How to Use the Fantasy Football Mock Draft Simulator in Draft Champion

As you can see, our mock draft simulator—as part of Draft Champion, presented by Gopuff—is a free-to-use tool. If you want to save your drafts and access previous mock drafts, create a Fantasy Life account.

Configure your Custom Draft Settings

The first step in conducting your simulated mock draft is to configure your draft settings atop the tool. The configurations are outlined below.

  • Scoring System: Choose from 19 pre-built scoring systems, including 0.5-PPR, standard, TE Premium, and more.
  • Custom Scoring: Is your league so unique that it doesn’t fit one of the offered 19 scoring systems? You can sync your league’s exact scoring settings here.
  • Simulation Mode: Select between “auto-draft opponent picks” to speed up the draft and manually make your own selections, or “in-person draft mode” to manually enter every pick, opponents and your own. In-person draft mode is an excellent way to use Draft Champion as a companion to your in-person drafts.
  • League Type: Choose between “2025 fantasy” or “dynasty”, depending on what style of league you’re in.
  • Draft Type: Choose your draft style from a snake, linear, or third-round reversal formats.
  • Number of Teams: Enter the number of teams in the draft. Draft Champion supports up to 18 teams.
  • Draft Position: Choose to either randomize the draft order entirely or manually pick where you want to draft from.
  • Roster Positions: Fine-tune your roster settings, ensuring the correct distribution of starters and bench spots.
  • Pick Clock: You can choose to add a pick clock to your mock draft, ranging from 15 seconds to 2 minutes. You can also choose to eliminate the pick clock entirely (the default setting).
  • ADP: Choose from various fantasy football providers for your ADP, including Yahoo, ESPN, and six more options.
  • Your Draft Strategy: Select your approach to your mock draft, including balanced, Zero RB, Hero RB, Late-Round QB, and more.
  • Opponents' Draft Strategy: Make the same selections on a team-by-team basis for every opponent in the mock draft simulation.
  • Keepers: If your league is a keeper league, you can search and input the keepers here, based on team and round.
     

Once you’ve adjusted your settings to fit what you’re looking for, you can click “Start Draft”.

Draft Dashboard

There are three primary elements of the Draft Dashboard that you will see:

Rankings: On the left-hand side of the dashboard, you will see tiered rankings from Fantasy Life’s consensus rankings. This rankings list will include all of the remaining available players in your mock draft simulation. If you want to filter the rankings positionally or by a specific expert (or experts), you have those options atop the module.

Queue: Similar to setting your in-draft queue on platforms like Sleeper, ESPN, or Underdog, you can set and adjust your queue here, with the option to filter your queue by position.

Roster: This is the traditional roster view of your drafted players and remaining roster spots. You can also choose to view any of your opponents’ rosters here, too. If you’re unsure how you want to approach your empty roster spots, you can click “Get a Suggestion” to be taken to the Draft Assistant element of Draft Champion.

Draft Assistant

The Draft Assistant element serves as a step-by-step guide through your draft, made up of four separate pillars:

  • Draft Assistant: Generate suggested draft picks for your team based on where you currently are in the draft and what players are available. Filterable by position, each player card will display their bye week, rankings, ADP, projection, and more.
  • Cheatsheets: View the rankings in cheatsheet form, both overall and positionally.
  • Draft Board: View the current draft board.
  • Draft Forecast: Similar to the cheatsheet view, you will be able to see the best available players in cheatsheet form, only this time, including their draft forecast, aka the probability that the player will be available at your next pick.
  • Previous Drafts: View your previous mock draft simulations, including your draft grade and strategy for each.
