How Smart Players Win at Best Ball

NFL Offseason - Why should you try Best Ball fantasy football? It's an easy two-fold rationale for me:

  1. There are bigger potential winnings than any other type of fantasy football, with tournaments that feature up to $2 million to first place.
  2. You focus on the most fun part of fantasy football, with an 18- or 20-round snake draft being the only action you need to field a team across the entire regular season. No waiver wires, no bye week concerns or lopsided trade offers, no management whatsoever.

There's more nuance to that—you're less likely to succeed in Best Ball waltzing into a draft unprepared on player Average Draft Positions or an awareness of positional value than you would be in your local office redraft league.
