Projecting ownership is pretty easy thanks to some sites still publishing ownership data from their Thursday match-ups. Since prices vary from site to site these are not perfect ownership projections. However, I've changed the ownership percentage into a ranking so no one gets confused. A ranking of 1 means that player was the most owned. Here's the NFL optimal lineups for week 5.
