Shawn Siegele uses the Best Ball Explorers and best ball research concepts from Michael Dubner and Blair Andrews to build a case for some unlikely options.
Getting to co-manage drafts with some of the top minds in the game is one of my favorite parts of working with best ball gurus like Conor O’Driscoll, Michael Dubner, and Zachary Krueger. I’m in drafts with all of them currently, and we’ll continue to generate content focusing on how we’re using the Underdog Roster Construction Explorer to build our teams.
The RCE and the Underdog Advance Rate Explorer have been very popular, and some of the related content has been a big hit with readers. Just to provide a few examples . . .
Don’t Overthink Best Ball Mania Rosters: Anchor RB Edition – Conor O’Driscoll
Drafting Early Has Its Advantages – Best Months to Draft – Michael Dubner
Why Best Ball Mania Hinges on the TE Position – Blair Andrews
Is Bully TE Viable in Best Ball Mania III? – Madison Parkhill
In today’s exercise, we’re going to look at a method for creating upside and uniqueness that is both inexpensive and discounted. (I mention those last two elements separately, because we can all name players drafted outside the top-100 picks who don’t represent any type of discount.)
I’m going to start with a look at Michael’s research on Functional Fantasy Points that may help you simultaneously avoid trap players and locate sneaky values.
