The Milly Maker is a Large Field GPP Contest on DraftKings that pays out $1,000,000 to First. Learn the winning trends that we’ve found by reviewing years of Milly Maker Winners!
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase (1) scores a touchdown on a reception in the fourth quarter of the NFL game at Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati on Sunday, Oct. 6, 2024.
I’d say the unlikeliest of lineups won the NFL Week 5 Milly Maker but when DFS Player Dustpop put 2 Lineups in the top 5 and 3 in the top 20, he/she was just running really hot on Sunday. There was plenty of correlation, but the winning lineup ran a naked Lamar Jackson lineup out there – despite Lamar Jackson throwing 4 Touchdown Passes.
What’s always important to figure out when looking at lineups like this was there a stack option with Lamar that would’ve helped this lineup score higher? There was as Zay Flowers scored 22 DK Points at only $6100. Let’s dissect this winning Lineup.

| T Higgins | 29.3 |

When you look at the bottom line, it looks like a really chalky lineup but really it was just a lot of chalk in 2 spots that brought up the average to the highest of the season.
Top Leverage Plays
Higgins at 8%
Higgins was only 6K and put up a near 30 Burger at under 10% ownership. There were a lot of chalk WRs in his range that didn’t come near him like Reed and Pittman.
Slayton at 4%
While the field was eating value with Wan’Dale, Whittington, & Wicks, Slayton was leverage on them – especially Wan’Dale in the Giants’ offense.
Pricing and Value from the Milly Maker Contest
| Week 5 | Pricing | FPTS per Dollar |
| L Jackson | $7,500 | 4.98X |
| C Hubbard | $6,100 | 3.03X |
| D Swift | $5,700 | 3.50X |
| J Chase | $8,000 | 5.53X |
| T Mclaurin | $6,100 | 2.85X |
| T Higgins | $6,000 | 4.88X |
| T Kraft | $3,500 | 7.08X |
| D Slayton | $3,900 | 7.48X |
| Broncos | $2,900 | 5.51X |
| Total | $49,700 | 4.76X |
The Value chalk pieces of Broncos DST and Kraft smashed – averaging over 6X between the Two. Slayton was the icing on the Cake as direct leverage off of Robinson and the 2nd player to hit 7X their salary in this lineup. That’s the kind of value needed for this lineup to afford 7500 Lamar and 8000 Chase.
Ceiling
It’s pretty wild that we had 2 games on the slate exceed 70 points, carry decent ownership, and we still had a score that couldn’t break 240 points. The average winning Milly Maker score sits at 225 points through 5 weeks. The Ceiling is there, but the field has been unable to find it and break 250 points yet this season. What will the field do next week? Make sure to follow DFS Army’s Content this week to find out!
