Four of the top five QBs in Week 6 went undrafted in most Battle Royale lobbies. Scrolling specifically at QB is a bigger edge than we think. My Monday Morning Game Theory breaks down why naked Shough was optimal and what the profitable drafters did differently (link below)

It was a low scoring week which allowed me to win the small field QB Sneak with a whopping 4.5 points from Derrick Henry. This week’s main slate review is linked below:

The Rams and Bills are the obvious spots on the Week 6 Battle Royale slate. I’m there too, through different doors. • Allen-Bowers is chalk. Cook-Bowers isn’t. • Jeanty and Kincaid are the low-owned pieces in the highest-total game. The Saturday Grind is live (link below)

This week’s Battle Royale didn’t go my way. I called Jayden Daniels and Mike Evans as elite scroll options, and still finished nowhere near the top. Here’s what went wrong (link below).

The Week 5 Main Slate Review is here and despite the over hitting in the Lions-Cardinals game, @Roto_Run’s wisdom rang true with Gibbs being the only piece from the environment to appear in the winning lineup. Full review linked below:

Week 5 is the strangest Battle Royale slate I've drafted. One game total towers over the rest. A dozen players are up in the air for Sunday. And first place is $60,000. Here's how I'm navigating it 👇

Going to go over swap priorities in my Saturday Grind article tomorrow...dozens of swap options and boards to look through this week
to my point from ootc, these are the builds u’re competing against from early week proj nuts or swapping into proj nuts.. find a diff path n don’t just 1v1 to death obvs det/az is “good” chalk but it’s over-stacked v optimal. chasing it is like jamming the cash build in gpp

Everyone loves McBride, Bowers and LaPorta this week. Here are 5 decent TE scroll options we're overlooking on Underdog's Week 5 Battle Royale slate 🧵

5) Mike Gesicki (ADP 34.9) He's basically Cincinnati's third WR. If Tee or Ja'Marr miss, he moves up the depth chart, and it's a revenge game in Miami. All signs point up for this TD-dependent scroll.
