If this is your first time in the Wizard, you will need to create a new league.
You can create a draft guide for rotisserie league or a fantasy points league.
Most fantasy football leagues use fantasy points to score teams on a weekly basis. Head to Head fantasy football leagues almost always use fantasy point scoring, so a typical fantasy football league will have these settings:
Select the NFL teams that are supplying players to your draft pool. In most Fantasy Football leagues, usually both conferences are used to build the player pool. If you are in a league that limits the draft pool to the AFC, NFC, or last year’s playoff teams, RotoRank will save you a lot of time and effort.
Most leagues will start 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1RB/WR/TE, 1 K, and 1 DEF. If your league uses a Swing position (RB/WR/TE), then add an extra player to the RB or WR slot. In the following case, I added a third RB since everyone considers it to be the scarciest position ina fantasy football league.
Enter the fantasy points that your league assigns to each stat. Passing TDs usually very between 4 points and 6 points. Receptions are usually 0 point or 1 point. Fumbles and Interception usually have a negative value for offensive players.
If you are playing in a fantasy football league that is set up using rotisserie scoring, than the weight field should usually be set to 1, unless you want to place extra emphasis on one category. This feature is mostly used by fantasy baseball owners to put a premium on Saves or Stolen Bases, but you could easily place an emphasis on Rushing TD’s.
Put your points in for Defense as well…
After you complete the wizard, your custom guide will be calculated…
Once yourguide is processed, the “View Report” button will be visible and you can select one of three reports.
Report 1 shows rankings and the stat projections used to calculate the RotoRank.
Any column with “up and down arrows” next to the label will allow you to resort the report by that column.
For more flexibility in formatting and printing your report, use the “export button” to create an Excel spreadsheet containing RotoRank data and customize it to your prefered format.
A condensed version of the Expert Draft Guide. This simple report is easy to use and allows you to identify draft day bargains very easily…
