An Introduction to Best-Ball Basics

For years the downside to being a draft-aholic was realizing a few weeks into the season that the time and energy associated with setting a few dozen fantasy football lineups every week takes a lot of the fun out of the game. But between the ever-popular BB10s at NFFC, DRAFT once again offering a multi-million dollar best-ball tournament, and countless other best-ball options available out there, the popularity of this particular format continues to increase steadily. With the opening of NFL training camps this past week, fantasy football season is about to get into full swing. It’s likely those of us who play in dynasty leagues probably knocked out our rookie drafts months ago. But most redraft and keeper formats often don’t tee up their draft day until mid-August at the earliest. This means that despite the non-stop stream of NFL news and fantasy implications we diehards are eating up on an hourly basis, we’re actually in a bit of an activity lull right now. This period is the perfect time of year to start pulling the trigger on best-ball drafts, particularly if, like me, you love to draft fantasy football teams.
