Tell me you don’t recognize many of these guys!
So how can you tap into this fountain of wisdom? Choose your favorites and follow them on Twitter/X as they tweet about their strategies and observations during the draft. Then, when the draft ends (about two weeks from now), they’ll write up their own summary of how it went for publication here on DataForce.
This league follows DataForce’s Draftmaster format, with a standard lineup (1QB, 2RB, 3WR, 1TE, 1PK, 1DE). This is a 24-round bestball contest with no owner involvement after the draft, so there’s no room for mistakes. Every pick counts in a very deep draft.
Here’s a quick video about how Draftmaster leagues work:
You can try one out yourself in the DataForce Lobby.
These twelve guys have put their talents on display and contributed their winnings to the charity of their choice for ten years, and it’s still going strong.
