How is draft order determined by Yahoo? ›

Draft pick order

The draft order reverses after each round so that the last manager to pick is the first to pick in the next round (1-12, 12-1, 1-12, etc). Each manager's place in the order is randomly selected but can be customized in Private Leagues by their commish.

For example, QB is the highest-scoring position in most leagues. But elite RBs and WRs typically get drafted first because you need more starters at those positions and their scoring drops off more sharply. That's why the best way to draft is generally to prioritize RBs and WRs while waiting on QBs and TEs.

The order of selection is determined by the reverse order of finish in the previous season. Barring any trades between clubs, each round starts with the team that finished with the worst record and ends with the Super Bowl champions. Teams that didn't qualify for the playoffs are assigned draft slots 1-20.

At this stage, wide receiver depth is strong, but securing a quarterback with one of these picks is crucial.
