Last year, I came up with a ranking system based on auction values and z-scores for players. Upon reflection and reading a bit more about auction value, it probably over-amplified within-position variance. That said, the determination of replacement value in auctions tends to be imperfect, so I wanted to add a small boost (max $10) to auction values from FantasyPros based on the within-position z-scores for starting roster positions (12 QBs, 24 RBs, 24 WRs, and 12 TEs in my league). Here are my rankings for the 2016 season:
| Rank | Player | Original Value | Z-Boost Value | Total Value |
| 1 | Antonio Brown, PIT | 64.00 | 9.78 | 73.78 |
| 2 | Julio Jones, ATL | 56.00 | 8.19 | 64.19 |
