin Ridley -- WR (29 Years Old) My Prediction -- Tennessee Titans Calvin enters free agency with a 1,000-ya

Rapid Fire Late Round WR Sleepers

"You wanna play rough? Ok....ok..... Say hello to my little friend!" "Blow blow blow." [You get it? Rapid Fire...Scarface...Blow Blow?.... OK I'll Stop] Below this current sentence that you are reading and my scarface reference lie the reasons that I am drafting running back heavy in nearly every mock draft I do. 2020 IS THE YEAR OF THE WIDE RECEIVER. There are receivers going in the 4th round that can finish in the top 5, and there are receivers that are going outside the top 100 picks that can be weekly contributors for your team. Lucky for you, I'm going to give you my selections for late-round sleepers at the wide receiver position that are outside of the top 100 picks. {ADP is based on 12 team PPR Redraft Leagues as of 8/7/20} Desean Jackson    [Current ADP: 11.11] Despite the immense fantasy hype surrounding sophomore Miles Sanders this season, the Philidelphia Eagles are, in fact, going to have a passing attack in 2020.
