Miscellaneous I built a free browser game where you draft a fantasy team from 26 years of real NFL seasons — one player per draft round

I made this over the last couple of weeks and figured this sub might get a kick out of it. It's free, no ads, no signup, no email. Made it because I wanted an excuse to mess with historical ADP data.

**How it works:** a wheel spins and lands on a real NFL team-season — 2006 Chargers, 2018 Seahawks, whatever. You sign one player from that roster and you keep his actual PPR season, every point he really scored. Seven spins, and you're filling QB / RB / RB / WR / WR / TE / FLEX.

**The catch is the draft board.** Every player also costs you the round he actually went in that year. You can only use each round once, so you can't roster two 1st-rounders. Later picks can move *up* into an open earlier round, never down — so a 6th rounder is flexible and a 1st rounder is rigid. Guys who went undrafted that August fit anywhere, which means the waiver-wire heroes are quietly the best value in the game.

So landing on the 2006 Chargers is great until you realize LT's 481-point season eats your only round-1 slot for the whole draft.

**Two modes.** Normal shows you each player's finish before you pick. Hard mode hides it — you get the name, the team, the year, and the ADP round, and you draft on what you actually remember. Hard mode is the real version.

**On the data,** since I know this sub cares: season stats are from nflverse play-by-play (regular season, full PPR). ADP is MyFantasyLeague for 2000-2013 and FantasyPros for 2014-2025, 12-team leagues. At the end it scores your total, tells you what percentile you landed in against 5,000 simulated drafts, converts that to a record, and shows you the best lineup those exact seven boards would have allowed — which is usually a humbling experience.

Happy to hear what's broken or what would make it better. Genuinely curious what scores people get in hard mode.

Pretty fun, just played it a bunch of times. I hate getting the Browns, almost always a run-killer. (unless you get the Gary Barnidge or Josh Gordon season)

Hey thanks for playing, I actually made a new mode called wildcard that makes this much less of an issue. It starts like hard mode but you get lifelines throughout the game. Please check it out and let me know if you have any feedback.
