If it makes a difference, these guys had higher Yahoo ranks but I left them off my list. The rules say that it goes by your list first, then the Yahoo one. Here's the important part:
"Active and Bench Picks
It's important to remember that all starting positions are filled before any bench players are chosen. The system determines a maximum number of players to draft per position (starters plus bench) so that your roster doesn’t end up with too many players at any single position. That is, the system doesn’t pick five players from the same position for your team in a league that has a single starting player in that position."
The only thing that I did when setting it up was excluding all kickers so not sure if that messed up their formula. Any thoughts?
That doesn't sound like fun. Horrorfan - do you have to Autodraft again for our DobberFootball league this year? If that's the case, and you're worried the system is going to mess up your picks, if you'd rather send me (or anyone in our pool) your pre-draft rankings before the draft and temporarily change your usual yahoo password and give one of us access to select your team I wouldn't mind doing that to help ya out so you don't end up with a bench full of one position or something ridiculous like that. Let me know.
