How to Use Past Millionaire Maker Winners to Build Better Lineups!

Now that we have recapped every million-dollar lineup from 2019, let’s look forward to 2020 and discuss how you can build a million-dollar lineup this fantasy season.

Draftkings

The first should not come as a surprise, but the average winner entered multiple lineups the week they won. Of the 20 winners, only 4 won on either a single entry (or potentially just their first entry). There were more people that won on entry 100+ (5) than on a single entry.

Another item of note is just how often injury created value. While this was the case early in the season (see Demarcus Robinson and Sammy Watkins with Hill out), the strategy really picked up steam later in the year.

We saw Teddy Bridgewater in the week 5 lineup, Auden Tate in week 6, Latavius Murray in weeks 7 and 8, Jaylen Samuels in week 9… The list would go on and on to include names like Bo Scarbrough, Miles Sanders, Tyler Higbee, and Breshad Perriman.

While you might expect a quarterback like Lamar Jackson or Patrick Mahomes, or even a dominant defense like the Patriots to be the most owned Millionaire Maker player, it was actually the most expensive player that made the most appearances. Christian McCaffrey was on 6 winning lineups, despite not even playing in the four playoff weeks!

With 7 of the 17 regular season winners paying under $6,000 at the QB spot, you do not necessarily have to pay up at the most important position in football.

While you may not have to pay up at the QB position, you do have to stack the position with a pass catcher. Every single winning lineup had their QB stacked with either a WR or TE.

We may just chalk that up to the popularity of the strategy, but its effectiveness is undeniable when you see that 9 of the winning lineups had a QB stacked with at least two of his pass-catchers.
