Rotowire projections pre-populated?

Hi Mike. I've been using the Draft Buddy for 20+ years now. I love it. Thanks.

Every year, I use the Buddy to average the projections from FFToday, Rotowire, and Fantasy Football Index. I use the VLOOKUP method to populate the projections from Rotowire and FFI. This year, I noticed the Rotowire projections were pre-populated. At first I thought maybe the FFToday projections had somehow copied over to Rotowire, but I checked and the projections are similar, but different. I also noticed a couple of players had no Rotowire projections (I just copied over the FFToday projections for these players).

I usually get the 48 hour free trial from Rotowire to download their projections a couple of days before my draft, and then insert them into the Draft Buddy. I'm wondering if I even need to do that this year. Are the Rotowire projections showing up in my Draft Buddy legit? Do you have some partnership with Rotowire this year? Will the Rotowire projections update along with the FFToday projections?

Hi T.M. Great username and avatar btw. Memories. lol.

No, no partnership with Rotowire. Oh... what I put in Draft Buddy initially is projections from FantasyPros - their consensus projections. Now, those are from back in June, I would not suggest using them. There must be some significant changes since then. I was testing Projection Pal, used the FantasyPros projections, and ended up putting them in Draft Buddy in the "Site B" (second) yellow section on each of the position tabs.

So I think you should import the Rotowire projections like you used to if you want to stick with that method. Overwrite the projections that are in that section.

Thanks and have a great season!

Ok. Thanks, Mike. I figured it was too good to be true 

I'll do the Rotowire free trial as usual and import them that way. Thanks for the quick reply, and thanks for the Draft Buddy!
