wavier wire blind bidding (1 Viewer)

[fsufan]

been playing FF for 13 years but I have never played in a league that did blind bidding on free agents each week. I get $1000 for the year.

what is a normal bid?

just looking for advice, tips

 

[Unwrittenlaw]

depends on the player of course

but usually ~10-15%

10 to 15% of your remaining balance?

There's so many factors: number of teams and what type of quality of player.

If B Jackson (or that type of player) was still available in a 16 team league, you would have to spend like 50%+ of the balance you're given to even have a shot.

Exactly. There are no hard and fast rules.But Jackson will require probably a 100% bid to get him. A potential 3 down RB on a potent offense comes around once every few years...very rare

It all depends on your perspective on the player. I find that blind bidding bears a strong resemblance to an auction draft - the larger money is spent at the beginning of the process, where owners see players about to emerge as major contributors (like the "big names" on auction boards) and worth a large expenditure. Other owners, most likely ones going 1-0, 2-0, 3-0 etc through the first few weeks, will hold money and keep it for leverage on a final piece of the puzzle-type player that can put them over the top later on down the line. Basically, the players that were going to fetch huge bid dollars if they WEREN'T drafted but through injury came to prominence were:

Brandon Jackson

Javon Ringer

Bernard Scott

Jacoby Jones

Donald Brown (maybe)

Willis McGahee

Peyton Hillis

Rashad Jennings

Kareem Huggins

Chris Ivory

Jason Snelling

Toby Gerhart/Albert Young

Anthony Dixon

That's just running through divisions in my head. Jackson's number came up Week 1; he's going to go for a premium. How much you bid on him depends on how you value him, how your team currently is constructed, and how you THINK the other owners in your league will value him. Keep in mind that the Packers will almost certainly be bringing in some RBs in the next 72 hours, but my guess is that you'll need to bid at least $500 to be in the conversation, and that's a conservative estimate.

Dump Boss, but hold Lynch if you can. He may re-emerge.

Im in a league where we drafted in June and had a waiver period just prior to the first week and below are the winning bids (note this was pre week 1 with a $1,000 budget):

Huggins- 70

Camarillo- 55

Mike Williams TAMPA- 400

Mike Williams SEA- 145

Orton- 55

Amendola- 87

I dont think you will get Clayton for 100, probably cost you in the 150-200 range for someone who needs receiver help.
