Fantasy Football Draft Simulator

Practice your draft strategy before it counts. Run mock drafts in either Snake or Auction format using The Jack of All Stats’ 2026 Pre-Draft Redraft Rankings. Pick your slot, set your league size, and face CPU opponents that draft based on positional need and player value — not just ADP.

How to use the simulator

Choose Snake or Auction mode, set your league size (8, 10, 12, or 14 teams), and either pick your draft slot (snake) or budget (auction). The CPU opponents fill positional needs intelligently — they won’t draft a third QB in round 5 or grab a kicker before round 14. When the draft ends, you’ll see your projected points total and overall roster value.

What makes this simulator different

Most free draft simulators use generic ADP-only logic, which makes the CPU feel robotic and predictable. This one blends positional need with player value — meaning the AI teams behave more like real drafters. Late-round value plays (handcuffs, sleeper TEs, mid-tier QBs) actually fall to where they should, and you’ll feel real pressure when a position run starts. The auction mode goes further: CPU teams track inflation, reserve $1 per remaining slot, and bid up to ceilings derived from each player’s value rank.

Built on rankings you can trust

The player pool comes directly from our 2026 Redraft Rankings, with PPR scoring values and ESPN ADP baked in. Projected points come from our 2026 Player Projections. Re-run the simulator any time the rankings update.
