NFL DFS Tournament Takes & Leverage Points: Week 4 (Fantasy Football)

Key Points:

• Running back (RB) position shows heavy ownership concentration on Christian McCaffrey, Aaron Jones, Chase Brown, and Jeremiyah Love, making it crucial to diversify lineups to avoid mirroring the field.
• Quarterback (QB) options are wide open with Trevor Lawrence leading ownership at 14.2%, but several mid-tier QBs like Stroud, Mahomes, and Purdy offer strong projections with lower ownership, providing leverage opportunities.
• Wide receiver (WR) ownership is more evenly spread, with Parker Washington leading at 22.5%, while players like Jaxon Smith-Njigba and CeeDee Lamb offer high projections at moderate ownership, favoring balanced lineup construction.
• Tight end (TE) position favors mid-to-low ownership players like George Kittle and T.J. Hockenson over expensive options, suggesting a strategy to save salary here and invest more in RB and WR ceiling plays.
• Defensive team (DST) selections remain volatile, with the Vikings offering the highest projection but moderate ownership; late swaps in afternoon games provide opportunities to pivot and adjust lineups for tournament leverage.
