-- System Requirements --

The DB 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.

Update 8/17 -

- Dalvin and Zeke find new homes

I had already baked in free agent RB signings for both of these teams so there isn't much movement for Breece Hall and Rhamondre Stevenson. Slight downgrade for Breece while Rhamondre is largely unchanged.

A lot of movement here as we're 2 weeks away from the start of the regular season.

Dropped -

- LB DeMarvion Overshown, DAL
- WR Corey Davis, NYJ
- WR Lance McCutcheon, LAR
- Caleb Shudak, TEN

- Bumped up a couple rookie TEs, WR Chris Olave
- QB Shuffle in SF
- Downgrades for Josh Jacobs, Jonathan Taylor
- A lot of movement in back-half of WRs
- Various depth chart edits

Need to keep our eye on TE Cole Kmet. He got hurt yesterday but nobody knows what the injury is.

[Mike FF Today 721]

Update 8/25 - 

- Did an unscheduled update today for WRs Jerry Jeudy (hamstring) and Terry McLaurin (foot) given their injuries.
- Courtland Sutton & Jahan Dotson get a bump up.
- Also moved LB Isaiah Simmons (trade)) over to the NYG.

[Mike FF Today 721]

Update 8/31 -

Rosters trimmed to 53 & Jonathan Taylor...

- A lot of shuffling around on the backend of the depth charts with all the cuts and re-signings.
- OMG the kickers! Multiple kickers changed teams over the last few days.
- Decent fall for Jonathan Taylor who will miss at least four games on PUP.  I'm trying to avoid him as much as possible in my remaining drafts.
