Flex
For the second time this year, top-1% lineups flexed a tight end on over 30% of rosters—the field used two tight ends 21% of the time. Only 32% of top-1% lineups flexed a wide receiver, the lowest rate of the season by 10 percentage points.
Leverage/Unique Builds
The Packers passing offense was one of the most popular on the slate, with Jordan Love as the third-highest-owned quarterback in the Millionaire. Playing Baker Mayfield in the same game with a non-traditional stack offset Jayden Reed’s massive ownership.
With multiple Texans wide receivers injured, Noah Brown was set up for an expanded role against a Titans defense that went into the week allowing the eight-most schedule-adjusted fantasy points to wide receivers.
The Bills had one of the highest team totals on the slate but carried little ownership. James Cook was priced similarly to Ezekiel Elliott, who was in 26% of lineups.

Leverage/Unique Builds
Joe Flacco was a price pivot off of Matthew Stafford, who projected for nearly 20% ownership and added correlation to a somewhat chalky David Njoku. As leverage off of Stafford and other chalky Rams, the Commanders' defense made sense, even though they posted a modest fantasy total.
Chris Godwin had an elevated target share in Week 14, which continued in Week 15. He offered leverage off of the Packers chalky pass-catchers.
James Conner added correlation in the same game as a chalky Christian McCaffrey.
