THE UNDRAFTED
BENCHWARMERS
THE HISTORY OF THE BENCHWARMERS
Founding commissioner suddenly has an uncorrelated interest in sports and football.
Formed by The Loyal 7 of Bryan, Jess, Sergio, Wyland, Sean, Alyssa, & Trennon.
Jess drafts Jonathan Taylor #1 overall (#33 RB of the year, w/ worst fantasy season of his career). Lessons are learned by most, mistakes are repeated by all.
The league moves from Yahoo to the Sleeper platform and upgrades from dial-up internet and pagers.
Sergio is seen typing away to ChatGPT throughout the draft while other managers laugh at him... Proceeds to have the 1st back-to-back championship reign.
With the help of the commissioner's new best friend, Claude, the league's official website launches.

DRAFT HEADQUARTERS
Draft date, time, and location haven't been set for the 2026 season yet. The Commissioner will post it here — and to the group chat, like a functioning adult.
DRAFT POSITION LOTTERY
The draft order is a weighted lottery based on prior year's Pick 'Em Results (weeks 1-16). The better you finished, the more lottery tickets you have in the drawing. Random drawing will take place 1 week before the draft with each manager making their selection of remaining draft positions available as their name is drawn. Newly entering managers are randomly assigned 1–9 lottery tickets, capped so they can never out-draw the top 3 ticket holders — never more tickets than the 3rd-highest holder that year.
