If you've played fantasy football over on FanDuel, then you know the importance of draft percentages, especially in larger-field tournaments.

Knowing who the competition is rostering enables you to think with a contrarian mindset. And if your under-the-radar play ends up hitting, then, well, you're one step closer to a victory.

Each week, we'll be posting the previous week's draft percentages to help you see how the public was thinking. It'll let you see who the public drafted, which can be helpful when doing research for upcoming games.

Let's take a look at the numbers from the Week 16 main slate. If a player is not listed, his draft percentage was lower than 0.10% in the featured tournament.
