Leverage plays — low owned, big scores

Owned below the slate median but outperformed projection. Ranked by points-above-projection per point of ownership — the cheap differentiation that won the week.

No qualifying leverage plays on this slate.

The fades that didn't pay — chalk that busted

No high-owned busts on this slate.

Chalk distinction

The slate's top scorers were owned at 0.4% on average against a slate median of 0.2%. The field's chalk largely held up — this slate rewarded paying up for the obvious calls.

Method

Ownership is averaged across every indexed contest for the slate. Actual and projection are DraftKings points. Leverage = below-median ownership with actual above projection; ranked by (actual − projection) ÷ ownership. All figures computed from the settled gold data archive, regenerated on every build.
