Is there anything out there like the Draft Best Ball tournament this year?

I have went back and read this whole thread. I had a free $20 milly entry. So much complaining. And I am sure a lot of complaints come from those who had free entries.
Maybe these contests have become too free!

I’ll be going into the final two weeks of the season long phase with a 120 point lead over 2nd. So I think it’s safe to say I clinched the first round. Just going to be knocking on every tree I see so that my team can stay healthy.

I’m currently in 3rd and have had the worst luck with injuries to my RBs. So much so that I’m looking at a 0 every week from one of my RB spots. Brutal

6 points away from breaking 2,000 in one of my $3 entries!

When does the first round end?

I have one milly entry. It was in first going into today but my qbs were Lamar lock and jimmy G. Had only a 10 pt lead. Somehow thanks to Latavius Murray I’m still leading but hopefully it stays that way. What a bad time for COVID to rear it’s ugly head.

Do the playoffs start next week or the week after?

One more week

Just under a 13 point lead at the end of tonight. I have Andrews but he has Covid so guess he is not playing. Also have Ju Ju and Ebron.
Opponent has Metcalf, D. Johnson and M Boykin.
Glad to see also the 2nd place guy in week 13 will be missing Brady and M Evans. While I am missing Ron Jones and C Samuel. His other Quarterbacks are Minshew and Lock. Really liking my chances to advance to the 2nd round.

Says round one goes until the 3rd,so I’m thinking Thursday is the start of playoffs.

Round 1 for DK at least is weeks 1-13 with 3 playoff rounds week 14, 15, and 16. Week 13 is the final week with teams on bye so it would be dumb if other sites have the playoffs start on a week with not every team scheduled to play.

Did anyone’s best ball leagues disappear from the contest tab on the DraftKings mobile app?

I can’t believe it’s going to come out a week 13 but it is with me my only tE it’s going to be Jimmy Graham. Hopefully he does something

had a small lead, but of course the 2 people i’m battling with have Henry and Hill

I think I will have one team make It through barring any 50 burgers next week

I got on best ball late for the last half of the season, but going to get in some for these last few weeks. What is the best strategy?? Clearly the one I went with didn’t see to work. I picked what I thought was great team but judging from middle of the pack finishes in all 3- 12 man leagues, there is something else I need to look into, any help ??

This is my first best ball year so not an expert or anything but I mainly tried to get a few RB’s first, then WR’s, and then QB. I basically approached it the same way I would with season long. I have some really bad teams also. I think i will do better next year

Since I’ve “clinched” my league. I’ve ironically been finding myself rooting against my guys, so that they will be lower owned in the championship rounds. A tyfreek 60 burger probably won’t help with that. I’ll be expecting a lot of Cook, Henry, Kamara at RB. Then SEA WRs, KC WR/TE, and Davante. Minny WRs have been a little under the radar as well. I hope DK shares player percentages of those who made it through. Would be interesting to see how many Saquon Barkley’s made it by having the nuts in the later rounds.

With week 12 finally over i just quickly scanned my best ball teams. I have 7 of 38 in first place with maybe 2 or 3 of those pretty much a lock to advance. I also have a handful of 2nd and 3rd place teams within striking distance going into the last week. I was pretty high on Antonio Gibson and got alot of James Robinson late in drafts so they have helped big time since for the most part alot of the top RBs have been hurt or underperformed. I really think alot of these leagues are won in the 4th thru 10thish rounds of the draft. I typically got 2 rbs early and then just hammered WR in the middle rounds and getting those right has helped too. Overall this has probably become my favorite way to play season long and here’s to hoping one of my lineups that makes it thru can win me a milly lol.

Anyone know if there is a way to see where your team ranks with other league teams. The reason I ask is the $3 didn’t fill and I’m curious how we will know if we get a wild card, or paid out for 4th or 5th in our league because of the shortage of players. I hope we don’t just have to take DraftKings word for it.
