Stacking in Best Ball is the act of influencing variance by selecting players who can perform well in tandem. As example, a quarterback and wide receiver have correlated performance because they both accrue stats at the same time. In Best Ball tournaments, the theory is that stacking best ball teams will increase your volatility and therefore your chances of reaching the highest peaks in a given week should one of your stacks perform well. Only the top teams advance, and receive the largest payouts in the final week.
We have curated the top picks from our Best Ball Rankings and created this table to help quickly identify players to target for your best ball stacks. Factors that we considered in making our selections:
- Overall projections including floor and ceiling
- Average draft position (ADP) vs. Performance expectations
- Best Ball format and prize award structure
- Opponent expected behaviors and tendency
- Playoff schedule and end game strategy
We offer up the rated list of stacks to target, expected range of the draft to target each player, and an assessment of the draft capital you must invest. Use this cheat sheet to quickly identify stacks to target in this season’s best ball drafts by balancing the projections and average draft position.
