The NFL 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 GPPs especially, playing along with the rest of your opponents won’t get you very far. The rules are much different in H2Hs and 50/50s, 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 Thanksgiving day FanDuel $2 Snap, which has 34,479 entries. The listed players are ones that I have identified for a variety of reasons, but if you don’t see “your guy” here, post below in the comments and I will do my best to get you a percentage.
