NFL Best Ball & Fantasy Football Player Projections

Below are our Player Projections for 2023 NFL Best Ball and Fantasy Football. Because Best Ball is a weekly game, we have built our projections in a weekly format. Season long cumulative projections can be helpful, but ultimately what we are looking for is the players who can outscore their peers in a given week, not only throughout the entire season but also in the fantasy playoffs and the Week 17 championship final.

Projection notes & assumptions:

These are median projections. They do not (yet) show you the ceiling or floor for each player.
The projections are assuming a net neutral matchup for all teams and players.
The projections assume all players are healthy, including players currently recovering from injury (I.E. Breece Hall and Javonte Williams) or players on suspension (I.E. Jameson Williams)
330 total players are shown here in the projections. Players projecting for less than 1.5 PPR points are not shown.

The Ultimate Resource to CRUSH your Best Ball Drafts.

We created the first ever suite of tools, rankings, strategy and analysis specifically dedicated to Best Ball.

Built by Best Ball players for Best Ball Players, the Spike Week tools were crafted to solve the problems we all had as drafters. Whether that’s the DraftIQ Exposure and Portfolio tool to help you see anything and everything about your teams and player combinations on EVERY site, the Draft Buddy Browser Overlays to make drafting so much easier or simply rankings and strategy designed specifically for Best Ball tournaments – not just standard fantasy advice.

If you aren’t satisfied with the product for any reason, just shoot us an email or contact Erik Beimfohr directly in our Free Discord, and we will refund you within the first 48 hours.
