DRAFT Launches NFL Best Ball Contests - Available Now!
After Paddy Power Betfair acquired DRAFT last month, the leadership at DRAFT promised there were big things to come, and they are already making good on that promise with the release of Best Ball contests.
The popular Best Ball concept is one familiar to many in fantasy sports, as it allows people to “draft and forget” their teams. It gives users all the fun of a fantasy football draft without the headache of weekly roster management.
The concept is simple: Draft an 18-man team and take the highest scores each week for the allotted roster requirements. The team with the most points at the end of the season wins the contest.
RotoGrinders is teaming up with DRAFT to provide exclusive content for their Best Ball contests that will include GrindersLive shows, free homepage articles and Premium content available to users who sign up for DRAFT through RotoGrinders.
Editor’s Note: Use promo code “GRINDERS” when you sign up for Draft and get a 100% deposit bonus up to $600 and THREE months of RotoGrinders DRAFT Premium content (available late June/early July)!
RotoGrinders is excited to be working with DRAFT and will have tons of great content from some of the best minds in the fantasy football industry.

The rules of Best Ball on DRAFT are straightforward and easy to understand.
You will join a contest (typically 10 or 12 entrants, but it can vary) and once it has filled, the draft will start. Given a set time to make a draft pick, the contest entrants will each draft an 18-player team that, at a minimum, must have one QB, two RBs, three WRs, one TE, and one FLEX (an additional RB/WR/TE).
Each week, the eight highest scoring players for QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, TE, and FLEX (highest scored RB/WR/TE that hasn’t already had their score counted) will accumulate points for the team, while the other 10 scores will not count. The scoring system is as follows:
