Overall Strategy:
Balanced approach
Evaluation
Haseley took a patient approach and waited awhile before securing his first winning bid. T.Y. Hilton was the 19th player auctioned and Haseley’s bid of $33 was enough to get it done. A potential Top 10 wide receiver at a reasonable price is always a good start. Haseley’s next two winning bids focused on the running back position with winning bids for Ameer Abdullah and C.J. Anderson at $27 and $42 respectively. Anderson was in the price range of other top running backs in this draft but he slightly overpaid for Abdullah. Melvin Gordon was secured for $22 a mere four picks later and is being drafted at a higher ADP in standard drafts. Gordon will be the RB1 in San Diego from day 1, while Abdullah will be part of a committee to start – although he may take over lead back duties as the season develops. Haseley balanced out the remainder of his roster and found some nice value. He secured the quarterback position with a potential Top 10 and a potential Top 15 for a total of $11. All in all a solid draft for Haseley, looks like he may have built a contender.
Below is what I try to stay close to in a $200 auction budget. If I like a WR1 for less (like TY Hilton), it affords me the ability to splurge a little more on my WR2, WR3 and WR4 - which is what happened in this auction.
Position | $200 Budget | ||
Running Back | RB1 No more than $45 | RB2 $20-27 | RB3, RB4, RB5 $15 |
Wide Receiver | WR1 No more than $45 | WR2 $20-25 | WR3, WR4, WR5 $15-20 |
Tight End | TE1 $10-14 | TE2 $1-5 | |
Quarterback | QB1 $8-13 | QB2 $1-4 | |
Kicker | K $1 | ||
Defense | Def $1 |
This auction occurred one night before the Jordy Nelson injury, so I didn't realize how valuable Davante Adams would be when I won him for $13. Looking back, I spent a little more than I wanted for him, because there was a slight bidding war for him as a later nomination. It looks like a good decision now. My wide receiver corps has three WR2s in Golden Tate ($16), Sammy Watkins ($12) and the aforementioned Adams ($13). I like the value of all three.

