Sonic is a Milly Maker winner and large-field tournament mastermind who focuses on mass-multi-entry play
Examining rosters recently led to this one prevailing feeling. Don’t overthink this stuff.
When building tournament rosters, sometimes all we need is a stack that has a low-owned piece or two. After that, just play the dudes that you like best.
Josh Allen is going to be 3.7% owned? Stefon Diggs is around 5%? Gabe Davis…4%?
Ok then. Maybe play your Bills stacks and then gnaw on all the chalk you want. If your QB stack is a bit on the chalkier side, we’ll need to find some upside at a bit of an ownership discount.
We’re always hunting for those high-ceiling combinations to add to our existing game stacks. It’s better to aim at getting four things right instead of trying to hit a nine-way parlay. I’ll lean on a handful of core secondary stacks that will be finessed into lineups whenever feasible.
Not exactly a salary saver but this pairing provides alpha receiver upside at an average ownership of just 5%. JJ could have played two weeks ago so I’m operating under the assumption that he is ready to play a full complement of snaps. Josh Dobbs is playing for his NFL career on every snap. Given his well-documented intellect, I think he’ll be trying like hell to get the ball into the hands of his elite playmaker.
Adams isn’t just a target earner; he’s a target demander and he has broken slates at low ownership multiple times in his career. In the Milly, I’ll even trot out Jakobi Meyers across from Jefferson on at least one roster. The .5% ownership could be a separator on a winning roster if he manages six catches and a touchdown as he did in Week 12.
This game emerging as the game of the week is not high in the range of outcomes, but if sparks fly, these two players are likely candidates for production.
The matchup isn’t pretty, but Williams has one of the most voluminous roles in the NFL, and at 5.4% ownership, I’ll be doubling the field and feeling fan-fucking-tastic.
OBJ isn’t known as a zone beater, but he does run most of his routes through the areas where Baltimore is most vulnerable. He’s also only $3800 and 2% owned.
WHAT IF Kyren Williams is featured on successful scoring drives early and, in the absence of Mark Andrews, Lamar Jackson leans on OBJ to make splash plays?
Ravens aren’t afraid to be aggressive. They just haven’t needed to be very often. I’m fine playing some of the Ravens value pass catchers as one-offs, but more likely to play a Rams player across from them, as Baltimore will be content to stuff the ball into the belly of their three running backs if not pushed by LA’s offense.
I’m waiting on some news before this one feels like a full green light. Notorious red zone vulture, Taysom Hill is also sporting a Q tag and appears less than likely to dress. If he doesn’t dress he probably shouldn’t take the field. That would be embarrassing and possibly even illegal.
Derek Carr’s health is a factor as well because he is far more apt to check down to Kamara than his backup, Jameis “Fuck It” Winston.
If things fall into place, Kamara would be in a great spot, and depending on the timing of injury news, his ownership could squeeze to single digits.
It feels weird to type that Adam Thielen is leverage against Jonathan Mingo but here we are. Thielen (5%) may not have ceded all the inevitable come-from-behind (don’t be nasty) targets to Mingo just yet. With Mingo projected as high as 16% on some sites, I feel queasy about tethering too many of my large field rosters to the youngster.
