FAQ
When does this product launch?
A few days after the NFL Draft.
How much does this product cost?
$39.99/year.
Will the best ball product be a part of any bundles?
No, our 2024 best ball product is a standalone product and will not be offered as part of a bundle.
What is the overall goal of this product?
We’re aiming to provide the highest-quality best ball fantasy football content. This means that we want to provide subscribers with resources they need to compete and win at best ball. Our approach starts with rankings that are continuously updated, and are the foundation of how you should approach drafts. Alongside our rankings, you will find content which provides context and strategy for approaching best ball. We understand that your time is valuable; we aren’t trying to overload you with unnecessary content or attention-grabbing hot takes. Consider your subscription a tool to be used alongside your own research to help you compete and win this summer.
Why is this a separate product from Draft Kit Pro?
A big emphasis of ours for 2024 is covering all formats of season long fantasy better. One part of this addition is significantly improving our best ball coverage. Because many of our Draft Kit Pro customers don’t play best ball, we felt it was better to create a new product rather than forcing all Draft Kit Pro customers to incur additional costs. This new structure will give us more flexibility to make this product even better for our subscribers.
How often are rankings updated?
Our rankings update daily at 9:00 a.m. ET. Oftentimes we will push changes multiples times per day in the event of big news such as a key injury, trade, or other significant event.
How often is content updated?
This depends on the specific content. We have pieces of content that are updated weekly, such as our Best Ball Market Report or Late-Round Targets. Some of our more evergreen articles that cover general strategy for best ball are updated infrequently or not at all. Our goal is to update content as much as we think it needs to be for you to be successful.
Does using this product guarantee I will win at best ball?
No. In fact, best ball contests are getting more competitive each year. It is difficult to win due to this aspect, and also the top-heavy nature of many of the contests, whereby most entrants will lose and a small percentage will receive a very large payout. However, we do feel that our content can be used as an important part of a smart approach to drafting, and are doing our best to more than justify any subscription fees you pay.
When does this product end?
2024 coverage ends after opening kickoff of the 2024 NFL season. For those who continue to subscribe, the product will restart after the 2025 NFL Draft.
