Now that Knowshon Moreno has moved on to the Dolphins, Ball's value is rising fast.

Sell now.

I am very confident in predicting the Broncos draft a RB. John Fox loves himself some RBBC.

Ball may very well be a solid RB2 this season. But you can get more in return for him right now.

I'm a fan of big-play scoring emphasized over tackling stat scoring. Sacks = 5 pts, INTs = 6 + ret yds, etc. In tackle-heavy scoring rules, pass rushing linebackers don't score much, and yet they make the big bucks in the NFL. I like to think we are trying to use our scoring systems to accurately me...

16 team league with 4 divisions. 4 division winners and next 4 best teams make playoffs based on Victory Points (2 pts for win, 1 pt for top 8 in scoring for the week). Seeding is done by VPs only, no benefit to division winners, and home field advantage bonus points given as half the difference bet...

What's nice about this league is that it has very balanced scoring among the positions, so there are multiple ways to build a contending team. Based on that, I'm going to avoid chasing big money players at RB and the top end of WR, as I anticipate old biases will inflate salaries, and instead target...

Yes, I've noticed that too -- that the price of the last player in a tier increases as owners didn't correctly estimate the demand for those players.

For your auction, johnyo, did you go in with a specific strategy? And were you able to stick to it?

Do you go in with a specific plan to acquire certain players? Or one of a small group of players?

Or do you keep your plans flexible, and thus highly dependent on how other teams bid?

I'm preparing for a start-up auction, beginning in a couple weeks. I was wondering what others consider the pluses and minuses of various strategies. (This is a 16 tm, IDP, sal cap & auction league with separate rookie draft, but I'm more interested in general strategy) Do you prefer to strike f...

No, you can do an auction in MFL at any time. They just don't have the capacity to do a Restricted Free Agent auction where another team can match the winning bid. The commish would have to manually change the team rosters once the match decision was made.

They most definitely are. Just look at how white WRs are described, not just in the media but by scouts. They have "sure hands" and are praised for their ability to make correct adjustments to defenses and run a complete route tree. And in the inevitable player comparison, they are compare...

Is there a cap hit for cutting a player? What's the minimum salary for a free agent pickup? Think back on your prior years playing. How many transactions did you make, on average, each week? Estimate how many you think you'll make on the season, and then take into consideration the costs involved. T...

You could include it all in one auction though it gets complicated in the logistics. Say a RFA is won by a team. The prior team gets the option to match. And so you set a deadline for him to decide (48 hrs? 24 hrs?). Meanwhile, other players are still being bid on and awarded in an auction. The winn...

Why wouldn't you let the free market decide? Let the player salaries be determined with the other players but require the teams to acquire at least 6 players from their designated franchises. If the Staleys miss out on Forte then that's their own fault and they'll have to get some lesser Bear as a r...

Yes, the lack of a matching high bid capacity in MFL is one of the most requested but never delivered features on MFL. You can set up an auction on MFL and then have the commish manually change the team rosters if the high bid is matched, or you can do the auction off-site and then have the commish ...

Allow teams to protect some number of players (2? 3? 4?). Then after they have had 1 player taken they get to protect some additional number of players (1? 2? 3?). That way they get to keep the players they most identify with their team. Tho I think expansion teams should get the top rookie draft pi...

So would you guys allow contracts to ascend, thus back loading the contracts, or would they have to be descending contracts? It depends on what you want to accomplish with the rule. Do you want to promote high bidding on new player acquisition each year? Then have diminishing $ amounts as the contr...
