Only a $100 budget. For more context around league. It's definitely a know your league type of situation. Sorry for the long post
Going on Year 16
$100/budget
Start 1 QB, 2 RB, 3WR, 1 TE, K, D/ST and 7 bench spots
PPR
All players are able to be kept each year if fit within the budget prior to draft
Players price rise each year based total fantasy points scored the previous year (example CMAC kept at $33 last year, scored 391 fantasy points, $4 price increase - $37 to keep this year
Goal is to find cheap studs that can grow with your team for years before they become to expensive to keep
Alot of players are kept.
Bijan Robinson was the best available RB in auction last year and he went for $28 (McCaffrey is the highest priced player right now)
There are typically teams with lots of money to spend but not alot of studs available (mostly rookies)
Last year i drafted Goff for $1; which turned out to be a steal (i could keep him for $4 this year)
I came in 2nd last year
What i see as my options:
Go into draft with McCaffrey, Jacobs as starting RBs, AJ Brown, Waddle as WR1&2, with Singletary as my RB3 bench guy. $84 of 100 budget spent.
Hard to get a starting rb option for $3 (singletary)
Look to trade Waddle for a cheaper WR or TE option to free up some more cap going into draft
Don't keep McCaffrey and get back $37 of draft budget (this is the critical decision that steers the ultimate direction of the team for years)
Other guys on my bench that "could" be considered keepable at prices but i don't have enough budget
Drake London - $15
Gus Edwards - $7
Goff - $4
