ANECDOTE

Dan's Auction QB Misread

  • Dan recounts his 12-team superflex auction where he misread the QB market and ended up with weak QB depth.
  • He paid low for some QBs early but saw bottom-tier QBs force prices into the teens, leaving him exposed.
ADVICE

Respect QB Market In 12-Team Superflex

  • In 12-team superflex auctions, don't expect QB prices to drop later; buy value when it appears.
  • If you plan to spend less at QB, play in 10-team superflexs instead of 12-team ones.
INSIGHT

Tight Ends Often Undervalued In Auctions

  • Tight ends consistently price below their perceived draft value in auctions compared with snake drafts.
  • That creates recurring bargain opportunities to spend up on elite tight ends like Brock Bowers or Trey McBride.
