FAAB DISCUSSION- Post your FAAB discussion and results here (1 Viewer)

[Deamon]

FAAB is great, but it's probably one of the most challenging parts of Fantasy. I have found it SUPER useful in the past, when others in here post the amount certain players went for, especially if yours haven't run yet. Of course it's unpredictable, but seeing what others are bidding on a player, and how much they went for, can sometimes take a bit of the guess work out of it.

So as long as your leaguemates aren't in this thread, what are you bidding on guys like Wilson, Samuel, etc?

Once your bids go through, please let us know what they ended up going for!

Yup my exact reaction.....

And the even more hilarious part - He was the only Bidder (Blind bidding), but our league is known for huge week 1 bids historically, so I guess he had to go big or go home..

Mainly redraft ya. Robbie only $1 hey?

 

[efactor]

$502 for Wilson (out of $1000). I went heavy on Wilson because my RB2 is weak (Montgomery and Penny) but the rest of my team is really strong, so shouldn't need the waiver wire that much during the year. Next bid was $425

Samuel went for $257

Mason $101

 

[grateful zed]

He went for 593 and 371 in my NFFC leagues. 12 team 20 players on roster.

 

[candian fantasy guy]

Got Samuel in 1 league for 33 of 1000.

Over my many leagues, the craziest things I’ve seen this morning are the big bids on OJ Howard. Bids of 150-250, I think that’s nuts FYI.

Otherwise, it was a fairly weak week 1 of waivers.

 

[zamboni]

Got Samuel in 1 league for 33 of 1000.

3.3% is a pretty good, modest price for Samuel - well done.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

In my 10-team Superflex PPR, Jeff Wilson went for 77% (!) of FAAB.

Next highest was Rex Burkhead (12%, to me)

 

[zamboni]

In my 10-team Superflex PPR, Jeff Wilson went for 77% (!) of FAAB.

Reminds me of the Godfather line: "Oh Paulie, won't see him no more."

That's a great get. In 2 of my ffpc leagues he went for right around 25%.


FWIW - Wentz went for 5.5 - 6.6%

 

[Atomic Punk]

The craziest in my leagues was Winston going for $95 ($100 FAAB) in a start 1QB dynasty league. Wentz, Mariota and Geno are all still on the waiver wire. Other than that Duvernay went for $28 and $11 in two leagues.

 

[smbkrypt24]

$200 FAAB. Players of interest
League 1:
C. Samuel $75
Tay Hill $72
Warren $37
L. Thomas $25
Tonayn $15
Phillips $11

League 2:
Phillips $17
Duvernay $7

League 3:
Tay Hill $68
OJ Howard $31
L. Thomas $13
Tonyan $11
Phillips $1

 

[efactor]

14 Team league: $100 budget

Duveney: $25
Hilliard: $25
Wentz $15 (Dak owner)
Mason $7
Phillips $7

Guy who picked up Phillips dropped Collins. Thought that was a big overreaction to week 1.

 

[menobrown]

I'm in to many leagues to list my bids. Summary version is I was wildly outbid on Curtis Samuel, bought no where. Bought a ton of Carson Wentz.

The FFPC Footballguys tournament featured these notable average winning bids(teams start with $1,000):

Curtis Samuel, bought in 529 leagues with an average of exactly $300.

Carson Wentz, by a total of 813 to 812, edged Kyle Phillps for most added player.

 

[jdoggydogg]

Here's one:

My son nabbed Curtis Samuel for $4 out of a $100 FAB. My other league? One owner paid $40 for Curtis Samuel and $30 for Robbie Anderson. Keep in mind that whatever you pay for a free agent in this league allows you to keep him for next year.

