Best Ball 101: What is the Best Underdog Fantasy Draft Strategy?
Each fantasy football draft strategy rule is based off of the last four Best Ball Manias. They pulled all of the data together per position to see what has worked and what has not worked. The Golden Rule is to have 4-5 WRs by Round 7, finishing with 7-8. For Running Backs, the teams that drafted at least one running back by round 4. They recommend having 3-4 running backs through 10 rounds. You should finish with 5-6 running backs.
For tight end fantasy football draft strategy, either get an early tight end or punt the position. You should draft at least 2 tight ends and no more than three. They recommend 2-3 quarterbacks as well. The top scorers in the regular season got their QB1 before Round 14. Teams that got a quarterback before round 4 scored more on average. But, you do not necessarily have to go early-QB. They do recommend getting your 2nd QB until after round 8. Bully tight end and double early quarterback were both found to be bad strategies. Alright, here was the result!
