Welcome to my DFS Week Four Review. Not going to lie, this one was frustrating.
Ownership Pledge
First of all, I’m finding it quite difficult these days to appropriately calculate ownership percentage before Sunday morning. That’s because there are so many outside factors. Between podcasts, YouTube videos, Livestreams, websites, Sirius XM channels, ESPN, yada yada the list goes on and on, it’s hard to determine ownership percentages before Sunday morning. The problem writers like myself have is that I want to publish my takes by Saturday morning, but also may need to adjust by Sunday morning.
This is why I want to set up a Discord channel for anyone who follows my work. I hoped to have it set up by now, but Hurricane Ian threw a huge wrench into those works. It is coming though. I’m reiterating it here is to keep myself accountable.
DFS Week Four Ownership Percentage Report
Here were the Highest Owned Players for DFS Week Four (multi entry tournament):
- Khalil Herbert – 37.62%
- Jamaal Williams – 36.62%
- Stefon Diggs – 22.5%
- Hock Alarm – 19.5%
- Josh Allen – 19.2%
- Amari Cooper – 18.3%
- Saquon – 18%
- David Njoku – 16%
- Tyler Lockett – 15.6%
- Mark Andrews – 15%
There are lessons to be learned here with ownership, but please know this: I will fade the likes of TJ Hockenson when he is the highest owned TE every time. In fact, I will probably fade the highest owned TE every week.
DFS week four was a week where some of the chalk hit. Williams and Hockenson were in GPP winning lineups. I faded both. Instead, I played some Herbert and a good amount of Diggs and Allen. Since that is the case, it did not go well for me. I will take the hit and move on, but I will continue seek ways to gain leverage over the field.
DFS Week Four Takeaways
- Zack Martin left the Cowboys game with an ankle injury. This is about the worst thing that could have happened for the Cowboys run game. Their all-star o-line is basically gone at this point, plan accordingly.
- This was an outlier game for Mark Andrews. He was still heavily targeted with Lamar Jackson missing him on a few occasions.
- The Lions seem to be interested in nothing but shootout games. However, I will continue to be skeptical next week, especially if a highly owned Hockenson is facing the Patriots defense that has a history of continuing to get better as every season progresses.
- Start RBs against the Texans, but always be wary of chalk James Robinson.
- The Jaguars, Falcons, and Titans defenses are legitimate.
- The Bears and Lions offensive lines are legitimate.
- Mack Hollins is a harrowing reminder to not expect last week’s performances to translate to the following week, especially when ownership increases.
- Zach Wilson loves Corey Davis almost as much as he loves his mom’s friends.
- The Broncos coaching staff is really bad. Like. Horrifically. Bad.
- As predicted, Josh McDaniels is going to run the tires off Josh Jacobs.
Parting Thoughts
Thanks all for reading. I am hoping for some semblance of normalcy this week and hope to get some time to analyze Monday Night Football.
I will get the Discord up and running so I can better update folks on Sunday morning.
