In the world of chess, there is game theory around "the opening move". In fantasy drafts, it's a similar situation. How you draft your first few players lays the groundwork for your draft.

We dove into the the past two years of FFPC Best Ball (non superflex) draft data and looked at team win rate in relation to the positions selected with their first two picks. Would we see patterns?

It's commonly said that you can't win your draft in the first two round, but you can lose it. There seems to be evidence of that.

We'll discuss the best and worst opening moves based on the win rates of the teams, along with some patterns that seemed to be evident based on positions that were drafted.

It will be helpful to follow along with the visual aid here.
