NFL DFS Contrarian Strategy: How to Use Stokastic’s Ownership Projections
Stokastic’s ownership projections are released on Tuesday night for the Main Slate and are updated continuously to reflect breaking news, including last-minute injury reports. These projections are pivotal as they reveal the anticipated popularity of players across various contests. For instance, if a high-performing player like Patrick Mahomes is projected to be in only 10% of lineups, whereas another top player is in 90%, the impact of their performance can be substantial.
Take a look at the interface of our NFL DFS Ownership Projections:
Consider this scenario: if Mahomes performs exceptionally well while being in just 10% of lineups, you are competing against only a small fraction of players (10,000 out of 100,000). This smaller subset significantly increases your chances of finishing ahead. Conversely, if a popular player performs well, you will have to compete with a much larger group (90,000), making it harder to secure a top spot.
For more targeted plays, explore the ownership projections for smaller slates — like early, afternoon, or primetime games — available on Stokastic’s site-specific pages for DraftKings or FanDuel. Understanding ownership projections helps in building unique lineups that are less likely to be duplicated by the majority of your competitors, thus enhancing your chances of winning.
In essence, integrating ownership projections into your strategy can transform how you approach NFL DFS contests. By selecting players with lower projected ownership but high potential, you can effectively reduce the number of competitors you need to outscore, providing a clearer path to DFS success.
