Is it fair to have the top picks go to teams that are no longer being managed by humans or being managed by a computer?

For example, in my league, at least 4-5 teams out of 16 are managed on a regular basis by someone with a heartbeat, the rest are teams that were abandoned back in late January/early February; and these are the teams with the worst records in the league and are in position to take the top picks, even one of the last playoff teams were abandoned because a day or two after being eliminated from the playoffs, he became a different team. Is this fair to the players that maintain their teams, to see potentially good players gets drafted to an abandoned ship that has sunk? Is there a way to monitor and stop this from happening before the draft?

id rather the picks go to computer managed teams! :)

Bot teams draft randomly, and so there is more chance that they will pick a random player than any player of real value. Although the chances are higher it is not necessarily always the case.

If a human player got to pick last and scouted 40K a week, there is a chance that they could get the best player in the draft and also a chance they get their second preference too, the second best player in the draft.

you see?

Yeah i agree managers in leagues with a lot of bots already get an advantage because they have less people ranking players so have a higher chance of getting the players they want.
