Draftkings week 9 (1 Viewer)

My core cash this week:

QB- Ryan, ARod, Brees or Siemian (haven't decided)

RB- Zeke, Bell, Gordon, C. West, Free, Ajayi and A. Smith at flex spot

WR- Julio, Evans, AB, M. Thomas, Adams, Sanders, DT, Monc.

TE - Gates, Hooper, Ebron

D- GB, SD, Mia

The kind of chalk guys are in bold, but I don't think we will see anyone in the 80% range this week. I think C. West should be chalk, but he probably won't be. I am looking at zigging and zagging with my cash LU's this week. I will probably go high at WR/low RB in at least one, and low at WR/high at RB in one. Then mix and match the other one. I will probably have at least one LU that I don't stack at QB with at WR/TE this week, which is unusual for me. 

Learning BBall has taken a lot of my time this week, so haven't been on the forums much. 

Well I got off to a good start after the Thursday night game. That usually means the rest of my LU will suck, but I like my start at 121pts. 

Cash #1 - Ryan (32)-C. West-Gordon-Julio (28)-Adams-Evans (41)-Hooper (13)-A. Smith (7)-GBDEF 

Ryan and Evans both got 4X plus value, Julio 3X value on the nose. Hooper actually surprised me getting 13 and 5X value, Smith got close to reaching in also, if he wouldn't have gotten hurt he would have made it. I'll take the 7 points I got from him, it enable me to roster the QB/WR/WR combo I wanted. 

Cash #2 - ARod-Zeke-Gordon-Adams-M. Thomas-Monc-Gates-Gore-SD 

Pretty solid on this, but still not sure if I want Moncrief or not. Kind of waiting to see how the GB WR situation plays out. 

Cash #3- Still trying to make final decision on QB between Brees and Simian. Plus a few other situations need to play out. 

Tentatively looking at Simian-Zeke-Bell-DT-Adams-TWill-Ebron-Gordon-SD, but don't like using Gordon and Adams 3 times, or SD defense twice. So still working on it. 

Odd to see those 3 Defs that you are targeting for cash.  Is there something there you really like, or is it a matter of you having to pay down a little bit there to fit in all the stud RBs and WRs you wanted?

Yea I am having a heck of a time fitting the guys I want in, so I am having to pay down. Both those teams have pretty decent overall defenses and both are playing at home. I think the Packers will get plenty of hits on Luck, which equal sacks and maybe a turnover. San Diego is just better than people give them credit for, and i don't think Tenn is as good as they looked last week against Jax. 

That all being said, yes I am having to pay down and I am trying to talk myself into liking it!!!!

Your really going to laugh when I show you my last LU with the Rams defense in it.................

Don't mind the Rams this week if you have to go cheap. Carolina will probably keep Ryan Kalil out and Gino Gradkowski isn't very good and they have to face Donald at DT. Michael Oher still out at left tackle.  Only a 24 team total for Panthers and they're traveling out west. Carolina's giving up 2.3 sacks and 2.4 turnovers per game. For $2,400 you can definitely do worse.

I am going to dig around the WRs a little more, but also kept coming to the LA defense. 

I haven't done any cash games on DK this year yet, so I am rusty here.  What are the cash lines looking like in the 2x, 3x games for cash? I came up with the LA Def as well, and this LU:

Dak

Zeke/Bell

Landry/Adams/M.Thomas

Gates

C.West

LA

Sadly, I am not against going with Kaepernick instead of Dak.  Both have hit cash value every week I believe, plus it allowed me to get up to Landry, and if I went with Kaep, I might be able to go up again at WR somewhere. 

I do have another version of this core LU with Rodgers at Qb:

Rodgers

Zeke/Bell

Cobb/Moncrief/Britt

Gates

C.West

LA

Would love to hear thoughts on these LUs as I will dabble a bit in the cash games this week. 

Cupboard looks bare for low price WRs this week, may have seen the best already in Humphries. Have chucked Dorsett in to a few lineups, Moncrief my favourite WR in that game and now Starks is out Montgomery is great value again. Cobb now a game time decision, that and Vontae Davis starting or not will also have a domino effect on value of Pack receivers.

