Tiers For Drafting: Drafters Best Ball (UPDATES 9AM DAILY)

Rankings can’t tell the whole story. The goal of every sharp drafter (aka you) is to understand the tiers within each position so that we know when to wait for a player and, if a particular position is thin while you’re on the clock, when to pounce. If you’re in Round 3 and want a WR, knowing how long you can wait (if at all) to select one before that tier has been blown up is crucial. Utilizing our Drafters Tiers for fast and slow drafts will make your choices easier, providing a clear plan with backup options in case you’re sniped from our rankings.

Keep in mind that Drafters is a unique best ball structure where there are no end-of-season playoffs, but rather one season-long contest. Whichever drafter has the most points throughout the season wins the top prize of $500,000. While a lot of the core concepts such as roster construction and getting ADP value still apply, there are some unique aspects we should be considering to get an edge. We highly recommend you read our Drafters Position Allocation article before diving in.
