Kevin Szafraniec evaluates the team stack data in RotoViz’s Best Ball Win Rate Explorer to pinpoint the combinations that have historically provided the most profitable returns in best ball leagues.
Anyone who plays best ball knows there are certain players “you have to have” every season to come out at the top of the leaderboard in large-scale tournaments. When we stack these players alongside other members of their offenses, it exponentially increases the odds of advancing through our pods during the fantasy playoffs and finding ourselves with a big payout at the end of the season.
However, there is a case to be made that not all stacks are created equal. For fantasy managers who go about building their rosters the wrong way, stockpiling assets on the same offense can actually do more harm than good.
In this exercise, we will jump into the Best Ball Win Rate Explorer (WRE) and look at how stacks have impacted the success of teams in FFPC Slim best ball leagues over the past six years. It is important to note that when we are talking about positional rankings in this article (i.e., WR1, WR2, WR3, etc.), we are making these distinctions using ADP, not end-of-season scoring.
For those who are unfamiliar, these leagues feature a 20-round draft and implement tight-end premium scoring (1.5 points per TE reception and 1.0 point per reception for every other position). Weekly starting lineups consist of: one quarterback, two running backs, two wide receivers, one tight end, and two standard flex spots.
