Slow Drafting with Team Builder
Best Ball slow drafts can run for days or even weeks from start to finish. That window creates a different kind of drafting experience, and Team Builder has a few features that are worth knowing about if you run them.
Saving active drafts
You can save a draft at any point, not just when it is complete. The moment you save, your portfolio updates across the Team Builder and Portfolio Manager, including any other slow drafts you have running at the same time.
💡 Tip: Press Ctrl+S to save quickly.
Because you can save at any point, you can also use this to simulate a pick before committing to it in your Underdog draft room. Save the player you are considering and see exactly how it affects your exposures and combinations across your portfolio, then decide.
If you prefer to see completed teams only, you can turn this off on your Manage Teams page.
Seeing your combinations across concurrent drafts
Say you have two slow drafts running at the same time and you took Jahmyr Gibbs early in both. Call them Team A and Team B. Team A is further along and you have already saved it several times as you built it out. Team B is newer and you are still in the early rounds.
When you open Team B and look at the combinations panel for Gibbs, you will see the players you have already paired with him on Team A. Team A is not finished yet, but because you saved it, it is already part of the picture.
This means you can see in real time whether your concurrent slow drafts are starting to look too similar, before either of them is complete. As you save more picks on Team B, it will update what you see on Team A in the same way. Each save refreshes the view across all your active builds, not just the teams already in your completed portfolio.
ADP trends over a long draft window
Slow drafts can stretch across a week or two, and player values shift during that time. Team Builder updates ADP trend data daily so you always see current movement, not the snapshot from when your draft started.
This matters in slow drafts because your next pick might be a day away. If you have a player you are targeting, knowing how much ADP ground he has gained or lost over the last week helps you weigh the risk of reaching against the risk of waiting too long.
