No, because snake drafts are for beginners who need a more level playing field, and Axe Elf has advanced to the point where he no longer participates in them. But yes, I thought Henry would be the best fantasy RB to own in 2020, and from Week 10 on, for the playoff run, he has been (though he's only #2 in standard and #3 in PPR for the whole season; he's a second-halfer).

Yeah, we all see what you do in auctions.....LOL! You really do fit the jester profile. JesterElf has a nice ring to it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They do everything they can to level the playing field across all 32 teams to maintain some semblance of parity. If they did an auction draft in the NFL, savvy teams, much like Axe Elf, would dominate the drafts, and thus, the league, for decades on end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully you were taking notes and will be able to replicate Axe Elf's strategy of drafting the best team yourself next year... ...Or whatever year you graduate to auction drafts.

Ray_T 587 Posted December 18, 2020 Hey guys Cut the guy A break. considering how deep the draft was, he did play the right draft strategy. I firmly believe that. If he wouldnt have had QB injuries, he most definitely would have been a playoff team. I dont know that he would have won the league, but i would have guessed he would have (at the very least) made it to the second round of said playoff bracket. dude had some really bad luck on the injury front and that happens sometimes. considering the injury situation I think his team performed better than expected. Mostly due to the depth on his team. Most people who play no QB for a couple of games like he did are unable to recover. I'll give him full cudos for not giving up and cudos for almost making it. keep in mind when you have a draft this with this many teams, all the teams have flaws. There is no way around that. either way, thanks for posting your week by week summary. despite the unfriendly banter I thought it was an interesting read.

Hardcore troubadour 12,592 Posted December 18, 2020 I enjoyed it as well. It’s too bad people like that Posty guy have to come in here and add nothing. They’ll never put their team up to be dissected. Kudos Ax. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AxeElf 787 Posted December 21, 2020 Woulda lost to the Derrick Henry team in the seminfinals anyway... He scored 125 points and also had Hopkins, Ahmed and Diggs. Ironically, though, the Derrick Henry team is going to lose to the team I was looking to replace in the playoffs, assuming that Juju scores at least 0.1 points tonight. That team has 125 points so far on the strength of Mayfield, Cook, Waller, and Marvin Jones. So it's looking like the #8 seed will play in the Championship game against the #6 seed (and I would have been playing in the 3rd-place game against the #2 seed).
