Most Milly Maker lineups have several spots that are sub 10% ownership. This lineup was no different and was very contrarian with under 100% total ownership.
Top Leverage Plays
Justin Fields at 1% Ownership
The field was all over Lawrence, Jayden, and Burrow. Naked Fields was the optimal build; We’ve seen this time and time again from him dating back years when he’ll pop for a 30+ point performance and be the nuts QB. When he’s this low owned, that’s when you want to take your shots with Fields.
Puka Nacua at 6% Ownership
Puka is one of the best wide receivers in the league and a guy you’ll always want to play at this level of ownership.
Juwan Johnson at less than 1% ownership
What I loved the most about the Juwan play was that he was priced the same as Brenton Strange who was the chalk – one of the top ways to leverage the field is a one to one pivot at tight end as it’s such a high variance position. Rotomwash did that here with Juwan as leverage off of Strange and the rest of the field in a low scoring tight end week.

Week 1 is historically a low scoring week and the start of this season was no different; That will undoubtedly hurt value a bit – relative to historical data – but there were still two great spots for value in this lineup with Fields who hit 5.46X his salary and Egbuka who joined him at over 5X his salary. The soft week 1 pricing was crucial in jamming studs like Bijan, Nacua, and Achane in this lineup and being to pay up for the Broncos Defense. Egbuka, Pearsall, and even JSN were all underpriced relative to the role they were going to play and provided some great salary relief for this build.