Overall Strategy:
Top 10 RB and WR
Evaluation
Hicks also waited patiently before securing the winning bid for his first player, Matt Forte, the 15th player auctioned for a winning bid of $38. His next two winning bids were also for running backs, Alfred Morris for $18 and Melvin Gordon for $22. The running back position locked down, Hicks was able to focus on balancing out his roster. He did make one more high-priced acquisition with the winning bid for Jordy Nelson (draft held prior to injury) at $41, a good price for a Top 5 wide receiver. Hicks did a nice job accumulating quarterbacks by securing the winning bids for three solid starters at a total cost of $15. His travels to the value section were largely fruitful, although I may have passed on Cordarelle Patterson at a price greater than $2. Looks like Hicks has built a solid team heading into 2015 and there are no glaring weaknesses.
1. Explain your strategy going into the auction
After the first staff Auction Mock Draft where I got 3 players within the first 7 or so names I decided to sit back this time, but I had to get one of my top 7 running backs and one of my top 7 wide receivers. I would hunt for value outside these 2 players and fill out the roster around the top 2 guys and the value players. The first 14 players were nominated, including most of the big names and then came Matt Forte, one of the 3 remaining running backs that would have satisfied my pre auction plan. I was prepared to go to $40 and got him at $38. Plan A achieved. The remaining top receivers went quickly except for my last one in Jordy Nelson. By now I had 3 running backs as Alfred Morris and Melvin Gordon went way below my price for them and I feel I got considerable value for my top 3 backs. Now I had to go all in to get Jordy Nelson, who was my 3rd rated receiver. His price was well within my expectations and the 2nd part of my main plan was achieved. Carlos Hyde was another value running back and with 4 of my top 16 backs I only had to spend 45% of my budget. Add in Jordy Nelson and I still had quite a bit of money to get my choice of the other positions.
2. You won Jordy Nelson with a $41 bid, the highest you spent on a player. His injury occurred one day after this took place. Explain what you would do to fill the void of a star player on your roster.
To anyone who has drafted already and has Jordy Nelson (or Kelvin Benjamin), I can sympathize. Unlike this auction, where I regret not spending an extra dollar or 2 to get Davante Adams, which was in my plans once I landed Nelson, you can recover from the loss of a key individual with hard work and a little bit of luck. For starters if a star player is lost you have to ask yourself who, if anyone can step in. Footballguys have a lot of What would happen if.... was lost for the season articles to help in this regard, but also other great articles like the Jordy Nelson article soon after his injury
Analyze the team dynamics of the player lost. Can the backup players be productive or will the work be spread around? In this case I feel that Davante Adams is the best bet, but a punt on Jeff Janis, Ty Mongomery or Jared Abbrederis wouldn't go astray either. Aaron Rodgers can make a star out of any young receiver if they are good enough. Apart from that be an early player on the waiver wire in the early weeks of the season. This is a very productive option to get a star or 2 that surprises everyone eg Justin Forsett last year. Another way would be to sacrifice a high draft pick to get 2 very good players. Hopefully you drafted with depth and have a player to cover eg the Jordy Nelson owner could have drafted Davante Adams or the Kelvin Benjamin owner could have drafted Devin Funchess. Or they could have a young receiver ready to break out deep in their draft. If you have a player that another owner really covets, you can use this to your advantage . Look at 2 players on their roster you can grab. Some owners almost give up after a big injury. If you work hard to make something happen, you'll be surprised at how quickly you can turn it around.
3. What part of the auction is most critical to your team's draft success? Beginning, Middle or End? Explain your answer.
Without sounding like a fence sitter, each part of the draft is equally important. In the Beginning of an auction everyone has lots of money and some are reckless with it. Everyone wants the star players, but you will always have owners that overpay in this phase and take too many players. One owner here was left to get 15 $1 players. The beginning is an excellent time to take advantage of owners that are reckless. As long as you like a player, if you see another owner who is quickly spending money, bid them up a dollar or 2. You'd be surprised how often they will keep bidding. The adrenaline is running.
The middle part of the draft is where you should be on top of your game. A few owners will have no money. Some owners will get cute and won't have spent a penny. Some owners with money are full at a position. This is where you can get great value. With half of the bidders out of action on any player, you can take advantage and get half your squad here. Have a set price for every player and if the value is there, grab them. You can never not have enough good players.
The end is also vital. By now half the owners are desperately trying to fill rosters with cheap players and a couple of owners have way too much money and will end up spending $13 on a kicker at the end. The rest are perfectly poised.
In this draft the following players went for $3 or less: - Colin Kaepernick, Jay Cutler, Sam Bradford, Tre Mason, Bishop Sankey, Alfred Blue, Anquan Boldin, Pierre Garcon, Dwayne Bowe, Kenny Stills, Kyle Rudolph and Antonio Gates. For $40 you could have had them all. Before you make your final big bid in the middle part of the draft analyze which players are left and decide if you want quality from 8 players or 1. The auction is the perfect format to have depth at all positions for a minimal price. Don't spend big early, get key players and pay attention to what the other drafters are doing.

Overall Strategy:
Stud WR and balance
Evaluation
Bitonti pounced on the consensus WR1 and then sat on the sidelines for a bit. A $47 bid was enough to secure the services of Antonio Brown. Bitonti took a value approach to running back and quarterback while nicely balancing out his collection of wide receivers with mid-range and low-cost options. At least one pick at each of the positions could turn out to be a steal at the prices paid. Phillip Rivers for $4, Tevin Coleman at $6 and Markus Wheaton at $1 are all in line to outperform their price points. Rivers has Top 10 quarterback upside, Coleman could end up with the bulk of the work in Atlanta and Wheaton – whether he winds up as WR2 or WR3 in Pittsburgh – should produce nicely in what figures to be a high-powered offense. A very balanced draft for Bitonti, if some of his bargain bin values come through he will be in contention.

