Find Your Edge: Week 11

Director of Data and Analytics, Kevin Cole, returns with a look at how past DFS slates can yield valuable insights to roster construction, decision making, and winning strategies for the coming slate of games. This is a big deal. We’ve collected a massive amount of data on past DFS slates, and Kevin is going to help you “find the edge” buried deep within them.

Week 11

This week we’re going to take another dive into the data to try and give you some ideas of where the most successful players have been putting their dollars to work in Milly Maker lineups.

Our ResultsDB has all the entries for each of the 10 Milly Maker contests in 2018. That enables me to mix and sort the data to find some potential advantages.

In an effort to pinpoint particular areas of value this year, I’m going to go through each of the different roster positions (QB, RB, WR, TE, DST) and form a matrix of salary and ownership tiers.

This matrix will give the differentials for winners (top-0.1% of entries for each contest) and the field so you can see hot spots for winners this year.
