My Favorite Targets in Each Round of Early Underdog Drafts: Part 2 – The Correlation Picks

Best Ball Mania IV is in full swing, and player ADPs are becoming more rigid every day as drafters anchor to the number next to a player’s name. This situation gives savvy drafters an advantage though, as it makes it much easier to plan a draft round-by-round.

Using our Underdog ADP tool — now with the ability to show an ADP Draft Grid — we can find our favorite targets in every round and adjust our early-round structure accordingly. In the previous installment I looked at some of my favorite targets in the first half of the draft. Let’s continue by looking at how we can complement our early picks with some favorite late-round selections. As the offseason goes on, these are likely to change, and I will update this article periodically to reflect that.

Current ADP (as of May 31)

My favorite way to get a quick view of ADP and to get a sense of a player’s general range is to use the ADP Draft Grid view. This makes it easy to see the rounds in which I need to target my favorite players and to formulate a draft plan before the first pick is even made. Here’s a look at the final nine rounds from the last week of BBM4 drafts.

Can We Defeat Betteridge’s Law of Headlines? Is Brock Bowers Already the Best Tight End Ever?

A few weeks ago I asked whether Brock Bowers was already the TE1 in both redraft and dynasty. That was perhaps somewhat premature after Week 2, but the answer to both questions has since become obvious. I’m sensitive to Betteridge’s law of headlines, but at the very least my previous Bowers article provides a counterexample. After six weeks of 2024, Bowers is the TE1 in…...
