Guys, Im in an auction league that has the usual scoring, (but with small bonuses for 100yd games and 40+YD TDS.) However, we run 1RB 3 WR 1 FLEX (RB or WR). Most guys start 2RBs, but there is an option of playing a 4th WR instead in the 2RB spot. So my question is: When studying pre-draft auction rankings, which our league tends to mirror fairly closely, where can I find an advantage for our format? Ive been thinking the way to go is to grab LT or someone very high at RB, then a risky but cheap RB#2 then grab as many draft bargains at #2/#3 WR as I can find - this is usally a good spot or value in our draft. And use these guys to cover the flex week to week if my cheap #2 RBs dont work out. Last year I tried this approach: i got Alexander for about $40 and Addai for about $5 - would have worked well except for Alexander going down. Anyways, thoughts on how to get an edge based on our system? As I said, guys in our league just draft as if its a 2RB 3WR league and mostly ignore the flex, so I thought I could find a foot up...

Hey, hoping i could get some feedback for my upcoming auction draft. we run an unusual lineup of: 1QB 1RB 3WR 1 RB/WR FLEX 1TE 1DE 1K <b>***thing is, when drafting, everyone in our league tends to treat it like we have a 2RB/ 3WR league, as is the standard.</b> we use an Auction draft ($100, 16 positions) and standard scoring with 2 point bonuses for 100 yard games and 40+ yd TDs Past drafts tend to follow general cheat sheet and projection rankings from the various sites, with RB expensive, and good bargains found at WR2 and WR3 <b>So, Im thinking of drafting 1 stud RB (Alexander etc) and 4 solid WRs... my reasoning being...</b> for $15-16 or so, i can get a larry fitzgerald/ torry holt type receiver for my flex, who average 12 + FP per game (the 100 yd and 40+ TD bonuses seem to favour the WRs a bit) for $15-16 i can get a jamal lewis, Brian Westbrook (if im lucky) or Julius Jones caliber back, who will probably get me 10 FP a game. (and consider eddie kennison avergaed 9 FP/G last season and i can prob get him for $$5) And since our league always always big bargains at WR2-3, i can 3 very solid WRs to round out my core. Plus, instead of spending $5-9 on a couple insurance backup RBs, i can just grab a few $2-3 WR2/WR3s as insurance for the flex position and WRs and handcuff alexander for a buck.... so my RB spending is extremely efficient. ANY THOUGHTS? bascially, the flex postion should make WRs a bit more valuable and RBs a bit less so, but no one in our league seems to follow that when auction drafting, so I see an opportunity to gain some value... Thanks!
