The set it and forget it nature of best ball leagues provides such an enjoyable format that making money on them almost seems trivial. You do, of course, want to put your best foot forward and hope to take first place in a few of these, just as you would in any fantasy league. To help you with that, be sure to read Justin Howe’s best ball primer. If you’ve never played this format and are considering jumping in, you should also consider taking advantage of this awesome DRAFT promotion that awards you a free Footballguys season-long pro subscription by simply depositing and playing $10.

Even if you don’t take advantage of that promotion, you most certainly should take advantage of the late-round players listed below. Per the consensus ADP rankings, everyone on this list falls short of the top-150 players, yet any one of them could help push your roster to the top of the standings by season’s end.

Quarterbacks

Case Keenum

Only Drew Brees logged a better a completion rate than Keenum last year, who finished the season with respectable fantasy numbers after taking over as the Vikings’ starter. From Week 6 on, he was the 10th-highest-scoring quarterback in the league thanks to a dynamic offense that featured Adam Theilen, Stefon Diggs, Kyle Rudolph, and a great offensive line. Keenum was far from dominant, but he did enough to lead his team to the NFC Championship, earning a two-year $36 million contract for his efforts.