Rodgers, Dak, Zeke, Gates, West , Thomas I all like from your lineups. I'm chucking some darts at the Rams WRs as at least one tends to come up with a decent score each week. And Rams D I'm throwing in to a couple of lineups where I need the cap saving, Fisher's Rams are 5-0 after a bye I read ( which means they are pretty bad the rest of the time ), so rested, prepared and at home against the Panthers and their poor O Line they could be value.

Not too excited about Bell, Brown this week, Steelers haven't exactly lit it up in Baltimore last few years but won't completely fade them. And I like T.West even with Dixon's shadow looming larger and Mike Wallace who's been a target monster since Smith went down.

Cash lines have been all over the place this year. As low as 125 some weeks (last week for example) when you had chalky guys like Ware and Evans underperform and as high as 175 in some of the weeks when the chalk all hit. 150 is usually a pretty good target though.

I'm waiting to finalize until getting more clear news on the GB and SD Wide Receiver situations (which also impacts Gates), but some of my favorite potential lineups look almost exactly like yours.

Like this one:


QB Aaron Rodgers 7800


RB Melvin Gordon 6300


RB Ezekiel Elliott 7900


WR Ty Montgomery 5800


WR Donte Moncrief 5800


WR Michael Thomas 5500


TE Kyle Rudolph 4000


F Charcandrick West 4400


D Los Angeles Rams 2400

Prefer Montgomery slightly over the other GB options because he should see 6-10 carries if he's active plus plenty of targets. If one of the SD WRs is out, then it probably makes sense to go down to Gates and upgrade to Chiefs D or maybe fiddle around to try to fit Bell or Landry in. Though if Williams or Benjamin is inactive, it also brings Inman into play at near-minimum, which further shakes things up.

Agree that it's a rough week for cheap WRs in cash. Some pretty interesting big play options for GPPs though. All the Rams starting WRs are interesting. Intrigued by Stills at $3900 as he's the exact type of WR who has had big games vs. the Jets (sub 4.4 speed, deep aDOT) and he played over 90% of the snaps in the last game. Also like Sammie Coates a bit at $4300. DHB is technically the starter and it's tough to know how many targets Coates will get. But the practice reports this week have been pretty glowing with beat writers saying he's looked great. He was coming on strong before the finger injury and I love the matchup for him against whoever ends up being the Ravens #2 CB.

Coates definitely worth a shot. Stills I agree too although could be Parker who gets on the end of a deep ball.

Torrey Smith and Perriman are 2 more who have potential for a big score on chance of catching a deep pass for a TD. 

Looks like Benjamin and Williams will both start so Inman's value takes a drop.

TE - no Henry so Gates has value. Lance Kendricks is just about my favourite cheap play this week. Allen is back so Doyle takes a hit. Barnridge reasonably priced. Delanie Walker now a GTD. Kelce's in a good spot but it's the Chiefs so boom/bust.

Thinking we see less goal line carries for Cam now so Stewart and Olsen's ceiling goes up with more RZ opportunities.

Zeke and C. West both going to have huge ownership. Plenty of other options out there, Murray I'm not too keen on as Henry could start eating in to his touches. Gordon is yet again fairly priced, Forte I like, Ajayi has a tough match up but $6000 coming off back to back 200 rush yard games and a Mo less Jets D has appeal.

For a change I like a lot of Ds, Bills could turn out to be great value, Fins I like, Philly and Giants Ds both in play for me, Chiefs v Bortles at home appeals, Vikes and Seahawks both could be worth paying for, Denver too.

Ok, final tweaks done based on latest news......

I usually don't do this in cash games, but I went in and altered my Thur/Mon LU this week. I am sitting at 121 right now, I subbed out Gordon for Zeke, GB for SEA, and Adams for Inman. I think Zeke will get me passed the cash point I need alone, with him C. West, SEA defense (Who I love at home), and Inman I have a good shot of really making some money in my leagues also. I just feel like Zeke/Inman/SEA has more upside than Gordon/Adams/GB. I will probably regret not using Gordon, I have all year so far. 

