Fixing Hyperfragile: Dominating with a Contrarian Approach
Conor O’Driscoll
May 24, 2022
Best Ball Mania III is a 451,600-entry tournament with a 470-team Week 17 final. Because of this, finding ways to build high-upside teams that are meaningfully different from the field is of the utmost importance.

Is Bully Tight End Viable in Best Ball Mania 3?
Madison Parkhill
May 19, 2022
As a former tight end, I’ve always had an affinity for using two elite tight ends. In Madden, I’m notorious among my friends for getting two elite ones, like George Kittle and Kyle Pitts, and using their combination of receiving and blocking ability to lock the defense into one personnel and smash them in a hurry-up offense. In short, I’m a full-on tight end nerd…....

4 Rookie Quarterbacks Slide All the Way Out of Round 1
Conor O’Driscoll
April 29, 2022
Just one quarterback was taken in the first round of the 2022 draft, which is the first time that’s happened since 2013. After writing The Rookie Quarterbacks Who Could Dominate 2022 Best Ball Leagues, it was obviously disappointing news for me. However, I do think there is some nuance to the picture and I will still be excited to the draft rookie QBs this year,…...
Biggest Best Ball Tournament Impacts and Reactions from Round 1
Conor O’Driscoll
April 29, 2022
The NFL has followed up the wildest offseason of our time with the craziest first round we’ve ever seen. Six wide receivers went in the opening stanza and even that was overshadowed by multiple NFL teams transforming their depth charts with trades involving high profile wide receivers. Today I’m looking at the WR news that changed the best-ball tournament landscape. For all of our player…...

Michael Hitchcock
April 25, 2022
With the NFL draft just a few days away, this means we are on the horizon of best-ball season. Right now, the rookies are the toast of the town, but we need to make sure we dig into these veteran players to see if their cost could present a potential value in drafts.

FFPC Never Too Early Tournament – Zero RB out of the 1.05
Madison Parkhill
April 22, 2022
This is the second of a three-part series analyzing my entries into the FFPC Never-Too-Early best ball tournament. This time, I drafted out of the 1.05. The NTE just filled, but many of the principles and decisions will remain when the FFPC releases its next tournament, likely shortly after the NFL draft. 1.05 – The options: Cooper Kupp, Justin Jefferson, or Ja’marr Chase The debate:…...
How Each Team Wins: Recapping the RotoViz Staff Underdog Best Ball Draft
Michael Dubner
April 18, 2022
The RotoViz Staff and Friends best ball draft on Underdog just wrapped up. It was our first staff draft of the season, and there were certainly some fun twists and turns. Perhaps the most surprising move was Zero RB Founding Father Shawn Siegele not drafting a WR through five rounds.

The Rookie Quarterbacks Who Could Dominate 2022 Best Ball Leagues
Conor O’Driscoll
April 17, 2022
The 2022 rookie quarterback class is widely regarded as one of the weakest in recent memory. Each player comes with notable red flags and their current Underdog ADPs reflect this. Malik Willis is the earliest of the crop at QB28 in the Superflex, while Kenny Pickett, Matt Corral, Desmond Ridder, and Sam Howell all go QB33, QB36, QB37, and QB40 respectively. The Underdog single quarterback…...

The Stars Are Aligned for a DeAndre Hopkins Bounceback, But Does That Make Him a No-Brainer?
Michael Hitchcock
April 13, 2022
We’re in the process of a RotoViz writers draft on Underdog, and as you might expect wide receivers were flying off the board early and often. I was lucky enough to draw the 1.01 where I selected Christian McCaffrey, but Shawn Siegele’s recent thoughts on what might be in store for Jonathan Taylor in 2022 already have me rethinking that selection. Since I was picking…...
