The Week 12 Milly Maker Winner was a classic Milly Maker winning lineup in that it had a great stack that got different at WR, a secondary stack, and a low owned Player who was one of the top highest scorers on the slate. Let’s breakdown the winning Week 12 Lineup.
| Week 12 | Points |
| T Tagovailoa | 31.4 |
| D Achane | 20.6 |
| B Irving | 27.1 |
| J Waddle | 31.4 |
| J Meyers | 25.1 |
| J Addison | 33.2 |
| T Mcbride | 28.3 |
| J Gibbs | 24.9 |
| AZ DST | 11 |
| Total | 233.08 |
While a lot of Tournament discussion centered around Tyreek Hill as an Achane chalk fade, this lineup attached Achane in the stack and found a way to get different by using Waddle at under 4% ownership.
Stacking
Tua Tagovailoa 31.4 FPTS + De’Von Achane 20.6 FPTS + Jaylen Waddle 31.4 FPTS.
Trey Mcbride 28.3 FPTS + Arizona DST 11 FPTS
Total Stacking Points: 122.7 FPTS
Total Team Ownership: 48.8%

$1,000,000 Milly Maker Ownership
| Week 12 | Ownership |
| T Tagovailoa | 7.20% |
| D Achane | 23.70% |
| B Irving | 8.90% |
| J Waddle | 4.90% |
| J Meyers | 8.90% |
| J Addison | 1.50% |
| T Mcbride | 9.60% |
| J Gibbs | 13.50% |
| AZ DST | 3.40% |
| Total | 81.70% |
This lineup was one of the most contrarian Milly maker winners we’ve seen this year. Achane was the only high owned player as every other player was 13% ownership or less.
Top Leverage Plays
Jaylen Waddle at 4.9%
With Achane at 23% ownership and Hill at 21%, Waddle was direct leverage in that same game. He also was leverage off of every other Wide Receiver in the Lineup minus the next player to be mentioned.
Jordan Addison at 1%
Addison hadn’t scored over 20 points since week 4 and was the focal point of the offense for Minnesota on Sunday. Top scorer on the slate and only 1% ownership at 5100 so he was the top leverage play on the entire slate.
