Dynasty Auction Values - how do you come up with them? (1 Viewer)

[jswalker1981]

I've inputted all my league info into DD and it comes out with a value, but since I can't tell it that it is a dynasty league, older players are priced too high.

I've thought about putting the values next to dynasty rankings. For example, the #1 RB $ value would be assigned to the #1 dynasty RB (Adrian Peterson's $ value would be assigned to Doug Martin). Is this a good way of doing this? Is there a better strategy?

I think it's smart to assign the values to the slots (#1 rb, #2 rb, etc.) and then just put the players in the order you rank them. If you think Jamal Charles will be the second best fantasy back this year and you see that slot as a $75 value, then you'll know if you're over or under paying for him when the auction rolls around.

I don't have a scientific approach, but I use VBD principles over a 4 year time span, with my estimation of improvement /decline (future years discounted at 50 percent). I have a range of values I calculate - my 'price enforcer' value that I'll bid a guy up to and be happy to land more cheaply, and my max value that I absolutely won't exceed.

I do pretty much the same thing. If I'm looking for an RB2, I'll allocate a certain cap number to fill that spot, then rank the players I would be willing to pay that amount for. If players are going for more and I'm missing out, I'll bite the bullet and overpay for a player if that's what they're going for.

Thanks guys. I'm glad I am on the right track.
