I've been participating in an ultra-competitive keeper/auction draft with others from Get Sports Info, for the past several years. And every year, I go in with a strategy - targeting specific players, perhaps filling a specific need. But, it never ceases to amaze me when owners complain about missing out on "their guy". When you are in an auction draft, you can get the player you want. Sure, you might have to pay for him, but if this is your target, then don't sit on your hands and let someone else grab your guy. You have to be willing to pay the price, if he is indeed your guy, or main target.

In a keeper league, such as the one I'm in, you cannot follow any experts pre-assigned dollar values. First, most of these lists are so generic, they rarely fit your league's rule or set ups. Additionally, when superstars are kept, the pool thins. So, with fewer superstars to pick from you have to contend with inflation.

Do not underestimate inflation in a keeper auction draft. Even if all experts say Roddy White is not worth more than $24, if he's the best WR available, and you have the money to spend, don't be afraid to bid what it will take to get him, especially if he is the guy you need to compete and win your league. Don't settle simply because you are trying to save a dollar or two. This is not a winning strategy for auction league success.

Lastly, if you are not in an auction league, you should consider finding one to join. For me, they are the most fun adding layers of strategy than just a straight snake draft.
