Fantasy Footballer Wins $1 Million in Back-to-Back Weeks
Junfu Han / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images

Maybe lightning does strike twice. A sports bettor with entry name “giantsquid” won both the Week 10 and Week 11 DraftKings Millionaire Maker contests

He scored 229 points in Week 11 with this lineup:

"Giantsquid" stacked his lineup to bank on one of the league's best teams against one of the worst teams. With the Detroit Lions as 14-point favorites over the Jacksonville Jaguars, he rostered Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams. Good call. The Lions destroyed the Jags, 52-6, and those three players racked up the points. But what truly separated himself was choosing Taysom Hill. Only 3.42% of entries rostered the New Orleans Saints tight end and capitalized on his 46.52 points, thanks to three rushing touchdowns.

That victory came one week after winning the Week 10 Million dollar contest with this lineup below:

Week 10 featured a San Francisco 49ers stack with Brock Purdy and two of his favorite receiving options, Jauan Jennings and George Kittle. Safe to say his most astute Week 10 play was Calvin Ridley, who was only 3.82% owned and scored 25.4 points against the stingy Los Angeles Chargers defense.
After both DraftKings contest victories, "giantsquid" posted on X to thank @ SaberSim, alluding to the fact that he used the tool to help create his lineups. SaberSim is a DFS tool that states that they have helped nine $1M winners in the last 12 months. It appears "giantsquid" is an engineer and partner of SaberSim, so the relationship definitely seems to be panning out.
Can "giantsquid" make it three straight Million Dollar victories in Week 12? Expect a completely different lineup because he did not repeat any players in Week 11 from Week 10.