Overall Strategy:
Conservative approach
Evaluation
Wimer took a conservative approach with only one high-priced acquisition – Demaryius Thomas at $41. He found some nice values that he didn’t have to overpay for in Russell Wilson at $17, Joseph Randle at $22 and Nelson Agholor at $13. Wimer also loaded up on tight end by winning the rights to two potential Top 5’s at the position in Greg Olsen at $19 and Martellus Bennett at $17. I see value in the approach Wimer took and admire the discipline it takes to pull off sound auction bankroll management. However, if I’m only going to walk away with one high-priced stud, it had better be one virtually guaranteed of a Top 5 finish at their position barring injury. Thomas certainly brings the history and potential to the table, but a change in offensive philosophy could cause his numbers to take a dip. I think we can still pencil him in for a Top 10 finish at receiver, would just feel more comfortable with this roster structure with more of a lock as my highest-priced player. Wimer will spend the season hoping that his value picks produce in a big way to remain competitive.
Sticking to your budget is the most challenging aspect of creating an auction team. It requires patience and a willingness to trust your ENTIRE set of projections/rankings as there are guaranteed to be players that you really, really like who will be bid up over the price that you have set for that person/that person's tier on your draft budget. It is critical to stick to your plan (whether it is studs-and-duds or dominate the middle portion of the bidding). If you get over-exuberant in chasing a particular player well beyond your budget, the rest of your team will suffer.
One example - back when Michael Vick was a hot fantasy commodity (he was/is a player I never cared to roster in any format) I would often nominate Vick early in an auction, in order to drain an opponent's bankroll. I find it useful to identify 5-8 high profile guys that I would never consider bidding for, and to then offer those guys early on in the auction when it is my turn to initiate bidding. When others overpay for shaky NFL talents, I win (in a relative sense).

Overall Strategy:
Stud QB and Top 5 RB
Evaluation
Hindery locked up his quarterback early and wasn’t afraid to spend to do so. Andrew Luck was the sixth player auctioned and Hindery’s bid of $31 got the job done. He picked his spots from this point, spending up for two high-level running backs in DeMarco Murray and Eddie Lacy while choosing a value approach at wide receiver. Amari Cooper should outperform his price point of $19, but I’m a little concerned about Emmanuel Sanders at $25. Sanders was money for the Broncos in 2014 but a change in offensive philosophy points to his numbers taking a dip. Add in the fact that he has yet to play in the preseason and may not be ready until Week 1 and the dollars may have been better spent elsewhere. Another area of concern is the depth at the running back. There are some backs with very high-upside potential in the mix here, but we’re talking about unproven quantities in James White, Cameron Artis-Payne and Duke Johnson. At least one should hit, but I’d be a little more comfortable with more of a veteran presence. Hindery is locked and loaded at quarterback and RB1 and RB2, but if disaster strikes at one of those positions he will be left scratching his head.

White, Kevin CHI WR | $1.00 |
Overall Strategy:
Balanced approach with strict money management
Evaluation
Simpkins was a conservative investor and the results could be a decent return on investment. His highest-priced player, Jeremy Hill, was secured with a winning bid of $32. Hill has a valid shot at a Top 10 RB season and was secured at a price less than Frank Gore ($36) and Lamar Miller ($33). At the running back position in total, Simpkins was able to lock up three potential Top 20 running backs without spending an arm and a leg. He was the winning bidder on a solid but unspectacular group of wide receivers and I’m a little concerned with his depth at the position. Simpkins will have to hope that Mike Wallace has a bounce-back season in Minnesota (I think he will) and Allen Robinson takes the proverbial leap forward. Simpkins took a volume approach to his backup running backs and has a potential steal in David Johnson at $4. Quarterbacks are locked and loaded with two Top 10 players at a total cost of $18. Overall, a solid draft but a little more depth at wide receiver as opposed to a boatload of running backs may have improved his chances.
1. Which player were you most determined to win? Explain why you like that player this year.
Much to the chagrin of Matt Harmon, I felt I had to walk away from this auction with Allen Robinson. Like most everyone else, I was initially cool on Robinson. Digging into his measurables and his situation over the offseason piqued my interest. What Robinson accomplished in his first year would have been far more impressive to the masses if it had not been overshadowed by the feats of the excellent 2014 rookie receiver class. A stress fracture in his foot prematurely ended his rookie campaign. It was the big a reason he became a forgotten man. What he’s been doing in camp and preseason action has rekindled the buzz. Bortles and the offense steadily continue to improve, and the addition of T.J. Yeldon will only help matters. I see all the signs of a breakout coming for the young Jaguar. I may have overpaid for him slightly at $21, but if you truly believe in a player, you need to be willing to spend a few extra dollars to make sure you get him. That was certainly my mindset in acquiring Robinson.
2. What strategy do you like to use in an auction? Is there one rule that always follow?
Auctions are like snowflakes in that every one is different from the next. You can put the same group of people in two auctions and each draft will have a different flow and complexion. Knowing this, I tend to preach being flexible. If I see that the majority of owners are being tight with their money early on, I may be inclined to loosen the purse strings and spend before things get more competitive later. If I see that most players are blowing cash left and right early, I tend to hold my money because I know there will be values later when my fellow participants don’t have enough cash left to challenge my bids.
The one rule that I always follow for auctions is the same one Ra’s al Ghul gave Bruce Wayne in Batman Begins: “Mind your surroundings!” Keep tabs on how much money your opponents have and which positions they have already filled. Not being aware of these seemingly simple facts will leave you at a large disadvantage. Conversely, paying close attention will give you cues about what you need to do in the heat of the moment.
3. You won Arian Foster for $7. Explain why you think he's a good bargain this year.
I was not a fan of taking Foster at full price initially, but I believe that he’s a value now because of the overreaction of the fantasy community. Everything we are hearing now leads us to believe the timetable for Foster’s return might be sooner than was first expected. While that’s certainly good news, I’m encouraging owners to lower expectations a bit. If you can draft him as your fourth or fifth running back and only count on him for the second half of 2015, I don’t see how you can go wrong.

