Fair enough.The ownership for the MNF players is always going to be lower in this slate because DFS players don't want to lock players into a cash LU that don't play for 4 more days.
I did put some GPPs in with MNF players but unless they are heads and tails above the other game players I just can't put that kind of money at risk by playing MNFFair enough.
Point taken. I think most of the movement I saw were on the riskier, 3x/5x/100person contests where people might be taking more risks on players like Graham and Woods.Megla said:I did put some GPPs in with MNF players but unless they are heads and tails above the other game players I just can't put that kind of money at risk by playing MNF

Dear FanDuel User,
FanDuel has confirmed that there was a scoring error for last week's 1 PM only and Rivalry Week NFL game slates. Specifically, the Baltimore Ravens defense was incorrectly credited with a blocked FG at the time prizes were paid out. This was a confirmed error by FanDuel's stats provider. Please note that this was a unique situation and different from many late stat corrections as this was not a judgment play, this was a clear discrepancy.
As points for the Ravens defense were wrongly scored when those contests settled and prizes were paid out, FanDuel will be awarding the appropriate winnings to any users who would have won additional prize money with the correct scoring. If you are receiving this email, you have been credited additional prize money as a result of this scoring discrepancy.
Please reach out to support@fanduel.com if you have any questions.

and sure enough a $1000.00 was added to my account
I'm not sure they are penalizing those who gained from the original change, just awarding those who the error hurtSo anyone with ravens should of made less money? Weird I didn't get an email. . .
Right . I had about 30% exposure . Did your games in your history tab update to the new winnings ? That's gonna be the only way I know if I made more with my volume of play . I never to seem to get their emails . . .I'm not sure they are penalizing those who gained from the original change, just awarding those who the error hurt
No, my history is still showing a 5th place $1500.00 finish, the original finish was 3rd for $2500.00Right . I had about 30% exposure . Did your games in your history tab update to the new winnings ?

I'm in on Ty. Using him in half my lineups and figuring 12-16 points.Interested in people's thoughts on Tyrell Williams this week? Going up against a mediocre Miami defense and possibly no Benjamin. I think he's a decent cheap option for a TD.
Or the handy you find in you suit jacket pocket that you wore to a wedding last yearjust like finding a tewnty in your jeans right before you wash them amirite?
Him over Jordan Matthews? Those two I'm deciding on for my final WR spotI'm in on Ty. Using him in half my lineups and figuring 12-16 points.
Same here. Have 6 total lineups, 3 with ty,2 with Mathews and 1 with crowder.Him over Jordan Matthews? Those two I'm deciding on for my final WR spot
Both good choices, IMO - wouldn't sweat to much over which one you pick, but, I guess I'd give the slight edge to Mathews at home against ATL's defense. Just my $.02.Him over Jordan Matthews? Those two I'm deciding on for my final WR spot

I think a lot of it is that people are so on David, Fitz, their K, and their D that looking at Palmer seems like a bit of overkill and oversaturation. Like you, I have been staring at Palmer for the last couple days. Looking at the implied total, the game predictor, the price, how terrible SF is, I am starting to wonder if the best move might just be to stack David and Palmer in cash and get your hands on all that scoring. If I did that, I am not sure I would be rolling with the K and the D as well, but it is interesting.Not seeing a lot of Carson Palmer, seems like a solid spot for him to produce. Seeing tons of Ben, I have a little bit of him but I'm not seeing the monster game ahead. He looked rusty/hampered by injury and has had a week to either heal or knock off the rust, but I want to see it first. I think bell and Elliott will be grinding it out, and they won't be trying to throw it 40 times. Cards stack for me in a handful of cash/gpp.
A little late, but, here's mine, FWIW:
QB/ Flacco
RB/ M. Gordon - Sproles
WR/ OBJ - AJ Green - S. Smith Sr.
TE/ J. Reed
K/ Lutz
DEF/ N.E.
Flacco & Smith did well for me last night - we'll see how the rest do.
A handy? Freudian slip there?Or the handy you find in you suit jacket pocket that you wore to a wedding last year
Arizona, unfortunately, is the #1 defense against TEs this year Philadelphia is pretty close, but after them its a pretty steep drop to the 3rd toughest against TEs. They allow a passer rating of 55.3 to the position which is 10 points lower than Philadelphia.Drafthorse said:@NixonMask whats your research show for vs AZ for the TE? (is SF TE +play?)
Chip's TE's usually get results, game flow and why wouldn't you roster a guy named Vance?
I get what you are saying, and we have this debate every week, but I think it might be more dangerous to go a against the grain this week and fade David. FBG also talked about it a bit in their Wisdom of the Staff article.I agree with Karma. DJ should be the most owned, but the second guy could be more flexible. For Cash, it's not that big of deal to differentiate that much. I do think there are a lot of other RB's you could put in that 2nd spot. One guy nobody is talking about is Demarco. I just don't think GB rush defense is lights out. Plus he catches a lot of passes.
I also think some of those other RB's may just outscore DJ this week. I know DJ is a great play. I just feel like he might not play in the 4th quarter at all, at least that possibility exists if they blow them out. You can do some more things with your LU's if you don't use him at that high price.
The way I am looking at it is like this. Can the two RB's I pick give similar output as DJ and another one, and save me enough cap space to significantly upgrade somewhere else. If so, I am not adverse to going away from him.
To me this is a little different than a "Value Chalk RB" like we have had the last few weeks.
In a points per dollar idea, one of the big reasons you had to use them was because of the cap space they gave to upgrade at other positions. If everyone played them, and they didn't go off, you still got the advantage of the extra cap space to upgrade at other spots, that the people who didn't play them didn't have.
in DJ's case, if he goes off, and you don't have him, you still get the extra cap space to upgrade at other spots that the DJ owner didn't get.
I am starting to confuse myself now. I just think there are a few RB's that could score as much as him this week, and at a lower cost. If that lower cost can benefit your team at other spots, i think you need to think very hard about doing it.
I will be...............
Going down to Cutler really frees things up for cash but every time I got cheap QB I get smoked. Something like:
Cutler - Johnson, Gordon - Evans, Jeffery, J. Matthews - Kendricks - K - Def
Whole lineup has high usage and good matchups. If you drop down to Wentz you can swap out Alshon for Jordy. Can also swap out Matthews for whichever budget guy floats your boat.

