2015 FanDuel - Week 2 (1 Viewer)

Hello,

I'm new to Fanduel. This is my first EVER lineup. I'm in a $25 50/50 Rookie League (100 players). What do you guys think? I've played many years of Fantasy Football but this is my first time trying Fanduel Daily Games. Be gentle....or not, your honesty is ok too. I still have time to change it.

QB- S. Bradford (phily)

RB- M. Ingram (NO)

RB- J. Forsett (BAL)

WR- J. Landry (MIA)

WR- J. Edelman (NE)

WR- J. Matthews (PHI)

TE- J. Witten (DAL)

K- J. Brown (NYG)

DEF- Buffalo

I used all the money. I was shooting for balance. Thoughts?

I would love to hear your strategies/system to winning in Daily FF Games.

Thanks,

Jim
Welcome to DFS! Lots of good information in this forum.

 
Anyone else have a problem pulling the trigger on Danny Woodhead? Just looking at his 70s pornstache makes me question may decision to roster him.

 
Anyone worried about Chris Ivory?

He tweaked his groin in practice this week and was limited. Coach says he should be good to go for Monday night but man....that would suck if he reinjures it in like the first quarter.

 
Guys I'm targeting in all of my lineups:

Decker-#2 WRs kill the Colts

Edelman-Rex will go to his grave to stop Gronk

Tevin Coleman-I see an all out focus to stop Julio

Good luck this week!

I am, not only in daily fantasy but also in "regular" leagues. I'm fading him in my cash lineups, but will likely roll him out in some of my GPP action.

I think it looks fine except that I think your choice of defense conflicts with Edelman at WR. Somebody can correct me if Im wrong but I think you want to avoid QB/RB/WRs who are up against the defense you pick. Although maybe WRs are the exception here, cant remember.

That said, I like Edelman because I imagine the Buffalo D will be focused on Gronk.
Thanks for looking over my lineup. I will look for another Defense. I didn't see that and I do like New Orleans this week, so maybe I go that route.

Thanks again!

Jim

Welcome to DFS! Lots of good information in this forum.
Thanks! This being my first weekend of DFS, I"m not sure how I will do, but I feel pretty confident. They make it sound so easy...lol. All I have to do is get in the top half of a 100 field. I think I can do that. We will see soon enough.

Thanks again,

Jim

There are larger double ups than 100 people. Some of the large double ups have thousands of people and generally those have lower cut lines.

 
Definitely tougher to build lineups this week. Think I'm going 50% Bradford, 40% Palmer, 10% Foles in cash lineups. Then building around that with a lot of Brown/Odell/Julio/JMatt/Garcon/Fitzgerald at WR. TE is a toss up. I'd be pretty much 100% Gronk if he weren't going up against Rex, but I think I'll still end up with about 35% Gronk. Filling in the rest with some undetermined %s of ASJ, Heath, Marty B, Olsen.

Seriously no clue yet at RB. Guys I'm considering: Ingram, Hill, Abdullah, Forte, Forsett, Hyde, Stewart. Ready to move big on Karlos Williams and Benny Cunningham given injury news tomorrow morning.

That's where I'm at with it right now though. Feeling solid at QB and WR, still developing my strategy everywhere else.

 
Also ready to move on K. WIliams...Im pretty sure I am going to fade Ivory. With the Injury and a good chance Luck comes out with a chip on his shoulder, I think this might be a passing game with them behind.

Fanduel pricing is kind of tricky as I have mentioned. I do think there is merit to having 2 maybe 3 cash lineups. The only thing is that if you have 2 or more, you should probably make them roughly the same in share %. Then you are looking at winning 2 out of the 3 to have a positive ROI.

 
Can someone give me the odds on the McCoy/Karlos status tomorrow? Going to a wedding tonight in the French Quarter. Real good chance I get wrecked tonight and won't be in shape to make cohesive lineup changes in the morning. I'm currently fading the whole situation but Karlos looks like great value if he's the only guy.

McCoy participated in individual drills yesterday. It sounds like he will play some number of snaps, but nothing Ive heard speaks to how many or how effective he will be with them.

That's basically what I heard. Karlos is so cheap that he opens up some really interesting plays elsewhere. I can easily build a lineup w/ the big 3 WR and Gronk if I use him. Feels like he's got an OK floor even if McCoy starts.

If I didn't think I could make changes in the morning I think I would stick with fading the situation. Looks McCoy will play and if he does I cant see gambling on Williams.

 
I think this is my favorite line up this weekend.

QB Drew Brees NO V TB

RB DeMarco Murray PHI V DAL

RB Ameer Abdullah DET @ MIN

WR Antonio Brown PIT V SF

WR Julio Jones ATL @ NYG

WR Brandon Coleman NO V TB

TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins TB @ NO

K Zach Hocker NO V TB

D New England Patriots NE @ BUF



 
Powell is a cheap option if Ivory cant go problem is we likely wont know Ivory's status til Monday. Ivory is complete off my lineups now with health and game flow both being negatives.

 
Josh McCown is OUT for this week. At 6500 I have get some exposure on Manziel, at home, vs Tennessee. Before last week the Titans were considred a horrific defense. They may still be.

