Flex
For the first time this season, top-1% lineups used a tight end in the flex at a higher rate than the field, doing so at a 32% rate, compared to 17% by the field—that 17% tied a season-high rate.
This was the seventh winner since Week 1 of 2019 to roster two tight ends.
Leverage/Unique Builds
The winning lineup had no wide receivers priced above $5,200—that made it only the second Millionaire winner since the start of 2019 with no wide receivers at $6,000 or above.
Although D'Onta Foreman was in 10% of lineups, he was a low-salary running back pivot off of Jerome Ford, who was in 23% of lineups. Josh Downs also offered same-game leverage off of Ford in case there was a shootout, which there was.
Cortland Sutton was a low-owned player in a game that had three players in the passing game at 14% or higher on the other side of the ball.

Leverage/Unique Builds
Joshua Palmer was a great example of understanding value across sites and how that impacts ownership. While Palmer was a top-10 wide receiver on DraftKings, in terms of ownership, he had single-digit ownership in the FanDuel Sunday Million.
Along with Foreman coming off a bad game in Week 6, pairing him with his defense added low-owned upside in the event that Foreman ended up in a positive game script.
No wide receiver priced below $6,300 was projected for double-digit ownership, making Kendrick Bourne part of a unique build opposite a popular Stefon Diggs.
