Mock Drafts and Mock Auctions
I have found a couple of places to practice our craft:
CBS and Mock Draft Central.
CBS is totally free and you can do as many as you like. MDC is free, if you want to do one a day, but pay-per for more.
Try both:

Are You Ready for Baseball?
Time to start thinking about baseball...I mean, hockey and basketball are nice, but really, baseball is the King of fantasy sports, with football a very close second.
My strategy last year worked to a T and I won my 12 man cash league.
In addition, through various other leagues (non-cash), I was second in a couple of other ESPN leagues.
CBS...not so well...and I learned that my strategy for my 12 team league does not work for 10 team CBS leagues.
So...I will be reviewing what worked and what did not...reviewing the fine print in the rules of various leagues...and seeing where I can leverage my knowledge to take advantage of those rules.

Kenny Britt, Cedric Benson, Vernon Davis and Reggie Bush
Reggie Bush is going to be great for you, until he gets hurt.
Considering it is a PPR league, Benson is somewhat of a risk, but he is still going to get you 80 yards and a TD.
Britt is going to be monster this year.
Dallas gives up a lot to opposing TE's. So go with Davis.

Why you should ignore the Top 15 RB's
I was already leaning toward a WR-friendly team this season in my auction draft (everyone holds over RB's and Top QB's in our league), leaving a lot of value in WR's.
One would notice that all of the RB's that are often mentioned going in rounds 3 to 7 do not have obvious handcuffs. I say this is a good thing! If your guy goes down, it is more likely that his backup is not on anyone's roster. Here you can see a list of the top 13 backs and their handcuffs.
Here is a solid argument for this strategy:

How a Fantasy Auction is Like a Black Jack Hand
The goal in blackjack is to get as much money on the table when the dealer is showing a weak card (4, 5, or 6). So you double down or split whenever possible and/or prudent. Thus, getting more money on the table and hoping for the dealer bust.
In auction formats of any fantasy sport, be it football, baseball, hockey, basketball or Caribbean cricket, you want to nominate players early that you do not want, bid them up to value that you can live with, then get out of the way.
You see? You are getting more money on the table and out of people's pockets early so you can scoop up bargains later.
Do this in your first 5 or 6 rounds when it is your turn to nominate.
