If you don't play best ball, you'll find some solid tips for your first foray into that world. If you stick to redraft, you can find some interesting trends in ADP changes....
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 ...
The best part of fantasy football hands down is drafting. Best ball formats allow the fantasy player to draft a team and then forget it. No weekly conundrums on who to pick off the waiver wire, or who to start. Draft your favorite upside players and sit b...
