Shawn Siegele explores three races best-ball drafters have to win in 2024 and helps you hit the tape first with tactics from the RotoViz tools and research.

The 2024 MFL10 of Death began last week in its 11th incarnation. This charity league organized by Pat Thorman includes 11 of my favorite fantasy analysts. As a one-off league with full-season scoring, it allows fantasy’s best minds to select their flag-plant players and execute their preferred constructions.

The MFL10 of Death offers the perfect environment in which to discuss seasonal trends, individual player selections, and 2024 tactical opportunities.
