NFL DFS Tournament Takes & Leverage Points: Week 10 (Fantasy Football)
Do not be ignorant when it comes to tournament selection. I grade out GPPs on DK and FD to help find better tournaments. Click here for them. It is updated weekly by Saturday afternoon.
- Which chalk deserves the attention?
- Where are we giving up too much projection just to be different?
- And how can we turn those answers into better tournament lineups?
Slate Overview
My projection blend is the starting point for Week 10, and I started this week by reviewing the top 150 projected lineups plus the top 150 highest owned lineups (by pOwn) in the optimizer. Across the 300 lineups, Bijan Robinson and Justin Jefferson appeared together 251 times, or 83.9%. That percentage describes this selected sample; it is not a projected ownership rate for the pair.
But what it shows is that the field assumes Kirk Cousins’ return rebirths stud Justin Jefferson. And maybe it does, but keep that in mind when building because the mindless sim bros will check the best lineup output without double-checking player ownership combination %.
If I am building around a frequently occurring combination, I want to examine the stack, salary allocation, and supporting pieces before settling on the rest of the roster. This week’s Tournament Takes focuses on finding those opportunities while keeping enough projected production to compete.
