Not only did the Chalk QB smash and make his way into the winning Milly Maker lineup but he did so without a pass catcher stacked with him – something we’ve now seen 4 out of 8 weeks in the winning Milly Maker Lineup. Let’s take a look at how this lineup was Built.

This is another Milly Maker Winner that ate chalk in a few spots, but the bulk of the lineup was guys under 10%% ownership.

Top Leverage Plays

James Cook at 2%

Cook was one of the leverage plays that was given on Tournament Tactics. The Bills had a high implied team total in a matchup against a poor run Defense so it was surprising that so much of the field overlooked Cook & he smashed with 31 points.

Ladd McConkey at 3%

Mcconkey was one of the chalky Wide Receivers on the slate, but he was faded in large field GPP’s. The Chalk Wide Receiver in Cash Games ended up being the top leverage play with the highest score on the slate.

This lineup didn’t have a high score by Milly Maker standards but did have some really good value plays. A staple of Milly Maker builds is finding a 3-4K player who can 5-6X their salary and this lineup two with Tillman & Otton at over 8X their salary. Mcconkey also crushed with 6.29X his salary. The 3 of them made up for the Chase and Hubbard duds in the lineup. (Combined for 1.87X.)

Ceiling

This marked the third week in a row with a winning Milly Maker score of 220 or less. The winning score of the Mini Max was over 220 points but yet the Milly Maker couldn’t produce a higher winning score than 211 with the 100,000 less entries that it had. The ceiling remains low, and as long as it does, we’ll likely continue to see more naked QB Builds.
