NFL DRAFT DFS: 2018 Best Ball Rankings (DRAFT.com)

Why do you need another DFS site? Because DRAFT combines the excitement of a season-long draft into one set of games! Available from now until the start of the NFL season are “Best Ball” drafts. If you have seen them in the lobby and have not tried them out yet, this article has some pre-draft rankings all set for you to jump into some NFL DRAFT DFS action!

Welcome to the second of two installments of NFL DRAFT DFS, covering best ball drafts on DRAFT.com from FantasyCPR. Now that we have the ins and the outs of best ball drafts out of the way, it is time to move ahead with some rankings. I am done with five drafts at this point, and plan to do five more before fine tuning my rankings and presenting them here. If you missed the first part of this best ball series, it can be found here.

NFL Best Ball Drafts:

We won’t waste much time with recapping anything, but really quickly, a best ball draft is a season-long league on DRAFT. Simply draft 18 players for the whole season. No trades or waivers. DRAFT automatically takes your highest scorers of the week to give you a weekly score. All scores are cumulated throughout the season over the 16 weeks, and payouts follow at the end of the season.

So now that my warm up drafts are complete, my rankings will be posted here, and it will be my top 216 overall. For a 12-team league, there are 216 players drafted, so my expectation is for these rankings to cover the larger field drafts completely. I will go 36 deep at quarterback and tight end, and 72 at running back and wide receiver. Let’s proceed to the rankings!

NFL DRAFT DFS: QB Rankings

My rankings should be pretty easy to follow. I have ranked the top 216 overall. Rankings are broken down into positions by slides, starting here with quarterbacks. Following each players name will be their overall ranking in parenthesis. These rankings will of course change over the course of now through the preseason, so maybe we can refresh them with an update closer to the season? I guess it will depend if there is any interest. Without further delay, I present to you the quarterback rankings!
