Alright, now, let me tell y’all how to set up auto draft on the ESPN Fantasy app. If you’re like me, gettin’ into this fantasy football thing can be confusing, right? So this auto draft here can make things real easy, just in case you ain’t got time to pick every player yourself. Let’s get goin’ step by step on how you do it.

Step 1: Download and Open the ESPN Fantasy App
First thing you wanna do is make sure you got the ESPN Fantasy app downloaded on your phone. If you already got it, open that up. If not, head on over to the App Store or Google Play, search “ESPN Fantasy,” and hit that download button. After it’s downloaded, open the app and log in if you haven’t already.
Step 2: Go to Your League’s Page
Now that you’re in the app, look for your league. It should show up on your home screen if you’ve already joined one. Just tap on it, and it’ll take you to the league page. That’s where all the action happens, so get familiar with this spot.
Step 3: Find the Draft Settings
Alright, now comes the tricky part. Look for something called “Draft Settings.” Depending on your app version, it might be under “League Settings” or “My Team.” Keep pokin’ around till you find it. Once you’re there, you’ll see some different options for setting up your draft.
Step 4: Set the Draft Type to Auto Draft
Now in these draft settings, look for a way to set the draft type. You’ll usually see choices like “Manual” or “Auto-Pick.” To set up auto draft, you’re gonna wanna choose “Auto-Pick” or “Auto Draft,” whatever it’s called in your app. This tells the system that it should go ahead and pick players for you when your turn comes up.

Step 5: Edit Auto-Pick Strategy (Optional)
Now, here’s a little extra trick. If you got some preferences about which type of players you want (like, maybe you need a strong quarterback or more wide receivers), look for an option called “Edit Auto-Pick Strategy” or something like that. Tap on it, and you’ll get to choose what positions to prioritize. This way, the app knows what you’re lookin’ for, even though it’s pickin’ players for ya.
Step 6: Make Sure You Save Your Settings
Don’t forget to save any changes you made. Look around for a “Save” button or just go back a page, depending on the app’s layout. You don’t want all that effort to go to waste, right?
Step 7: Wait for Draft Day
Now you’re all set! When draft day rolls around, the ESPN app will handle everything for ya. Just make sure you don’t log in and start pickin’ yourself, or it’ll turn off the auto draft. Sit back, relax, and let the app do its thing. On draft day, if you don’t make any moves, the app should automatically start drafting players for you as per your preferences.
Things to Watch Out For
- Check Your Draft Time: Make sure you know what time your draft is scheduled for. You can find this in the league’s main page under draft settings. Knowing the draft time helps if you want to watch the picks in real-time.
- Pre-Rank Your Players: If you’re picky about some players, most versions of the app will let you pre-rank players. Head over to the player list in the draft settings and arrange them as per your liking. This will help the app prioritize your top choices even during auto draft.
- Stay Logged Out During Draft: Once auto draft is set, don’t start tapping around the app during draft time, or it might accidentally switch back to manual. Just let it do the work for ya.
Why Auto Draft Helps

Look, sometimes we just don’t have time to sit around pickin’ every single player ourselves, right? That’s where auto draft comes in handy. It saves you time, and the app usually picks decent players based on rankings and who’s available. So even if you ain’t watchin’, you’ll still end up with a team to play the season with.
There ya go! Now you know how to set up auto draft on ESPN Fantasy. Just follow these steps, and you’ll be all set. Happy draftin’!
