Fun Ways To Decide Fantasy Football Draft Order In 2024
It is August, which means Fantasy Football is right around the corner. As an avid Fantasy player myself, I have enjoyed an era of dominance in my Fantasy League because I know ball, but it is finally time to make my "reign of terror" more challenging to continue, and that starts with unique ways of picking draft order. Here are ways to mix it up and keep it fresh in 2024.
Picking a Little League World Series Team
This one is very common. As a 4-peat Fantasy Football champion, spanning the years of 2020-2023, this will be how we determine draft order this year. Our league's methods of picking draft order have never been this entertaining. Nothing more electric than betting on 12-year-olds to win baseball games. There's always one team with a 6-foot-tall "child" that hits 300+ feet bombs and throws gas. Put the teams in a hat, and ride with whatever team you pick. Get prepared for at least CMC or JJ on your roster if anyone gets Japan.
Golfing
We have been trying to use this method for picking draft order, but schedules are difficult to line up. Regardless, this one might be tough if you and your buddies are avid golfers. I do not trust my group of friends not to protest a golf game involving draft capital, and I can only imagine how contentious it would be if we get serious about "playing it as it lies" and "putt till it's in the hole rules". This is a dangerous route to pick draft order, but also emasculating if you can dominate your buddies in golf. Keep it easy, whoever gets best score, gets first pick.
Spelling Bee
This method was used for one of my subsidiary leagues last year. Due to being a phonetic savant, I did, in fact, get 2nd out of 10 in a competition involving physical therapists and their ability to spell. It felt good to feel like an intellectual for about an hour. It was awesome. If you know your friends can't spell or lack any redeemable skills from school, then this should be the top method to pick if you have a league with a bunch of idiots.
*Doing multiplication tables or any math for that matter would also suffice
Mario Kart
Gather all your friends around to gander at the GOAT gaming franchise. Mario Kart can ruin friendships and your fantasy league as well. One blue shell can cause a catastrophic rift between your friend group, but this is fantasy football, and you must take no prisoners. As a seasoned veteran who's been playing Kart since the 64, I would love to choose this method. This choice has the greatest risk-reward for a draft position, but you just have to remember everyone will remain friends after (maybe?).
