TL;DR: my cousin-in-law is in 3 leagues I run and he auto-drafted all 3 leagues after saying he could draft all 3 nights. A couple league mates have bitched about it. What do you do about it if anything?

I run 3 leagues and my cousin's husband is in all 3 of my leagues (we are fairly close - ie see each 5-8 times a year). He pays on time, never complains, is massively -EV in FF, but he auto-drafted all 3 of the drafts.

One is an auction keep 3 league where he drafted for the first 30 minutes but auto-drafted the rest which resulted him drafting josh allen, burrow, prescott & trevor lawrence in a 1 QB league and only used 223 of the 300 budget.

Another league is a must keep 11 players league (for as long as you want) and he kept burrow & baker then auto-drafted the whole time and added goff & young to his QB room and drafted 4 defenses. Autodraft used $38 out of his $540 budget ($33 for zeke and $1 for the rest).

He auto-ed the 3rd but it was snake so his team isn't horrible.

A month or so before the season I always send out a doodle for people to fill out which days they can draft. He confirmed he could draft on all 3 nights but essentially no showed them all. He's been in 1 or more of my leagues for 7+ years and I think auto-draft one league (of the 3) the last 2 years. My question is as a league manager do you do anything about it?

He sounds like free money . Why are people complaining ?

Any Jags fans out there? WTH is going on with Kirk?

If it’s a 12 team league with usual scheduling settings, the loudest complainers are probably the folks who don’t get to play against him twice during the regular season

I have him in 2 dynasty leagues and I’m wondering the same
Thing .

The people hate nothing more than when others are benefitting from the free money.

We randomize the schedule each year so some guys get to play him twice so that is part of the issue. One of the complainers mentioned that he needed a QB and the auto-drafter got 4.

My thought has always been to take the free money.

He’s been in 1 league 2 years (never cashed), another league 7 years (never cashed) and another year 11 years (only money he’s ever won is from our pay out of $5 per regular season win).

At the end of the day, almost all home leagues are for fun and bragging rights more than finding $ edges.

If there are enough complainers, I’d probably just boot him from the leagues next season. Less BS for you to listen to, as well. I’ve done it before with good friends in home leagues who would auto draft and/or not set lineups.

i tried to tip y'all off

Yea but let’s see how he does when Higgins comes back .

no doubt. JOE has a ton of mouths to feed if all the pass catchers are healthy

that said, new OC Dan Pitcher looks to be leaning heavily into 12/13 personnel



additionally, All, Jr. also has the makings of a pretty good TE. i know the FO and coaching staff are high on the youngster

All has a lot of potential. He did come from TE U. Just needs his spine to hold up.

Jajuan Jennings could be a sneaky play this week with kittle now prob out too

If they're long running competitive leagues and not super casual I'd put him on super probation. One more auto draft without some proof of a major emergency and you're out of that league. Ideally this probation is for life but could possibly entertain an appeal after 10 years.
