Fantasy Football Auction Guide

Fantasy Football is upon us. Let's get ready for your Auction Draft.

There so many ways to play fantasy football, but my favorite is the auction draft.

If you have a league where you have an annual redraft, I wrote an article about some great value selections I like for this season.

I am in an auction draft with a $100 budget, but the rules are a bit different.

First of all, it's only 8 people. Yes, I am aware of how easy that makes it.

Second of all, it is a keeper league. We get up to three keepers every year, and can keep a player for a maximum of three seasons for the same amount we drafted them for.

And third, we have a practice squad. There is a rookie draft at the end where we select the remaining rookies who were not bid on, and stash them on the practice squad.

Also, tight ends do not matter. You don't need one.

For my guide below, it will be under the assumption this is a $100 budget, with an annual redraft. So you have $100 to go all out and win the championship this season. The lineup requires:

• 1 QB

• 2 RB

• 2 WR

• 1 TE

• 1 Flex

• 1 D/ST

• 1 Kicker

• 7 Bench

So here are 130 players, ranked by my personal value of them:

There are many more interesting guys who are draftable, all at a dollar price.

As I said, every league is different. But, especially if you are in a 10 man league or smaller, I highly suggest the strategy of being aggressive and spending on an elite fantasy player.

There are really hundreds of guys available for $2 or less that can fill your flex spot.

This is why I have QBs valued at a lower price.

Yes, Josh Allen is far and away the QB1. But if you can get Trevor Lawrence for $3, or Kyler Murray and Jared Goff for a combined $2, do that, and spent the extra $7 or so on a good WR2!

That's my strategy, anyways. Do as you wish. Just know that, in a 10 or less man league, you can build a great team with 8 roster spots spent on $1 players.

Let me know your fantasy strategy this season, and how your auction league works!

Does my article need to be more detailed, or outline more things?
