How to Prioritize Scooping Value in Your Best Ball Drafts: Adjusted ADP Value Reveals Some Surprising Positional Strategies

As the 2023 home league draft season kicks into gear, I’m reminded of the frustratingly sharp Underdog average draft position (ADP) landscape. I’m cruising through home league drafts, snagging fifth-round Christian Watson, sixth-round Brandon Aiyuk, and seventh-round Jahan Dotson with ease. In Underdog best ball drafts?

Can You Go Too Far In Scooping ADP Value?

The frenzied search for quantifiable edges in best ball tournaments is heating up this offseason with average draft position (ADP) value emerging as one of the most promising. ADP value is a metric that quantifies the extent to which a drafter is reaching or scooping falling players throughout the draft.

Double-Digit Draft Slots Could be the Key to Countering the WR Avalanche

Bjorn Yang-Vaernet shares why he thinks double-digit best ball draft slots could have a big advantage again in 2023. Over a large enough sample size, best ball drafters should get every draft slot once in every 12 drafts.

This Cheap Underdog Hack Allows You to Create a Dominant Advantage at All Positions

Shawn Siegele explores the evidence for a cheap Underdog hack that helps you dominate all positions and pushes your advance rates through the roof.

How To Crush Your Draft From The 12 Spot: Flexible Stack Options and Tournament-Winning Upside

The $125 Best Ball Tournament over on FFPC is a great format to draft in. It adds two extra rounds compared to Underdog and it has the element of tight end premium scoring.
