2024 Top 250 DraftKings Best Ball Rankings

August 28, 2024 4:57pm EDT

These top 250 best ball fantasy football rankings are geared toward DraftKings tournaments.

DraftKings uses PPR scoring and awards 3-point bonuses for QBs who go over 300 passing yards and for RBs and WRs who go over 100 yards rushing and/or receiving. This provides a little help to the non-mobile QBs who don’t have any rushing upside but do go over 300 passing yards with regularity (like Derek Carr).

These rankings are made with these tournaments' top-heavy payout structures in mind. Every draft is 20 rounds.

Ideally, you’ll draft 2-3 QBs, 6-9 RBs, 8-10 WRs, and 2-3 TEs (20 roster spots) to your team. Stacking is heavily encouraged.

Be sure to read my DraftKings Strategy Guide where I walk through optimal roster construction, players to target, and how the market differs from other best ball sites.
