I was in a league during law school where the manager clicked everything besides PPR. We had three IDP rostered each week and did point per tackle, sacks, caused fumble, recovered fumble. Your defensive players some weeks were your top scorers. Glad to be out of that one.
I like doing IDP leagues, but those are such a tough sell that I havenāt done one in several years

After a couple of weeks I would just pick up the top 3 tacklers of the season. In three years I finished 1st, 2nd, and 4th just on that strategy.
Joined the league

Bumping this, since someone just dropped out
Fwiw, with the first game being tonight, we will handle those players like this:
If you want the points someone scores tonight, you have to draft them into a starting position. So someone like Cooper Kupp thatās a no brainer wont be effected much. But if some third string RB scores 4 TDs and you want those points, you have to draft him as a starting RB or Flex. Up to you how you want to weight those points or lack there of, but where ever you draft a player from tonightās game, thatās where he stays for the week regardless of performance
My main college buddies league switched to a salary cap draft this year and it was a ton of fun. $200 budget 0.5 ppr and it was the first action draft for most of us so there were some funny results.
Hurts went for $30 and Allen was the only other QB that went for more than $10
Taylor and Kupp were the first two nominations, and they both went to the same guy for $70+, because he didnāt realize he won Taylor.
One guy ended the draft with $41 left in his budget.
Overall we all enjoyed it more than a traditional snake draft. Itās nice to be able to get a guy if you really want him regardless of how the draft order shakes out.

Auctions are easily the best way to draft in my opinion. As long as everyone is there, itās a lot of fun. You can get some good players cheap. You can make sure you get the guys you want. Puts a lot more responsibility on the owner and his strategy unlike a snake draft
Had an auction last night, ten teams, where 2 guys didnāt show and 1 guy bailed halfway through. Just ruins it. The AI auto draft just price enforces non stop

Very key. Ours earlier this week had 3 autodrafters which was less than ideal.

Yeah the auto draft sucks for an auction. Iām trying to figure out a way around it for guys who donāt make our draft. Open to any suggestions
Kick them off the Tour, Doug.
After each player is drafted, roll a 10 or 12 sided die (or something random that happens approx 10% of the time). If that certain number comes up, the missing owner must buy the player at a 10% premium.
So I buy CMC for $45. Then you roll a 1, so missing owner gets CMC for $50. Does this until they run out of $$. Once it gets to $1 bids, they get top player on the sheet.

Let the auto draft work, but they start with a 25% budget penalty
One last bump before I open it up to non refugees so we can get the draft set

Already in from last night.
Someone joined last night, quit this morning, then joined again a bit ago. You gotta be decisive in these parts!
Up to 7 teams. Should easily get to 10 by tomorrow evening. Would be great if we got to 12
I downloaded sleeper and joined this afternoon.

Ok I said the last bump was the final one but now we need 1 more player and I can start the draft. Itāll be a slow draft so you donāt have to be online at any particular time, just make your pick when you turn comes up, in a reasonable amount of time.
If we can get one more to join in the next hour or so, Iāll throw in a decent bottle of bourbon to the winner, on top of any prize money. And if bourbon isnāt your thing, Iāll do some other booze or cool gift.
