Week 9 NFL DFS Tournament Recap - Just Play McCaffrey
The NFL Week 9 main slate has come and gone and Christian McCaffrey is still a DFS cheat code.
It’s crazy to think that we’re already half-way through the NFL DFS season, isn’t it? Let’s break down what happened in Week 9 in daily fantasy football!
Ownership Review
Let’s take a look at how the ownership landed in the DK Milly Maker using our wonderful ResultsDB tool.
At quarterback, Matthew Stafford was popular again this week and led the way with 15.86% ownership. Russell Wilson and Derek Carr were the only other two QBs to see double-digit ownership rates. Patrick Mahomes and Marcus Marriota both made their way onto Milly Maker rosters. How?
Running ack was the chalkiest spot on the board this week. Jaylen Samuels was basically a free square and he paid off his asking price rather easily for the 50.68% of the field that locked him in. Behind him, Dalvin Cook, Aaron Jones, Christian McCaffrey and Le’Veon Bell all exceeded 20%. Josh Jacobs almost got there as he clocked in at 19.63%
At wide receiver, things were pretty spread out. Chris Godwin was the most popular selection (21.61%) with Danny Amendola right behind him with 18.57%. Wait, Danny Amendola? Huh?
Darren Waller topped the 20% mark as the highest-owned tight end. Zach Ertz was the next most popular selection and he erupted for 9 receptions, 103 yards and a score.
On defense, the Bills and Redskins were the most popular selections (17.39% and 15.99% respectively). They played each other and the game saw exactly zero turnovers.
