The first rule of best ball is to not draft veteran players who will make less than the winner of Best Ball Mania ($2 million). With how much best ball is growing, this could be the final edition of this column, but rules are rules and this is a great bit.

Consider the following players to be on the DO NOT DRAFT LIST, courtesy of Over The Cap's cash spent.

RBs

• NE Ty Montgomery ($1.8M)

• MIA Sony Michel ($1.75), who didn't pass NO's physical

• PHI Boston Scott ($1.75M)

• ATL Damien Williams ($1.6M)

• MIA Dare Ogunbowale ($1.6M)

• KC Ronald Jones ($1.5M), is,,,, is it CEH bounceback szn?

• CIN Samaje Perine ($1.5M)

• NYJ Tevin Coleman ($1.5M)

• ARI Darrel Williams ($1.2M)

• IND Phillip Lindsay ($1.1M)

• SF Jeff Wilson ($1.1M)

Marlon Mack, D'Onta Foreman, and Rex Burkhead all make the exact same amount as the Best Ball Mania III winner. I'm unsure how to break this tie. James White ($2.5M), Mike Davis ($2.5M), D'ernest Johnson ($2.4M), Mark Ingram ($2.3M), and Raheem Mostert ($2.1M) just made the cut but are on my watch list.

• Demarcus Robinson ($1.2M)
