Snipers: Ammo for Auction Drafts

Little bit of a social commentary cross over. Plenty of foul language to go along with some possible foul play. Is the NFL rigged? What role is gambling playing in professional football? And what are the risks to fantasy and society at large? 

This is your chance to sit in on a top 1% ranked fantasy sports auction drafter, since 1988. Basically a masterclass in comparing and contrasting 3 different auction drafts for the 2024 fantasy season. All within just weeks of each other a breakdown my franchise keeper league draft on a play by play of my draft. I go over all the main details of my draft preparation before entering the draft room. With 15 keepers of a 30-man roster I give you the deep dive on each of my winning bids and why this is one of the best drafts I've ever had. This coming from a Yahoo Diamond Level ranked score of 1,012 as of the day of this recording. 

Listen, learn take your shots!

This episode gives you a play-by-play, fly on the wall view of the first 100 drafted players in a redraft league made up of some very good auction drafters. I also basically do a training course in the strategy of my personal team building and how psychology can play a lot in how you draft. Salary Cap drafts and player prices are heavily dependent on sequence of nomination. 

Knowing when to bid and how much to spend is understanding the sequence of bids, the draft patterns that emerge quickly in each individual draft (each draft is unique) and how much I should spend on my targets depending on when they get thrown out in the draft. It's best for your top priorities to come out first, in sequence one after another but it rarely works out that way. This is what complicates a draft and can blow up less experienced auction bidders. 

If you want a detailed review of a real auction, with guys that know what they're doing.... listen to this episode. 

I review Mathew Berry's Top 12 QB List and point out his glaring oversights. Then I give you my top 5 sleeper pics and 2 definite QBs he doesn't project will be in the top 10. I say they will be!

So many leagues do their Keeper rules all wrong. Stop imposing a "Keeper Tax" on yourselves. Here is your solution to the best rules for Keeper leagues and players that want to have the best long term fantasy football experience possible. 

In this episode I provide the listeners with my favorite breakdown of funds allocation per total roster positions. Keep in mind this is a only a general starting point for team cap pricing structure. It should and will have variations based on your preferred player targets on draft day. Slight variations should be expected based on those targets. 

But if you have no clue who you want to target then use my basic funds management chart to be your draft day guide and shooting instructions. 

This episode will provide team cap budgets for both 1QB and Superflex leagues. 

My #1 Secret for dominating my leagues... no one else will tell you. The main stream media pervasively preaches the exact opposite. I explain exactly how I target my top players.  Stop listening to the crowd consensus, bust out of the rankings' echo chamber.  

The final episode in the Real Teams-Salary Cap Keepers Strategy: Superflex edition series. This 7-7 team just missed the playoffs which is just as bad as going 1-13 from the "having no chance" to win your league. 

The only part in this series that covers two teams in one episode.  Each team are among the worst teams in our league during the 2023 season, both ended up with 5-9 records. But their QB rooms are necessarily bad but they are completely different scenarios if you're playing in a dynasty league. I break down their teams based on what I would do if I were the owner. Who they should, or shouldn't freeze based on player salaries and other roster situations. 

Part 1 of 4 where I breakdown the best and worst teams QB situations. How they scored last year and their contract prices. Should the be frozen for 2024 or not? Takeaway strategy principles emphasized to help you prep for your 2024 draft, dynasty, keeper or redraft.
