No fantasy tool
matches everything you get in the Draft Buddy
Create Custom Cheatsheets
The first half of the DB is designed to create custom cheatsheets
for YOUR fantasy football draft. Input your own fantasy league's
scoring system and other variables, and the DB creates custom
draft cheatsheets based on projections from Mike Krueger of
FFToday.
You can also tweak the projections as you see fit, or add
your own projections, or input someone else's and average
them together. The DB handles all fantasy positions
including individual defensive players (IDP) . It includes
prior year stats so you can check each player's production
over the past few years and a super handy depth chart to boot.

Importing
Projections
Projection Pal is a completely optional add-on for the
Draft Buddy,
but what it does is help import alternate projections, rankings,
stats, notes or any player data you can find (on the Internet)
that you want in the DB. The DB includes 3 sections for alternate
projections, 3 custom fields for each position, and a section for
user notes. You can use Pal to import data into any of these
sections. Then within the DB you can take advantage of
features to average projections, use cheatsheets with notes,
include custom fields into the scoring, and more.
