-- Purchase Info --

You may make your purchase with your credit card through Paypal, or by check/money order. Please make sure you are logged in with your FF Today Account BEFORE you make your purchase. It will make the purchase process much easier for you.

Early Bird Price ($14.95) will be in effect until 7/31. That's a 25% savings off the regular price. It's a no-brainer.

-- DB System Requirements --

The DB program requires a full 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 DB does work with all other versions of Mac Office, including Mac Office 2011.

-- Projection Updates --

Here's our tentative schedule for projection updates. Unscheduled updates will occur as needed for injuries, player movement, etc. Rest assured, we'll be on top of everything.

6/3 - Initial release
6/17 - Done
6/27 - Done
7/4 - Done
7/11 - Done
7/18 - Done
7/25 - Done
8/1 - Done

If you have specific problem or question about the DB, please start a new thread in this forum and we'll be able to respond in a more timely manner. Thanks and happy drafting!

6/17/19 Update

Starting to hear rumblings that a potential Tyreek Hill suspension may not be lengthy (4 weeks or less). So, adjusting him higher (which I suspect is still lower than most) for the time being.

Up -
QB Patrick Mahomes, KC
QB Baker Mayfield, CLE
RB Nick Chubb, CLE
WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling, GB
TE Vance McDonald, PIT
TE Ben Watson, NE

Down -
RB Kareem Hunt, CLE
RB Miles Sanders, PHI
WR Sammy Watkins, KC
WR Marqise Lee, JAC

Dropped from Rankings -
TE Austin Seferian Jenkins, NE

6/27/19 Update

I was initially to high on the Steelers passing game, so Big-Ben needs to come down a little. Will continue to adjust KC WRs as we learn more about Tyreek Hill who is trending up. Slight moves down for Gurley and Lindsay while re-adjusting the workload for Guice/Peterson. Initially had Sterling Shepard too low, who appears to be more of an offensive focal point than I first thought.

Up - 
RB Chris Carson
RB Derrius Guice
RB Rashad Penny
RB Darrell Henderson
WR Tyreek Hill
WR Dante Pettis
WR Sterling Shepard

Down -
QB Ben Roethlisberger
RB Todd Gurley
RB Phillip Lindsay
RB Adrian Peterson
WR Marqise Lee
WR Marquise Goodwin
TE Chris Herndon

RB Damien Williams
RB Nick Chubb
WR Tyreek Hill
WR Sterling Shepard

Down -
QB Russell Wilson
QB Nate Sudfeld
RB Carlos Hyde
RB Kareem Hunt

WR John Brown

8/25/19 Update

Unscheduled update for Andrew Lucks retirement 😯 and the Lamar Miller injury.

- Luck and Miller removed
- Brissett up but didn't include him in my big Tier of QBs, meaning he's outside the top 20.
- I expect the Texans to bring in a veteran RB, but I see Duke as low-end RBs in PPR leagues
- Bump down for all IND pass catchers
- Adjusted WAS TEs (Reed concussion)
- Slight adjustments to SEA WRs
- Moved down Carlos Hyde in anticipation of him being released

My draft is on Monday morning.  Any chance we'll get another update before the weekend is over to account for surprise cuts (McCoy) and trades (Stills)?

Still working out the timing with Mike K, Rob. Do we think the last domino has fallen before the chaos of Week 1? Hope so!
