These rankings are for the Best Ball fantasy football format available on Underdog Fantasy and DraftKings.

Best Ball is a wildly popular form of fantasy football that requires no roster management. Simply join one of the available tournaments on DraftKings or Underdog Fantasy, and draft your favorite 18 to 20 players from the available options. Each week the software will automatically construct your best possible lineup each on your behalf with no additional action required. The regular season champions of each 12 player league will advance in the tournament to compete for huge cash prizes in the final rounds.

We use our decades of combined fantasy football and data science experience to create a statistical fantasy football model for projecting future performance.

We accomplish this by using millions of data points that include but are not limited to:

Historical player usage: targets, touches, and opportunity
Play calling tendency including situational run vs. pass ratios
Route participation
Pass rate over expectation data
Coaching changes and tendency
Offensive line performance metrics
Defensive line performance metrics
Turnover and penalty data
Pace and play volume data
Scoring and drive efficiency data
Passing depth and efficiency
Receiving depth and efficiency
QB designed vs. scrambling yards
Age and Injury history
Positional rushing, target, and touchdown distributions
Alignment and personnel usage data
Opponent schedule and strength of competition

This information is the backbone of our projections, but because of the speculative nature associated with the National Football League each season, we must apply our own expertise in finalizing the inputs that formulate the rankings. We have a team of data science and fantasy football experts that consider all factors when ranking players. Player projections are the spine of the rankings, but important elements like upside potential and position scarcity are also included in the analysis. We test our rankings to ensure the results match the intentions.
