I am treading water this week, which is a positive for me. Along ways to go.

My frigging PK was lost to injury. Good times.

One of my RBs was benched for fumbling the ball. Awesome sauce.

This was an awful lineup. Getting torched in all my Thursdays. Hoping my Sunday lineup pulls out a net positive week... Or neutral at this point.

Out of all the people in my lineup, Gronk was my downfall. Put up 186 with 6 points from Gronk.

You need a turd from Jeffery (I'm assuming). That's a really nice lineup though. I'd say I'm puling for you, but I've got a lot of Jeffery (and Gates and McFadden) and a little bit of Stevie to go and I need some help.
Had written long post and did not save ... figures ...
New rules regarding the max entries for games under $10 on Fan Duel significantly changed the landscape of all things H2H in the $1 - $10 range this weekend. DRAMATIC drop in level of competition.
I waited until late Saturday night and went into the H2H lobby for each individual game slate. Used the Rotogrinders Chrome tool and started picking up games posted by players with less than 200 wins. Additionally, I posted H2H games. Most weekends I am at 70% win rate in the H2H area. This weekend I am sitting at 87/100 with players left on MNF.
BIG difference in the talent level now
You have to take advantage of this change next weekend
For all of you chasing a big win ... best of luck tonight and tomorrow

I think I am heading towards a slight loss. My streak may continue but I guess its a moral victory if there is such a thing.

Close but Freeman, Cobb, Bryant were only average to slightly above average. This should cash but won't win.
Right now I have 57/66 LU's for cash games cashing easily. They all have 145-149 points and still 1-2 players left to go.
My other 9 LU's, the ones I changed 10 minutes before kickoff( dohhhh) is sitting at 95 points, with the cash line on most right at 115. I still have langford and s. johnson still to go. But my guess is I wont hit cash with these 9LU's.
Still good week for 57/66 cashing
My LU that looks like it wont cash wasnt horrible, I actually thought it was solid.
E. Manning 14.42
J. Langford
M. Ingram 11.6
ODB 15
S. Johnson
Edelman 12
D. Walker 27
Gostkowski 9
Atanta 5
Thought it was a solid play for cash

Yep, and manning played horrible too. Those 2 alone should have had me in the money. I dont even want to get started on the dumpster fire that is atlanta. They lost to gabbert..You have julio jones, matt ryan, and freeman...No reason they should have lost.

OK, so I faded off my Brady lineups( Left him in one) and went with Rivers so we shall see if that worked out.
My other switch of Ingram in place of D. Williams was a failure.. :(
And I REALLY need to start paying attention to some of the lineups I put together as the one I did for the FBG Game is way to dependent on a High Scoring game tonight.:
At 64.8 right now..
QB Philip Rivers
RB Devonta Freeman
RB Mark Ingram
WR Steve Johnson
WR Alshon Jeffery
WR Michael Crabtree
TE Antonio Gates
K Josh Lambo
D New England Patriots

Looks to be the best week of the year for me. Felt a little too invested in Brady and pivoted 1 of my 2 1pm lineups and 1 of my 4 full slate lineups to Newton. Alot still going tonight and I think that's fairly common. Thurs 97 and 127. Full 119, 118, 126, 122. Feels like a good place to be.

Jigandreel is at 130.96 with I'm assuming Gates and Langford.
Blackeyedjoe is at 128.26 with two WR's...which could be good for you if they match.
Can't find the 3rd.
Looks like I'm screwed at 122 with Gates and Langford. My 118 with Wilson and Lambo is probably unique but not enough for a ticket. Hopefully still win the $20.

Sigmondbloom is at 104.14 with a TE left.
I guess Dodds above could have Bennett instead of Gates.

Doesn't seem that far off to me. I'm in the FD $2 GPP with 258,620 entries. There's 51 scores over 200 at this point.GilbertGrape said:

Do any of you guys play the Monday-Thursday slates? Had a buddy tell me those smaller slates were where he was making most of his money this year, but honestly they feel to me like the margin of error is razor thin.
For this week, for example, you can pretty much have any player you want.
Wouldn't almost everyone roll out the following?
Rivers
McCoy/Ivory
Langford
Jeffery
Marshall/Decker
Stevie
Gates
Kicker
Jets D
The plays seem very obvious, so it seems very likely if you're wrong on any one of them in a 2-game slate, you're losing $$. Someone explain these to me and the strategy behind them... obviously folks are winning out there on them.

