Want to know how to win a million dollars over the next NFL season?
I started with the simplest question I could think of:
How did people actually do it last year?
Not what the optimal lineup theoretically should have looked like.
Not which DFS strategy sounds smartest on Twitter.
Not which player had the highest projection on Sunday morning.
I went through the winning DraftKings Millionaire Maker lineups from last season and looked at the actual structures that produced the million-dollar result.
Which quarterbacks got there.
Which players they were paired with.
Where the cheap salary came from.
Which expensive players were worth paying for.
How many true ceiling scores a lineup actually needed.
And, perhaps most importantly, which patterns kept showing up.
The first thing I learned is that there is a very real score you are chasing.
