How are auction values calculated?
Values start with model fantasy projections, compare players against replacement level, and distribute the auction budget across above-replacement value.

Auction value methodology
Auction values estimate what each player is worth before room-specific behavior takes over. The calculator starts from projections, computes value over replacement, then scales dollars to your budget and league size so deep leagues and shallow leagues produce different price anchors.

NFL auction draft FAQ
Why should I change team budget and league size?
Budget and league size change how much replacement value is available, which changes the dollar value of every player.
Should I bid exactly the listed value?
No. Treat values as anchors, then adjust for roster build, nomination flow, remaining budgets, and league behavior.
