In late July, DraftKings introduced a new variant to their array of NFL games: Best Ball. The DFS giant will host tournaments this upcoming season with buy-in levels of $3, $20, $333, and $1,000. The headliner for DK will be the $20 “Milly Maker” contest, which will award over $3,000,000 in prizes and $1,000,000 plus a Tournament of Champions ticket to the top finisher. More information on those tournaments can be found here: $3 tournament, $20 “Milly Maker”, $333 tournament, $1,000 tournament.
Competitors will take part in a 12-team Snake Draft. After each round, the highest scoring team advances with its existing roster. Winners will not need to draft a new team for each round. Rosters will consist of 20 players. DraftKings’ format is full-PPR and includes bonuses for 300-yard passing games and 100-yard rushing/receiving games.
The first question on our mind was “how can we get an edge on our opponents” in these games? The team at ETR has compiled their Best Ball Rankings specifically for this unique format along with a free strategy guide from Adam Levitan. Outlined in these pieces are tips on roster construction, position-by-position breakdowns, and notes on why you should and how to maximize your upside. Since payouts are so top-heavy, our goal is to finish at the very top of the overall leaderboard, and the reward for doing so is massive.
