Man- I think that I would keep Richardson. I think he is easily a top 5 QB this year- barring injury.
that's a big leap considering his frame and playing style- and his public statement of having no intentions of making any adjustments

I can't fault you for keeping White or Rice, but I think I would go with Pittman. I feel like he would be the safest value for you.

Draft day is here, leaning Z.White for a buck as of today, with plans to spend ~75% of budget on another RB and 2 WRs... thoughts?

Auction is by far my worst drafting format

Hate auctions, but totally understand why some love them.

I don't care what team they play for, a starting RB, who is more than likely to be utilized at least twice as much as any other RB on the roster, and is the goaline back to boot...for a dollar? He'll I'd pay double :)

Hard to blame ya. I still think a $2 QB with potential to be a top ten (maybe five) guy should be considered.

Love auctions but it is the hardest drafting format but the most fun hands down. Good luck!

Thinking I can get Richardson back for around $10-15 if I'm wanting him. based on how this league has drafted QB in the past, the few guys that are willing to spend big at QB spend it on Allen Mahomes Hurts, so the rest of the QBs go relatively cheap, comparatively

I either love to hate them or hate to love them. The cheap ass in me loves the idea of getting good players at a value, but also pains me to overpay, which seems to be necessary for at least 1 stud

I love auctions... they are the most fair, and most strategic...

problem with them is that they have to be live and in person, and they take forever...

sure the fantasy sites have tried to make it on line capable... but you need all the owners to be really into it, otherwise it will backfire terribly... I mean, how often in snake drafts do you see people use auto draft... auto draft ruins auctions...

Just to screw with ya, I'd take the $2 QB in hand, and have more to spend on better RBs than a Raiders "workhorse".

LJax $10, Goff $3
ZWhite $1, Jacobs $36, Najee $17, BIrving $1, TTracy $1
G.Wilson $55, Evans $32, Godwin $15, ZFlowers $9
Engram $12, Ferguson $5, Hockenson $2
Cincy D $1

Co-manager always slides one fuck up in each auction ~$15-20, this year was Godwin for 15 when we already had Evans, bidding was at 10 when he did it. Last year he took Dalvin Cook for 16, thinking Breece would take a few months to recover fully.

High-end RBs/WRs were going in the 65-75 range, good to know for next year.

Got major bargain on the ravens stack, $19 total for LJax and Flowers. Planning to slide Hock into IR and pickup Brandin Cooks or another WR that's available

I am all in for overpaying for players in auctions... especially football... I am a stars and scrubs type of guy...

Yeah, but in this case you can get a WR2 for the price of a scrub.

And pay up for an extra star at the auction.

Barkley would be a terrible investment given the other options. Can probably buy him back for similar.

Rashee Rice at $1 is my choice

Not sure.

Worry about Richardson supporting WRs consistently.

I think Rice at $1 is the best choice.

I would draft Rice over Pittman

Slow auctions actually work really well too if you have enough time.

Multiple players can be up for bid at a time, and you set the bid clock at like 12 hours.

If nobody outbids you in a 12 hour span the player is yours.
