The one thing I am not going to do in this post is share Excel tricks or how I calculate various things. If you are a Traditionalist, my guess is this post will not sway you but at least it will give you ammunition when mocking the guy with the laptop next you on draft day.

My experience with fantasy draft software is more limited. I have seen my fair share of others’ spreadsheets. The response has been better than I expected given how different it is from the standard draft room. Last year, I added it to our season-long subscription package.
