The Field Report: Week 10

The Field Report is designed to give you a look into the most popular plays from FanDuel’s Thursday Night action. In order to truly separate your entry from the rest of the field, you need to create a very unique roster. In GPP’s especially, playing along with the rest of your opponents won’t get you very far. The rules are much different in H2H’s and 50/50’s, but in tournaments where you need to beat ALL of your opponents (e.g. major qualifiers), you need to take risks and use a player or two that you know will be lightly owned. The percentages in the tables below come from the 15K Thursday Rush #2. Since this data comes from Thursday contests, the ownership percentages for the players listed below will be a bit higher on average for Sunday contests.

A lot of the Thursday field was on the Redskins skill players, as well as Adrian Peterson, so the percentages we see on Sunday will be much higher for some of the players in the tables below. For example, RGIII was 22% owned in the Thursday Rush, and Pierre Garcon, Jordan Reed and AP were owned by an even higher percentage of the field, so that’s definitely something to keep in mind.

Note: All players are listed by percentage owned inside the tables. Any player owned in more than 5% of the field will be included.
