The price is different for 10-team and 12-team leagues because of the supply/demand principal (high school economics FTW)... And based on that rule, every player jumps up about $1 because I eliminated the kicker position... Plus, ESPN changes the values day-to-day based on player evaluation, the same way they change snake draft positions regularly...
But at the end of the day, it's an auction - a player is only worth what someone wants to pay for them... Using the $71 base price for Chris Johnson, I've seen an arrogant group of bidders go as high as $85 for him and I've seen a savvy group of bidders pay no more than $55 for him... The buck stops at the ego's limitations, but one idiot can throw the whole thing off (well, until they're left with $30 to fill out their last 10 roster spots, then fiscal sense becomes the great equalizer!)
