Below are the Spike Week Top 40 rankings for NFL Weekly Snake Draft contests – specifically for the Main Slate. The rankings use a combination of RotoGrinders daily fantasy projections, positional scarcity, ADP and game theory to create a top 40 overall players for your drafts.
The rankings can be used for Underdog Fantasy, Drafters Fantasy, DraftKings or any other platform offering Snake Draft contests. These contests are referred to as “Battle Royale” contests on Underdog.
Note: the rankings attempt to incorporate roster construction and correlation as best as possible, but the drafter is unlikely to be able to draft straight off the list if they hope to draft teams that take into account factors like correlation and stacking.
Note: the rankings are set up for the MAIN SLATE each week, based off the tournaments on Underdog Fantasy. This is typically the normal Sunday slate with games kicking off at 1 PM ET and approximately 4 PM ET. This is subject to change based on scheduling and contests offered for each week.
These rankings will be posted by approximately 9 AM Eastern every Tuesday morning, and will be updated on an ad-hoc basis if news, injury reports or other factors dictate that updates are needed.
