Draft Advice: Tips on player picks and team-building.
#8987
The RazzSlam has kicked off, and it’s time to dive into the wild world of Best Ball fantasy leagues! For those who might be new to this format, it’s a unique experience where you draft a team, and the computer takes care of the rest, selecting your best players each week. This raises some intriguing questions about strategy and player value.

Let’s talk about the draft strategy. With the RazzSlam being a 42-round draft, how do you approach building your roster? Do you prioritize high-upside players, or do you lean towards consistency? Given that pitching seems to be less valuable in points leagues, as highlighted by the stats showing hitters like Bryce Harper and Tarik Skubal scoring similarly, how do you balance your roster between hitters and pitchers?

And speaking of strategy, what are your thoughts on the unpredictability of Best Ball leagues? Is it truly a game of luck, or can skillful drafting make a significant difference? Some might argue that the randomness of player performance can level the playing field, while others believe that a well-thought-out strategy can still shine through.

Let’s also consider the implications of the Best Ball format on player selection. Are there players you’re avoiding because of their inconsistency, or are you willing to take risks on boom-or-bust types? How do you feel about the idea of “BestBall” extending beyond fantasy sports into everyday life? Would you want a world where decisions are made for you, or do you relish the thrill of making those choices yourself?

Share your thoughts, predictions, and experiences with Best Ball leagues! What strategies have worked for you in the past, and what bold predictions do you have for this season? Let’s get the conversation rolling!
