A lot of fantasy talk on here but I don't see a lot about auction drafts. Auction is absolutely the way to draft in my opinion. I have tried to get down to only two leagues and I do not miss the redraft format at all. I feel as though you're not a slave to your draft position and you can construct your team how you see fit.
How do people here that do auction approach it? Stars and scrubs? zero rb? spread the wealth? My league is 14 teams and talent is spread thin. Last year I got burned by have Freeman as my RB 1 and i"m convinced this year that I have to spend big for one of the big 3 (saquon, kamara, CMC). I realize that being too rigid can backfire, but i think having a bellcow RB is a must. Curious what other auction enthusiasts do.
Speaking of which, I'm kind of bullish on Devonta this year. Seems like a great bounceback candidate. Thoughts?
The biggest question to me is putting a price on Gurley. I think everyone is collectively way too low on him to the point where a double bell cow option is viable.

I will swoop on Gurley if the price is right. I've established myself as one of the few guys who bid players up just to fuck with people, so sometimes I get bargains out of that. I'm not letting anyone get Gurley for cheap, although I am a bit wary about the injury and how he looked in the playoffs.

I'm with you on paying big for cmc or saquon. I'm willing to spend 35-40% of my budget on one of the stud rbs. My friend is the Falcons beat writer for the Athletic and he's bullish on Freeman. He says Koetter loves the screen game and Freeman will be a big part of that. I got burned by him last year with the injuries but if he can be had at a bargin i'm alright pairing him with a Saquon and getting some higher upside rbs for cheap
I think another thing will not be to overspend on TE - don't think Ertz can duplicate last year and the second level guys present a lot more value in PPR.
