NFL Best Ball Rankings for Underdog & DraftKings

These rankings are for the Best Ball fantasy football format available on Underdog 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 and draft your favorite 18 to 20 players from the available options. Each week the software will automatically construct your best possible lineup 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.

Here at RotoGrinders, we use our decades of combined fantasy football and data science experience to create a statistical fantasy football model for projecting future performance.

Our team accomplishes accurate Best Ball rankings for fantasy football 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 runs 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 of the NFL each season, we must apply our own expertise in finalizing the inputs that formulate the Underdog Best Ball rankings and DraftKings Best Ball rankings. We have a team of data science and fantasy football experts that consider all factors when ranking players. NFL 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 NFL Best Ball rankings to ensure the results match the intentions.

Many fantasy players gravitate toward Best Ball since the lack of in-season management makes it a super easy way to get in on the action. Another format you might enjoy includes fantasy pick’em contests — check out our Underdog Picks and DraftKings Pick6 Picks for more helpful tools.
