Flex
For the first time this season, top-1% lineups flexed running back more often than the field, doing so in 31% of lineups. Wide receivers were in 63% of top-1% lineups and tight end in 6%. The field used three running backs 23% of the time, four wide receivers 68%, and two tight ends in 9% of lineups.
Leverage/Unique Builds
Khalil Herbert was playing opposite Javonte Williams, the fifth-most rostered running back in 14.6% of lineups.
Nico Collins offered same-team leverage off his fellow wide receiver Tank Dell, who was one of four wide receivers in at least 20% of lineups.
Michael Wilson offered correlation with Christian McCaffrey and also offset CMC’s 25% ownership, the third-highest ownership among all players.

Leverage/Unique Builds
The winning Week 4 Sunday Million lineup rostered two running backs with a salary of at least $8,000. Since the start of 2019, this was only the seventh winning lineup (out of 74 winners) to use two such backs.
Marquise Brown offered correlation with Christian McCaffrey and also offset CMC’s 27% ownership.
While Cam Akers didn’t score much, he led to a unique roster construction with no running backs priced below $6,000 projecting for double-digit ownership.
