2023 Auction

This 2023 auction against the average of eight auctions on record, in dollars.

Ranked by the all-play rate of the drafted roster played optimally every week, byes and week 1 health in; on paper from Sleeper's week 1 projections under the league's scoring, in the books from what the players scored. Paid like: the roster's return per dollar against the board.

Value is the points the player went on to start that season, for whoever started him, so a steal is a steal even if he was traded away. A member's first auction carries $10 extra, so a new manager's line reads against $210 rather than $200. The letter is the all-play rate of each roster as bought: its best legal lineup every regular-season week against every other roster on the board, byes out. On paper each pick scores his Sleeper week 1 projection under the league's scoring, with week 1 health in and each player available at his position's injury rate on record; Sleeper does not project the yardage and long-play bonuses, so every line runs a little under the book. A pick Sleeper did not project reads the trade model's week 1 line, and one with neither reads no projection. In the books each pick scores what he scored, wherever he was rostered. The price reading is separate: the roster's return a dollar against the board, as a rank. Margin is a pick's points a game over the replacement at his position: the best player the board would not start for anyone, or the next one past the starters where every drafted player starts. On paper the replacement is the 13th QB at 20.9, the 29th RB at 12.9, the 33rd WR at 12.8, the 13th TE at 7.8, the 13th K at 7.0, the 13th DEF at 6.3 a game. In the books the replacement is the 13th QB at 14.0, the 29th RB at 11.1, the 33rd WR at 13.7, the 13th TE at 8.8, the 13th K at 7.6, the 13th DEF at 7.8 a game.
