In Part 7 of this series, Kevin Szafraniec uses the historical information from RotoViz’s Best Ball Win Rate Explorer and Roster Construction Explorer to draft a team from the five slot in the FFPC Superflex Best Ball Tournament.
So far in this series, we have covered a lot of information:
- Part 1: Historical Win Rates By Draft Slot, League Winners, and Positional Heatmaps
- Part 2: Superflex Drafters Are Still Approaching the Quarterback Position Wrong
- Part 3: Don’t Overthink Running Back at the Top of Drafts
- Part 4: Wide Receiver is a Lesson in Restraint
- Part 5: Choose Your Own Adventure at Tight End
- Part 6: The Benefits and Pitfalls of Stacking
Over the final two installments of this series, I will be writing up two FFPC Superflex Best Ball Tournament drafts I recently participated in. In these contests, I drew the five and six slots in the draft order, allowing me to select a QB with my first pick in one draft and an RB with my first selection in the other. This allowed me to explore the two most successful starting points — depending on draft slot and excluding the 12 spot — for drafters over the past six years.
Throughout this exercise, I tried my best to follow the path that the Win Rate Explorer (WRE) and Roster Construction Explorer (RCE) were leading me on. It always bears mentioning that just because a strategy has worked in the past, it won’t automatically translate to the unique ADP environment we are presented with in a given year. Still, it is worthwhile to see what these historical trends look like when applied to the 2026 draft landscape.
For those who may be unfamiliar with the FFPC Superflex Best Ball Tournament, each draft consists of 20 rounds, and starting rosters feature one quarterback, two running backs, two wide receivers, one tight end, one traditional flex spot, and one superflex spot. Scoring settings are TE-premium, meaning TEs are awarded 1.5 points per reception while every other position operates under normal PPR scoring.
