MtD Fantasy Football: Join Fairburn’s Auction-Style Fantasy League

Ladies and gentlemen, fantasy football season is upon us again, and here at Mocking the Draft we’re teaming up with Yahoo! and running a trifecta of leagues for our readers.

As promised, each league will be a bit different. Dan’s league has a traditional setup with a flex position thrown in, Damond decided to go with an IDP league, and my league will feature an auction-style draft. Draft time to be determined.

For now, the lineup and scoring system in this league is all standard, but once my league is full, we’ll vote on how we want it scored. The league is capped at 16 teams.

If you’d like to join me in some auction-style madness this year, drop a comment below and invites will be sent out. You can also email me (matthewfairburn@gmail.com) or contact me on Twitter (@MatthewFairburn). Find a way to get in touch with me with a preferred email address and I’ll be sending out invites Friday evening and through the weekend if spots remain. Hopefully we can get this league filled by the end of the weekend so we can hammer out a draft time and some settings. Let’s make it happen.

In the meantime, check out my fantasy rankings to get a leg up on me.

He’s a bit of a liability in the run game, but his potential in the pass game was enough for Buffalo Rumblings.

It’s a high-potential pick for a Detroit defense that needs a solid pass rusher.
