I like this. I keep seeing Hopkins pop up in the IVC, but he does kinda scare me with that Qb. Can't be worse than Brock, I guess. I keep gravitating to Crabtree for less $ in cash. but Dodds doesn't agree and he gets paid the big bucks.
Seems like a lot of risky guys in there for cash. Fleener hasn't panned out in NO, did I miss something this preseason to make me think otherwise? He puts up a 4 and walker puts up 7-85-1 you are chasing points. Tate might move around and probably doesn't get shadowed by Peterson but faces tough matchups unless he's vs bethel. Funchess also seems like a huge dart throw for cash. I won't argue with paying for arod or the rbs. I guess I'd like to see a game of Pryor before I'm trusting him for cash. I'm also wrong a lot so don't let me sow too much doubt. I'll post my lineup here in a sec.
Arizona is 28th DVP
@Devin Knotts - these are listed as "mid-size gpp" projections. I am just curious as to what size of field we are talking about, and how does this translate to the huge ones that we see. Is it as simple as people getting more an more contrarian as they get bigger, so the guys at the top of that list decrease in ownership %?Devin Knotts said:
I think when he refers to mid-size he is referring to mid-stakes. High-Stakes GPP ownership tends to change a little bit as people have less entries and play more chalk.
Aren't the Giants one of the few teams that had success stopping Zeke, or am I thinking about somebody else?reel_smooth said:
Thanks, just curious how the #s might translate to what a lot of us in here seem to play - the $1-$5 range.
Just heard back from Steve. These represent the mid-stakes biggest contests such as the Sunday Million. For the $1-$5 range, typically the top end players will come down a little bit and the lower owned players will go up a little bit depending on the week.
To a point, yes; he had 51 yds & a TD in week 1, 107 yds but no score in the second meeting.
I think Dj, bell, McCoy, and gurley will all have large workloads. I have some of all these guys. For me, i wanted to broaden my player portfolio, and I could see either of those guys struggling more than we expect. DJ is probably pretty safe, but you're paying top dollar. Bell has been a holdout and is on the road, I'm worried he is sluggish and worried they put it out of reach early and they use backups.KarmaPolice said:
All of my Thursday lineups (4 Gpp, no cash) had smith as my qb, but I had no hunt. It wasn't a kc/ne stack either, I thought he would be chasing points and was hoping for this type of game. Had kelce too, but am sitting in good shape with $$ in all 4. Now, to watch the rest of my team stink it up. Pretty sure I didn't have hunt in my Dk billionaire challenge, so looks like that ship has sailed.KarmaPolice said:Anybody start the week with Smith and Hunt?
I completely get what you are saying - I am the one who hated playing cash games in MLB for some of those reasons. I am just different with the 2 sports just because of the huge # of entries in most of these gpps. I feel like in NFL you are basically stuck playing more cash. I had more confidence doing OK in a 10K entry gpp in MLB than I do trying to do anything in these 100K+ entry tourneys for football.reel_smooth said:
I'm heavy on stars/scrubs this week.KarmaPolice said:
I keep scrubbing it up with the TE/WR2 and WR3, and landing on Wilson or Mariota for QB.
I'm a little more middle of the road. I like a lot of WR prices so I'm willing to pay up elsewhere, especially rb. Robbie Anderson seems to be my favorite cheap play.
I don't think it will come into play as much on FD as it does on DK with the flex. I hardly ever use it.
I have some wright stock, but I think Chicago pounds the rock and tries to keep glennon s attempts closer to 20 than 30. Maybe game script doesn't allow that, and I think wright was clearly the safety valve for a guy who doesn't want to make mistakes with a top draft pick poised to take his job. Buffalo shipped off their top corner and have liabilities there. I have them both in one Gpp, and paid up elsewhere.
The margin beteeen profitability and not is so thin though. And my Sundays are usually crowded. I actually drifted to the Thurs-Mon slates some last year just b/c they suited my schedule -- lock Thursday night so nothing to fool with Sat/Sun
Somebody has to catch passes for the Jets - I think Anderson could be a decent, sneaky GPP play. Just my $.02 ..............Snorkelson said:
I love how everybody's mind works differently. I thought guys like R.Anderson and Wright for cash and guys like P.Richardson, Sanu/Gabriel, Z.Jones, Goodwin, etc.. as cheap pivots for gpps.
i hate that fanduel has late swap for football. appreciated being able to relax and not be actively manage all day. oh well -- will see how it affects me. Will definitely be playing less volume on days when I can't be watching as close.Tennessee_ATO said:
I am liking Wright well enough but would prefer not 100% exposure to him this weekend. When you're optimizing through footballguys definitely getting him in the wr3 slot a lot. not sure who else i am liking cheap at WR. Talking myself into some Beasley I think.KarmaPolice said:
Oh, I have Gabriel & Richardson very much on my GPP radar too. I guess you could make the case for Anderson for both formats as he'll certainly get his looks; just not very confident in his floor due to the Jets QB situation.
Liking John Brown & Randall Cobb a lot as a cheap WR in addition to Gabriel & Richardson, mentioned above. All teams have high projected scores. And I just can't get away from feeling like the SEA/GB game is gonna be a real shoot-out.
That's another one too. I was just tinkering with a gpp with Rodgers or Wilson and Cobb+P.Rich at the core.
I like it. Not excited about the TE, but you have to sacrifice somewhere to get the big guns. I was just playing around with the following...
I like that as well. I have been looking at Kizer/Wentz as an option on DK for cash too b/c the price is so low. Seems weird, but doesn't need much to reach value, especially with a QB that could get some rush yards.
I like it-looks alot likemine.
