You're doing it wrong.I just ran a three mocks on the Draft Dominator picking the player the program told me to pick just to see what my team would look like. All three times the program rated my team the worst at the end of the draft.
Did you set the other teams to draft based on ADP (on the general setup tab) or based on the DD's default picks?I just ran a three mocks on the Draft Dominator picking the player the program told me to pick just to see what my team would look like.

Some expert lists, some as magazine guys.... a little of each. But you would think taking advice from the program would net me a decent team, right?Did you set the other teams to draft based on ADP (on the general setup tab) or based on the DD's default picks?I just ran a three mocks on the Draft Dominator picking the player the program told me to pick just to see what my team would look like.

This is what works best for me as well. I also find that I use the Data/Historical Dominator an awful lot when I am doing the research for my projections.
yeah those also
Stopped using the DD after 3 bad drafts in a row even after I plugged in league specifics. I still use it but only as a cheat sheet.
Not the proper forum.....go to the Applications Forum for DD advice. There are many outstanding threads there (specifically the pinned threads) which will provide you with the answers you seek.Yes, I was being a turd. But, I was correct.Helpful adviceYou're doing it wrong.I just ran a three mocks on the Draft Dominator picking the player the program told me to pick just to see what my team would look like.

So you literally walk into your draft with nothing?!
All I walk into a draft with is a sheet of players in no particular order and mark them off as they are being picked. I feel I've done my research ahead of time and don't need a list of players ranked. I know how they rank in my mind at that point.
1.) I used to just use Dodds projections for years, as those are what comes through with DD, but last year I started playing around a bit more with PD and tried using a mix of the 4 available staffers projections and a little bit of my own (depending on the player and whether I thought the numbers seemed off.) I personally found it provided me with what I felt was a truer overall ranking within DD (after importing the PD file I created.) This year I'm skipping my own projections altogether and just weighting it out 25% for each staffer. I still like what I see much better than just Dodds at 100%. I really wish FBG would incorporate more staff projections into PD, but for now the 4 provided help greatly.2.) In DD I weight my divisional games at 1.20 and the rest of the games in the regular season at 1.00. I bump it up to 1.25 for playoff weeks 15-17. I've been playing with this more this year and have considered bumping it up even further but have not run any mocks to verify the validity of doing so.3.) My baseline is "Joe's Secret Formula." I really have no clue what that formula is, but it seems to give me the best results over the other options. I've tried the "Worst Starter" baseline before, but I've found it only really works well when I'm dealing with a bunch of inexperienced drafters and even then it isn't the greatest. When dealing with drafters who have a ton of experience, Joe's formula works best for me.Hope this helps.BTW HTF, you should really head on over to the Applications Forum for more in-depth analysis and discussion on weighting weeks, baselines and PD projection weightings.Rody
Not messing up at all. I know when I should draft a player and when I should wait by the flow of the draft and remaining players. I don't need an ADP to tell me that, I just know it.
I cant stand this Draft Dominator, cant figure the damn thing out for auction league
WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNERREAD all of the things listed, ask why, make your own tweaks and then use the most important tool of al.......YOUR BRAIN
My track record in startup $$$ leagues is impeccable, so I'll have to disagree with you. I have them ordered, I just don't have them ordered on paper or in the computer.
with proper punctuation, that is the quote of the year.
over 1yr joined and u cant figure out the applications?ouch
Even after loading up various rankings with the Projections dominator, rounds 5 through about 9 are about 95% IDPs...and IDP's score about 2-3 points a week in my league.I'm sure DD is a great tool, but throw in anything that's not standard and it can't seem to handle it.
If you use Excel you should really check out my site. The application I created was born out of the frustration with copying/pasting players around a standard spreadsheet. Instead of copying/pasting you can use drag and drop. I also have configurable tags for things like Bust, Sleeper, and Injured, or you can use the configurable note section to record anything you think is of value.
You also rank Greg Jennings below Donald Driver..
You must be look at another site. I have Jennings ranked 18th and Driver ranked 27th. This is the year Jennings will separate from the group. He's got youth on Driver and outperformed Driver in fantasy point output season.
