Sadly, New York has ceased allowing Underdog to operate fantasy football best ball contests in their state. As a New York resident, that means I must pivot to another provider until Underdog is allowed to run contests in my home state again. Thankfully, I completed 40 pre-NFL Draft best ball drafts before New York residents were abruptly cut off from playing fantasy football best ball at Underdog.

The following players at quarterback, running back, wide receiver and tight end are on at least six (15%) of my rosters. In addition to highlighting my most-rostered fantasy football best ball players, I’ll provide a few players I intended to get more exposure to in future drafts before New York pulled the rug out from under me.

Fantasy Football: Most-Rostered Underdog Best Ball Players (March)

Quarterbacks

Josh Allen climbed from tied for my second-highest rostered quarterback with Bo Nix at 22% in Underdog best ball leagues at the end of February to my top spot in this update. Interestingly, the five quarterbacks on this month’s table are the same as those on last month’s table, albeit in a different order. J.J. McCarthy is positioned to lead Kevin O’Connell’s QB-friendly offense with top-shelf pass-catching weapons, and he climbed to my second-highest rostered quarterback after completing 17 more drafts since the end of February.

Shifting gears, I intended to get more exposure to Jayden Daniels (13% roster rate), Joe Burrow (8%), Lamar Jackson (8%) and Matthew Stafford (10%) before the NFL Draft. Increasing my exposure to Daniels, Burrow and Jackson would have helped me slightly reduce my roster rate for Allen.

Daniels’ stacking options beyond Terry McLaurin became clearer after the Commanders traded for Deebo Samuel and re-signed Zach Ertz and Noah Brown. The Bengals extended Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins and re-signed Mike Gesicki, eliminating any potential offseason distractions for Burrow’s best pass-catching weapons. The Ravens haven’t traded Mark Andrews, re-signed Ronnie Stanley to protect Jackson’s blindside and added DeAndre Hopkins to the receiving corps, adding a backdoor stacking option to the mix. Finally, the Rams didn’t trade Stafford, and they swapped in Davante Adams for Cooper Kupp, enhancing the appeal of the veteran pocket passer.

Running Backs

LeQuint Allen and Ray Davis are still my two highest-rostered running backs in Underdog best ball, but they’ve dipped from 57% and 48% last month to 50% and 40%, respectively. I remain heavily interested in Davis as an undervalued handcuff whose ADP would skyrocket if James Cook‘s dissatisfaction with playing in the final year of his rookie contract led to a holdout or trade. Allen’s a fine last-round dart because of his receiving chops, but he’s less interesting after bypassing running the 40-yard dash at the NFL Draft Combine and falling in Todd McShay’s running back rankings.

Since I’m not enamored with Kyren Williams at his best ball average draft position (ADP), Blake Corum is a leverage pick. RJ Harvey and Bhayshul Tuten were winners at the NFL Draft Combine. Harvey tallied an 8.94 Relative Athletic Score (RAS), and Tuten erupted for a 9.24 RAS.

Unfortunately, I ended up with just 13% exposure to Omarion Hampton. I would have targeted him in future best ball drafts. Hampton netted an eye-popping 9.78 RAS. Moreover, according to Grinding the Mocks, Hampton has an expected draft position of 22.2, putting him firmly in the first round.

Najee Harris and Jordan Mason were winners at the start of the NFL’s new league year. Harris signed with the Chargers, and the Vikings traded for Mason. The former must still avoid the Chargers spending a premium pick on a running back in a loaded draft class, but I definitely would have begun adding him to my portfolio after drafting him on zero percent of my 40 teams. I picked Mason on only one of my teams, but he’s undervalued with an ADP of 156.4 (RB48) and should be selected closer to Tank Bigsby (124.5 ADP as RB38) and Tyjae Spears (137.7/RB39).

Wide Receivers

Khalil Shakir is an undervalued floor-setting wide receiver, and his roster rate and Keon Coleman‘s are inflated by Allen being my most-rostered quarterback.

This year’s rookie wide receiver class isn’t as impressive as last year’s. Nevertheless, Tre Harris, Tory Horton, Jayden Higgins, Matthew Golden, Jalen Royals and Jack Bech are among my highest-rostered wideouts, and I was attacking Jaylin Noel (13%) before I was shut out of Underdog drafts in New York. Golden ran the fastest 40-yard dash (4.29 seconds) among wideouts at the NFL Draft Combine. Additionally, Horton, Higgins, Royals, Bech and Noel had RAS marks of 9.79, 9.92, 9.23, 9.45 and 9.72, respectively. They’re cheap enough to throw darts at in drafts with the potential to get decent draft capital.

Chris Godwin was a monster before injuring his ankle. According to the data suite at Fantasy Points, among 127 wideouts with at least 150 routes last season, Godwin was 11th in expected half-point per reception (half PPR) points per game (15.6). He’s sticking with the Buccaneers and missed the cut for the table, drafted to only 10% of my teams. However, the veteran wideout is an outstanding target.

Adams is only on three percent of my rosters, and Jakobi Meyers isn’t on any of my teams. Adams is an exciting target now that he’s with the wideout kingmaker Stafford in Los Angeles, and Meyers’ stock is up after the Raiders traded for Geno Smith. Joshua Palmer was another free agency winner after landing a three-year deal with the Bills.

Tight Ends

Dalton Kincaid‘s roster percentage is almost directly tied to my massive exposure to Allen. Yet, he’s also a breakout candidate after a sophomore slump. Kincaid played through a knee injury, and as Matthew Berry pointed out in the 25 Most Interesting Things He Heard At 2025 NFL Combine article, a Bills source told Berry that Kincaid “was a lot more injured than folks realized.” Thus, the third-year pro is an intriguing post-hype sleeper.

Harold Fannin wasn’t a combine winner. He had mediocre testing, earning a 6.23 RAS. Nonetheless, Fannin’s collegiate production was absurd, and he could be a best ball asset if he lands with a creative offensive coordinator/play-caller.

Ben Sinnott‘s value cratered when the Commanders re-signed Ertz and extended John Bates. He’s no longer a target. Conversely, Hunter Henry (13% roster rate), Juwan Johnson (13%), Brenton Strange (13%), Evan Engram (0%) and Gesicki (10%) are appealing picks. Henry has avoided the Patriots adding a meaningful pass-catcher to this point. Johnson is back in New Orleans, where he’s flashed fantasy utility. Strange and Engram are both winners after the Jaguars released the latter, and the Broncos signed him as their “joker” potentially. Finally, Gesicki is back in Cincinnati’s pass-happy offense.
