The Field Report: Week 12
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 5K Thursday Snap #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.
Since the New Orleans/Atlanta game was actually a Thursday Night game worth targeting, a good portion of the field was on these players. Drew Brees and Pierre Thomas were both around 30% owned, and guys like Jimmy Graham, Marques Colston and Harry Douglas were also relatively popular plays. Just something to keep in mind when looking at the ownership percentages for Sunday players, because as I noted earlier, it will in some cases be much higher come Sunday for a few players.
Note: All players are listed by percentage owned inside the tables. Any player owned by more than 5% of the field will be included.
