Rankings in Best Ball are a wonderful tool but they need to be used thoughtfully, not just followed blindly. For one, if you just follow rankings blindly, you’re going to be doing the same thing as everyone else who’s using those same rankings. For two, it’s going to lead to suboptimal roster construction and if you’re building a portfolio of multiple rosters (which most people are), some extreme exposures.
If you’re building a bunch of rosters on Underdog, one of the simplest measurements you can use is to look at your player exposures. All players who are drafted in (just about) every draft are going to be roughly 8.3% owned by the field (they’re picked in every draft and there are 12 teams, so 12/100). So, if you have more than that, you’re overweight the field, and if you have under that, you’re underweight the field. Easy peasy, right?
There’s a new game in town…
And the edges are real.
