LosGatosEnFuegos Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Does anyone know of anywhere that keeps track of average blind bid amounts for players each week? Sort of like ADP but for BB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I'd be shocked if there is something. I know that there are websites that suggest a percentage of your spending allotment but to actually list a specific dollar amount? Not sure there is a place to find that as with all the unique league designs/rules, it'd be hard to predict. For instance, in one of my leagues, Leon Washington was just won for an insane bid of $500 out of the $1,000 allotment. Meanwhile, Bolden went for $17. I'm sure most places wouldn't recommend spending half of your allotment on Washington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BA Baracus Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Some dude just dropped 100% of his budget on Julius Thomas. I like OJ, but damn, that is just foolish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdub1988 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I bid $65 of my $200 on Edelman this week, but of course someone else bid $140...I really hope Edelman doesn't pan out now, so we can laugh when he has no cash for big waiver picks later.

tony2345 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I am not aware of a stie. In my one league, out of $100, i got Thomas and Edelman for $30 each. BUt then saw that noone else bid! it's a work league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brentastic Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 In one of my FPC leagues with a $1000 cap a guy paid $996 I landed JT in an FPC for $500 of my $1000 but tht was the week prior to week 1. In a $5k RT league with a $2400 budget, I landed him for $1305, again, prior to week 1. Im ecstatic I landed him as I also have Graham in both!

rattsass Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Looking over the stats for FFPC online I see that Thomas went for an AVERAGE of 960 out of 1000 budget. i've been playing these kinds of contests for many years, memory may be failing me, but I don't remember another player that garnered that kind of average winning bid after the first week. Of course those drafts were conducted from July 25 on, so Thomas wasn't really on the radar much at all in those early drafts, and I would suspect leagues that draft very early like that in general have teams with much bigger holes to fill. And it is a tight end premium league. But wow. 960 average winning bid. That's all in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 That's nuts. We had one team pay over 400 a piece for Dustin Keller and Dallas Clark in one of our leagues... he already had Jimmy Graham but no real backup at that spot.... and I felt had other weaknesses that he can't address anymore. But still, 80%+ of your budget in week one on those guys. Who knows, maybe I am way off on my opinion of them for the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delicious_bass Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 In one of my FPC leagues with a $1000 cap a guy paid $996 Might be a dumb question, but aren't Dreesen and Tamme still in the picture when healthy?

I bucked up over 3 bills for Winslow myself. Not so sure I would have went big on both those guys if I had Graham in my pocket though. Still, all of that is better than the guy who I'm sure accidentally shot his wad on Garrett Celek. Ouch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it was Winslow... not sure why keller was in my brain. And yes, I have read on a couple of the FFPC related boards about guys bidding pretty heavy on Garrett Celek and also Marlon Moore instead of Marlon Brown.

I think the Julius Thomas hype might be getting just a little out of control Tamme was healthy last week and played spme snaps iirc. I feel really confident in saying: barring injury, JT will be the season-long starting TE for Denver. Im actually trying to trade Jimmy Graham in one league because I also have JT.

Brentastic Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 I think that may end up being a massive mistake. IMO. Well I need to trade one of them because its no good having studs on my bench especially when I need a RB. I can fetch more for Graham and I don't think the gap between Graham and JT is very large. Gotta take risks to win this game and this is a calculated risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be looking to trade JT while he is hot. Graham is a proven stud, JT had a nice week. A lot of mouths to feed in Denver and he is not the best blocker. They want to protect Manning for taking shots like the Ravens were putting on him. I think he can be top 10 but not in Graham's league. You should be able to get a servicable RB from someone for him.

Brentastic Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Put it this way, i will trade whoever fetches the best return. I'm only speculating that will be Graham. If that ends up being JT, even better. Graham is obviously the safer option because he has been studly for 2 seasons vs 1 game. That said, i'm comfortable rolling with JT as my starter if it means getting a RB1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darin3 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 you're not getting a RB 1 for a TE alone I don't think anyone would give him a tried and true RB1 for Thomas. But I could certainly see a situation where a desperate (and loaded-at-RB) owner would trade a RB1 type of back for Graham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