 

[da_budman]

our first year doing faab 12 team redraft league ($200 for the year) brought some interesting results...apparently people arent valuing rb's now after hording them to the extreme when we used a tumbler order....somebody dropped Kalil Herbert and I got him for $32 (next highest bid 4 bucks) Somebody got Burkhead for $1....other winning bids of note were:


Wentz $10

Samuels $21
Duvernay $15
Dotson $35
R Anderson $25

Tayson Hill $19
Everett $11

 

[Insein]

$1000 FAAB for the year

Burkhead $30
Packers $15
Robby Anderson $11
Taysom Hill $202
Logan Thomas $11
Wentz $10
J. Warren $22
Curtis Samuel $201
Duvernay $100

Same guy got Hill and Samuel. So spent 40% of his FAAB in week 1.

Good info.
Is this data (data for entire contest) linked on the league pages? I looked on both main event and fbg league pages and don't see where I can access this.

Where did Samuel come in at?

Went for $14 (5 bids) in our league

Highest bid was $15 for Burkhead

 

[Nick Vermeil]

Samuel went for $17 in my $100 FAAB 12 team ppr. He dropped James Cook, I'm bidding $4 to get him off waivers.

16 and 22 for Samuel in mine. I did 15 in both leagues and lost out on him. Ah well.

Edit - I should have kept reading. Meno got it covered.

 

[zamboni]

Ran yesterday afternoon ($200 FAAB budget):

Wilson, Jeffery SFO RB for $37.00
Peoples-Jones, Donovan CLE WR for $16.00
Hill, Taysom NOS TE for $14.00

Mariota, Marcus ATL QB for $8.00
Carter, DeAndre LAC WR for $7.00
Mason, Jordan SFO RB for $6.00
Watson, Christian GBP WR for $5.00
McKinnon, Jerick KCC RB for $5.00
Smith, Geno SEA QB for $3.00

 

[Deamon]

So how much are people bidding on Herbert if he's available?

 

[titusbramble]

So how much are people bidding on Herbert if he's available?

As the Montgomery owner in the only league I'm in where he's available I'm bidding all but $1 I have to use

 

[zamboni]

So how much are people bidding on Herbert if he's available?

He's not available in my league, but if he were, I would bid as much as possible - this opportunity may be as good as it gets this year with FAAB.

 

[Deamon]

He's not in mine, but in a friend's league he is and he's wondering what to spend. Probably will recommend he blow it all, I dont know.

 

[Mongidig]

I’m wondering what to spend on Doubs. I’m in a deep league and am shocked to see someone released him. I am WR needy. It seems the days of a robust waiver wire for the first few weeks are over.

 

[Mongidig]

How much are the Packers D worth? They have NE, Giants, and Jets the next three games at home and the Washington on the road. I went all in the Charger defense and it’s crushing my otherwise strong team. Just curious, what’s the most you’ve ever seen a defense go for?

We just switched to FAAB this year, and in week 1, one team bid 7% for the Steelers defense.

I've made a vow to never use FAAB on a defense unless it's the end of the year and I need to use it or lose it.

2%. Someone else will bid 1. 3 is a bit much.

That's about what I was thinking. I currently have 271 bid in. You never know. It may be way too much or somebody comes in with a 350 bid.

12 team 20 round draft. Ten bench spots.

Guy's like Josh Reynolds, Richie James, Ashton Dulin are what's left out there.

Ah ya, 271 (im assuming of 1k) seems right..... I might even go as high as 326

12 team- 15 player redraft, ppr with other bonuses, $100 total FAAB for the season
Dropped Darnell Mooney for Romeo Doubs ($19)- me
Dropped Raheem Mostert for Chris Olave ($17)
Dropped Sterling Shepard for Greg Dortch ($8)- me
Dropped Tyrion Davis-Price for Samaje Perine ($5)

 

[Insein]

Trying to get ahead by a week to get Dak as my backup to Brady (and probably just stream with him). Hoping to sneak him for cheap but worries someone else might have the same idea. Don't want to pay too much though. Going with $32 ($1000). Hoping that's enough to sneak by everyone trying to grab him for single digits.
