2024 Fantasy Football Auction Draft Values and Rankings
Fantasy Football drafts are in full swing!
By now, you have pored over all of Michael Fabiano's rankings for your traditional snake draft, and you are no doubt ready to ace it on draft day. But what if you're not in a typical snake draft? What if you have an auction draft coming up?
I have prepared some draft-day values for those participating in auction-style salary cap drafts as a guideline. Don't be surprised if these differ from Fabs' rankings, as these values are my own.
If you're considering an auction draft, I encourage you to jump in! It's my favorite way to draft and allows you to build a roster, unlike in a snake draft. If you want two first-round players, no problem! Spend enough to get them—just be sure to have a plan for sleeper values to target later in the draft. Your draft position no longer constrains you. Instead, you distribute salaries as you see fit- just like a genuine GM. Can you build a winning squad? My money says you can.
Consider this set of values as a flexible guide. If you feel like investing a bit more or less on a player, go ahead. Sometimes, you need to gauge the situation. For instance, if you're drafting with a lot of Cowboys fans, you know CeeDee Lamb's value will be high. Plan your budget accordingly or be ready to adjust.
I've included values for QB, RB, WR, and TE to give you a clear picture of their worth. As a general rule, don't overspend on a defense or a kicker. In fact, try to acquire them during dollar days or for zero dollars in your reserve snake draft.
These values were calculated for a 12-team PPR league using four points per passing touchdown scoring and rostering 1QB, 2RB, 3WR, 1TE, 2 FLX, DST, and K.
Players that did not make the list should be valued at one dollar or less.
Now, let's build a winning football team!
