It's possible to do a Zoomcast tonight. Let me think about that and see what we can do.

Awesome gesture Abney. Thanks very much. I'll start thinking about my favorite donation now since I know I'm winning this league this year!! But seriously, well done.

Here's my team. I'm generally happy with it. I didn't get any of the A List RBs I wanted but Mixon-Ekeler is a very good duo so no complaints with that Plan B approach. LOVE LOVE LOVE my Top 3 WRs. Those were my Top 3 targets and I got all of them for the exact total price I wanted to play. I really wanted Brandin Cooks or A.J. Green as my WR4 but I was outbid for both. I do like Slayton a lot and Watkins or Miller as a WR5 is a good deal for depth.

Fun auction. Got done in 2:15 which is fantastic. Now let's have a season and play this out.

Had fun with the draft last night very fast. Came in with no real strategy got CEH for $35 thought that was a steal and Dalvin Cook at $44 not bad. After those 2 pretty weak at Rb with CEH’s hopeful backup in Washington for $2 and Cohen at $12. Mix of young and old wr 2s 3s and 4s no studs and the unconventional Wr handcuffs with AJ Green and Boyd for $27 combined. Love Kittle at $27

An online auction done in 2 hours and 15 minutes with two 5-minute breaks is insane. Let's get some of our veteran live auction players to test out the software and enjoy some higher-dollar private auction leagues. Andy Saxton is going to ask around, but I think we can fill some $750 online auction leagues with great league prizes. Who's up for it?

Seriously, the auction software is fantastic and you don't get stuck with a +1 bid if someone jumps the bid to a higher amount. The software prevents that. Not a single glitch last night and everyone got the players they wanted, even if they didn't really want them. Great fun, great competition and now we hope the games play out. Here we go.

I was looking to get two back-end first round RBs for $80 and then try to build from there. The two guys I wanted came out early and I was aggressive in bidding for them because I expected all top RBs to go higher than our AAVs. I'm happy with the start, but saw some values I could have had later. Anyway, here's my team:

QB - Josh Allen $4
QB - Matthew Stafford $4

RB - Miles Sanders $44
RB - Aaron Jones $38
RB - Ronald Jones $7
RB - KeShawn Vaughn $4
RB - Boston Scott $3
RB - AJ Dillon $3

WR - Adam Thielen $26
WR - Keenan Allen $20
WR - TY Hilton $14
WR - CeeDee Lamb $7
WR - Jamison Crowder $7
WR - Taylor Gabriel $1

TE - Evan Engram $9
TE - Noah Fant $3

K - Greg Zuerlein $2
K - Stephen Haushka $1

D - Tampa Bay $2
D - Minnesota $1

Clyde Edwards-Helaire at $35 and Josh Jacobs at $32 were solid early bargains. Would have been heavy on Jacobs if I didn't have my top two RBs already at that time. Nice.

CEH only going for $35 caught me by surprise. In retrospect I should've gotten in the bidding at that point. When he only went for $35 I thought guys like Cook, Sanders and Jones would all go in that range too so that's why I didn't go in more for CEH. I thought at least one of them would come in for a similar price. None of them did which is why I shifted to my Plan B RB approach (Mixon/Ekeler). I'm happy with those two but if I had to do it over again I would've seen how aggressively people wanted to go for CEH or just said F it and bid on Sanders and/or Jones until I got at least one of them.

Good news is Mixon and Ekeler is pretty damn good as a RB duo. Bad news is I didn't come away with at least one of the RBs I really wanted. Oh well.
