We're breaking down our Best Ball draft strategy for Week 2 on Drafters — roster construction, ADP value, and stacking tips to build a championship-caliber team. Plus, stick around for a bonus 3-leg…
So the weekly draft games on drafters, they have... a pretty solid amount of options.
If you were looking for a tournament style, that's going to be mostly what you see here at the top.
We have the Whale, which is their $11 entry, the Splash, which is $3.30, the Shark, which is a two quarterback $55 entry, as well as the Octopus, which is eight people, $8.88 entry fee with $8,000 in total prizes.
I think you're sensing a theme.
But they also have some smaller local contests if you want to get in on the action, but you don't necessarily want to leave it up to trying to win a giant tournament for a lot more money but if you have a huge bankroll have money that you feel comfortable spending you can see here they have two person tournaments for a thousand dollars and sixty three person tournaments 530 kind of the same bet all the way down just going down the line more local contests that you can also get into will probably take a little longer to get into that on drafters for sure but if you're patient if you have a good chunk of time blocked out that you want to do a lot of drafting you can do so here on drafters but let's go ahead and get into the rankings and get into some strategy so the first thing that you're going to notice especially if you have played daily best ball games on underdog before is that there are no rankings there are no adps average draft positions it is purely just names it is automatically sorted by the projection um which you know is Nice, for sure.
Not necessarily bad.
If you disagree with the projection or not is a different story, but it's basically the closest you're going to get to an ADP on drafters is sorting by projected.
So you pretty much just have to plan out how you want to draft.
um obviously you're not going to be able to get all of these players that you want and there's certainly still some strategy to not just taking the top projected player at every single position because let's be honest if you've played dfs at all if you've played any kind of weekly contest even regular redraft fantasy Your team can be projected for 150 points and you put up 67, or it can be projected for 150 points and you put up 205.
We just don't know.
That's why we play the game.
That's why we draft these teams.
