    Since only Frozenbeernuts really attempted to answer your question... (the OP isn't asking for general auction strategy... he's done auction for years and is asking about THIS year...)

     

    I'll say try using fantasypro's projections inside their auction calculator as a starting point: https://www.fantasypros.com/nfl/auction-values/calculator.php

    It says its based on starting 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE. Adjust prices if needed based on your league's lineup requirements and your own personal rankings. Or find some other calculators out there since they'll have to have current year projections built into them somehow.

     

    If the auction starts and players are going for prices waaaaaay different than your values... start gobbling up all your best value differentials.

    If players are going for the prices you projected... then obviously you need to pick the guys you just really like/want.

     

    Thank you for clarifying. I've been doing auction for several years. Previously I have always felt very confident but not this year. Where did you see it say that it is based on starting 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE. My league uses a flex (WR, RB, and TE) rather than a third WR so I would place an even greater value on the RB position.

    I have no idea what to do this year. The past few weeks I have been preparing for my league's auction draft. This year seems far more difficult than in previous years. We only have a couple of players who are unquestionable work horses like Elliott and Gurley. Afterwards every player has question marks and some are going for crazy values like Barkley (0 NFL snaps), D. Johnson (Coming off an Injury Year), etc. This year their is huge parity. I am in a 10 team league and there is plenty of depth at WR and QB this year.

     

    I'm totally lost with what to do? I'm leaning towards splurging on RB but I hate how injury prone they are. What are other people thinking about doing this year?

    I need to pick 2 RBs. My choices are Matt Forte (against Seattle with Kam back), CJ Anderson (bum so far but good matchup), and Jonathan Stewart (Average RB but the Saints suck). I have concerns about all three in parenthesis and can't make up my mind. Who would you pick and why?

    Alright it's the first round of the playoffs I have a plethora of running backs. Alfred Morris, Ben Tate, Zac Stacy, Toby Gerhart, and Montee Ball. I'm debating who to start.

     

    Alfred Morris is going against the Falcons. Kirk Cousins is starting. The last two games he has gone for 31 yards and 0 receiving last game and 26 yards, a TD, and 27 yards receiving. The Falcons gave up 112 yards rushing last week and 193 yards the week before.

     

    Ben Tate is going against the Colts. The last two games he has gone for 53 yards, 0 TD, and 3 yards receiving and 102 yards, 3 TD, and 0 receiving. The Colts gave up 155 yards rushing last week and 162 the week before.

     

    Zac Stacy is going against the Saints. The last two games he has gone for 25 yards, TD, and 3 yards receiving and 72 yards, 0 TD, and -1 yards receiving. The Saints gave up 128 yards rushing last week and 127 the week before.

     

    Toby Gerhart is going against the Eagles. The last two games he has gone for 89 yards and a TD and basically nothing. The Eagles gave up 80 yards rushing last week and 90 yards the week before.

     

    Montee Ball is going against the Chargers. The last two games he has gone for 77 yards, TD, and 11 yards receiving and 117 yards and 4 yards receiving. The Chargers gave up 92 yards last week and 164 yards the week before.

     

    I think I have plenty of options. Who should I pick?

    I have a trade offer that includes Vincent Jackson. He would be my fourth best receiver and just a filler for bye weeks going forward. What is everyone's opinion of him going forward giving the cluster in Tampa?

    Is Gerhart still worth owning?

     

    It's clear AP is back and will only get stronger over the season. The team didn't seem willing to give Gerhart carries. I want to add McCluster when he comes off waivers and think Gerhart is my least valuable player.

    So, I joined a yahoo free auction league so that I can try out a strategy a coworker told me about. The strategy was to only draft players with a week 7 bye. You basically give up a loss on week 7 but you are always at full strength when other people are dealing with bye weeks.

     

    Long story short someone else had the exact same strategy and it was a major fail for both of us. McCoy went of 57, Julio Jones for 44, and Gates for 30 just to name a few. Both of our teams are terrible since all of our money was lost in our first several pissing matches.

     

    My question is, has anyone else tried this strategy? If so what do you think about it, was it successful? On paper it looks like it could be very strong.

     

    QB - Matt Ryan 15

    WR - Julio Jones 32

    WR - Roddy White 32

    WR - Demaryius Thomas 22

    RB - Lesean McCoy 50

    RB - Michael Turner 20

    TE - Antonio Gates 20

    K - Prater 1

    D - Denver 1

     

    Then complete the team with fillers. Other possibilities include Ryan Mathews, P. Manning, Phillip Rivers, Jamal Charles, Peyton Hillis, Reggie Bush, Tony Gonzalez, Eric Decker, Desean Jackson, Jeremy Maclin, and Dwayne Bowe.

     

    You could build a very strong team if no one gets hurt.
