The Fantasy Football fever has gripped the United States and if you are feeling the chills too, check out Underdog Fantasy Best Ball. I like to say that this format requires minimum effort but potentially offers maximum rewards.
It is a more automated approach to making your picks on a DFS site and is an emerging Fantasy Football format in the US. So if you don’t like to make a lot of predictions and track each team’s performance every week, the Best Ball format could be ideal for you.
When you are playing Underdog Fantasy Best Ball, you have to draft your lineup but once you are done, the lineup is managed by the platform. The lineup is drafted at the start of the season and for the rest of the season, it doesn’t change.
Many players complain that they love Fantasy Football but the manual process of reviewing Underdog Fantasy rankings every week and then drafting the best players from that week can be very tedious. Luckily, the platform can do this work for you. It pulls the best-performing players from your lineup and puts them in the starting lineup each week.
The scoring for Underdog Fantasy Best Ball is done automatically by the platform. Each week, the platform scores you based on the highest-scoring players on your roster for that week. This ensures that you do not have to keep track of the score each week.
If you want to kick back and enjoy the benefits without putting in too much manual work, the Underdog Fantasy Best Ball format is ideal for you. With the Underdog Fantasy Best Ball format, you can participate in daily and weekly contests, playoffs, and season-long contests.
I had previously explained the Underdog Fantasy Pick’em rules in a separate article and if you read that, you’ll see that Pick’em is a more manual game than Best Ball. You need to review player projections and make your picks manually in Pick’em, whereas Best Ball makes the draft more automatic.
