How contrarian do you have to be to have a shot on million $ tounaments ?

[snatchit 108]

I have no clue... I usually put in 2 studs, 2 long shots with upside and the rest being the middle of the road.

yes I forgot the r in tournaments, just looking for insight

If shooting for the top spot, I think one or two long shots have to come through (see T. Benjamin, D. Lewis, C. Gillmore), but I have a hard time with the contrarian picks myself. I'm giving consideration to guys like A. Blue, C. Shorts, and D. Funchess this week.

I put in who I think will score most

You have to hit on the random one week wonders like Benjamin. It's almost impossible to guess who that will be. You have to take high upside picks, Alfred blue doesn't cut it.

not only do you have to hit big with your one or two sleeper guys, your other guys can't bust either haha

You need a couple guys to go off who are way under the radar, and it helps to have a few studs who are 'unpopular' on a given week, either because someone else has big hype (Bradford against Dallas last week) or they are in a 'tough' matchup (Rodgers vs Seattle, Brady vs Buffalo last week). Some people mistakenly think 'contrarian' means 'team full of ass-pulls'.

ya I guess Calvin with a gimpy QB and against DEN will be low owned this week

I nominate Brandin Cooks as today's blue plate contrarian special. I'll be benching him in my league and won't have an ounce of DFS ownership in him. Surely he'll go off now.
