I actually like Bortles as the better play. That NE defense sucks something awful, but no one is talking about it because the offense is clicking. Remember, despite Brady going crazy, the Bills had the ball with the chance to tie late. I realize Bortles isn't Brady, but he's not priced like Brady either.

Id be careful with Houstons passing game. Hopkins is averaging 12 targets a game, Shorts 10, and Washington 9.5. That is not sustainable for atleast 1 of those guys, especially when Foster is back

I beat Joe (292nd), David (787th) & Sigmund (556th) in the Week 2 FBGFC Qualifier (Double Up). I finished 175th. Does anyone know how it works exactly? How do we confirm we are in?
Also, is there a better way to find out their finishes without having to scroll through the entire list?

I'm fairly new to playing on the DFS sites, but here's my first draft for week 3 for FD. Comments and suggestions are welcome; I'm a novice here but not at fantasy football in general.
Brady
Dion Lewis
David Johnson
Edleman
Julio
Moncrief
Eifert
Catanzaro
Seahawks
I'm not sold on Lewis as I tend to agree with a lot of other people that this seems like a Blount king of matchup, but he is getting a decent amount of looks and yards in the passing game. I could try to drop down on the RB's as well to add Gronk into the mix.
Until the Pats have injuries to Brady/Gronk/Edleman, I think they're just going to keep playing like they have the first two games.
I can't turn away from the Seahawks D this week as they have Chicago, without Cutler, at home, although I do see a lot of value in the Browns and Panthers this week. The Panthers did me right in week one, so I may go back to them on a lineup or two.

I am going the other way with this line of thinking. The Houston passing game will get a reprieve now that defenses will likley be stacking the run against Foster. Should open things up even more. And against a Tampa team that got eaten up for four TDs by Marcus Mariotta?
I will be riding the Mallet/Hopkins stack in pretty much any GPP I enter. Came out looking like this:
Mallet
Lewis
Randle
Edelman
Julio
Hopkins
Kelce
Crosby

I am having a hard time deciding if I wanna go WR heavy this week or not. As it stands this is my lone line up that I have pieced together.
Newton
Peterson
Charles
Thomas
Moncrief
Hurns
Olson
Folk
Atlanta

I find it very interesting how many people are on different guys this week. Week 1 it seemed that we had a few consensus must plays, (Ivory, McManus, etc.). Im not sure if thats due to the early pricing of week 1 or if its because we have 2 weeks worth of data that everyone is analyzing differently.

I think people are chasing points with Arizona. They're not the second coming of the greatest show on turf and with this being a divisional game against an opponent who knows them well, I see this as a potential week where Palmer and crew coming back to earth. I still like Fitz to get his, but I'm not expecting anywhere near what he did last week.
To me nothing screams "high floor" this week more than the Seattle and New England offenses.

It may be the homer in me, but I dont think Starks is a great play. KC run D is much improved from last season. Pack play on MNF. I could see Lacy being a GTD and play. I think at that price point Randle and Freeman are the better plays. Especially with Coleman out.
Itchy Amos

I'm on board with all of this. I have lots of Brady, Edelman, Gronk & Lynch sprinkled throughout my lineups.
I think John Brown is just as likely to have a big game as Fitz and he's cheaper.
One mid priced RB that I'm warming up to that nobody is talking about is J. Stewart. He's $6,500 and gets a home game against N.O. If Brees is out, then I like the Carolina D to dominate and result in lots of carries for Stewart. Last year he lit up the Saints late in the season and ran effectively against them earlier in the season. Carolina's gone against the Jags & Texans. They both look to be pretty good against the run. I don't think you can say the same thing about the Saints.

I feel there are better and cheaper options than Gordon this week. Miller at home, Randle at home, for example. Like the Washington pick, but him and Gordon are probably your only low ownership % players. Might not be enough for a GPP.

Speaking of cheap RB options this week, what about Lance Dunbar @ 4900 on FD rather than Randle?.

