About Me at Best Ball Bandit

Most people play fantasy football like it’s a weekly guessing game.

I started treating it like a system.

• What is this player’s true cost?
• Where is the mispriced upside?
• How do you build a roster that can actually win first place?

That mindset led me deeper into game theory and best ball formats, where the edge isn’t managing a team—it’s drafting one correctly from the start.

And that’s where everything clicked.

I don’t draft for safety.

I don’t draft to finish in the middle.

I draft to win the entire tournament.

That means:

• Targeting upside over floor
• Exploiting ADP inefficiencies
• Building correlated rosters (stacks)
• Understanding playoff weeks (15–17)
• Using cost-based decision-making instead of narratives

Because in best ball, second place doesn’t matter.