 
Which lineup do you like better in cash?

This was HeadChopper's lineup recommendation in his Chopping Block video on RG

Bradford

Marshawn

Ingram

Julio

Matthews

Terrance

ASJ

Josh Brown

Rams

My a variation of mine

Bradford

Forsett

Ingram

Julio

Matthews

Cooks

ASJ

Josh Brown

Carolina

I find Hyde and Terrance the tricky cash options as they will be well owned, probably Hyde more so. Lynch is the safer cash play than Forsett but Forsett could have just as good of a game and you get Cooks. Cooks has a higher floor than Terrance but if a lot of people are on Terrance that could make Cooks a subpar play.

Kuechly out for what its worth. This will be the first game he has missed in his career.

Mallet could be a nice gamble

I like your version better for cash. Hard to have a higher floor than Ingram and Forsett.

FWIW, I believe Beasley is the play for Dallas. The starting CB's for Philly are more the taller/bigger type, and they were playing a safety at nickel last week. Small and quick is the better matchup.

The Philly ILB's (Kendricks and Alanso) are excellent in coverage which takes away Witten.

Your version looks to be 200 over cap.

Is one of the big 3 Matthews? If not, how are you freeing up the approx 1600 needed to get ODB?

QB Nick Foles $6,500 ␡
Karlos Williams RB $4,700 ␡
Ameer Abdullah RB $6,400 ␡
Antonio Brown $9,200 ␡
Jordan Matthews WR $7,000 ␡
Julio Jones WR $8,800 ␡
Rob Gronkowski TE $8,300 ␡
Josh Brown K $4,500 ␡
New Orleans Saints D $4,500

Didn't defense cost stop at 4500 last year or am I losing my mind? I thought something looked fishy last week and now I think it's that defense can fall to 4000 this year. Maybe I'm wrong...
Yes that's new
 
Pats D a sneaky play on the cheap this week. Belicheck with extra time to prepare for a young QB. I'm rolling them in some cash and GPP.

I'm the cautious type. I pulled him from my lineup in one league, but in another league I got Powell off the Waiver Wire, just in case he's out.

Yeah, Matthews, not ODB. I meant in terms of likely big ownership, not salary.

I am amazed by how little love ODB seems to be getting tho.

 
Nursing a massive hangover so I'm a little fuzzy. This is the cash lineup I've been tinkering with all morning. I think this feels ok but I'm not confident in my cognitive abilities right now

Tyrod

Ingram

Hyde

Antonio

Stevie

Fitzgerald

Gronk

Catanzaro

Rams

I think all the talk about Ryan being able to stop Gronk is a bunch of hooey. Since Gronk started Gronking he's been better than his average against Ryan's defenses. Buffalo's certainly got the personnel to do things but I have a feeling Brady will be under pressure and need the underneath stuff.

 
I like Vernon davis price. Steelers defense is terrible and they gave up 4 tds to TEs last week (yeah i know 3 were to gronk). Anyway heres my lineup

Qb- palmer

Rb- lynch

rb- forsett

Wr- brown

Wr- decker

Wr- fitzgerald

Te- davis

K- brown

Def- balt

 
My ESPN league has the following on Forsett. He seems fine to me. He's listed as Probable for the game.

Forsett (shoulder) is probable for Sunday's game in Oakland, CSN Bay Area reports.
Spin:
Forsett logged full practices Thursday and Friday, following Wednesday's limited session. He's locked in as the Ravens' lead back, but with Lorenzo Taliaferro (knee) listed as probable, Forsett won't necessarily get the goal-line and short-yardage work.

Good luck this weekend all,

Jim


 
Alshon officially out now I think. Seems like Bennett may get a bump, no?
I agree a bit of a bump to Bennett and Forte. Wilson gets a bump to but he still isn't more than a shot in the dark low ownership play in GPP IMO. Royal may be shadowed by Peterson so I don't think I would go there. While against a stud, Peterson doesn't scare me, Royal isn't a stud.

 
Bennett's salary is an odd fit for my lineups that don't already include him. I'm either up at Gronk or down in the Rudolph/ASJ range. I am rolling Witten in a cash lineup, but I like him better than Bennett regardless.

My highest exposure right now is to:

Julio

Stevie Johnson

Hyde

Forte

After that it's a pretty big drop.

 
This is my second week at DFS. I know I am making a mistake by having way to many line-ups. Oh well, at least its fun to tinker. I need to limit myself to 2-3 line ups max I think.

IMO, cash games, its most profitable to have one lineup. You need to diversify exposure if you are planning on rolling out more than one lineup.

 
The bulk of my line ups has either has at:

qb: Palmer or Brees

rb: Abdullah/Lynch/Lacy/Ingram

wr Matthews/Fitz/Cooks/Green with Brown/OBJ/Julio sprinkled in a few.

te: ASJ

k: Zuerlin/Brown

DEF: Rams/Titans.

Well, yeah...and it's also the most non profitable when your lineup blows for whatever reason.

 
On Fanduel, MArshawn is listed as probable with the reason "coach's decision". WTF?
