Taking down massive GPP tournaments like these can be a challenging feat that requires knowledge of both the players you are drafting and the opponents you are playing against. Beating a field with hundreds, of thousands, of entrants can be a daunting task, but correctly drafting players with low ownership percentages, that are also in good spots to produce, is a recipe for success. Below, we'll be highlighting our GPP-specific projections to provide you with players at each position who can produce and also be below 20% owned, preferably lower.
Carson Palmer
The Saints have been the top defense to pick on with quarterbacks this year (more on that to come), but the Eagles have been festive for quite some time gifting quarterbacks big line after big line, too. Philadelphia has allowed the second most DraftKings and FanDuel points per game to quarterbacks this season. They've allowed the ninth most passing yards per game (258.8) and the second most touchdown passes (29) this season. They will be little more than a speed bump for Palmer to cruise over in the finely tuned Lamborghini-esque offense of the Cardinals.
The Cardinals have averaged the second most points per game (31.2), and against a soft defense like the Eagles, they predictably carry a big 27.5 over/under total into this week's contest. Palmer has an embarrassment of riches in the passing attack few of his peers can boast, and he's made the most of their presence by posting an MVP-caliber stat line. Palmer ranks fourth in passing yards per game (307.9), second in touchdown passes (31) and second in Quarterback Rating. Palmer was already on my radar as one of my favorite plays at the position this week, but seeing he failed to crack the top-five quarterbacks in ownership rate in the Thursday FanDuel Snap nets him an up arrow.