Osweiler, Brock DEN QB | $1.00 |
Sanchez, Mark PHI QB | $1.00 |
Overall Strategy:
Top TE and Top 10 WR
Evaluation
Tefertiller was not afraid to gamble while constructing his roster. He paid top dollar for the consensus top TE Rob Gronkowski and spent $1 each on four separate quarterbacks. Both Derek Carr and Jay Cutler have some potential for Top 15 seasons, Tefertiller will spend most of the year hoping that the gamble pays off. He secured LeSean McCoy and Todd Gurley at reasonable prices, but both head into 2015 with questionable injury situations. I’m comfortable taking a chance on one at the top of my depth chart, selecting both exposes you to a little too much risk. His collection of receivers consist of the Top 10-caliber Calvin Johnson, a WR2/3 in Martavis Bryant and several question marks. I’m concerned about the overall composition of his roster and think Tefertiller will struggle to compete.
The elite QBs went too high - in my opinion - at first, then the middle-of-the-road QBs went for more than I wanted to spend so I decided to wait it out and target quantity over quality. These four quarterbacks (Cutler, Carr, Osweiler, and Sanchez) all offer something different. Cutler was taken to be a low-end QB1. With Carr a middling QB2, I wanted Osweiler and Sanchez for upside. This is a little more risky than I usually desire, but am happy with the results. When I realized that I would not have strong QBs, I targets upside at RB/WR. I expect Osweiler and Sanchez to start multiple games each, offsetting some of this risk.
The tight end position is the only one where one player gives your team a decided advantage week-to-week. Gronkowski is healthy and primed for a strong 2015. The Jimmy Graham trade to Seattle only widened the gap between the pair of tight ends.
I really like the three running backs, Todd Gurley, LeSean McCoy, and Danny Woodhead given the prices paid for each. Yes, each comes with a warning label of injury, but each was a steal at the auction price. Gurley is now cleared to practice, making his $25 pricetag very reasonable. I targeted Tre Mason to offer insurance for Gurley early in the season. McCoy has been nicked up this training camp but is a star runner in a run-heavy offense. The price of $26 was low considering his ability and situation. McCoy just needs to get healthy. Fred Jackson was won late to provide a cheap handcuff. Lastly, Woodhead at $4 was my obvious player to outproduce his auction price. The diminutive back is an every-week RB2 for fantasy owners,and will benefit from rookie Melvin Gordon's learning curve.

Overall Strategy:
Balanced approach with strict money management
Evaluation
Parsons chose a balanced approach and spent his money wisely. He put together a nice collection of three wide receivers in the $30 range, all with Top 10 upside. Running back is an area of concern as his two lead backs, C.J. Spiller and Giovani Bernard, are not the primary ball carriers for their respective teams. Parsons loaded up on backs with PPR value, a good way to attack the position if you can’t secure a high-level player. His two quarterbacks were acquired for a total spend of $11. Bradford is particularly intriguing at $3, but we know all about his high propensity for injury. Overall, a solid draft for Parsons as he has nice depth at both running back and wide receiver. However, the lack of a true lead back may prove to be his downfall.

