Best Ball team structure?

[keebs3]

Just curious, how do you guys like to structure your teams for Best Ball?

My team 2 is a Best Ball League and we start 2QB 2RB 2WR 1FLEX 1TE 1DEF. Only 10 teams- 25 man rosters and 2 taxi.

Would you want as much depth at RB as QB? Do studs matter more than depth? Curious on how you would go about structuring your team.

Like with any setup, different strategies can be effective. There is no single blueprint.

I start by recognizing the effect that best ball has on certain players. The reliable players with a high floor and low ceiling are only desirable if you can acquire them cheaply at a position that you have otherwise punted. Guys that have a few monster games and a few duds are far more valuable in best ball than in line-up leagues: you never have to guess when to start them. So, if Player A gets 10 points in two consecutive weeks and Player B gets 20 than 0, in a position where I have nothing then I want Player A. In a position with depth, then I want Player B.

Another tactic is to double-down on pass-catchers from the same productive offense. If you have Brown, it might be worth spending a little more on Juju: There will be plenty of weeks where both have start-worthy games, and, if one has a dud, odds are that the other has a monster. This is usually not a viable strategy in line-up leagues.

Other than that, it's really the same as any other league: figure out what the other guys are over-valuing or under-valuing and go from there.

You need 2 solid QBs in bestball also a nice stable of RBs and WRs. In best ball studs don’t mean as much at least not to me, depth and a lot of options at each position is huge in best ball
