Fantasy Football: Rostership report and pivot plays from the highest-owned DFS targets in Week 2

Last week's report had some solid hits, so I hope you are coming back for another slice of the pie as we head into Week 2 of the NFL DFS season!

This report helps identify pivot players to target if you are looking to avoid highly rostered players in GPP tournaments. Optimizing cost and rostership percentage is what creates strong yet unique lineups to help rake in that sweet, sweet cash.

DraftKings Pivots

QB: JAMEIS WINSTON ($6,100 | 1.8%), New Orleans Saints

Famous Jameis had quite the coming-out party as a Saint last week. The guy who was known as a gunslinger instead showcased precision point passing skills that we haven’t seen in a while. Last week against the Green Bay Packers, he dialed in five passing touchdowns on just 20 passing attempts all game. The rest of the commanding win was in the hands of running backs Alvin Kamara and Tony Jones.

Winston and the ragtag group of Saints receivers head to Carolina to take on the Panthers this week. The Panthers shut the New York Jets down pretty well last week — though the green Jets offense looked a bit mismatched from the get-go.

It’s a no-brainer to expect a more neutral game script this week for the Saints, who had a win probability of 75% or higher for nearly three quarters of the Packers game. Winston’s rostership is lower than most quarterbacks in this price range due to volume but if he increases his pass attempts to at least 30 against the Panthers, he will pay back dividends in a GPP.
