5 Under 20%: The Best Overlooked DFS Plays of the Wild Card Round
The path to winning DFS tournaments is typically aided by diamonds in the rough. These are the players often overlooked and considered to be contrarian, garnering single-digit rostership.

But a Vikings rematch two weeks later ended their victory tour rather abruptly. Dan Campbell had played his starters […]
