What's up, maniacs? Week 2 main slate recap — a small loss, but two lessons that'll make you money. (1) Bet against my Friday player-pool cuts: the last guys I dropped (Brock Purdy, Bryce Young, JSN, Rashod Bateman, the Panthers D) were the slate. (2) Get your QB right and the optimizer's correlation matrix hands you the exact stacks that beat the field.

📌 TWO TAKEAWAYS
• Fade my cuts — the last few guys out of my pool each week keep going off.
• Nail the QB, trust the smart stacks. When Dak nuked (29.8), we were 3x the field and DOUBLED the field on the Dak / CeeDee Lamb / Jake Ferguson stack.

🏆 THE LINEUPS THAT MATTERED
• Won the Milly ($1M, EliDCatz1): Brock Purdy, Christian McCaffrey, JK Dobbins, JSN, CeeDee Lamb, Tre Tucker, Dalton Schultz, George Kittle, Patriots D — 232.
• Optimal: Dak, Rachaad White, TreVeyon Henderson, JSN, CeeDee Lamb, Tre Tucker, Dalton Schultz, Jake Ferguson, Panthers D.
• Our best: Dak, Derrick Henry, Bijan, CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, Stefon Diggs, Dalton Schultz, Jake Ferguson, Browns D — 183.

💰 BEST PLAYS BY POSITION
• QB: Dak Prescott — THE play, 3x the field.
• RB: ugly week. Jonah Coleman ($4,200 / 14.8 / 3.5x) and Rachaad White were the value nobody had; fine at CMC.
• WR: JSN was the miss that hurt — last WR out of my pool. Bateman + Tre Tucker also just outside.
• TE: our week — Dalton Schultz 9.1x, plus Ferguson and Kittle. Cheap-dart barbell paid.
• DST: our hole — zero of the hitting defenses. Panthers were my last D out. Brutal.

🧩 THE CORRELATION WIN
• Dak / CeeDee / Ferguson: field 0.72%, us 3 of 190 EXACT (7 with an extra piece).
• Game stack Dak / CeeDee / Ferguson + Stefon Diggs bring-back (110 from 4 guys): field 0.16%, us 2 of 190 — ~10x the field.
• We don't force contrarian — get the core + QB right and the unique combos come free.

🔭 BUYING & FADING FORWARD
Cooling on Malik Willis / Bobby Slowik's offense. Chargers panic meter is high. Buying Bucky Irving in spots, the Raiders (Tre Tucker), Darren Waller in the red zone, the Panthers passing game, and JSN every week.
