This will be the 2nd last full update prior to the regular season. Have fun with your drafts!

Link to Ranks is below the paywall.

I’ve covered this in greater detail if you read the old ranks posts for best ball and FFPC. But here’s a mini-recap on the settings and principles for these ranks:

BEST BALL = Underdog

  • Scoring / roster settings: 0.5 PPR, 1QB, 2RB, 3WR, 1 Flex, 1TE

  • These ranks are also calibrated to the underdog ADP market and aim to roughly marry my ranks with my desired exposures over a portfolio of drafts (subject to stacking and team construction considerations)

REDRAFT = FFPC

  • Because my content and my play is tournament focused that’s what I’m ranking for. FFPC’s tournaments are a regular redraft league for Weeks 1-12 with league playoffs in Weeks 13-14, then a final shootout for the top prizes in Weeks 15-17.

  • The scoring / roster settings are FULL PPR, 0.5 TEP, 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 2 Flex, 1 TE.

  • If you are drafting in your home league without a TEP, fair to devalue the TEs a touch, but I also value them more highly the shallower the rest of your league is. If there are fewer WR/Flex slots, you can devalue that position slightly as well. The positional ranks are mostly the same as I’d use in a standard redraft league, with possible exception of being a little heavier on some rookies and injured players in this format with the sprint at the end.
