Auction fantasy football drafts are the best. There is no better way to get your entire league engaged with each and every pick of the draft. Every pick demands everyone’s attention. If you’re reading this article, you’ve come to see how much, or how little, you should be budgeting to put together a winning roster for the 2023 fantasy football season. Well, you’ve come to the right place. Today we’ll look at my fantasy football auction values for the 2023 NFL season.
My auction draft strategy article is a more in-depth discussion on how to dominate your draft. If you are drafting in an auction for the first time, I highly recommend familiarizing yourself with it. For any additional questions, comments, or advice, I love talking about auction drafts so find me on Twitter: @Colin_McT!
The following rankings and auction values of players by position are my own. Each listed value is generally how much I believe a manager should be spending to acquire a player’s talents in a 10-team, Points Per Reception League, 1QB league with a $200 salary cap budget. When it is time to draft, remember that these values are guidelines. Don’t be afraid to exceed the amount. Conversely, some players may come off of the board for much less depending on the market set by you and your league! Adjust accordingly with your own rankings, or league settings, to the corresponding values, and good luck!
