Mock draft

Runs the rest of the board forward and stops when it is your turn. Every other seat drafts the way that seat drafts — its positional habits, what it still needs, and whether it is the kind of team that takes a backup quarterback in round 11. Picks land as real picks, so undo and reset work on them; this is a throwaway session.

Leagues

A league is the durable thing; a draft happens under it. Switch between them from the picker in the header. Deleting one retires it — its draft history is kept, it just stops appearing and stops receiving picks. You always keep at least one.

Everything about a league — its scoring, its teams, how it drafts — is behind Edit. That switches the board to the league it opens, on purpose: a settings screen that edits a league you are not looking at is how you rewrite the wrong league's owners.

Draft capture

A Chrome extension that watches your FanDraft or ESPN draft room and posts every pick — and every losing bid — here as it happens. The losing bids are the point: an auction price is set by the second-highest bidder, so the winning number alone cannot tell you whether a player was cheap or contested.

It posts to this server automatically; there is nothing to point at a host. Sign in through the extension's own popup and choose your league — once, before draft night.

What's new

RotoTells is in beta and ships often. Newest first. This is a beta; the ground moves under people between one draft and the next, and a board that changed silently is a board they stop trusting.

League

Where the settings come from

Manual Import

Manual means you keep the scoring and owners yourself, and nothing will offer to overwrite them.

The shape of the league itself. Every one of these changes numbers on the board if it is wrong, which is why they are asked for rather than guessed.

League name

Draft type Teams Budget Roster slots

Players are kept year to year

Off hides keeper assignment, keeper cost and the keeper filters. Keepers already recorded are not deleted — they just stop being asked for.

How your league awards points. Everything below — projected points, the rankings, where the tier cliffs fall — is computed from this, so a guide under the wrong rules quietly puts the wrong players at the top. Currently —.

Or start from a preset

Set every category myself

Every category a league can score, from your settings page or rulebook. Yardage rows are points per N yards; the rest are points per event. Leave a row at 0 if your league does not score it.
• marks the nine categories that change the numbers on the board — a season projection carries passing, rushing and receiving totals and nothing else. The rest are saved as part of your rules but cannot move a projected point total, and pretending otherwise would be fiction.

Import a ranking

A CSV from Rotoworld, or anyone else's list — rank, position, name, team. It is saved under a name and picked from the header, beside the league.

A ranking becomes your order for this draft, exactly like dragging players by hand — it does not change the projections or the points. Players the file does not mention keep their current order underneath, and a name that cannot be placed is reported, never guessed.

Who is in this league, and what the draft site calls them. Owner identity is the one thing this app cannot get wrong — a bias coefficient keyed to a team name is worth nothing next season — so a label resolves only through a declared alias, never a guess.

Name	Team	Abbr	Alias	Seat

Keeper cost

UNSETTLED league rule — it moves inflation across 1.0 and every expected price with it.

End the draft

Closes this draft. The picks and the log stay readable — it just stops receiving. Starting another draft under this league then gives you a fresh board, which is how you throw away a mock.

Reset draft

Clears all picks, the on-the-block player, and this year's FanDraft team mappings. Keepers and your board prep (tiers, ranks, sleepers) are kept. Use this to re-run a test.

Draft log

Every event of this draft, oldest first, one JSON object per line. This is the read-it-with-your-eyes recovery path: if everything else is lost, the picks are still in here in order. Grab a copy on the night.
