Projected Ownership and Points
💡 What Is Projected Ownership — And Why It Matters
Projected ownership shows how many DFS players are expected to roster each golfer in their lineups. Think of it as the "popularity contest" of the week.​​
High-owned = chalky (safe, but you’re not alone)
Low-owned = contrarian (risky, but you gain leverage if they hit)
In large GPPs, going full chalk rarely wins — it’s the smart pivots and under-the-radar plays that separate the pros from the pack.
​​🧠How to Use Ownership in Your Lineup Strategy​​​
Here are some rules of thumb used by sharp DFS players:
✅ Play 3+ golfers under 15%
✅ Include 2 under 10%
✅ Sneak in 1 sub-5% dart throw
🚫 Avoid lineups with 6 players over 20% owned
🎯 Try to keep total ownership under 85%
Use these guidelines to build lineups that balance safety and upside — and avoid duplicating the same lineup as half the field. Need some sleeper ideas? Our blog breaks down this week’s best low-owned GPP plays
