$1,000,000 Milly Maker Ownership
| Week 8 | Ownership |
| T Tagovailoa | 0.36% |
| J Cook | 10.94% |
| B Hall | 6.43% |
| M Pittman | 9.41% |
| J Waddle | 4.73% |
| X Hutchinson | 1.88% |
| G Kittle | 7.32% |
| J Taylor | 33.08% |
| Bills DST | 2.88% |
| Total | 77.03% |
After 5 weeks of 119% of total team ownership, it was good to see a super contrarian week with only 77% ownership.
Top Leverage Plays
Tua at .36% Ownership
Tua’s press conferences after losses piled up were so bad that everyone wanted to take the mic away from him. They didn’t take the football away from him, though, and he responded with a big week at less than .5% ownership.
Hall at 6% Ownership
Great running back with the best matchup on the slate – the field probably should’ve been a little higher on Breece Hall. He was top 4 at the position and had the lowest salary for the running backs with 30 or more fantasy points.
Xavier Hutchinson at 1% Ownership
Hutchinson didn’t post a gotta have it score but he was leverage on the value plays of the slate. Mooney and Noel were priced similarly and Hutchinson was the guy to roster in that range.

If Jonathan Taylor was in the winning lineup, again, you just knew it was going to be due to a cheap stack going off as it would be hard to squeeze 9500 JT into the lineup with a 6K+ QB. That’s exactly what happened here with Tua + Waddle’s $5250 average price. Surprisingly, this lineup didn’t feature one player at over 6X their salary but did have 4 players with over 5X their salary. This was also the 6th time this season when we’ve seen a Defense with over a $3000 salary in the winning lineup.
