Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff runs for a first down against the Buffalo Bills during the second half at Ford Field in Detroit on Sunday, Dec. 15, 2024.
In back-to-back weeks, we had Josh Allen go nuclear in a game that resulted in pushing players from that game up the leaderboards in DFS Contests. Allen didn’t break 50 this time but he did score over 40 points; The surprising part is he wasn’t even in the winning lineup this week – that’s because his opponent in that game scored a fraction of a point less than him at 2k lower salary. Let’s take a look at the Jared Goff stack that took down the Week 15 Milly Maker.

| J Goff | 44.06 |
| C Brown | 26.3 |

| B Thomas | 35.5 |
| B Strange | 18.3 |
| S Laporta | 21.1 |
| Denver DST | 20 |
| Total | 261.86 |

This was a contrarian lineup starting with the Detroit team stack in the game that the field faded. Chase Brown was the highest owned player and really the only chalk at almost 15% ownership.
Top Leverage Plays
Jared Goff at 4%
Goff was the highest scoring QB on the slate and under 5% owned. He combined with Amon-Ra and Laporta for just about 20% ownership between the 3. threw for almost 500 yards and 5 passing touchdowns so was able to bring multiple players with him.
Brian Thomas at 8%
$5800 player who was the chalk in cash games, but everyone got off of in tournaments. Thomas was one of the highest scoring players on the slate and did it below 6K and under 10% ownership.

The cheap double tight end build that averaged a salary of $3450 allowed this lineup to afford Goff, Chase, Adams, & the Sun God who combined for an average salary of $7050. With Goff, Amon-Ra, and Adams combining for over 6X their salary, the lineup was able to be high scoring and take less than 4x from Chase & Stevenson. This lineup also had a pay up at DST with Denver at 3200 – something you see often in large field GPP winners.