#1-Ryan-C. West-Zeke-Julio-Evans-Inman-Hooper-A. Smith-SEA

#2-ARod-Bell-Booker-Montgomery-Adams-Moncrief-Gates-C. West-MIA

Once again I took out Gordon/Zeke/M. Thomas/Gore/SD and replaced with Bell/Booker/Montgomery/C. West/MIA. I love the change for upside, and the injury status of M. Thomas has me worried a little. 

#3-Luck-Zeke-C. West-M.Thomas-Sanders-AB-Doyle-Austin-RAMS

This is my worst LU for sure, but I still like it. Luck is much safer than Siemian at QB. Zeke and West are must plays. AB is a stud, Sanders is good, Doyle is my hunch pick this week and gives me a stack with Luck. They are going to have to throw the ball, he has a better chance than most TE in play this week of a TD in this high scoring game, and I think Luck likes him. Austin is going against one of the worst CB in the league, the Rams are going to have to throw the ball, and Fisher has had an extra week to get some special plays in for him. On DK, he is a steal! He will get 8-10 points in receptions alone. Surely he can get 20 yards out of them to make value. I'll be monitoring M. Thomas and swap him out if I don't like his status Sunday morning. 

Final thoughts this week. C. West and Zeke are going to be very highly owned, so I feel like you have to play them for the most part. If they bust, who cares, everyone has them. I think people are overlooking the Denver WR's and Rams WR's this week. Britt and DT are great plays also. I like them better on FD than DK though. I have been telling myself for a while now that I have got to get Gordon in some of my LU's. He is getting so many touches and he keeps putting up numbers. It's gotten to the point that now I am afraid he just can't keep it up. I'm sure I'll regret it again this week. I'm taking a few chances this week, because I feel like #1 is for sure cashing as it stands right now. If that LU would have fizzled, I probably would be much more conservative. But remember also, I play all these in not just double ups, but also 3X, 5X, and 3-100 man leagues and a few GPP's,  so I have to give them some upside to really get the best bang for my buck! Good luck everyone, on to my wacky GPP builds now. 

Yep, I did it - I entered a Kaep stack!  Wanted to have a gpp LU that faded that GB/Indy game that everybody will be on just for a little something different, so instead I did a SF/NO game stack that revolves around my stud RB cash LU:

Kaepernick

Bell/Elliot

Cooks/Thomas/Patton

Gates

Gordon

KC.

For whatever reason I switched Gates to Kendricks, and this is probably my highest scoring LU this year at 184.52.  Currently sitting at $25 in my $3 entry gpp.   With tonight's game still up, I am sitting at almost 3x for the week total!

Great job Karma.........Gates did well, but I think Kendricks did too.

Am I ever going to just believe Gordon is good? I have to get past last year. He looks better each week.

Thanks! I think I just took out Gates to not have him and Gordon in that LU  Just saw that L.Murray had over 30pts, so he put me right next to that lineup and another $25. 

That one was my GB/Indy shootout special and got to 183.68:

Rodgers

Ingram/L.Murray

Hilton/Moncrief/Nelson

Gates

D.Adams

Eagles D

I hear you on Gordon (I feel the same about Ajayi as well for whatever reason), but he turned out an actual damn good rushing day, not his usual 25 for 37yds and 2Td day.  I think he finally converted me, and looking over matchups quickly for next week, there is probably no reason we shouldn't be playing David Johnson and Gordon in all our LUs.  SD home favorites vs. Miami that is still letting Rbs score on them, and David gets SF at home.  Zeke could still have a great week, as Pitts is a shell of itself on O and is also pretty bad vs. the run. 

To answer your other question above, the best I have done in a gpp is getting 8-10X on the entry.  These were my best two for DK this year, and I have been in the top 1/2% a couple times in a gpp of FD for a $10 payout on my $1 entry. 

I started out small on the year - I had $10 left over from last year on DK and used a $25 GC I got for my birthday to deposit $25 on FD, so I treat this less like an investment (watching bankroll management, etc.), and more like a night at the casino, so I am way too loose with what I am doing..  It's what I would do with Blackjack when I went - if I was doing well, I would ramp up the stakes and maybe do $5 instead of $2 a hand etc.  Did the same thing this year on dfs.  First couple weeks I would put in one LU for $10 or something, try to get up to $50.  Then did 2 LUs for $20 maybe each, see if I can get to $100, etc..  I've gotten it so I will take out a bit of winnings and just roll with house money.  Even if I lose a bit, I know that I at least made some on the year (plus it was only $10 of my money this year, and even that was from my small winnings from last year). 

