FanDuel 2015 - Week 4 (1 Viewer)

[cheese]

I found myself using Tremblay's predictions from the IVC more and more... made some great calls.

Interesting timing. I use it and this was the first week it let me down. Who did it point you to, just curious. Obviously, LMurray and Carr hurt a lot of FBG followers. Disclaimer- it's a great tool and this isn't a whining post. Just a bad week for us on here I think.

can you expand on this? Thanks.

Horrible week for me barring AA or the Seattle D having historic games.

 

[karmarooster]

Sharing in the blood bath here. Rodgers, Carr, Murray, Cobb all hurt. Struggling to hit 100 in most of my lineups. I have a bit on Wilson and Seahawks/Haushka tonight, but I don't think it will help much as any scoring will push my other lineups that are clinging for life into the bottom half. Hopefully end up no more than down $250 (about 50%) this week. Also looks like about 5/50 of my Survivor entries are going down the FIRST FREAKING WEEK.

looks like we rolled with the same QBs. only fitting that a week after Rodgers destroys and knocks me out of cashing everywhere, he puts up a dud when I'm on him in an arguably weaker matchup.

The key is to figure out why we crapped the bed to avoid it next week. My biggest issues came down to lack of time. I knew it going in but lacked the discipline to make myself pull back.

I never felt comfortable with the Bills, but the ownership percentages pushed me so hard to take Karlos and to a much lesser extent Harvin. I haven't believed that team to be any good and I have never thought Tyrod is an even middle-of-the-road NFL QB, certainly at his salary level this week. But because I didn't have time to create my own lineups for Sunday action I relied WAY too heavily on other people's valuations this week. I didn't get sucked into Julio as much as others, but I was more exposed on him than I felt comfortable. I said late last week I didn't like him, but I didn't have time to properly assess my options and execute, falling into the trap of a quick swap for another high-priced WR I didn't feel great about (Cobb or ODB) when I did get Julio moved out of my lineup. I also kept running out Olsen because I had the cash to pay-up at TE. I had Bennett as the guy to play, but didn't stick to my guns on that because I didn't want to "waste" salary.

I didn't see Murray's turd coming. I thought he was a pretty decent play. No amount of time or analysis would have saved me from that one. I had Crabtree a fair amount in that game. Up until his injury that looked like a really solid call. Who knows, maybe with him Carr looks a lot better and that play isn't so bad. I didn't necessarily like Carr much, but I thought he would be a relatively safe cash play.

Injuries hurt a ton, but that's the nature of the game. Had I known Brees was going to play, he would have been my #1 cash QB. I thought he would play but didn't feel like I had enough information based on my very quick perusal of injury reports yesterday morning. I think a little more time to think and analyze would have had me running that risk and playing him. That Dallas defense ssssuuuuucccckkkkssss. I had a fair amount of Ingram but he lost that TD which really hurt. Dunbar getting hurt cost me too. Crabtree I've mentioned already.

 

[snellman]

My biggest mistake this week is I went heavy on a limited number of players. I was very heavy on Murray, Cobb and Jones.

 

[VA703]

brutal week

lost about 40% , no biggie still up

one trend I want to attack is stacking two high output teams

 

[DukeBroadway]

I dont know if you can avoid it. Sometimes you cant predict teams not living up to expectations. I fully expected to see 35+ points from the Pack. Had that happened, fortunes would have changed.

 

[wyattroa]

Is Footballguys daily crusher really $2 per site a week for pro subscribers too?

 

[Pantherz]

I'll join the misery. After 3 weeks I was off to a fantastic start. I was sitting at 72% wins across all formats including GPPs. Was at 85% wins on H2Hs. Then this week, I have my worst week in three years of DFS. Brutal, even with about 30 different lineups across 3 sites. The fact is it doesn't matter how many lineups you use to diversify if you keep coming back to the same core of players. I'll still be up on the year but will lose about $450-$500 this week out of about $600 wagered. I didn't like my Thursday lineups and won all of them. Loved my main Sunday lineups and they tanked in every contest. Just wow at the carnage.

Freeman was the key for me. Basically won everything he was in, and lost everything he wasn't in. I had him in all Thursday contests and went away from him for Sunday-Monday(diversification, yay!). Had K Williams, Julio, L Murray very heavy. QBs were split between Rodgers, Ryan, Carr, Hasselbeck, and Cam.

Just brutal, but I don't really know how you can correct it. I think it can just happen on any given week. Footballguys projections were similar to other sites and mostly matched my own expectations.

So who WON all the contests?

[DukeBroadway]

I hope to be able to get to the point where I can that much in play. I have a small bankroll and trying to be disciplined. Played 36% of my bankroll this week. I am gonna be sweating tonight in hopes I can be up $50 for the season.