Newton and Foles at QB this week.
eta: and a smidge of Bradford of course!

should have to do some throwing to keep up with Pitt as well. 47 O/U a pretty solid number for a game not involving an NFC East team.
Just set my first lineup of the week and came out with:
Brady $8700 - High OU, and I think the Pats are determined to absolutely beat down teams this year.
Lynch $8800 - At home against Jimmy Clausen will mean Seattle have the ball alot.
Powell $5200 - Has quietly got 24 carries and 9 targets in 2 games. Best value RB this week IMO
A Brown $9300 - About as much of a guarantee as you can get
Edelman $7700 - High OU and the chemistry between him and Brady means he's regularly targeted.
Moncrief $6000 - Is clearly Luck's best target right now, and as prices were released before Monday's game he is great value
Rudolph $5300 - Even with the Vikings misfiring he's been good and SD have given up TDs to both Ebron and Eifert in the last two games.
Folk $4600
Jets $4500 - Assuming Revis can go, the Jets D is elite and Philly are struggling.
According to the interactive value chart, this team scores an average of 129 points.

Not really buying the David Johnson hype yet. Splash plays on special teams don't matter much here and I just don't know if the consistent carries are there. Workload is such a reliable predictor of production that it's probably the #1 thing I look for and if we can't yet trust Johnson in that category then I don't want him on my 50/50 teams just yet.
I feel like the prices are starting to get tougher now that we have a couple weeks of data to look at. There are fewer obvious steals to me this week than in the previous two. I may limit my investment in this week for that reason. As far as the backs go, I do feel like Doug Martin and Melvin Gordon offer pretty solid value at ~RB20 prices. I believe both guys will find the end zone a few times this season and that's really the only thing that has been holding them back thus far. The yardage output has been decent (not great).
I feel like Moncrief will be in A LOT of lineups at WR at just $6000. I also find it hard to pass on Jimmy Graham at $6300. An $800 drop in one week may be a bit of an overreaction for a guy with such an extensive track record of great production (albeit with a different franchise).

I'm warming to Powell myself. At his price point a 4 catch game with 10 or so carries may well hit value without a TD.
The App/interactive chart are interesting this week. I've played around with very different lineups built around Brady, Bridgewater, Bortles, and Foles. All of them project to 131-134 at 50%. That tells me the either scores will be bunched or the FBG valuations are a little wonky.

Am I the only one that thinks Marshall is a must play if Decker is out? Moncrief also if Hilton misses a lot of practice this week.
dschuler
Footballguy
Moncrief definitely, although as mentioned earlier by someone, there are probably a lot of people who will roster him this week. Marshall is a decent option if Decker is indeed out, but then again, the Eagles will focus on him more without Decker on the field. I'm not sold on him yet, but that's just my opinion.
msudaisy26
Footballguy
Vontae Davis was on him until he left the game, but he did catch a few passes with Davis on him and got a PI call in the end zone. The Eagles don't have anyone as good as Vontae in their secondary b
NixonMask
Footballguy
There is a very real version of the game where the eagles are so ungodly bad again that Fitzmagic throws the ball 20-25 times, and Ivory and Powell each get 20-25 touches. Im planning on rostering him myself in a few lineups because I think even in that scenario he gets 7-10 targets, but its worth keeping in mind
Itchy Amos
Footballguy
The eagles probably arent as bad as they've been playing. I love Marshall this week, especially if Decker is out. Fitzpatrick has been known to force feed his top WR in the past.

I would strongly consider ODB for your Thurs 50/50s. You will have to cut back some other positions, but he is going to be very highly owned I think because of the Thurs game and if he goes off you will have a steep hill to climb come Sunday.

At the same time if he is a dud, he just lost an advantage by not passing him up. Its a damned if you do damned if you don't kind of thing.
snellman
Footballguy
In a cash game that is not as big of a deal as in a tournament. In a cash game you just want to get in the upper half. If ODB goes off and you don't have him, that puts you at a big disadvantage due to his ownership. If he lays a dud and you have him, more than likely so do most others so it doesn't hurt as much. Just my .02
TropicalStorm
Footballguy
Exactly. And I am not sure I would be comfortable betting against OdB in a "must-win" game for the Giants that is a nationally televised game. Eli also has been chastised a bit this week, would not be surprised if he looks at his most reliable target often. Not saying he is going to go off necessarily but I think the potential reward for rostering him tonight is greater than the risk incurred from not including him. Just my 2 cents though.

Makes sense. New to the DFS biz and game strategy. Thanks for the education.