I am now sold on Gordon and Ajayi. Wish it wouldn't have taken me so long also. Gordon has had the lite bulb come on and SD is using him all over the place. He runs hard, catches the ball well, etc. He is not as physical a runner as Ajayi, mostly because he is not a big and stout. He will stick his head down and try though. Ajayi runs with reckless abandon and it looks like Miami is going to ride him. Their offensive line looks pretty good too. They are winning now, so why not. Haven't looked at next week yet, but good observations. 

I think you and I are very similar on how we think about our bankroll and DFS. Although last year, I started just like this year with the $1 and $2 dollars stuff and was doing well. I decided to move up mid season because I had done so well, wow, that was a mistake. Seems like it was just much harder to do anything. i am not moving up this year, even though I think I am a better player with a year under my belt. 

I rarely throw in a entry in the millionaire GPP, but once in a while I will just for fun, kind of like winning the lottery dream.

Probably wasn't clear, but I am still trying to stick to the $1-2 stuff, just doing more lineups and attacking them differently.  So first week maybe I had 1 LU and just did 10 $1 50/50s with it.  Of course I run the risk of losing 1/2 my starting amount, but WTF- I am starting with $25. If that hits, maybe the next week I do 15-20 $1 50/50s.  Then if I get to a certain point, I will maybe do 2 LUs for $15 each, not be shy about stacking, and through them in a gpp, 3x, and 5x, etc..   I will dip into a huge $5 2x on FD if I can't find a couple bigger 2x for $2 (I usually stick to the highest # of entries and single entry ones I can find).  The biggest entry gpp I have done is $4 on DK and $2 on FD - not a high roller by any stretch, but am up 7x on Dk and 10X on FD this year so far, so I am having fun with it. 

One of my buddies tried out FD for the first time this year, and I told him how I do it (and tell him that's not the recommended way to do it), and that lucky ******* has damn near doubled up each week.  He started with $25 I think in week 4 or 5, and just went all in the first couple weeks.  He was at $445 last week, took $245 out, and turned that $200 he left in there into $400+ again this weekend with his Rodgers/Zeke/Gordon LU.  

Yea, that is how it goes. We are great at giving advice, but it never seems to help us! lol

Last year I told a guy about it and what I did. He won $1000 dollars the first week in a booster contest. I couldn't believe it. It cost him like $25 or $50 the get in it. Way more than I would have spent. 

He had the fever then, and ended up losing everything getting in the higher stakes stuff and getting killed.

Yeah, that's what I would be afraid of.  I assume even as you dip into the the $5 and $10 stuff the sharks are swimming a lot more.  Another reason I try to stick to SE stuff.  Can't imagine how many lineups some of the pros are running.  Listening to the podcasts and hearing them say stuff like "Yeah, I am going to be about 13% exposed to OBJ this week in gpps", and yeah, they are running out 100s to 1000s of lineups.  No thanks, I will try to limit my exposure to those guys as much as possible. 

Second straight good week for me, not as good as last but I didn't trot out the $50 double up this week.

Line Up 1 - Brees, Bell, Zeke, Ty Montgomery, D. Thomas, M. Thomas, Gates, West, Rams - 148.32  Cashed in 9 of 11.

Line Up 2 - Rodgers, Zeke, West. D. Adams, D. Thomas, M. Thomas, Gates, Gordon, Rams - 175.88  Cashed in 7 of 7

Line Up 3 - Prescott, Zeke, Murray, D. Adams, Diggs, Moncrief, Gates, West, Rams - 156.28  Cashed in 2 of 2

$50 out, brought $98 back in.

Nice!

Very nice. Gates ended up being a nice play after all. I know Rivers loves him, but I wonder how things will work when Hunter comes back. It amazes me how Gates can get so wide open, he can't run anymore.

