How to See Draft Order ESPN Fantasy Football: How to Set Draft Order in ESPN Fantasy Football

On the ESPN fantasy platform, it is the league manager (LM) that determines whether to randomize the draft order or to manually set the order.

Often, leagues that run multiple years set the draft order manually in the reverse of the previous year’s standings.

In new leagues where no history has been established, it is fair to allow the computer to randomize the draft order right before the draft.

Pre-Draft – League Manager Abilities

To edit your draft settings on the ESPN Fantasy App, your League Manager must visit the “League Manager Tools” tab in the menu
Then, your League Manager must tap “Edit Draft Settings”
From this screen, your League Manager can change whatever draft settings that they want

Here’s a video to help set your draft up from the website:

You can access the draft settings page up to one hour before your league’s draft is scheduled to begin
To edit your draft settings, your League Manager must click on the “LM Tools” tab
Click on “Edit Draft Settings” under the “Draft Tools” heading
On this page you can change any of your draft settings, and edits submitted to the system will automatically trigger an e-mail to each team manager in the league, notifying them of the changes
Changes to live drafts can be made up to one hour before the scheduled live draft time. Additional draft times will be added as required
Changes for autopick drafts can be made until 2:59 a.m. ET the day the autopick draft is scheduled to process
Changes for offline drafts can be made until the time the League Manager begins entering the offline results

Click on the League Manager Tools
If your league uses the live online or autopick draft method and has the draft order setting as “Manually Set by League Manager,” you can access the Set Draft Order page anytime until your league’s draft is scheduled to begin
On the page, you can manually assign a draft position for each team in the league
If no draft order is set, the draft order is randomly determined when your league’s draft begins
For offline drafts, the system does not observe a draft order

You can access the Reset Draft page after your league’s draft is complete
If you wish to reset the draft, the system will completely change the league’s status from post-draft to pre-draft
This will undo all draft picks and allow team managers to set their draft list again, if they wish
