2023 Underdog Top-240 Best Ball Rankings

These top-240 best ball rankings are geared towards Underdog Fantasy’s 0.5 PPR (half-point per reception) leagues.

Best Ball Mania 4 is open with 677,000 entrants and $15M in prizes ($25 entry). These rankings are made with these types of tournaments' top-heavy payout structures in mind.

Ideally, you’ll draft 2-3 QBs, 4-6 RBs, 7-10 WRs, and 2-3 TEs (18 roster spots) to your team and stacking is heavily encouraged.

Stacking is an if/then upside game.

For example, if you take Garrett Wilson early – then immediately bump up Aaron Rodgers in your rankings. Not only are you generating upside with Rodgers-Wilson’s combined fantasy points, you’re also solving another roster spot later in the draft (in this instance – QB).

In addition to this frequently updated article, our staff will also constantly update the individual and consensus Best Ball rankings.

Player takes really matter – but all Underdog best ball tournaments are a game of balancing opportunity cost, projections, game theory, and roster construction.

I highly encourage you to read my series on positional strategy first before digging into the rankings.
