Just this past weekend I really started getting back into fantasy football mode. I read some information on ESPN's website and started working on the two leagues where I serve as commissioner.
And I have something to say.....
I really like Auction Drafts!
I had never done one before. I knew about them but always just did snake drafts. Honestly I didn't know enough about the strategy or idea behind the auction draft style to do one.
Well I still don't know enough about the strategy but I enjoyed not having to rely on draft position to get certain players. I only did a mock draft but you can be sure that I will be doing at least 2-3 auction drafts in free leagues this year and potentially becoming commissioner of a league next season.
I think the best way to do an auction draft is to get 3-5 really good players and find enough talented and cheap guys to fill in the rest of your roster. I probably stretched for a player or two in my mock draft but I thought I did okay.
Last season I was in 20 different fantasy football leagues. Most of them free leagues on ESPN but there were 2 play for money leagues that I took (at some points) a little too seriously.
Last year I vowed that I would not do 20 leagues again this year....and so far (I repeat...so far) I have not done any (other than my 2 pay leagues).
But that is going to change and it is going to change in a big way. I need to do research....trust me its research. Now that I have found auction style drafts and want to start an auction style league next year I have to know the best strategy. So I am going to do that.
I will build some teams through the auction drafts that fit multiple styles and strategies. And once I figure out which way works best I will use that for the years to come.
So is it too early to talk fantasy football?
Well.....personally I think the question is....
Is it EVER to early to talk fantasy football?
