Week 13 of the FanDuel Sunday Million was a high scoring one to say the least as the top score in the tournament was okieboy211 with a total score of 224.56 points. He used every dollar of the $60,000 salary cap and had no player score less than 15 points. The highest owned player on the team was David Johnson at running back at a modest $5,900 price and he delivered 19 points. He paired Johnson up with Javorius Allen at RB and Allen was owned at 7.3% rate with Johnson at 30.3%. At quarterback it was Ben Roethlisberger with the combo of Antonio Brown and Martavis Bryant at wide reciever.
You rarely see the triple stack combo at the top of the leaderboards but it was the case this week with Roethlisberger scoring 33.86 points, Brown with 33.80 and Bryant with 19.40. The trio put up a combined 87.06 points to account for 1 third of his roster. The other WR was Allen Robinson and he was a must if you wanted to cash at the top of GPPs this week as he was owned at 9.9% of the field and scored a ridiculous 38.30 points. The tight end position was Delanie Walker at $6,000 who was owned by 12% of the field and scored a nice 19.20 points.
For the kicker spot only $4,600 was used on Dan Bailey on Monday Night Football who helped give okieboy211 the late sweat and take home the victory as Bailey scored 15 total points and was only owned by 2.3% of the field. He also hit a home run on the defense pick of the Kansas City Chiefs for $4,700 and scored 17 points at a 2.4% owner rate.

Quarterback was a high scoring position this week and in the top 10 at the position it was dominated by Ben Roethlisberger on 7 of the teams with Cam Newton on a pair and Marcus Mariota on the other. The running back position was full of guys that were third stringers to start the season but players who are very relevant in the DFS world this late in the season. Javorius Allen, Shaun Draughn, David Johnson, Thomas Rawls and Jonathan Stewart were the only RBs to crack the top 10 of the Sunday Million. Allen was on 8 teams, Johnson on 6, Rawls on 3, Draughn on 2 and Stewart on a single team.
Antonio Brown and Allen Robinson were each on 9 of the top 10 teams with Cooks, Bryant, Ginn, Baldwin, Jeffery, Marshall, Maclin, Watkins, and Hopkins. The tight end spot had just three names in the top 10 with Delanie Walker, Greg Olsen and Scott Chandler and all three were highly touted before the week began.
There were 4 kickers used in the top 10 teams with Bailey, Hopkins, Boswell and Nugent and all 4 were pretty inexpensive in price showing that this was a week to pay down at the kicker spot. The defense position had 6 teams crack the list with Kansas City, Chicago, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, New England and Miami.
