This lineup was Chalky. Mayfield, Taylor, Irving, Evans, Thielen, and Philly DST were all some of the highest owned plays at their respective positions. It ate a lot of good chalk and got different in a few spots with Devonta, Johnson, and Conklin.

Top Leverage Plays

Devonta Smith at 5%

Smith was the 2nd highest scoring WR on the slate and did it at 5% ownership and the cheap $5800 salary. It was Devonta and the Double tight end build that set this lineup apart from the rest of the top lineups on the leaderboards.

Conklin at 2%

Top scoring tight end on the slate at near stone minimum salary and only 2% ownership. You could make an argument that Conklin was the top leverage play for this lineup as it was a big day for wide receivers but a down day for tight ends.

This lineup really came together with the double tight end build that averaged a $3200 salary between the two roster spots. Despite not having any players above 8K, Mayfield, Taylor, Irving, and Evans all combined for an average salary of $7250, so the value at double tight end was the savings needed for the 4 studs in the 7K Range. This lineup featured a pay up defense as well and they produced 6X their salary. The top value was Conklin at 7.48X!

Ceiling

We’re closing out the 2024 season with a strong, high scoring finish. The last 4 Milly Maker Winners have produced scores of 281, 261, 238, and 241. (An average of 255 FPTS.)