You just play all the chalk, which is the exact opposite from the GPP approach for small slates. As obvious is it is that Gates or Rivers is the only choice for this slate, or the Jets Defense is the correct call, you will still get people picking Fitzpatrick, Clay, and the Chargers. Those kinds of choices are going to eliminate 20-30% of the field most slates, so youre left flipping coins with like 70-80% of the field over Jeffrey, Decker, Marshall, etc. Its alot more like gambling than big slates because so many people are on the same guys, but IMO if youre putting as little thought into it as possible you will have +EV in the long term.

I think when I posted that I was referring to the 1pm Only slate. Those cut lines for cash games were over 145pts. The $2 Snap 1pm cut was 155.2 for comparison. Usually their is more of a delta there.
The full slate games seem rather normal to me...after tonight maybe a little on the high side, but nothing much different than what we've seen on other high scoring weeks this year.

I hate these slates. Comes down to K and D most of the time. Really hate them when there's not enough salary in play to make the cap come into play.
NixonMask
Footballguy
These are the slates to just enter crazy GPPs. Theres not too many fringe guys to think about, and when they hit, like last night who is crazy enough to enter both J. Matthews AND Beasley in the same lineup, but that pair with Malcolm Floyd or Marquis Wilson could make someone a ton of money tonight.

I played pretty much all the chalk plus pats d, Barth and Eli, even though Lee said that was a terrible idea. I didnt listen and Manning threw an int on the first pass of the game. 130 with Gates and Stevie to go. Gpp lineups might return $5. I may just drop gpps entirely moving forward.
I made a bunch of $1 and $2 h2hs for the first time, and a good chunk of the lineups I'm up against are completely crazy. Might fire up twice as many next week.

Like I said earlier, the Falcons have been sputtering on offense, had no Leonard Hankerson which is really the only #2 behind Julio Jones, and were traveling West against a 49ers team that stinks but still plays good defense at home.

Ok, how many points will I score tonight on MNF?
I'm on Fanduel and have 130 points but still have TE A. Gates, WR A. Jeffery, and WR S. Johnson.
To win the 500,000 dollar 1st place prize I would have to score 229. Don't think I'll make it, but it is possible....
How many points do you guys think those three will score ?
thanks,
Jim

Well my 1 PM lineup with Brady lost $20, but my Thursday - Sunday lineups are in a good spot.
122 for one with Jeffery and S Johnson to go still. If they get 30 total I'll hit the quint and place in the 100 person and 250 person tournament
123 with jeffery and Bennett to play, basically the same thing need at least 30 and I should be able to hit in the quint and a 100 and 250.
I'll win all the 50/50's, double, and triple ups so the baseline with this is $60 profit, but if it goes well tonight this could be a very good week.
As for a Mon-Thurs play just going chalk and doing a 50/50 and a h2h
Rivers
Ivory
Lankford
Jeffery
B Marshall
S Johnson
Gates
Lambo

Good luck everyone!

I'm not a fan of Jeffery this week. I know he's $7900 and an elite WR1 but the match-up against Verrett is legit. Verrett has shadowed AJ Green, Antonio Brown, Randall Cobb, Amari Cooper, and Steve Smith, and he's still graded out as a top CB, at least according to PFF.
Scoresman
Footballguy
This is where PFF and FO disagree somewhat. FO has SD ranked 28th vs.WR1s. That means either something is wrong with one of the grading systems, or SD doesn't keep Verrett blanketed onto WR1s consistently.

I need alshon to go off to win my home league. If he doesn't I'm blaming you.Good luck tonight, brothers! I hope all of your plays pay off (except Alshon).
Something is wrong, opinion ...
Or they have people that never put on pads grading out their games, which constitutes a large segment of people in the FF industry. And by pads I mean someone that played at/above DI level
Verrett can play. Period. The only WR that he has not handled was A Cooper
I appreciate the perspective PFF and FO provide but my experience is becoming, as it relates to individual grades, for every 2 they have correct there is 1 wrong
