There is an "autodraft" selection. You have to use Yahoo's player rankings (or ESPN, CBS, NFL.com, etc), and it will autodraft best player available based on team needs. (ie it will not draft 16 RBs and a kicker) But in the Fantasy World, autodrafting your team is horseshit.
If a person doesn't show up or can't be at the draft, then Yahoo will autodraft for them. One of the biggest failures of autodraft is that it doesn't take bye weeks into account. So it could draft you a fantastic team, 75% of which is on Bye week 5. So you either have to use all your roster moves or just eat a loss on week 5.
I just spotted that function actually. Surely you can beat the bye week bug by drafting players from all over the league, rather than one or two specific teams?
