Deep Sleepers: Drafters Best Ball

If you’re on the clock in the 15th round, you shouldn’t be thinking about getting unique with players who aren’t being drafted in every league. That’s too big of a reach. 

But in the 19th round of a large-field best ball tournament like Drafters’ Million Championship, it’s a winning strategy. That’s because it can separate our teams during the best ball playoffs. In other words, the real +EV bet is scrolling down for players who are not being drafted to avoid overlapping with other rosters via unique usability.

The following is an ETR aggregated list of unique players to scroll down for in the last two rounds of the Million Best Ball Championship. This list will be updated weekly throughout the offseason as players gain steam and no longer meet the minimum 216 ADP threshold.

1. Saints WR A.T. Perry

Perry’s rookie campaign included a stint on the inactive list for the first half of the year, a 35-yard touchdown under the lights of Thursday Night Football, and being benched for lazily running a route that led to a Derek Carr pick-six. Michael Thomas‘ absence not only vacates 6.4 targets per game but lends Perry, a 96th-percentile athlete with a pterodactyl-like 6-foot-10 wingspan, an opportunity to build on last year’s 1.31 Yards Per Route Run, 15th among all rookie wideouts with 10+ targets. (Not too shabby for a sixth-rounder.)
