theScore's Justin Boone was the winner of FantasyPros' Most Accurate Expert Competition in 2019, marking the seventh time he's placed in the top 10.
For those unfamiliar with best ball, this format involves drafting a roster of players without the pressure of deciding who to start. You're aiming for upside since fantasy owners' starters will be their top weekly performers at every position.
Given the depth at the position and the ability to build a stable of two or three passers later in the draft, quarterbacks normally go off the board later in best ball compared to other fantasy formats. The fact you don't have to stress over which signal-caller to play each week makes late-round quarterbacks even more appealing.
Team defenses should always be selected near the end of the draft, so reserve two or three roster spots for them in the final rounds.
