Can I use an undrafted player more than once (Same 3rd TE or P or ST on all 3 squads)

Posted by milest on 2/3/2026 10:48:00 PM (view original):
I have a question. Do I have to draft starters? Can I draft a back up RB and find my starter out of the leftovers?

Hi milest and Welcome,

With so many exclusives being drafted. It would be good to draft starters and fill out depth from the leftovers. But, there will be some interesting Draft strategies knowing our members.

Yes, you can fill out your depth with the same players and STs on your teams if you choose. Just no clones on a team.

DC, I saw you have the 3 draft series leagues available to enter now as Private leagues. We won't be able to actually enter the leagues until after we do the draft and know what players to put on our roster/s, but will the each of the leagues run simultaneously, or will we run them in any particylar order (50mill first, then 55 mill, then 60 mill or vice versa with 60mill first and 50 mill last)?

Mainly I'll just need to know if I should enter all 6 of my teams simultaneously at once or if I should enter them 2 at a time for when each league runs (personally I'd prefer the latter as managing 6 teams at once is alot for me, and then that way we technically only have to draft players for 1 league at a time instead of all of them for all 3 leagues at once...probably a little easier for you to commish that way too).

I hope I'm making sense! :)

The Draft Series, will run one league at a time. Starting at 50 mil, then move forward to 55, then 59, and finally 65

The posted Leagues, will be there to help with assigning players & units and budgeting for each team as they are stocked.

NFL Draft Series: to return

There have been some inquiries about what an all Clone team could look like and about budgeting within 75 mil

I threw all these clone combinations together in about 2 hours and filled a defunct 60 mil NFL Theme league by Founder : docolts20

So, with 75 mil it's got to be much easier ... I will open the Clone Clown Circus Theme league from a private league ~ join NFL29166 this can be your draft prep league.
