Previous millionaire winners have a total ownership percentage of 100.56% each week, and the range between 75%-125% is recommended to increase your chances of winning.


QB: Trevor Lawrence, $6,100

Trevor Lawrence enters Wild Card Weekend playing some of the best football of his career. Jacksonville hasn’t lost since early November, and Lawrence has been at the center of that run—commanding the offense, pushing the ball downfield, and delivering in high-leverage moments. Lawrence’s combination of efficiency, confidence, and urgency makes him one of the hottest quarterbacks in the league right now. This is playoff football, and he’s playing like a quarterback who expects to keep his season alive.


RB: Woody Marks, $5,600

Woody Marks sets up perfectly in what projects to be a one-sided game script for Houston. The Texans should control this matchup from the start, allowing Marks to do what he does best: punish defenses late and drain the clock. If Houston jumps out early, expect a steady dose of Marks to shorten the game, keep the offense on schedule, and let the defense take over. Touchdown equity plus volume in a playoff setting is exactly what you want at his price.


WR: Luther Burden III, $4,600

Luther Burden III has quietly become one of Caleb Williams’ most reliable weapons, and that role only grows in importance in a tough divisional showdown. Against a familiar Packers defense, Williams will need a receiver he trusts to win early, separate consistently, and move the chains. Burden checks every box. His route running and versatility make him a natural focal point in a must-win game where sustained drives could decide the outcome.


TE: Dalton Kincaid, $3,800

If this truly is the year for Josh Allen to reach the Super Bowl, Dalton Kincaid is going to play a major role in getting him there. The Bills’ receiving corps has been inconsistent all season, but Kincaid stands out as the biggest, most athletic, and most dependable pass catcher Allen has. With Buffalo facing real danger against Jacksonville, Allen can’t do everything himself. Kincaid offers red-zone upside, mismatch potential, and tournament-winning ceiling at a position that’s usually thin—making him one of the strongest TE values on the slate.
