DMD Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Or, for you, go very, very big and then sit there for about two and a half hours. In the Huddle Expert Auction last night, with a $200 salary, Steve bought Saquon Barkley (40), Christian McCaffrey (60), Davante Adams (43) and Tyreek Hill (43) and then only had a dollar for each of the remaining 14 players. I went "deep" and held off from buying the top players. But I never had a player for a dollar either. My most expensive player was Najee Harris (39). Here are the resulting teams from the two strategies: Steve Carr, Derek LVR QB Mayfield, Baker CLE QB Watson, Deshaun HOU QB Barkley, Saquon NYG RB (Q) Booker, Devontae NYG RB Cohen, Tarik CHI RB (O) Mack, Marlon IND RB McCaffrey, Christian CAR RB Adams, Davante GBP WR Agholor, Nelson NEP WR Campbell, Parris IND WR Hill, Tyreek KCC WR Hilton, T.Y. IND WR Shepard, Sterling NYG WR Engram, Evan NYG TE Gronkowski, Rob TBB TE Gould, Robbie SFO PK Browns, Cleveland CLE Def DMD Hurts, Jalen PHI QB (Q) Lance, Trey SFO QB Ryan, Matt ATL QB Carter, Michael NYJ RB Harris, Najee PIT RB Montgomery, David CHI RB Stevenson, Rhamondre NEP RB Williams, Javonte DEN RB Chark, D.J. JAC WR (Q) Cooks, Brandin HOU WR Jeudy, Jerry DEN WR Reagor, Jalen PHI WR Waddle, Jaylen MIA WR Woods, Robert LAR WR Goedert, Dallas PHI TE Hockenson, T.J. DET TE (Q) Sanders, Jason MIA PK Patriots, New England NEP Def I did take too many rookies admittedly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what he did: Saquon Barkley (54) Clyde Edwards-Helaire (44) Christian McCaffrey (61) The problem is that you cannot get any injuries when you di that.

Shaft Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 I prefer DMD's. Steve's is boom or bust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Should be fun to watch but I'll take Steve's roster all day. Play musical chairs with those QBs and TEs, then throw out - CMC Barkley Adams Hill and whatever 3rd option Pretty nice! That's arguably 4- 1st rounders in one starting lineup!

I should add that I had zero desire to win Tyreek, I was just trying to push his price up in hopes of making Adams a better value vs other top tier WRs. I do have a question for you, have you finished taking your shower yet? Hurts, Reagor and Goedert!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, this strategy is like running a race without a spare tire. You get a flat you are done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keggerz Posted August 21, 2021 Author Share Posted August 21, 2021 One loss that bothered me most was nominating Higbee for $1 and him going for $2 to someone that already had 3 TEs (Fant, Jonnu & Logan Thomas). Adding Higbee gave him 4 TEs that he paid $12 total for. I paid $14 for 14 roster spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changed careers and became a financial auditor. Still with Verizon though. This February will be my 23rd year. So now I have solid work/life balance. Just got back form my auction draft at the hunting cabin in Appalachians this weekend. The weather sucked though. It was unusually hot up there (90 degrees), and we had non-stop thunderstorms. I feel like I landed a solid core of a team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
