We’ve all been there. Say you’re doing a mock draft, trying to get ready for the season. Then it’s five minutes before the next mock is available, or the person picking ahead of you is taking way too long or the auto-drafters are ruining the flow — we get it.

Well, if you subscribe to Yahoo Fantasy Plus, those days are over! Now, with Instant Mock Drafts, you can spin up a mock draft tailored to your personal league settings in no time at all.
Here’s everything you need to know:
Drafts are tailored to your league: No more guessing if a mock draft from a generic 10-team league with standard scoring matches your custom setup. Now you can draft against our algorithm, which mimics your league opponents.
No waiting for users to join: Draft immediately. That means no lobbies and no dropouts.
Great for testing strategy: Try Zero RB, early TE — anything you want. You can even test what happens if you draft Brock Bowers first overall.
Track your growth: Save and revisit your draft results to see how your approach evolves.

How does it work? Simply go to your league card on the homescreen of the Yahoo Fantasy app or your league page on the Yahoo Fantasy site and click “Instant Mock Draft.” You’ll be prompted to pick your position in the draft. If your league manager has already established your position, we will automatically default to that position, but feel free to change it. From there, start drafting!
That’s not all! While drafting, all your league opponents will be simulated using our custom VOLS (Value Over Last Starter) algorithm, ensuring you have ample competition and realistic results.
Once your Instant Mock Draft is complete, you’ll be sent an email containing all your results per pick.
