What are Best-Ball Draft-Only Leagues?

Best ball is a fantasy football format where league managers draft their team but there is no in-season management—no waiver wire, no trades, no setting lineups. Instead, your highest-scoring players are optimized to form your starting lineup. Leagues are decided by cumulative season points rather than head-to-head matchups. Roster size and payout structures vary by platform and while there are traditional live drafts available, slow drafts (1- 2- 4- 6- and 8-hour timers) are also popular for best-ball leagues.

 

General Strategy to Get Started

A specific strategy for each site varies but, in general, you should go into a draft with the aim to draft the following number of players at each position in hopes of maintaining enough active players through all 17 weeks:

  • 2–3 QB
  • 4–6 RB
  • 6–9 WR
  • 2–3 TE
  • 2–3 Defenses
  • 2–3 Kickers

 




***Tips when drafting running backs in best ball

How you draft running backs in fantasy, let alone best ball, is one of the most widely debated topics in the game. RB-heavy? Mid-round gems? Two in the first three rounds? Are you a zero RB kind of person? But how often do the “zero RB” approaches actually work out in the end?

You can never have enough depth at running back. Locking in as many in those upper tiers has your team set for success. Given the massive decline in production, getting at least two inside the top 20 of your rankings makes sense.

From that point on, look for value, but don’t overvalue the position. Landing rookies could be a viable strategy if you hit on the Najee HarrisElijah Mitchell, or James Robinson of this year’s class. Spoiler alert — there are really not many of those types of players as of now, at least not until training camps open up.

Yeah, so about that zero RB thing. I’m not saying I’ve gone off the rails, but I can get behind this strategy in best ball. If your league has PPR scoring, there’s an advantage to having multiple top-tier wide receivers. Last season, the majority of my teams that did well were ones where I added receivers earlier in the draft. Given this is a passing league, it’s a trend I expect to continue this year.

As for the running backs, there are mid-round players like Jamaal Williams, J.D. McKissic, AJ Dillon, Khalil Herbert, Kenneth Walker III, Melvin Gordon, and Dameon Pierce. The best tip is to remain flexible. Best ball drafts can quickly send you off-script and need to adjust your strategy. 2022 NFL RB Best Ball Rankings.