Bloom constructed a team with nice depth at running back and high-upside potential at wide receiver. Jamaal Charles was the third player up for auction. Bloom was able to secure him at a fair price of $44. Charles is the engine in Kansas City and has the potential to be the top overall running back in fantasy. Bloom may have slightly overpaid for Frank Gore at $36. His upside as the lead back in Indianapolis is well-documented, but I have concerns about a 32-year-old running back switching teams – historically not a good combination. Bloom put together a solid collection of wide receivers. I am most intrigued by Charles Johnson at $9. A lot of people are sleeping on the Vikings, if Bridgewater takes the proverbial leap forward and Adrian Peterson returns to do AP-like things – look out. Johnson could provide a very strong return at this price point. Bloom looks to have built a contender.

Evaluation
Harmon loaded up on wide receivers with three high-priced selections forming the core of his team. All three will be highly productive in their respective offenses. Harmon made two other high-priced acquisitions in running back Lamar Miller and tight end Travis Kelce. Those five winning bids essentially wiped out Harmon’s bankroll and he completed his roster with dollar store selections. The depth at running back is very concerning. Miller will produce, but outside of that he will be left hoping for a Terrence West breakthrough. Not a recipe for fantasy success. Harmon’s stud receivers can very well dominate and provide some nice points on a weekly basis, but what if one goes down to injury? How about if two of them go down? This team will struggle to keep its head above water in 2015.

Evaluation
Howe wasted little time building the core of his team, securing the winning bid for 3 of the first eleven players. He netted quite a haul for his efforts, securing a Top 2 QB in Aaron Rodgers and potential Top 5’s in Dez Bryant and Marshawn Lynch. Howe pulled the trigger on one more high-priced selection with a winning bid for Jordan Matthews at $29, the 18th player auctioned. The majority of his bankroll spent, Howe had to pick his spots wisely for the remainder of the draft. He may have slightly overpaid for Doug Martin at $12, but the need for a RB2 trumped bankroll management at this point. Howe shopped well in the bargain bin and secured a few potential high-return picks. Andre Williams, Greg Jennings and Richard Rodgers were all secured for $1 and offer decent upside for a low price. Overall, Howe was aggressive early but still able to build a relatively balanced team. There is potential weakness at RB, but that may be offset with a solid collection of WRs.

Overall Strategy:
Stud RBs and Value QBs
Evaluation
Waldman was very aggressive to start things off as he was the winning bidder on 4 of the first 8 players auctioned. But when you walk away with two Top 5 RBs in Le’Veon Bell and Adrian Peterson plus a Top 2 TE in Graham PLUS a potential Top 5 WR in A.J. Green – who can argue? From aggressive to patient, Waldman was also able to parlay two potential Top 5 QBs at reasonable prices. Ben Roethlisberger at $14 and Drew Brees at $10 can provide a tremendous return on investment at those prices. He spent the remainder of the draft bargain shopping with mixed results. The WR group looks particularly vulnerable, but Leonard Hankerson for $1, Marvin Jones at $3 and Cody Latimer at $2 do offer some nice upside and could turn out to be great value. Waldman has to hope that the strength at the top of his team is enough to offset the lack of depth. One or two key injuries could spell his demise.
I don't believe there is a perfect auction, but you can have near-perfect execution of a strategy in your auction. Drafts are only a part of the winning process of building a team. Although I have won big in leagues with great drafts or auctions that gave me a unit requiring little thinking or weekly work to maintain a championship squad, it's a rare occurrence. My idea of a "perfect" auction is about having a plan and getting most of the key players you wanted with that plan--regardless of the risk-level of your strategy.
I'll go either direction based on what I project the mood of the auction will be like, but I prefer studs and duds because I've had a lot of success with it. My strengths tend to lie with identifying late-round picks with high upside. When I can begin strong and win 4-7 studs for a 10-man starting lineup, it's hard to resist when you have confidence in identifying late depth. I'm also more likely to grab values off waivers equivalent to mid and late-round winning bids that my competition landed than they are going to land even one of the 4-5 studs I got. That's my hope. It doesn't always work out, but fantasy football is a game and it's exciting to play it with guts.
