I’m sure we can all remember a time we thought we were being smart by stuffing in a bell-cow back at the captain, then bringing it back with multiple opposition pass catchers, but it doesn’t seem to be a winning formula.

Most Common Winning Lineup ConstructionĬonclusion: 5-1 is an underused lineup construction, found in around 25% of winning lineups, yet used by DFSers between 10-15% of the time.
Below the analysis, you’ll find a spreadsheet with every game, total, point spread and winning lineup from 2019, which you can use to sort through through, via a link to the spreadsheet. With the biggest NFL DFS showdown slate of the year on tap for Super Bowl 54 between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers, let’s take a look at every single winning lineup from 47 showdown slate from the 2019 season on DraftKings (largest GPP) and see if we can figure out some takeaways for this game and into next season.
