Tired of Blind Bidding headaches? Let the Fantasy Football Blind Bidding Report do the analysis for you! For those not in a Blind Bidding League, the Report will also help in prioritizing your bids.

Number of leagues analyzed = 70

Based on $100 Blind Bidding dollars. ADJUST ACCORDINGLY!! (For example, if your league uses $1000 blind bidding dollars, multiply by 10)

All of the Bids that have been used for this Report were the Winning Bids.

Percent that bid:  Obviously, the higher the number, the more in-demand the player is.
Most Common Bid and Average Bid are available as a frame of reference to those interested, but IMO not very useful.
Most Common Bid:  Why read this report if you are going to bid what everyone else does?
Average Bid:  This can be skewed by a few outrageous bids.
70th Percentile:  This amount gives you a GOOD chance of winning the bid.
80th Percentile:  This amount gives you a BETTER chance of winning the bid.
90th Percentile:  This amount gives you the BEST chance of winning the bid.

Some Helpful Hints:
  1. Every action requires an equal and opposite reaction. In other words, if you want to pick-up a player, you need to drop a player. If your team is already stacked, don’t go overboard with the Transactions. You don’t want to drop a player who will strengthen your competition. Use the Best Damn Player Rankings as a guide. However…
  2. In Fantasy Football, much like poker, if you play too conservatively you will never Win. You have got to take some chances and can’t be afraid to pull the trigger when managing your team. Don’t be afraid to go for upside in place of the steady, but low-scoring players.
  3. In general, go for the long-term pick-up over a one or two week plugin.
  4. The more similar choices that are available at a position, the lower your bids should be. If there are 4-6 WRs that you like, then place minimal bids (1-3% of your Bidding $) on all of them and you will likely get one.
  5. If your League also has a First-Come-First-Serve period, NEVER bid on a kicker. Just pick one up afterwards.

Check out the Free Agent Cheat Sheet for other tips.

It’s up to you to decide who and how much to bid, depending on your team needs and remaining Blind Bidding money.  Use this report as your guide. Enjoy
