What is a Drone? A Drone is a person who signs up for a fantasy football league. Misses the draft, fixes his lineup once and is never heard from again. This is the problem with joining public leagues you never know what type of group you are going to get. Anyone truly serious is going to join a league that is private and run by a living commissioner. Now I’m one to talk as I go into drone mode after the first half of the season leaves me with a 1 and 7 record, but like I always say, “DON’T BE ME! I’m really not that great.”
If you create a league and someone joins to float idly by like a manatee there are only so many things you can do. You could kick them out, but single season leagues have no appeal for those joining part-way through. You could hound them to get them active, but this might alienate them further. The most subtle way of keeping the league active is by creating content for people to read. I do power rankings, articles and league roundups. This at least gets more people to check the message board.
If you are a drone, rock on, because you are mindlessly supporting Yahoo, ESPN, or whomever’s advertising revenue by signing up for fantasy in the first place. Way to support “The Man!”
