Michael Dubner
June 3, 2021
With the popularity of best ball tournaments on Underdog Best Ball Mania, DraftKings Millionaire and Play Action, FFPC Best Ball Tournament, and Drafters Best Ball Championship, game theory has overtaken the best ball world.

Five Tight Ends to Target in the Late Rounds of Best Ball Drafts
Neil Dutton
June 3, 2021
When it comes to tight ends in fantasy football, the accepted wisdom is that you either take them early in drafts, or you take them late. In 2021, taking one early would likely mean spending a first-round pick on Travis Kelce, or landing George Kittle in the second. Or perhaps you really keep your powder dry and wait until round three to land Darren Waller…....

Zachary Krueger
May 31, 2021
Like product loyalists lining the outside of a store for the latest drop in technology, fantasy drafters flock to draft lobbies looking to acquire anything new and exciting.

RotoViz TriFlex Dynasty and Why Trading Back Is a Win-Now Tactic – The Wrong Read, No. 71
Blair Andrews
May 30, 2021
The goal in any dynasty league is, or at least should be, to put yourself in what Shawn Siegele has called the Permanent Championship Window (PCW). Proponents of the PCW look at the debate between win-now and win-later strategies and ask, “why not both?” Suppose you could win in Year 1 … and also in Year 2, Year 3, and beyond. If winning now and…...

Mind the Gap: Relative ADP at Running Back and the Psychology of Overconfidence
Jack Miller
May 24, 2021
Everyone wants to draft Christian McCaffrey and Dalvin Cook. They’re probably the two best players in fantasy, and adding an elite running back to your squad in Round 1 gives you a massive leg up over your opponents.
