best ball strategy

Good to see you all back! For those of you who haven’t yet read my first installment, check it out here.

In each build, I had between two and four QBs, five and seven RBs, six and eight WRs, two and three TEs. Let’s take a look at how many of these builds ended up in the money!

Too bad I didn’t have a crystal ball, because
