About this episode
It obviously takes some good luck to win a best-ball fantasy football tournament. But the process is about attacking edges to set yourself up to take advantage of those lucky breaks. That's especially true in a full-season format such as that on Drafters, as opposed to the weekly playoffs that finish some other best-ball tourneys. Ben Hauver won the 2021 regular-season tournament, so we invited him on to ask what worked, how DFS and best-ball play feed each other and how he's planning to keep the success going in 2022.
