Fan Duel Week 2 (1 Viewer)

[mlbnfl]

Not that week 1 didn't go horribly wrong anyways but I love the lineup Im currently sitting on right now this week, which is completely making me feel like its going to bomb. Wonder if this feeling will be a weekly thing

 

[NYJ]

Cooks or Colston for 50/50 lineup? Both had 8 targets last week and Colston is cheaper but may be covered by Haden all game.

Cooks or Colston for 50/50 lineup? Both had 8 targets last week and Colston is cheaper but may be covered by Haden all game.

I fear Joe Hayden and Drew Brees on the road, but I am playing Cooks in my regular league.

On the daily games, it seems there are many mid priced options at every position so I am placing more $ at WR this week.

Fortunately, I try to run 3 lineups for the Thursday fade and mix and match players, so I only got caught with 33% ownership of AP. However I do like Asiata, as I watched the game last year when AP and Gerhart were down. He is not AP, who is, there is a reason the Vikings were fine with Gerhart leaving town. They did draft McKinnon, but he's more of a speed back.

As I have a 33% handicap this week on FD, I checked out Fantasy Aces, and have to say I was intrigued by the "salary pro" system and the 2 qb, 2 flex lineups. It really forced me to consider the whole universe of active nfl players and was a nice counterpoint to my FD play. We'look see what the results are like.

 

[nastynate]

Switched Peterson for Charles in Draftkings. Didn't have him in fanduel, so could be a decent advantage over 10-15% of the thursday teams.

Switching him for Foster in DK.

After further thought, I chose Foster as well, spending the extra 400 to upgrade D

Seems like the lineups that I feel good about bomb more often than not! But I am by no means a daily fantasy pro. I think I might try the "George Castanza strategy" this week...plug in a bunch of players that look to be good values that I personally don't feel good about.

 

[SYMPHONY X]

Let's talk about offensive line injuries, and what effect they may or may not have on your daily fantasy lineup decisions.

Case#1--not an injury scenario, but a great situation to learn from none the less. Miami started 5 completely new O-lineman week 1 (compared to last season). Much to my surprise, Moreno and Miller racked up 200 total yds rushing against a supposedly improved Pats run D. I wouldn't have guessed that happening in a million years! Someone did, and Moreno helped them to a HUGE payday in last week's Sunday million. Do we need to start looking more closely at the impact of offensive line coaches?

Case#2--the Chiefs lost a starting guard in week 1. Combine that with a starting O.T. serving a suspension, and loosing, I believe, 2 linemen to free agency, the Chiefs line could have as many as 4 new starters versus a year ago. This has me downgrading Charles this week, and bumping the Denver D a few notches. Am I wrong in my thinking? Is there an O-lineman coach in KC with a magic wand?

Without listing more examples, I guess the question is this: is a guy playing daily fantasy football over thinking things when it comes to trying to measure the impact of offensive line injuries?

 

[Arnold. S]

Did anybody enter some matchups with the high roller players this Thursday?

 

[dschuler]

Anybody playing Asiata? I think he's like 4500 on fanduel. Switched a couple teams over to him and it really added studs to my WRs

This is a pretty sick looking 1pm only I think:QB

Andy Dalton

CIN v ATL RB

Shane Vereen

NE @ MIN RB

Matt Asiata

MIN v NE WR

A.J. Green

CIN v ATL WR

Calvin Johnson

DET @ CAR WR

Julio Jones

ATL @ CIN TE

Delanie Walker

TEN v DAL K

Shayne Graham

NO @ CLE D

New England Patriots

NE @ MIN

Wow, our teams are crazy similar. Don't know if that's good or not

Anyone considering Holmes if one or both of the bears WRs is declared out? Right now Id still not go with him but if both the starting WRs are out then I think he interesting especially in GPP.

Not in cash games. To me it makes forte a great play and Bennett worth a look.

I agree Forte becomes more attractive. Bennett looks better but there are still a number of options I like better at TE. I wouldn't use Holmes in cash games but in GPP I might although there are a number of middle to cheap WRs I like this week so may not need the saving he would provide.

If Jeffrey and Marshall don't play I don't think I would touch anyone in that game besides the SF D.

I hope to be able to do a short piece every Tuesday that provides subscribers with something that looks like this, as well as providing a commentary as to the stars in each cell.

Hopefully, this is useful for those of you doing your last-minute research tonight/tomorrow...and I'll do my best to get something more complete hereafter.

If any of you have DFS questions, feel free to follow me on Twitter & I'll reply to them there, as well.

All 50/50's. Any mistakes are my own. Which lineups don'the fit the cap?

Maybe for greater clarification, condia's 2nd and third are variations on condia's first lineup, not mbomb's.

Is there a way to create a private game with friends that has an open number of spots? Everything I see has to have the exact number of people that will be in the league and if it's not that exact number the league will be void.

No...you can't do this because the laws of daily fantasy state that an entrant must know the exact payouts prior to entering the contest; if the number of contestants were 'open,' you'd be unable to adhere to that law because the payouts would be dynamic (based on the number of people who entered), rather than pre-established.

Lol.

Assume you're talking about the Hoyer lineup, as the second one is full if my math is right. I have $1000 left in the first lineup, but not really sure I want to change any of the players. I like the Hoyer to Hawkins stack at home against the Saints with a high O/U and as a 6.5 point dog. I did consider taking Hawkins out for an upgrade at WR, but in a GPP I think I like the stack. Still debating there though. I like the RBs, especially Forte who has a relatively low ownership % according to the Thurs GPPs. Julio and Hunter are also high upside guys (imo) with lower ownership %s. I debated upgrading Gronk to Graham or Thomas.. but Gronk has a low ownership % relative to those guys and I like his matchup. Ditto on GB. Suggestions definitely welcome on how to spend the extra $1000 to improve the lineup. Still wrestling with the idea of taking out Hawkins, but I'm not crazy about the guys above him for GPP purposes.

Good luck, I just remembered why I hate DFS. I had 400 dollars left over in the Luck lineup and it was bothering me, now with the weather good in Carolina and Hardy out, I went with Calvin over DT and put Folk in for Philly kicker. I really don't want to change it in the next hour. I am considering going outside and helping my husband with yard work lol
