CeeDee Lamb & Tyreek Hill Fantasy Advice | Week 11
The data shows Hill has the advantage in a one-on-one comparison. Hill has the better chance at being optimal with the higher ceiling (Boom). Lamb has the lower floor (Bust).
The big advantage for Lamb is in leverage. Lamb is the more contrarian option and offers positive leverage. Playing negative leverage players isn’t the worst thing — good players who are popular are popular for a reason. It’s just important to find leverage elsewhere in lineups if rostering Hill.
These decisions don’t exist in a vacuum, of course. It’s not just about Hill vs. Lamb. It’s about the complete lineup builds. One of those options is by stacking with the receiver’s quarterback.
Here’s what it looks like when comparing two vs. two.
The edge again goes to the Dolphins. The leverage is a wash when adding Tua Tagovailoa and Dak Prescott, who are similar in points but see a different in ownership. They have the same boom percentages, but Tagovailoa has the bigger bust potential.
