It does suck sitting around for a while for others to spend their money. Here is my final squad. QB Aaron Rodgers, Kirk Cousins RB McCaffery, White, Brieda, Murray, Darwin WR OBJ, Juju, Hardman, Desean Hamilton, Keesean Johnson, N'Keal Harry TE Andrews, Hockensen (likely dropping one of them for Goedert) some IDP players all for $1. Pretty much I got the three studs and Rodgers and the rest was scraping together 3 and 4$ players. I wish I wouldn't have spent the money on JuJu and split that between RB2 and WR2. I could have had something like Diggs and Mack for a similar price to JuJu and White which I think would be a better combo. What did you spend on each of your 3 big guys?

Spent 75% on three players, McCaffery, Conner, and Cook right off the bat. My strategy is to go hard on the RBs. I think the WR depth is good enough to find some viable options. Teams are using more 3 and 4 WR sets. This and $1.50 will get you a cup of coffee at 7-11. Was it really $150 of your $200 budget? If so i feel like you actually got good value Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaguarCrazy2832 Posted August 29, 2019 Author Share Posted August 29, 2019 Do you think an auction draft is more about putting together the best starting lineup possible? Like moreso than a standard snake draft league? i feel like if i go in to an auction draft with the idea that I’ll spend $4 on 2 QBs, 1 DST and 1 K then say another $4-5 on 4-5 bench spots that leaves me with 191-192 for 7-8 players and with that i can construct a great team 3 RBs, 3 WRs and a TE for $192 seems like it yields a much better team A huge part of that is the waiver wire is so different too. Priority means nothing, its how bad do you want someone so you can have only 2-3 decent bench options after the draft and spend huge on a high priced FA Thoughts?

I think I would adjust and plan to spend the majority of my funds on 5 or 6 players. TE I don't spend on unless its Kelce or Ertz. Other than that you can get a solid TE and one with potential for $1 or $2. QB is similar, if you don't get top 3, spend $4 on one. I would have liked to spread out my funds on JuJu a little better because it would give me a better starting lineup. Then I just go for potential on the rest. I don't like spending too much on guys with low ceilings so I risk it with a lower floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m fine with getting 5 players for $175 but 3 for &160+ makes it tough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like the idea of getting a Top-3 TE but the drop off is interesting as well because the $25+ could go a long way elsewhere. Yea i said 7-8 guys for $192 but honestly 1-2 of those players would likely be $1-2 each, maybe $4-5 for a high level backup and it still leaves ~$180 for 5-6 guys which seems like plenty. I dont love the update ESPN did, raised up costs on some of my favorite sleeper options based on cost given a few days ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also i kind of like throwing out DST/Kickers just to see if someone gets suckered in to spending more than $1...like I’ll take the Bears DST for $1 but not more so whoever puts them up wont get a bid from me. I think putting guys you love early is way too dangerous Bears D/ST went for $6 in my draft last night... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikeManDan Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I got DJ ($46), Mixon ($44), and Michael Thomas ($45) as my big 3. I'm a little worried about RB depth. Full-point PPR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think putting guys you love early is way too dangerous Basically what I was doing when it was my turn to nominate. If you don't utilize the online auction drafts like we didn't, make sure you keep track of what the max bid of the other teams are. Towards the end, I nominated players I wanted for a buck too early.

Thats not ideal especially since i expect Sanders to start slow but Murray could be good for 5-6 a game on bad games where he doesnt score which isnt awful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And thats all fine and good, just means i can get a solid DST for $1 and that guy wont be able to outbid me later for the few depth guys im hoping to snag late for $1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaguarCrazy2832 Posted August 30, 2019 Author Share Posted August 30, 2019 Is it shady in auction drafts to up the bid so drastically that guys frantically pressing the bid button thinking its going from $6 to $7 really could be bidding $50? Like we all know someone will nominate CMC for $1 and it increases by $1 with every bid but i like to throw out high bids to catch people sleeping. I dont do it with guys i dont love because there’s the off chance that no one else bids but it’s something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
