Swinging for the Fences: A Retrospective Review of The Dinger 2023

Author: Billy Jones Introduction What’s up fantasy sports fam? Welcome back to my blog. It’s great to be back writing again after a brief hiatus, as I have been full send on creating and publishing fantasy football visualizations on Twitter and bought a house. Today, I am excited to reconnect with you all by diving into the sport that is my true love, baseball, through a retrospective review of The Dinger 2023 hosted by Underdog Fantasy data.  Although I sat out this tournament last year, I'm gearing up to launch multiple entries in the upcoming 2024 tournaments. But before I dive headfirst into the action, I thought it prudent to dissect the meta from the previous year. Understanding the dynamics, strategies, and outcomes from the 2023 event will undoubtedly provide me with valuable insights to fine-tune my approach for the upcoming competitions. While this exercise is primarily retrospective and descriptive in nature, mining insights from the past can be the catalyst for crafting

2024 Early Best Ball Full In-Depth Deep Dive

Author: Chris Buonagura (@valuedraftpicks) Introduction: I do not expect people to read this but I am posting it for accountability in 2024. This guide is based entirely off ADP from Underdog’s Big Board early 2024 Fantasy Football Contest. The goal is to be predictive and get ahead of ADP trends to create a contest-winning strategy.  In 2023, I finished 327th overall in Best Ball Mania 4 and tied for 3rd in the Mitten (playoff Best Ball contest). I did not identify and hit on Puka Nacua or Sam LaPorta in 2023. However, my exposure portfolio had an abundance of hits (all drafted over 15%),  including: Kyren Williams, Devon Achane, Jayden Reed, Josh Downs, Gus Edwards, Michael Pittman, Mike Evans, David Njoku, and Tre McBride.  Overall Strategy: This guide will provide desired player exposure at ADP and written notes/thoughts on each team. I included all players with a relevant ADP and some fringe players just for reference. Each player has their current Underdog ADP (February 2024), th

Swinging for the Fences: Pitching Production

Author: Billy Jones Introduction What’s up fantasy sports fam? I’m thrilled to have you back for another deep dive into fantasy sports data. Following the exploration of the strategic intricacies of The Dinger 2023 in the last post, it's time to focus the lens of our investigation on the pitcher's mound. In our previous Underdog MLB post, I noted the undeniable power that steering clear of an early investment in pitchers had on advance rates. The success of this approach in The Dinger 2023 left me wondering if this was it a function of what happened in 2023, or could this drafting strategy be the skeleton key to success in the Underdog draft rooms? So, join me as I peel back another layer of secrets, digging into the data with the goal of helping you shape a winning drafting strategy for the upcoming 2024 tournaments. Let's dive in and find out! Data Source The scope of this investigation will include both The Dinger 2023 and 2022 contest data. The Dinger 2023 boasted 54,98
