How much is an elite running back worth? If you’re participating in an auction draft, the answer is a large chunk of your budget. In this mock auction currently being held at the Cafe, LaDainian Tomlinson wound up going off the board for $90, nearly one third of the drafters’ $300 budgets. In contrast, quarterbacks not named Peyton could be had for relatively reasonable prices.

So far, 65 players have been signed by the ten teams involved in this auction, including the game’s premier performers.

Single-season (no keepers), head-to-head with playoffs in weeks 16 and 17, 16-man rosters with the following starters:

1 QB
2 RB
3 WR
1 TE
1 K
1 Team Defense

along with a six-man bench (any positions).

Scoring assumed is as follows:

Offense:
1 point per 25 passing yards
1 point per 10 rushing or receiving yards
4 points per passing touchdown
6 points per rushing, receiving or return touchdown
-2 points per interception or fumble

Kicking:
3 points per field goal up to 39 yards
4 points per field goal between 40 and 49 yards
5 points per field goal over 50 yards
1 point per extra point

Defense:
2 point per sack
1 point per blocked kick or punt
4 points per interception or fumble recovery
6 points per defensive touchdown
1 points per safety
1 point per return touchdown
10 points for a shutout
7 points for allowing up to 6 points
4 points for allowing up to 13 points
1 points for allowing up to 20 points
0 points for allowing up to 27 points
-1 points for allowing up to 34 points
-3 points for allowing over 35 points
