Draft Buddy 2013 - Projections Update: 9/3

[Mike FF Today 607]

• Draft Buddy - Hard to believe, but this will be year #13 for the Draft Buddy... wow!

The Draft Buddy is Excel-based and allows you to create customized cheatsheets for all your leagues and functions also a Draft tracker and manager. You can view screenshots of the program here.

 

What's New?

• MyFantasyLeague Integration - Import Keepers (
  )
• MyFantasyLeague Integration - Import Draft Results (
  )
• Various minor bug fixes for unique league setups

System Requirements: The DB program requires a version of Microsoft Excel in order to function. The benefit of Excel is that Draft Buddy is both Windows and Mac compatible, with one exception - Microsoft lost their heads a few years ago and stripped out vital code making the DB incompatible with Mac Office 2008. The good news is, the CC/DB does work with all other version of Mac Office, including Mac Office 2011.

6/20 update is ready. If this Aaron Hernandez situation continues to go south, we'll do an unscheduled update for him and the rest of the Pats offensive players.

[Mike MacGregor 20]

Just posted an unscheduled update for Aaron Hernandez and the impact on the Patriots, and a few other players unrelated to that mess that MK was thinking about changing for our next update.

Fourth of July update is ready!

[Mike MacGregor 20]

7/11 Projections/ADP/depth chart update is Up!

 

More love for EJ Manuel.

 

Giovani Bernard's projections are up slightly, ranking down slightly on the website. What say you, MK?

[Mike MacGregor 20]

7/18 update is up. Not too many changes. Need the training camps to get going!

[Mike MacGregor 20]

Training camps are underway! And just posted, your latest projections, depth chart and ADP update. Open Draft Buddy, go to the action tab, and hit Update Projections.

[Mike MacGregor 20]

Just posted an unscheduled update to drop Jeremy Maclin and Dennis Pitta from the projections, and alter some others effected by their season-ending injuries.

[Mike MacGregor 20]

Welcome to August! 8/1 projection update is ready to roll.

[Mike MacGregor 20]

Just came to my attention we had a slight problem with the update pages for RB and LB from Thursday. One player was off on each, so the prior year stats didn't line up for some players. On the RB tab, David Wilson is one player effected. He was showing Doug Martin's stats from 2012.

 

Now I'm aware of this it is a simple fix. I created new update pages, so all you have to do is hit Update Projections again and you should notice the stats are now lined up properly. Sorry about that. Thanks to Todd R. for the heads up.

[Mike MacGregor 20]

WRs dropping like flies. Don't take my word for it, check our latest projections update. Plus ADP and depth charts, too. Zach Sudfield is now on your watch list.

[Mike MacGregor 20]

8/15 update is ready! Only three more scheduled updates to go. Lots of drafts this weekend and next, I'm sure. Best of luck!

[Mike MacGregor 20]

8/22 update is up and ready! Its a big one with lots of movement. See ya Dustin Keller and way down you go Le'Veon Bell, amongst about 100 other changes.

 

Lots of people prepping for this weekend, so if you find the site busy (i.e. update not working), wait a bit and try it again. Good times to try updating are early in the morning or late at night. Good luck!

[Mike MacGregor 20]

Next to last update is in the house! I've talked to plenty of you drafting the next few days. Get the latest and greatest, and good luck!

[Mike MacGregor 20]

Surprise! Another update for the Andre Brown injury. I see David Wilson up at 13th amongst RBs now in our default (non-PPR) scoring.

[Mike FF Today 607]

Our final scheduled update is done! Hopefully everyone stays healthy between now and Sunday.
