If you have done an Auction Draft, what prices are you seeing for the Top Players?

Each draft is different, but this may help get an idea. Thx.

 
Here is my roster with prices from a Phenoms auction I was in last night.

QB Cam Newton 23
RB Lamar Miller 20
RB Ryan Mathews 9
WR A.J. Green 42
WR Jordy Nelson 15
WR Julio Jones 42
TE Jason Witten 21
FLEX Mike Williams 10
D/ST Patriots D/ST 2
K Sebastian Janikowski 1
BE Jonathan Stewart 2
BE Tyler Eifert 2
BE Zac Stacy 2
BE Percy Harvin 3
BE Michael Crabtree 2
BE Keenan Allen 1
BE Andy Dalton 2
BE Josh Boyce 1
Total: 200

 
And another from last Monday. If there are specific players you want I can try and find them. Both leagues were PPR with .5 PPR for RB

QB Eli Manning 9
RB Rashard Mendenhall 9
RB David Wilson 23
WR Dez Bryant 36
WR Hakeem Nicks 18
WR Tavon Austin 10
TE Jimmy Graham 34
FLEX Maurice Jones-Drew 23
D/ST Buccaneers D/ST 1
K David Akers 1
BE Russell Wilson 13
BE Ahmad Bradshaw 11
BE Kyle Rudolph 5
BE Justin Blackmon 2
BE DeAndre Hopkins 2
BE Keenan Allen 1
BE Percy Harvin 1
BE Michael Crabtree 1
Total: 200

You don't want prices, you want % of cap.

Still a ton of other variables to factor in but I'm shocked at all the auction prices people post on the internet and sometimes don't even post what cap # those $ amounts are based on.

Curious what the top 10ish RBs are going for in the Phenoms auctions. Got a 14 teamer there later in the month. How was drafting on ESPN too? I've done a couple mocktions over there and it really moves fast... no breaks.

 
It is definitely fast. Spiller was hightest at 56 out of 200 and then down to 42 for Lynch, most of the other big names were in between there.

 
With prices, it really is a matter of when they get put up. You can get the first couple put out for a reasonable price, but once only one or two of that top tier is left, every owner who still wants a top tier RB will be bidding against one another, and the prices will escalate. As an example, in an auction last week, Spiller and Richardson both went for around $5 (56-58 bucks) more than both AP and Charles (low 50s). But had Spiller and Richardson been the first two RBs put up, they likely go for less, and the high bidding wars would have been on Charles and AP.

 
Auctions are a completely different animal. Due to the swings in cap remaining and the randomness of when the best players come out, the dollars spent don't necessarily jive with what the draft positions would be for that same league if they were just doing a standard snake draft.

In my auction league, the bidding is hot and heavy early and then dies down dramatically. Any good players left after about round four are usually heavily discounted. But if you try to hoard cash and wait too long you will find yourself with a bunch of 3rd-6th round talent, instead of the blue chip guys.

Our league has been around for over a decade and in that time, I've seen this phenomenon only increase. Every league will be different in this regard, but for mine, you can basically chart out the first three rounds of a hypothetical snake draft and expect 50+% of the total league cap to go to the first two rounds and 75%+ to the first four. It's madness and if you want blue chip players you are forced to follow suit.

 
I get that in any given auction, a player can have more or less value based on when they are nominated. But these are averages over many auctions. I think they are a better representation of when a player should be drafted in a redraft league than ADP. ADP often serves as a guide which cause people to follow adp. Thus it reinforces itself. Auction values give you a better idea of the players worth according to what people are willing to spend.

 
I'm new to auction drafts this year. Any good expert auction drafts (mock or otherwise) auctions where people post their commentary afterwards? I see tons of expert serpentine drafts posted every year, but I've never come across any good expert auction drafts.

 
We are in the 17th year of our league. 6 or 7 as an Auction Draft. All auctions are different but seeing what others are paying will help get an idea.

I remember Larry Johnson and Tomlinson going for over $100!

 
Here are the results of an auction I did last night. 10 teams, $250 cap. 6 pts all TDs, 1 for 10 rush/rec, 1 for 20 pass, NO PPR

It seemed like early in the draft, players went for way more than I anticipated. And then late in the draft, there was steal after steal (unfortunately, I was near tapped out).

Would love to hear which teams you think came away the best.

This is the crux of trying to use a preset value for players.

If you don't go get studs because you think the league is over paying, you will be left kicking ### on "steals" in the middle and end of draft on B and C and D players.

I made sure I got some studs. Ended up overpaying for all of my WRs. One guy is starting 3 of:12.06 Vincent Brown SD/8 3

The rest of his team is solid, but this is a gapping hole for him.

