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.