I myself have not played a lot of cash game on these slates unless I see the right players that fill out a good solid cash LU. Not a lot of risk. I have done it twice this year and won both times. I do think there was a lot more overlap on players, with so few to pick from. I like doing the GPP in those small slates too, and that is what I usually do. I don't know off the top of my head what the cutoff in cash was, I seem to recall it was actually much lower. I will double check.I'm considering some 1:00pm-only slate exposure, as a way to escape the chalk at RB.
For example, removing Johnson and Gordon from the equation allows me to move slightly down at RB, and field top WRs:
Mariota - DeMarco Murray, Ingram -- Julio, Evans, Jeffrey -- Z. Miller -- Crosby -- Redskins
In general, is it advisable to stray off the main slate for cash games? GPP? This is my rookie year at DFS, and having fewer games available make me nervous. Intuitively, it seems like with less options available, you really have to predict game flow with a lot more precision. Much like investing in stock options... It's not enough to pick the right stock and right price direction, you also have to predict the timing of the move, with no wiggle room..
I don't disagree, but it wouldn't shock me if the game played below the o/u. Right now the implied score is 28-21, which suggests 2 or 3 Brady TDs. But Seattle can get after the QB and Brady, for all his greatness, regresses towards average quick with effective pressure. Given time he can torch any defense. He loathes pressure tho. That's what worries me with that game. I don't think it's likely to happen, only that it's a scenario I wouldn't be shocked to see.I am a homer, so take it for what it's worth. Sure NE's wrs aren't great, but the last 2 times he played Seattle, Brady has thrown a ton. I think he has plenty of weapons to attack the Seattle D which hasn't been great the last few games.
Always great to hear/read your thoughts Tennessee.Been totally out of pocket. Just now getting to look at things.
Podunker, beware of Murray -- battling turf toe. He's playing and it looks like he's the only real option, but turf toe can be a real problem for a RB.
Also, I think GB is going to obliterate the Titans. Rodgers, despite his up-and-down season, is my #1 cash QB. Fitting him in w/ the RB plays might be tough, but I think he's going to absolutely shred the Titans. Don't be seduced into thinking the Titans aren't one of the worst teams in the NFL b/c they were .500 at the midpoint. They're bad.
Which likely makes Mariota a good play. He is not very good when he HAS to make plays, so they try to limit his responsibilities as much as possible. I don't see this being close in the 2nd half, which means he's going to have the volume. At his salary, he's probably a good play.
The rest of the higher-projected QBs worry me for various reasons. Cutler is Cutler, no thank you. Wilson is too high. Brady probably has a big game, but his WRs really do suck and Seattle is Seattle. I think Ben is OK, but not great. Cam is so inconsistent and his OL is horrid. Palmer requires a stack w/ Johnson -- not outside the realm of reasonable, but atypical. Wentz -- nope. Dak may be OK, but I have a feeling he's going to struggle this week
At RB, I like Bell over Gordon. Dallas is going to lose in Pitt I think. I believe it will be Bell who has the big game. Dallas is really pretty good vs. WR's. I think Bell tops 100 on the ground and gets a half dozen targets in the passing attack.
Alternate RBs I like -- Forte is playing so well right now, $7100 feels like a steal. Ajayi is underpriced too. Sproles might be worth it @ his price, but feels a little risky. Howard might work as well.
Just about every week it is like this for me. I am a lot more willing to roll with a guy like Cutler on DK than on FD because of the pricing.Always great to hear/read your thoughts Tennessee.
I have Rodgers going in one of my cash LU this week, yea the one with Murray, but it is still possible to play him and get stud RBs. I stacked him, but a lot people might not want to do that. I do it because of my game selections. Murray's toe does give me pause, but he is all they really have. He is probably the No. 2 receiver on the team also, behind Walker. I will look in the morning for any late news about him. I can move down or up if I need to.
I kind of agree with Karma on Brady. Bennett being out for Seattle really hurts their pass rush. Even if they start getting pressure, they will just go with the short passing game to stop it. Brady can get the ball out so quick its hard to get pressure.
I agree Sproles is risky to me also. I really don't like him at all on FD, I like him on DK much better because of PPR. Forte has kind of been like Gordon to me. I am jumping on the Gordon train about 3 weeks too late, and thats probably what will happen with Forte. He is just getting up there in years and looks slow to me when I watch him. But he has been performing.
For some reason I have went high at QB on my FD LU's and low at QB on my DK LU's this week. I do like Dak, I think they will be behind and he will have to throw the ball. I do think Zeke is going to surprise a lot of people with his skills out the backfield catching the ball. He is still going to be a stud this week.
