FantasyPros Forum Challenge (help FBG win) (1 Viewer)

[Pnishthm]

I am registered with FanDuel with my same email addy but nothing was credited to me. Ranking 15th was pretty cool though

Hey Pnishthm - When you get a second, can you send a quick note to info@fantasypros.com with the email you used and your FanDuel screen name? We'll get you squared away with the credit. Thanks.

Will do thanks!!!

[FantasyPros_Andrew]

Just as an FYI, there were only 11 perfect entries last week (out of a few thousand). Getting all 10 picks right is a guaranteed way to finish up in the money for the week.

That's simple enough, right?

 

[FantasyPros_Andrew]

I know we're still a day away but I just want to bump this up for anyone who wants to get their picks in now. There are currently 22 submissions so we're looking for at least 28 more.

Here's the link to the quick poll: Week 4 Challenge

Man, these are getting tougher each week. I almost feel like I could do just as well by flipping a coin. Cool contest... would be way cooler if I can win some of that prize money soon!

Side note: Anyone think Torrey Smith will go back down to earth after the bye week when Lee Evans comes back? I did a speculative pickup on L. Evans but I'm not sure I want to hold him for three weeks (his bye is next week) since my league only has 3 bench spots.

 

[FantasyPros_Andrew]

Bump for anyone looking to play in the contest this week (poll closes at 1pm EST). We're still looking for at least 17 more submissions to get FBG eligible this week. And as always, there are prizes for the most accurate entrants.

Here's the quick (1-2 min) poll: Week 4 Challenge

Good luck!

 

[FantasyPros_Andrew]

Last call for this week:

Week 4 Challenge

 

[FantasyPros_Andrew]

Week 4's results are posted up now. It was a tough week for most in the contest (average person only got 4 out of 10 questions correct). FBG finished the week #5 out 10 and continues to sit 4th overall in the YTD standings.

Your individual scores should be emailed out in a little bit. Feel free to let me know if there are any questions. Thanks.

I'm in for the week. Had my worst week last week but was still 32nd out of the 64 or so experts

There were some tricky ones last week. As you can tell from your ranking, a lot of experts struggled as well.Response has been pretty good so far, but we are still a ways away from hitting the minimum number of 50 entries to qualify for the forum challenge. Help FootballGuys defeat the other forums, and give yourself a shot at the $500 weekly prize pool too!

Here's the link one more time: http://fantasypros.polldaddy.com/s/footballguys-wk6?forum_id=12&week=6

Good luck this week!

 

[FantasyPros_Andrew]

Still need over 20 entries to qualify for the forum challenge this week! Take 2 minutes and help FootballGuys outperform the other forums! Remember, the top 50 entries split a $500 prize pool every week.

 

[nickel&dime]

and we stunk up the joint week 5

Seriously. How are we losing to Reddit????I've been checking my score every week and I'll just say that I don't think I'm the weak link for FBG. Just Say'n!C'mon guys, we should be able to nail these 10 start/sit questions. For arguments sake, here are my picks (first guy listed is the one I'm starting): SAM BRADFORD over Alex SmithVICK over NewtonRYAN GRANT over Delone Carter (this one is like picking crap against crap)EARNEST GRAHAM over DeAngelo WilliamsFELIX JONES over Ryan Torain (only cuz Shanny might start a guy from the practice squad over Torain/Hightower/Helu...you just never know)SJAX over Jahvid BestVICTOR CRUZ over GarconLANCE MOORE over CrabtreeDAVID NELSON over d.h.b.JAMES JONES over Kevin Walter

 

[FantasyPros_Andrew]

We accept entries right up until kickoff, but time is running out to get in on the week 6 action!

 

[FantasyPros_Andrew]

The week 6 results are in, and I think you'll like them! Quite the turnaround from that awful week 5.

[FantasyPros_Andrew]

Here are your options for week 7. Footballguys easily took first place last week with a dominant showing, but you still has some work to do in the overall standings (#7/10). Fill out your entry and keep the momentum going!

Tim Tebow (@MIA) or Phillip Rivers (@NYJ)

Jackie Battle (@OAK) or DeMarco Murray (vs STL)

Brandon Lloyd (@ DAL) or Mike Williams (vs CHI)

Earnest Graham (vs CHI) or Darren Sproles (vs IND)

Greg Little (vs SEA) or Nate Washington (vs HOU)

Ryan Torain (@ CAR) or Willis McGahee (@ MIA)

Eric Decker (@ MIA) or Santonio Holmes (vs SD)

Montario Hardesty (vs SEA) or DeAngelo Williams (vs WSH)

Doug Baldwin (@ CLE) vs Kevin Walter (@ TEN)

 

[TheAssassin]

What happens if Bradford and/or Palmer don't play?

 

[FantasyPros_Andrew]

What happens if Bradford and/or Palmer don't play?

Great question, when we came up with that matchup, Palmer appeared to be the starter and Bradford seemed healthy enough to play. Obviously that is not the case now. Chances are that question will not count towards the forum challenge or your individual score this week.

 

[FantasyPros_Andrew]

We've only got about half of the 50 required entries to qualify FBG for the Forum Challenge this week! Take a couple minutes, help FBG out, and give yourself a shot at cash prizes!

 

[ThePittbully]

Didn't know about this, in for the first time this week. Also, awesome site Andrew. Love the new My Playbook tool

 

[nickel&dime]

My picks are in. I like how quick this game is, but man those were some tough start/sit calls this week!

Cool contest. Every week I get to see how much better I am than Matthew Berry.

Thanks PittBully, we've gotten a lot of great feedback on My Playbook. It's a pretty cool tool. Good luck with your start/sit this week.Just a reminder, we accept entries up until kickoff.

Just wanted to say your welcome for my first place finish

 

[FantasyPros_Andrew]

The week 7 results are in, and what a great week for Footballguys! Somehow you leap all the way from 7th place to *2nd*! However, as you can see in the results, you have several forums right at your heels, so don't get too content just yet. And just FYI, we threw out the Palmer/Bradford question.

[FantasyPros_Andrew]

Just FYI, Mark Ingram's status has been called into question, so there's a good chance that question gets thrown out.

Keep the entries coming!

 

[nickel&dime]

My picks are in. Hopefully they help our FBG score.
