Whether it is the first, second, or 10th year of your dynasty league, the rookie draft is incredibly important for your long-term success. After all, it is the only means managers have to add players to their roster without having to agree on a trade or win a waiver bid.
Most dynasty leagues operate like the NFL. That is, the draft order is determined by the reverse order of the previous season's standings. The last-place team picks first and the champion picks last.
Dynasty Basics The key difference between a dynasty league and a standard redraft league is that when the season ends, all the players don't go back into the draft pool for next year. Instead, managers get to keep some or all of their players on their roster when the season ends.
In dynasty draft order should always be the inverse of the standings. Last place finisher picks first. The better teams should pick lower because they are carrying over better rosters.
“Auction” (sometimes called “salary cap”) is a unique league format for fantasy football. Here's how it works: Rather than taking turns selecting players via a “snake draft,” everyone in your league acquires players by bidding on them. Place the highest bid, and you get the player, just like any auction.
