The two auction articles I wrote have generated many questions and comments by email and the Bruno Boys Forum. I have to admit, I am really psyched that so many fantasy football owners are giving auction drafts a try and are thinking and planning on a different level than most other fantasy owners. This week, I decided to take the best questions I’ve received and answer them in a mailbag format. These mailbags are going to be a regular feature here at Bruno Boys.

Let’s just get this out of the way. If you haven’t tried an auction league yet, you need to. Anyone can dominate a boring serpentine draft. The same cannot be said for auction drafts. With ESPN offering free, online auction leagues, you have no excuse for not joining one. Since I wrote The Awesomeness of Auction Drafts (AAD) last summer, I have received incredible feedback from Bruno Boys Nation requesting more auction content discussing advanced auction strategies. Some of you even wanted me to share my personal secrets and strategies. Well ask and you shall receive. Let’s take a look at some advanced auction concepts and some of my personal strategies.
Please note: If you haven’t read The Awesomeness of Auction Drafts, I would recommend doing so before continuing. That article introduces the concepts and strategies this article will expound on.

Are you depressed because you’re stuck with the #9 pick in your fantasy football serpentine draft this year? Are you dejected that you haven’t even a prayer of landing Adrian Peterson, Matt Forte, or Maurice Jones-Drew? Do your league competitors ridicule you because you probably won’t even have the chance to draft Larry Fitzgerald? My friends, the solution is clear: auctions.
Auctions are one of the fastest growing trends in fantasy football. It is estimated that just over a quarter of all fantasy football leagues use an auction, but that number increases every year. If you want to try something different and are up to the challenge, I would strongly urge you to join a league that utilizes an auction. Auctions level the playing field and involve far more strategy than a dull, run of the mill serpentine draft. Fantasy football is evolving and changing every season. Face it, serpentine drafts are boring. You just sit there calling out names, doing very little for the vast majority of the draft. Serpentine drafts are spectator sports and a thing of the past. Auctions allow owners an opportunity to acquire any player and the ability to impact what team gets every player. Auctions are the most fun and most challenging way for your league to distribute players each season. It is my hope that this article encourages you to join and dominate an auction league this season.
