Week 24 Team Value Recap

Lost value for the first time this season, go the Zlatan dice roll wrong, and basically lost distance in the OR race. Woof. Long season. Let’s get after it.

What I’m Thinking About.

• Man, this season is full of DGW and it is an absolute grind.

Notes

• Outside of the top two picks, probably Hamid is the most attractive option even though the data doesn’t really point that way.
• Vega is super cheap and VAN should be a good matchup…they just may get blitzed by LAFC…
