AUCTION FANTASY DRAFTS

An auction draft is a type of fantasy football draft where each manager has a budget of virtual money to use to bid on players to fill out their fantasy football roster. Each player is available for bid, and the highest bidder wins the player. The auction draft can take place online as managers bid on players in real time during the draft. Auction drafts can also take place in person which results in a unique and exciting fantasy football draft. In fact, several leagues around the country actually bring in a real auctioneer to create the ultimate fantasy football auction draft experience.

In an auction draft, each manager has the same budget to spend on players. The imaginary budget can vary from league to league. The manager then uses this budget to bid on players they want to add to their team. The bidding starts at a certain value, and managers can increase the bid in increments until the highest bidder wins the player. Managers can bid on any player they want, regardless of their draft position. This allows for a more flexible and personalized draft experience, as managers can target specific players they believe will help them win the league. It also allows for more strategy during the draft, as league members must balance the need to acquire top-tier players with the need to stay within their budget.

One of the benefits of an auction draft is that it creates a more even playing field for all owners. In a traditional snake draft, the team with the first pick has a significant advantage, as they can select the best player in the draft. However, in an auction draft, any manager can acquire any player they want, as long as they are willing to spend the money. An additional benefit of an auction draft is that it allows for more involvement and engagement during the draft. Instead of simply waiting for their turn to pick, owners must actively participate in the draft and make strategic bidding decisions throughout the process. The auction draft experience can certainly be a fun and exciting way to conduct a fantasy football draft as it allows for more flexibility, strategy, and engagement during the draft process.
