Bestball Roster Construction
When it comes to bestball leagues, every little edge adds up. If you’re a mass bestball drafter like me (100-plus leagues), we use these drafts to gain a pulse on ADP as it shifts throughout the offseason and to bring in some additional cheddar on the side. One of the easiest things you can do Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

Bestball Players To Target & Players To Fade
After doing enough bestball drafts, you learn to get a sense of where players are going and which direction their ADP is trending. Exploiting value is the name of the game here. For example, we’ve been hearing all offseason that Todd Gurley may be entering the 2019 season with some leftover health concerns. That shouldn’t Read More!

Bestball Late Round Targets
Following ADP can help you get started in the early rounds, but sometimes it’s the late-round dart throws that you take that can help differentiate your roster from the competition. These are generally players that have a couple question marks surrounding them — playing time, role, depth chart, target volume, etc. — but can often Read More!

Reviewing Red Zone Efficiency of Running Backs in 2018
I’m a staunch believer in targets and touches being the priority for everything we should be focusing on when forecasting future fantasy production. Volume drives fantasy production. We’ve seen plenty of inefficient players bumble their way to a top fantasy finish due to volume, but it’s rare that efficiency can top volume. Last year’s prime Read More!

Intro To Bestball Fantasy Football & FAQ
Bestball has seemingly become the offseason drug of choice for both draft addicts and DFS players, alike. You will see slews of articles, tweets, blurbs, etc. outlining roster construction, strategies, targets, and fades.

2019 Player Profile: Jose Ramirez
Back in the preseason of 2019 Fantasy Baseball, Jose Ramirez was roundly regarded a top-5 overall selection.
