Friend of the site, Evan Silva (hahahaha), puts out some very interesting tweets every Friday. He gives us the ownership percentages of some interesting players from the "Thursday Bomb" that starts on Thursday (obviously). This gives us a really good idea of who the public is on, and that can help us when trying to chose who we are going to use in our lineups.
Some quick game theory thoughts, if you are trying to take down a big tournament, you want to have a lineup of guys that are going to be low owned but have good upside. In a head to head or a 50/50 the goal is to maximize your floor. Ownership numbers don't matter that much because you just have to beat the person you are playing or half the field.
Here are the ownership percentages for per Silva:
Quarterbacks:
QBs in @FanDuel Thurs Bomb: Cam 19%, Rodgers 10%, Cutler 7%, Brady 4.6, Palmer 2.9, Tannehill 2.7, Cousins 2.6, Mariota 2.2 Eli 1.8 Ryan 1.4
