Some interesting stats from my team:
I have 6 players who still have 1000+ ownership: Hunt (2830), Hogan (2354), Ertz (1809), Cook (1139), Walsh (1124), and McCaffrey (1051)
There is a certain safety in numbers approach here. The only outlier is Davin Cook, who, despite being out for the last 4 weeks still has an overall survival rate above the contest norm of 23.1%. Obviously owners were not relying on Cook to be the primary RB.
The flip side is, excluding K and D, I have 3 players with fewer than 300 owners: Cooks (299), Cooper (263), and Jordy Nelson (145) - collectively 4 teams started with this trio, and I am the last one standing.
That trio stands out, as they are all WRs, and have a survival rate of 18.9%, 18%, and 12.5% respectively - and they are the 3 most expensive WRs on my team costing a collective $82. By that look, I should have been eliminated a while ago...fortunately they are better as a group in a best ball format than they are individually, I have gotten lucky with some timely good games. This trio is both my biggest risk factor, and by extension, my biggest potential - as low ownership can equate to differential.
The player with the highest survival rate for me is Paul Richardson - 46.8% - as much a testament to his best ball type weeks - like this week - as it is to his overall contributions. As a cheap flyer, he has supplemented the "starters" quite nicely in this format. Others over 40% are Ertz (41.2%) and Goodwin (42.7%)
Overall a good mix of players, and a bit of luck with only 1 injury, and some timely performances. I still have some bye-week hurdles to face in weeks 10 and 11 - both with only 2 available RBs each week, and no Ertz, Cooper, or Wentz in week 10.
