NFL Free Agency and Trade Impact on FFPC Best Ball ADP 3/15

Daylight Savings Market Report - Carlos Hyde and Antonio Brown Market Movement

In the world of chess, there is game theory around "the opening move".  In fantasy drafts, it's a similar situation. How you draft your first few players lays the groundwork for your draft.  We dove into the the past two years of FFPC Best Ball (non superflex) draft data and looked at team win rate in relation to the positions selected with their first two picks. Would we see patterns?  It's commonly said that you can't win your draft in the first two round, but you can lose it. There seems to be evidence of that.  We'll discuss the best and worst opening moves based on the win rates of the teams, along with some patterns that seemed to be evident based on positions that were drafted.  It will be helpful to follow along with the visual aid here.

The Opening Move in FFPC Best Ball Drafts

We participated in a live FFPC $35 Best Ball Draft on Sunday night (3/3) of the NFL combine weekend.  We go round by round for the first half of the draft, discussing team approaches, and the psychological difference between a live draft versus a slow draft.  At the end of the draft we analyze the final roster construction applied by each team, and refer to our 2018 Best Ball Win Rate data to see if anyone strayed too far off the path of what would be considered a reasonable team composition.  FFPC is a TE premium format (1.5 PPR) with the other positions receiving 1 PPR.  The starting lineups, to be optimized in this best ball format, are: 1 QB ,  2 RB , 2 WR , 1 TE,  2 Flex (RB,WR,TE), 1 K, 1 D The draft board being reviewed is here OR Visit the "PODCAST" page at Fantasymojo.com for a LINK.

Draft Review - Live FFPC $35 Best Ball Held Sunday 3/3 (Post NFL Combine)

Quick thoughts and observations from the Live FFPC Best Ball 35 draft that went off Friday night March 3rd.  P Seems the NFL combine performances are already affecting player value significantly in the draft rooms.   Always good to review the draft boards from a Live draft, rather than wait weeks for ADP to reflect changes in player value. The draft board being discussed is here.
