Let's say a certain cheap rb/te/wr is seen as the best value for a particular week and ends up at 70% ownership. As you enter your lineup you say, well I need to avoid this guy because everyone will own him, so you plug in the next guy on your list. The 70% player goes 163 and 2. You don't come out ahead here. A guy will have high ownership because he is perceived to have the most value, and perhaps the best chance to go, say, 163 and 2. By avoiding those guys you just create an inferior lineup. You want the guys who should score the most points, not the guys with low ownership who should score the most points, because the second group should generally score fewer points. If a $5500 wr scores 25 points and has 70% ownership, the other 30% are screwed. If the other $5500 guy you plugged in that spot somehow does better it's because you got lucky. If we're all submitting suboptimal lineups on the off chance we get lucky, why don't we all just go play roulette?
