Maybe they’ll pick up Blankenship…On to week 4, but may be doing so with no kickers. Lost Rodrigo Blankenship after his week 1 suckage, and Austin Seibert just missed 2 of 3.
Note that In week 2, ALL TEAM SIZES except #18 and #19 player teams saw fewer teams eliminated than were eliminated in those same team sizes in week 1. It will be interesting to see if this slight trend toward larger lineups being safer continues. (In week 2, more 18 and 19 player teams were eliminated than in week 1. The exact opposite is true for every other team size).
I think your chances are quite good actually. Best of luck.Currently sitting at 121 with Daniel Jones (+8), Barkley (+8.9) and Toney. Not looking good for me
Aaa goo neee!It looks like we have lost @SeniorVBDStudent this week. He finally got Kittle back, but the WR's did not pull their weight. Sorry pal, but see you in the postseason contest.
Someone probably will at some point, he struggled week 1 and is coming off his injury last year, but is still a 83% kicker over his (short) pro career, which matches his collegiate 4-season % (where he also went 200-for-200 on XPs)... so unless it turns out that his injury has long-term effects and he can't recover his form there's a good chance he picks up somewhere at some point this season. I'm not saying he's All-Pro, just that there are NFL teams out there with similar-or-worse guys starting, and that he's probably the best available FA K at the moment when someone struggles or gets injured.Maybe they’ll pick up Blankenship…On to week 4, but may be doing so with no kickers.

Those numbers seem misleading. For example, Leonard Fournette was 9 times more expensive than Zuerlein. Fournette would have to average around 98 points per week just to keep track with Zuerlein. I think it's better to break them down by position, because I expect K's to rule this list, followed by D's, QB's, TE's, WR's, then RB's.Points scored per dollar of cap $ through 3 weeks: (I only have a kicker left to go tonight)
Three weeks is not much to go on, but these are my best value players so far...

Zay Jones 2.82

Derrick Carr 1.98
Kirk Cousins 1.59

i think its more that cheaper players overall will rule this metric but yeah agree. obviously zay hasnt been twice as valuable as the sun god the year. also the amount of points these players can score has to be factored in. the players who score more and cost more will be much more valuable overall despite a lower pts/$ obviously. its why we prefer to use h-value over straight pts/$ in dfs.Those numbers seem misleading.

Valid point, and I agree with you completely. That's why I only listed skill players in bold print in the original post. They are really the majority of the contest. Kickers and Defense seldom contribute as much to the total score, although you have to love what Gano did last week and Zeurlein this week.Those numbers seem misleading.

Yep. Rolling with Lance + picket instead of hurts was clearly a mistake. Doubs might have saved me, but I’m out@Joe Bryant - scratch me off. I’m pretty far from the same.
This entry is still alive
Week 1
QB Trey Lance - $15 0.00 QB Derek Carr - $13 0.00 QB Kenny Pickett - $3 0.00 RB Aaron Jones - $27 0.00 RB Travis Etienne - $22 0.00 RB Josh Jacobs - $19 0.00 RB Dameon Pierce - $10 0.00 RB Tyler Allgeier - $7 0.00 WR Justin Jefferson - $35 0.00 WR Courtland Sutton - $19 0.00 WR Rashod Bateman - $16 0.00 WR JuJu Smith-Schuster - $15 0.00 TE George Kittle - $18 0.00 TE Austin Hooper - $8 0.00 TE Mo Alie-Cox - $6 0.00 PK Cade York - $4 0.00 PK Rodrigo Blankenship - $3 0.00 PK Austin Seibert - $3 0.00 TD San Francisco 49ers - $4 0.00 TD Detroit Lions - $3 0.00 TOTAL 0.00 CUT LINE 0.00
Likely regrets -
1. not taking Doubs. I had him in for a long time, decided to go with picket and spend another dollar on a defense and kicker.
2. Only rolling 4 WR. but I really do like these 4 and they don’t share a bye.
3. Going with Lance and Pickett instead of hurts or Russell. Seems like added risk without added reward.
4. Allgeier is probably wasted money.
5. Only two defenses - could have added a $3 defense instead of Pickett.
Reasons for the decisions I will regret.
1. I wanted the Lance / kittle stack. Could pay off big.
2. I expect Pickett to be starting by mid season. I don’t know if he’ll be good, but hopefully he starts by Carr’s bye and is able to lock in a higher floor. Could very easily be a wasted $3.
3. No other RB seemed to be as likely to score points as a potential difference maker at around $7.
4. The byes at WR line up well. This may be my favorite group and injuries can knock us out anyway.
Just catching up in here. The 2nd half has to be better than the 1st half, right? Right?Currently sitting at 121 with Daniel Jones (+8), Barkley (+8.9) and Toney. Not looking good for me
You're a mortal lock to advance. Care to wager $10 on the outcome?

You were plenty ahead of the line without Barkley.It appears I’m alive, especially with the Barkley TD.
Interestingly, the exact other group of RB & WR kept me in it this week. Pierce & Stevenson showed up along with Palmer & Sutton.You were plenty ahead of the line without Barkley.It appears I’m alive, especially with the Barkley TD.
I was so close. Final cut was 133.05.With Schultz, Gallup, and Toney inactive, my guess is the cut goes up to 132.

I prefer to play it the other way and say I will advance every week. I haven't come close to the cut, and week 4 will be no different. There's no such thing as jinxes!Just catching up in here.

Cut was 131 so Barkley alone put you over. Jones had you clearing the bar by double digits and put you clear of the cut by 1700 people without even scoring a TD.
If you gave me the option of taking your "not looking good" position every remaining cut week I'd take that deal in a heartbeat right now.
Congrats and see you next week.
Well, sort of
Campbell said Seibert was "a little bit sore" Monday, which could have the Lions consider other options for this week's game against the Seattle Seahawks.
"We’ll see what happens with him," Campbell said.

My approach was to view it in terms of projected points on bye each week (rather than cap dollars on bye). I arranged my bye weeks so that the percentage of my total projected points that were on bye in any given week, were roughly equal or less than the percentage of NFL teams on bye in those same weeks. For example, weeks 9 and 14 have 6 NFL teams on bye, so you may be able to get away with having slighly more players idle in those same weeks, because with more teams on bye the cut line might tend to be lower. Contrast that with week 8, when only 2 NFL teams have a bye. That's a good week to not have a lot of players sitting out.@TheWinz
Out of curiosity. Does the cut line progressively increase as the season rolls on or is it simply week to week?
I ask because before I submitted my final roster, I noticed I had numerous week 9 byes that put me at around $72 of cap off on a bye. That freaked me out when I saw that because it was also many of my heavy hitters. When I began to adjust for byes I thought about front loading my byes with a max of $30-$40 of cap off on any given week. After week 9 my team is rolling with almost 100% strength. My thought was if I survive past week 9, my team will be a legit contender.
I haven't been keeping up with my average points but if I had to guess my team is averaging about 170 points a week.
Typically, the cut line increases as the weeks go on. Each year (and week) is different, but the cuts seem to start around 120 and work towards a high of 170's before the finals. But, it also has a ton to do with how well the most common players do, and when they are on bye. For example, last year in week 4, the cut was 143, then it skyrocketed to 178, then came back down to 146. Why? Because common players blew up in week 5. James Robinson was owned by 44% from the start, and went for 150 and a TD.@TheWinz
