Fantasy Football Draft Buddy Ready for 2018 Season

June 11, 2018 By Mike Leave a Comment

Todd Gurley, Los Angeles Rams

Is Los Angeles Rams Todd Gurley the number one running back in fantasy football? This and many more questions to be answered between now and September as we kickoff another fantasy football season!

What started as a “simple” Excel spreadsheet to help me generate custom cheatsheet rankings for my own (multiple) fantasy football leagues, is now in its 18th year available to the public to similarly help you get an edge to win your fantasy football leagues. Of course I am talking about Fantasy Football Draft Buddy.

Fantasy Football Draft Buddy 2018

Overview

Draft Buddy creates position and overall ranking cheatsheets for your fantasy football league, based on your scoring, number of teams in the league, starting positions and other factors. It works for draft pick style and auction style drafts. It handles keepers, two-QB and flex leagues, team defense or individual defensive players.

Draft Buddy includes detailed player projections from FF Today, prior year stats from the last three NFL seasons, and even has space to add other projections, whether from another fantasy football website or projections of your own. You can weight these various projections and stats any which way to factor into your cheatsheets. Oh, it also has Average Draft Position data from various sources and updated depth charts.

Draft Buddy tracks your draft! This helps you stay organized on draft day, as you input each pick then it marks the drafted players off your cheatsheets. Draft Buddy can track a pick style draft or auction. It even integrates with MyFantasyLeague.com, so if you are in an online draft on MFL then you don’t even need to input each pick, but instead click a button to update the entire draft to the current pick.

Rules and Scoring Setup Video

I did a quick video with the 2018 Draft Buddy so you can take a look, and see how quick it is to set up your rules and scoring, and generate your initial custom cheatsheets.

There are many old fantasy football demo videos, and I will try to continue to add new videos. You can also find them direct at my YouTube channel.

Projection Updates

We have regular updates scheduled for the player projections, ADP and depth charts, and these run from now through the start of the NFL season, so you might as well purchase early, plug in your league settings and then update until your draft.

The current update schedule is 6/6 (initial release), 6/18, 6/28, 7/5, 7/12, 7/19, 7/26, 8/2, 8/9, 8/16, 8/23, 8/30 and 9/3. Whew! Essentially weekly on Thursdays starting later this month, just prior to the weekend when most drafts occur.

We also add unscheduled updates as necessary for major injuries or other breaking NFL news with a fantasy impact. Last year we did four of those, including Ezekiel Elliott’s suspension, Sammy Watkins trade to the Los Angeles Rams and Spencer Ware’s injury.

$2,500 Survivor Contest

As a bonus for Draft Buddy members everyone gets a free entry in our $2,500 NFL Survivor contest hosted at FF Today. Pick one team to win Week 1 of the NFL season and if they win, then you advance to pick a team to win Week 2. You cannot pick the same team twice, and if your team loses then you are out. The last man standing, wins! Take advantage – not everyone does – and you could win $2,500 for your efforts.

Early Bird Special

Buy early and save – 25% in fact! The regular price for Draft Buddy is $19.95 but purchase any time before August 1st and the price is only $14.95. To purchase login an existing member account or register a new member account and on the signup page, check to receive “Fantasy Football Draft Buddy”.

After purchase your account should have access to download Draft Buddy.

Tech Support

I am here to help. If you have any questions or issues having to do with anything from your member account and purchase, setting up and using Draft Buddy, or even fantasy football questions if you are looking for a second opinion (I will try to get to as many of these as possible), email me, or hit me up on Facebook or Twitter.

Thanks! Now lets get fired up for another awesome season of NFL football and fantasy football!

Fantasy Baseball Draft Buddy Now Available for 2018

January 31, 2018 By Draft Buddy 1 Comment

Wow, has it really been a whole year since my last fantasy baseball post, “Fantasy Baseball Draft Buddy 2017 Released”? Looks like it, and I am going to try to take some steps to improve in that respect, but first and foremost, Fantasy Baseball Draft Buddy is in fact ready for 2018.

As in prior years, Draft Buddy is FREE for you to download, use and update all the way through the start of the MLB season. New members need only register an account, check you want Draft Buddy and proceed to download. Existing members who had access to the 2017 version, that access should expire automatically, but you can renew by going to your member page, clicking Add/Renew Subscription, renewing (again – for free), and you are all set.

Draft Buddy once again includes fantasy baseball projections from Steamer (via Fangraphs) and Zeile (FantasyPros), plus ADP from National Fantasy Baseball Championship. Depth charts are updated by one of our own, member krby13. We should be able to add ZiPS projections plus ADP from FantasyPros once those are available. Thanks to all of these people and organizations for their contributions to Draft Buddy.

Last Player Picked is also updated for Steamer and Zeile projections as of today. There is a tentative update schedule on the Draft Buddy download page, I am still tinkering with our online cheatsheets to improve those, and go take the mock draft simulator for a spin. And away we go! Bring on fantasy baseball season!

Fantasy Football Draft Buddy 2017 Released

We are up and running for the 2017 fantasy football season! Early June is our normal release date, and we met that timetable with a soft launch last week.

Check the pages linked below for more info about our custom cheatsheet and draft tracking software, and take advantage of the early bird special right now to save $4 off the purchase price!

Overview Videos Screenshots Instructions Testimonials Purchase Download

The detailed player projections included by default in Draft Buddy are from FF Today. These include projections for 61 QB, 122 RB, 153 WR and 75 TE, so very deep at the offensive skill positions, plus every projected starting kicker, every team defense, and 120 DL, 140 LB and 150 DB on the individual defensive player side. Nice job Mike K. and Antonio!

One new feature added out of the gate is the option for average draft position (ADP) data from three different sources. We’ve used Fantasy Football Calculator in the past, it is still there, and we added MyFantasyLeague.com and FantasyPros ADP. MFL is from their 12-team public leagues, the popular MFL10s, and FantasyPros is a 12-team composite ADP from various online league management services.

In terms of additional new features, I am working to develop some Draft Buddy features online, which will make them more flexible and provide an improved user interface. These are still in development and testing phases, not ready to be released yet.

We already noticed two issues where Draft Buddy is behaving differently than it did last year in Office 365, so a new bug fix release should be available soon. For those who already purchased – thank you! – if you have any issues or notice anything not quite working the way you expect, then please let me know.

Here is to an awesome summer ahead including many a fantasy football draft, using Draft Buddy!