 
I always laugh at the people who spend 10+ on their backup QB at auctions. Unless it is a start 2 QB league, it is stupid as hell to do that. Look at what (Hulk) just posted. Why would anyone with a brain spend 22 on Romo after they just spent over 50 on Brees? :lol:

I always laugh at the people who spend 10+ on their backup QB at auctions. Unless it is a start 2 QB league, it is stupid as hell to do that. Look at what (Hulk) just posted. Why would anyone with a brain spend 22 on Romo after they just spent over 50 on Brees? :lol:
I got caught in that too. Was price enforcing on Eli and ended up with him @$12 pretty early on. Didn't want him as my QB1, so when I was able to get Stafford for $15, I was pretty happy with that. But then I realized they have the same buy, so I snagged Cutler for $1. Ugh. This kept me from getting a little more WR depth, which I really wish I had. I may try and trade for some, maybe I can get someone to bite on Eli?

Okay, I just realized you guys apparently do it with $250 to spend, so you spending $12 on Eli isn't totally awful (since you only spent $15 on Stafford); my comment about it being dumb to spend more than $10 on a backup applies more to those who spend $30+ on the big boys; if you are gonna spend that much on your starting QB, there is no reason to spend more than a dollar or two on your backup.. But in general, I avoid driving prices up on QBs like that if I already have my starter. I don't want to get stuck with an expensive backup QB. I'd rather someone else get a good deal on one than me get stuck with a 2nd like that and screw myself in making my team better. And considering how deep QBs are this year, no one is gonna trade for one unless their starter gets hurt.

 
It seemed like early in the draft, players went for way more than I anticipated. And then late in the draft, there was steal after steal (unfortunately, I was near tapped out).

Would love to hear which teams you think came away the best.
I like Rob, Jones, Adrian, and King

 
Just another data point, $200 12 team PPR start QB/2RB/3WR/TE/RWT Flex/DEF/K

1. (15) Larry Fitzgerald (Ari - WR) $34 2. (34) Dez Bryant (Dal - WR) $47 3. (40) Roddy White (Atl - WR) $31 4. (49) DeMarco Murray (Dal - RB) $21 5. (70) New England (NE - DEF) $1 6. (77) Andrew Luck (Ind - QB) $15 7. (82) Phil Dawson (SF - K) $1 8. (85) Shane Vereen (NE - RB) $15 9. (88) Rashard Mendenhall (Ari - RB) $7 10. (89) Andy Dalton (Cin - QB) $3 11. (113) Giovani Bernard (Cin - RB) $8 12. (121) Daryl Richardson (StL - RB) $8 13. (129) Vincent Brown (SD - WR) $5 14. (139) Jermichael Finley (GB - TE) $2 15. (153) Jordan Cameron (Cle - TE) $1 16. (163) Mohamed Sanu (Cin - WR) $1 If I had to do it over again, would have procured a better flex player. I am rethinking my budgeting and may budget $2/player for backups, K and DEF. Instead of $7 or $8 on Gio, DRich and Mendy, could have got one more solid player.

What I did notice is that you can walk out of an auction with pretty solid QBs and TEs for about 10% of your budget. And there were lots of quality players available in the end for $1-2 bucks, probably because of the smallish benches.

FWIW Megatron was $59, AJ Green was $46, DT $37, JJ $41, AJ $31, Marshall $43, Cruz $30

For RBs, Charles $57, ADP $72, Foster $56, Martin $64, Lynch $51, Spiller $57, Rice $56, CJ $36, McCoy $54, MJD $35, Bush $32, Morris $42, Ridley $30, Forte $38, SJax $36, Sproles $23

 
My auction was this past weekend, and was live. I'll post a few notable players that stuck out. If you have any questions about a specific player let me know. My brother and I kept nominating RB's out of the top 22 or so early, and I think it really influenced the auction in the end. Guys like Daryl Richardson and Le'Veon Bell were going for 8% of the budget early and then Jamal Charles, CJ Spiller, LeSean McCoy all went for 13-15% later. Adrian Peterson went for 32%, Arian Foster for 26% (before the latest news), and the 3rd tiers of guys went for 16-20% (yes, more than Charles, Spiller, and McCoy).

At WR, Calvin went for 26%, the same as Foster, AJ Green went for 23% (We have some Bengals homers), Julio Jones for 20%, and Dez Bryant for 20%. One thing worth noting here, after you got passed the elite guys, everyone else went from 6-10% through the top 20 or so, with everyone else going for cheap later.

At TE, Jimmy Graham went for 24% (highest a TE has gone by $23 in our league), while Gronk, Witten, Vernon Davis, and Greg Olsen went for 6-8%. The rest of the TE's all went for $1-2 late.

If you have questions about specific guys let me know. It was a live auction and I don't have time to post everyone right now.

Sorry, forgot QB's. QB was kind of fluky. We've carried over our rules for about 25 years, so all TD's are worth 10 points. Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees were both around 30%. From there, the next tier of guys (Brady, Cam, Ryan) went for around 20%. If you didn't get anyone from that tier, the next was 6-8% with some deals on guys like Daulton for $1-3 late.

If you don't mind, can you give a few more prices? Your league settings are the same as mine.

How much did Richardson go for? It seems like posted RB prices are always much higher than the AAVs that I see.

What about WR2 prices? Guys like Nicks, Nelson, Torrey...

the two Yahoo leagues tend to stay close to their auction prices... which is why RBs went for so much.

I did a quick glance before both drafts to see where the prices generally fell, and adjusted who to target (plus my disdain for RBs continues unabated)
