Michael Hitchcock lays out why 2021 is the year of Joe Mixon. Don’t let past disappointments cloud your present judgment — Mixon finally finds himself in the best situation of his career to enter the season. I know what you are thinking when reading this headline. “Here we go again. No way am I letting Joe Mixon burn me yet again by wasting a high…...
The genie is out of the bottle in terms of best ball tournament drafters utilizing stacks hoping to hit the jackpot combination in the money-maker playoff rounds. While much of the conversation on stacking has been largely intuition and feel-based, the RotoViz Stack Analysis and Stack Explorer provides objective data to examine how stacks have historically fared in best ball leagues. Best Ball’s Most Popular…...
Shawn Siegele discusses the fantasy players he’s buying everywhere before they get too expensive in July. We’ve been focusing a lot lately on the Best Ball Workshop and How to Win $100,000 in the FFPC Best Ball Tournament. Frequent readers know how to structure their drafts and the loopholes they need to exploit. I’ll have more on fantasy tactics soon, but over the next week…...
Earlier this week I published Roster Locked Special Part 1: Exploit the Schedule to Win the FFPC $100,000 Best Ball Tournament as Shawn Siegele and I prepare for our Saturday draft on Roster Locked: A Best Ball Show. In Part 1 of this series, we focused on the NFL schedule and discussed our wariness of Week 14, the first week of the playoffs in this tournament…....
Shawn Siegele examines the behavior of drafters and explains why it gives us confidence in our 2021 draft plan. Zachary Kreuger and I are putting the final touches on our draft plan for the live Roster Locked FFPC $100,000 Best Ball Tournament draft on Saturday. Yesterday, Zach looked at some of the schedule-based elements as we try to run the Week 14-17 gauntlet. In my…...
Earlier this spring, Dave Caban and the powers that be at RotoViz were generous enough to give me a platform to host a weekly best ball live stream. For those that haven’t checked it out, you can tune into Roster Locked: A Best Ball Show, live on RotoViz’s YouTube channel. Shows generally air every Saturday (occasionally Friday) night around 7:00 PM EST or later. This…...
Quarterbacks are being drafted earlier than ever, making it essential we do our homework at the position. In a study I did last June, I found that quarterbacks generally score more points when they are favored. Specifically, they perform best when they are slight favorites (3.5 to 6.5 points), followed by clear favorites (-7 or better), then in toss-ups (-3 to +3), as slight underdogs…...
In his first look at the FFPC $100,000 best ball tournament, Shawn Siegele breaks down the early-round tactics that separate contenders and pretenders. We’ve written extensively on the FFPC Classic and Superflex options in best ball, helping you take down these contests with insights from the Best Ball Win Rate Explorer and the FFPC Roster Construction Explorer. Today we’ll jump into the FFPC $100,00 best…...
Shawn Siegele breaks down all 20 rounds of the 2021 MFL10 of Death and takes you behind the scenes with the Roster Construction Explorer. The MFL10 of Death VIII lived up to its name in 2021. Here’s an example: In normal leagues, 43 running backs and 50 wide receivers are going in the first 10 rounds. Our split was 36/56. That’s much more efficient drafting…...
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. Best Ball drafters are preoccupied with their favorite team stacks, game stacking opposing offenses in the fantasy playoffs, and taking on hyper- versus anti- fragile roster constructions. It’s important to consider…...
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…....
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. If it’s perceived as being “cool” or trendy, there’s a good chance they want it. Chances are, you want it too. Unfortunately, as is the case in both reality and fantasy, sometimes what we want isn’t what…...
Shawn Siegele explains why history says your best ball success in 2021 will come down to the decisions you make at tight end. I did select Darren Waller with the 2.06 in the MFL10 of Death, and I do like Waller as the TE2 this season. He’s one of the most unique physical talents in the NFL, and he’s coming off of two dynamic fantasy…...
Shawn Siegele is a three-time MFL10 of Death champion. He helps you prepare to be lucky by sharing his favorite best ball roster hacks during this week’s event. This is one of the most fun weeks in the fantasy calendar for me as I get to compete against my favorite people. Pat Thorman’s MFL10 of Death VIII kicked off on Monday, and you can track…...
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. The reason those high-end RB1s are so valuable is that there are so few of them. Most teams use a committee nowadays, which makes sense from a…...
Want to join our writers in winning big contests and turning your best ball entries into a money-making machine? Shawn Siegele helps explain how to generate win rates more than double the average in this edition of the Best Ball Workshop. This week I got a chance to talk to one of my favorite structural drafters – and one of my favorite fantasy writers overall…...
With the NFL Draft officially in the books, a quick look at the FFPC Exposures and ADP tool shows a number of players who were ignored pre-draft now going in the late rounds of FFPC best ball drafts. While there’s always risk incurred when drafting some of these late-round darlings at this point in the season, we shouldn’t dismiss them to lack of familiarity. But…...
It’s always fun to go out and execute a fantasy draft to perfection, right down to your final few picks. The problem is, knowing just who to select with those final two picks can feel like a real burden. On the one hand, we’re talking about players who could have upside. On the other, we are trying to find the proper balance of drafting a…...
The 2021 NFL Draft class is not your run-of-the-mill draft class. While the positional upside at non-QB positions could leave a bit to be desired, there’s a chance that we could see five quarterbacks taken in the first round of this year’s draft. As I continue to dive into best ball content and drafts, I find myself constantly questioning how we can benefit from drafting…...
Last week I took a look at FFPC best ball ADP, covering risers and fallers and the quarterback and running back position after a wild free agency period. This week, we’ll take a look at risers and fallers at wide receiver and tight end. Pre-free agency, we saw a handful of talented players go undervalued in drafts. Now, after joining new teams, drafters have re-awakened…...
