2024 Best Ball draft strategy: Nine top late-round values include Packers tight end, two rookies and more
You need to build a strong foundation in the first 10 rounds of a Best Ball draft. But we know from last year that uncovering those late-round gems like Kyren Williams, Sam LaPorta, or Puka Nacua are keys to Best Ball success. While you can't necessarily expect that level of breakout every year, there are definitely players that are drafted late that will massively outperform their ADP and give you important spike weeks.
Best Ball expert Megan Shoup has analyzed all 32 teams and, like the Houston Texans last year, has one that she thinks is being undervalued by the Best Ball community.
Shoup was a 2022 finalist in Best Ball Mania 3 on Underdog Fantasy, one of the biggest Best Ball competitions in the world, and she emerged from a field of 470,000 entries to finish inside the top 300. She also has a very good advance rate to the playoffs historically, reaching Best Ball's postseason with more than 25% of her entries.
Shoup has shared her full 2024 top 250 Best Ball rankings exclusively for SportsLine subscribers, and below, she breaks down her best late-round value in Best Ball drafts, defined as Rounds 13-18 on Underdog Fantasy, which is the last third of every draft. Here are the best players with an ADP of 145 or higher to target as late-round values, which include Packers tight end Luke Musgrave and a pair of rookies with immense potential.
So which rookies are must-haves at their average draft positions? And which six veterans join Luke Musgrave as players to target at the end of Best Ball drafts? ... Join SportsLine here to see Megan Shoup's top Best Ball late-round values, all from one of the nation's most knowledgeable experts!
