Pick 3 of these

[WhatWouldDitkaDo]

Depends, auction strategy is all about value. What do top-tier RBs and WRs usually go for? If you're getting a $15+ discount on Zeke, then I'd keep him, Kamara, and McKinnon. If top-tier RBs only go for about $50, than the discount isn't enough to keep him. In that case, I'd go with Hill, Kamara, and McKinnon.

Zeke, kamara, and then McKinnon or Allen depending on positional value.

For reference - Bell is being kept for $50, and Fournette was drafted for $39 last year. DJ, Freeman, and Barkley will be the only top RB available. AB is $51, Julio is $40, OBJ is $57. AB, Julio, Evans, AJ Green, and possibly OBJ will be available this year. So maybe the economy of the league make RBS the better keep? I can keep Zeke, Kamara, and McKinnon for $47 total, and plan to spend about $100 on a combo of the previously mentioned WR, or I can spend $27 for Allen, Kamara, and McKinnon but still have to go after another RB.

Personally I still wouldn't keep Zeke because I'm not saving any money, but I could understand why you might want to. I'd go with Kamara and McKinnon for sure, and then your choice of Zeke or Hill.

Turns out Hill is only $19, too. Thanks for your feedback!

Zeke, KA, Kamara

You have to go with Zeke, Kamara, and Mckinnon, you are locking up your RBs for a total of $47, that's insane value. Zeke, Kamara, and Mckinnon in normal auction prices would combine to cost you at least $130. Let everyone else overspend on the remaining RBs, while you get great values and dominate with your remaining budget on every other position. This should allow you to lock up 3-4 really good WRs and another good RB with your remaining budget.

I don't know what "Standard scoring" is anymore. You should probably specify PPR v. non-PPR. Locking up 3 RBs in either format for 25% of your budget seems prudent. I would keep Zeke, Kamara (obviously), and McKinnon, but still spend money to lock down another RB. I would then trade McKinnon on hype to secure a top notch WR, as I'm in the crowd who thinks he may not deliver at the same level as that hype has reached.

I know it's not Dynasty, but this is from my one league that isn't dynasty (still a keeper league).
Standard scoring, standard rosters, 10 teams. $200 auction budget.

$45 Zeke
$25 Keenan Allen
$19 Tyreke Hill
$1 Alvin Kamara
$1 Jerrick McKinnon
$1 Kenyan Drake
$1 Josh Gordon
$1 Robert Woods

I can keep 3 of these. My initial leaning is for $3 worth on McKinnon, Drake, and Kamara.

Does Josh Gordon's availability change this? I still can't think of a reason not to take 3 startable keepers for $3 and leave myself $197 to spend on anyone else I need. I guess I am not understanding why so many people are telling me to get Zeke.
