Not every fantasy draft is created equal — and that’s the point.
Random drafts are great for casual leagues where everyone starts on an even playing field. They’re fast, unbiased, and keep things light-hearted.
Weighted drafts, however, are a go-to choice for competitive keeper leagues or leagues with returning players. They reward poor performers from the previous season and help balance long-term competitiveness.
Both systems work — it just depends on your league’s goals. Use Fantasy Draft Lottery to easily toggle between both styles and keep everyone on board with the rules.
