The Field Report: Week 9
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 seperate 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.
Looking back at last week, it was a mixed bag in terms of performance from the most popular players. Guys like Eddie Lacy and Frank Gore did enough to account for their price tags, but others like Marshawn Lynch and Tony Gonzalez were pretty big disappointments. After not seeing a player owned in more than 33% of the field during the last two weeks, we have Eddie Lacy coming in at almost 50% owned this week. Definitely something to be mindful of in GPP’s and qualifiers as you create your lineups for Sunday… Good luck to everybody this weekend!
