Adam Levitan projects ownership for every NFL DFS player each week in the FantasyLabs Player Models. Gauging ownership is important when it comes to tournaments so you can try and gain leverage on the field. You don’t need a team of 1%-owned plays to win a tournament, but it’s also unlikely you’ll win a tournament with an abundance of highly owned plays.
The goal of this article is to give a brief rundown of some of the highest-owned players heading into the week, along with how they can affect roster construction.
Be sure to check the ownership projections throughout the week as breaking news can cause these to fluctuate.
Note: Ownership percentages as of Friday afternoon.
Quarterbacks
As usual, ownership projections are relatively flat for quarterbacks with five of them projected for 9-12% on DraftKings. This happens because the difference between a QB1 and a QB10 can be minimal. For example, the difference between Patrick Mahomes and Kyler Murray is just three points, but they’re $1,600 apart.
In Week 1, the running backs and receivers will have the biggest affect roster construction. Kelly McCann dives into how to gain leverage at the quarterback position for tournaments.