Nice job on this call, congrats!  

Before reading this post (and after I saw Kaep blow up), I decided I'm going to have a few NO/whomever stacks each week as a rule of thumb

I wonder the same, but I believe Gates has gotten more targets than Hunter since he's been back anyway (will have to double check that).  He and Rivers have a bromance, and I am sure the whole team wants to get Gates that record - I think only 4 more TDs to go?

I usually think the same thing, but they do get Denver this week (albeit at home).  It will be an interesting matchup, and does have a 48 o/u with NO as favorites as of now.  Tough matchup for the NO WRs, but Denver can be run on, and I am sure one of the NO Wrs might be good play, just not sure which one.  An interesting gpp stack might be the other way though and make it a game stack with Siemian/D.Thomas and M.Thomas or something like that. 

Part of what drew me to the game was the ####ty NO def, but the other part was the oddly high implied total for SF.  It also was one of the 2 or 3 games last week that forecasted both teams scoring in the top 12 or so.  Especially since there have been a lot of teams on bye each of the last few week has had a "odd" team or two that high implied total that normally doesn't show up, and I look long and hard at those games for gpp.  A couple weeks ago it was KC, last week SF seemed like they stood out, and this week on first look Philly stands out.  Right now they are favored vs. Atl with an implied total of 25.5 vs 24 for Atlanta.  Since their run game has been crap, Wentz has averaged almost 40 attempts/game over the last 3 weeks.  Oh, and Atlanta just happens to give up the most pts/game to Qbs and the 2nd most to WRs.  I think Matthews is in play for cash, but a Wentz stack with somebody else is an interesting gpp play.  Atlanta is also gives up the 6th most pts to RBs, and just happens to average 8 recs and 60yds a game to Rbs as well.  I am thinking about a Wentz/Sproles stack on DK this week. 

Well, I ended up losing $8 on the week. After a great start on Thursday night, things fell apart on the weekend. 

My Thurs/Mon LU saved my butt for sure with a score 173. 

My other two cash LU's pulled in scores of 131 and 133. This is the first time that I have had 2 LU's get blanked totally. 

Luck and Bell not producing hurt, and my calls on Austin and D. Thomas hurt too.

Looking back, Austin was not a good cash play for sure, way too inconsistent. I just thought coming off the bye they would be trying to figure out ways to get him the ball. They paid him a bunch of money at the beginning of the season, he sure hasn't earned it. Luck and Bell just had bad weeks as far as fantasy points went, to me they are still good cash plays most weeks. D. Thomas just didn't do much, and I will probably be shying away from Denver all together until I see some improvement. 

I pretty much broke even on all my GPP entries for the week also. 

Once again, I have been very satisfied with my 3 cash LU strategy and game selection. In the past, a week like this would have been a total loss. But because 1 out of 3 cash LU's hit, I saved my week. This is actually the first week that I have actually lost money with at least 1 hitting. The other 3 weeks that one hit I actually still won a little money. Usually because the other 2 didn't get totally blanked. 

Here is an example of how it usually works out from week to week, just for anyone who wants to try the strategy. 

Lets say I put $25 each in 3 cash LU's for the week, that would be $75 total. Then I usually put another $25 in GPP's. With my game selections, most of the time, if one of the cash LU's hits, I  triple my money. (Not always of course) So, basically, you end up breaking even in your cash games if only one hits.  Then you have the GPP's to decide the week, which is a crap shoot. 

This is the first week that I have had 2 LU's get totally blanked. What usually happens is 1 will hit well and clean up. #2 might only score enough to win the double ups. #3 might win the double ups, 3x, and place in a few leagues. In those weeks you still make money. Even if you have one LU get totally blanked, I usually still win money. 

So far, I have had only one week that has been terrible, week 3. That week, each LU scored barely enough to win a few double ups and that was it. All my 3x, 5x, Leagues, and GPP's busted. 

I have 2 weeks on DK that all 3 LU did well and those have been huge weeks for me. The other weeks have been somewhere in the middle and nice cash weeks. 

I do he same thing on FD. I have been doing better overall on DK vs FD, but still ahead for the year on FD.
