Alright, listen up, y’all. Let’s talk about this “auto pick” thing in that fantasy football game. You know, the one where you pick players and hope they do good so you can win against your friends or whoever.
Now, some folks, they say auto pick is a good thing, especially if you’re new to this whole fantasy football business. I mean, it’s like this, you ain’t gotta scratch your head tryin’ to figure out who to pick. The computer, it does all the thinkin’ for ya. Just sit back, sip your sweet tea, and let the machine do its thing. They call it “auto draft” too, same thing, different name, like them fancy city folks do.
Is auto pick good for beginners? Well, I reckon it is. You ain’t gotta know nothin’ ’bout football, really. Just sign up, hit that auto pick button, and bam, you got yourself a team. It’s easy peasy, like makin’ a batch of biscuits. No fuss, no muss.

But here’s the thing, if you’re serious ’bout winnin’, auto pick might not be the best way to go. See, the computer, it don’t know nothin’ ’bout your league, ’bout who your friends are pickin’, nothin’. It just picks players based on some numbers, some rankings some fellas in suits put together. And them rankings, well, they ain’t always right, let me tell ya.
If your league ain’t too serious, you know, just a bunch of folks havin’ fun, then auto pick is probably just fine. You can always go and pick up new players later, they call it the “waiver wire,” like you’re claimin’ somethin’ that nobody else wanted. You can fix your team up that way, make it better.
Now, if you wanna be smart about it, even with auto pick, there’s some things you can do. Some folks say you should start with a running back and a wide receiver, those are the fellas who catch the ball and run with it. Then, they say, get yourself a quarterback, that’s the fella who throws the ball. Get a good one of those, and you’re in business. But mind you, this is just what some folks say, everyone’s got their own ideas, like how to make the best darn apple pie.
- Running Back (RB): Get a good one early, they say.
- Wide Receiver (WR): Need one of them too, to catch the ball.
- Quarterback (QB): The fella who throws the ball, get a good’un.
But let me tell you somethin’, them fancy rankings they put out every week, them “Week 12 rankings” and “Week 13 rankings,” they don’t mean a whole lot if you’re auto pickin’. ‘Cause the computer, it ain’t lookin’ at them. It’s just doin’ its own thing. So don’t get too caught up in all that.
Some smart fellas, they even make “roadmaps” for the first two rounds of the draft. They tell you who to pick and when. But if you’re auto pickin’, you ain’t needin’ no roadmap, the computer is doin’ the drivin’. It’s like lettin’ a mule pull your wagon, you just gotta sit there and hold on.
So, is auto pick good? It depends, I say. If you’re new, or if your league ain’t too serious, then go ahead, auto pick away. But if you wanna win, if you wanna be the best darn fantasy football player in your neck of the woods, then you gotta put in the work. You gotta do your research, you gotta know your players, and you gotta make your own picks. That’s the way I see it.

But hey, it’s just a game, right? Don’t get too worked up about it. Have fun, enjoy yourself, and maybe, just maybe, you’ll win a few bucks along the way. And don’t you go forgettin’ to check them waiver wires, that’s where you can find some hidden gems, players nobody else wanted, but might just turn out to be a real star.
Now, I gotta go make some supper. All this talk about football got me hungry. You go on and have yourself a good day, and good luck with your fantasy team, whether you auto pick or not.
In short, auto pick is like this: easy for beginners, maybe not the best for serious players, but fine for casual fun. You can always fix your team later, so don’t sweat it too much. Just have fun, that’s what matters.
