Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (28) celebrates after rushing for a touchdown Sunday, Dec. 22, 2024, during a game against the Tennessee Titans at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
This Week 16 Milly Maker Winner featured a $4500 Penix who projected for 4X his salary in DFS Army’s Domination Station. ; With the price of Penix being so low, it wasn’t necessary to stack him with a Pass Catcher. He was “Stacked” with his Defense, however.

This was a chalky lineup that got different in a few spots – like a lot of other Milly maker winning lineups do! before.
Top Leverage Plays
Jonathan Taylor at 6%
Nobody wanted to play Jonathan Taylor after he dropped the ball the week before but he certainly made up for it with this 42 FPT performance at only 6% ownership.
Kayshon Boutte at 1%
Every Milly Maker winning lineup needs at least one big value guy at low ownership to be different and provide enough salary relief for the lineup to come together with enough ceiling. This lineup did that with Boutte at 1% ownership who hit almost 6X his salary.
Atlanta at 4%
Atlanta scored 25 FPTS and was under 5% ownership. That’s the GPP winning upside that you need.