[Scoresman]

Only going to cash in on my freeman lineups but that only accounted for a third of my lineups. Not going to overanalyze. If the Packers had done what everyone expected, it'd be a completely different week.

On the bright side, I accidentally joined a H2H with a pro who had thousands of wins and all Seattle D needs to do is score 4 points for me to beat him.

One obvious error I think we may have all made was going with LUs even though they featured many "road" players. A Rodgers-Murray-Cobb-Jones-Olsen LU looked pretty good based on projections, but that's everyone on the road. Instead a Rivers-Freeman-Bennett, not to mention the Cinci players, LU would've done much better. There were certainly some home stinkers too, home players are generally safer.

The Bills pretty well sucked (SO many penalties in that game), but the reasons I lost were not Karlos (over 2x value) or Tyrod (right at 2x value). It did hurt that I swapped out Monc for Harvin on a few LUs when Luck was inactive. Also Clay had a 30 yard TD called back in garbage time due to another bogus penalty. I just hate watching a game where every other play is a flag for defensive holding or offensive holding or (this was my favorite) "roughing the snapper". WTF??

I get that and went away from my gut, but how could people honestly trust HIll who put up the most points for them? I know I didnt see that coming. I had a bunch of lineups with dalton/green stack and dalton/jones stack. Figured those would be great, it didnt pan out.

Carr

Olsen

Lambo

Broncos

Nothing earth shattering. If I had used my own Carr lineup against him, I'd be crushing him.

 

[DukeBroadway]

One thing I did thay may have saved me from taking a loss this week is I avoided L. Murray and Harvin. It wasnt that I didnt like those guys this week. I had Williams in the bulk of my LU as well as a combo of Carr/Cooper or Crabtree. I just wanted to avoid having a RB and WR from the same team. Especially, teams with a marginal offense, even though the match up/scenario made sense. Not sure if this is applicable to some of the woes this week.

[NixonMask]

I need to credit David Dodds for this week. Im going to end up 3-7 on my weekly lineups and likely still turn a small profit. The strategy of building cash lineups like GPPS, and then entering close to half the contests as 3x and 5xs is pretty genius.

I wouldnt recommend anyone taking that approach if youre doing a single lineup, but if youre doing 3 or more I would take a hard look at the approach. When cracking Fanduel gets its first update it would be a great addition.

 

[Bobcat10]

I hate Greg Olsen.

Who's with me on this?

I am...Greg Olsen has 1 big week. The only consistent thing on the panthers is newton

And this is the great take away from the week. Olsen put up 2 duds, then a huge week. Week 4 screamed stay away. I was hesitant all week and wanted little to do with him. But there is always that little tug on your brain that wants his week 3 numbers again, versus Tampa Bay no less. I planned on using Bennett the most even before Cutler was named starter. By Sat night/Sun morn, with extra cash on the table (as mentioned by someone else above), I moved most of my Bennett plays to Olsen or Clay (to free up a few more hundy for K/D upgrades, and Clay was fine anyways).

I always try to say, in general, don't chase last weeks good performance (or rule a guy out on a bad performance), that's what the non-experienced players should be doing. It's just real hard to do.

I was off bennet since up until game time, culter was out. I wasnt able to change my lineup as I had something going on, but having cutler start was a big difference in that match up.

Colts cut Josh Johnson so Luck is 90% likely to play.

I know Hopkins is getting a million targets but Vonte is going to shadow him and they may double him with Shorts and Washington out. Not sure I would touch him. Foster is a must play imo. He destroys the Colts every single time it seems and the Colts defense on the road is quite meh

I knew I was making a mistake when I was doing it, but did it anyway. I just had so much salary room just laying around.

And while we're at it, Foles is dead to me too. I swore him off this week after 2 turds. Then he goes off against Arizona of all teams.

I just hope I can salvage a little something tonight and dumb-luck into advancing most of my survivor entries.

 

[Maurile Tremblay]

Mon-Thurs GPPs.

With just two games, it's possible to cover a decent fraction of the possible game-script scenarios -- certainly much easier than with a full slate.

With four teams playing, I'm entering one lineup this week for each scenario where one offense totally tanks (each of which includes both a QB-REC stack and an RB-DEF stack).

Lions tank: Andrew Luck, Thomas Rawls, Frank Gore, Donte Moncrief, T.Y. Hilton, DeAndre Hopkins, Eric Ebron, Steven Hauschka, Seattle Seahawks

Texans tank: Russell Wilson, Frank Gore, Thomas Rawls, Donte Moncrief, T.Y. Hilton, Calvin Johnson, Jimmy Graham, Steven Hauschka, Indianapolis Colts

Seahawks tank: Andrew Luck, Ameer Abdullah, Arian Foster, Donte Moncrief, T.Y. Hilton, DeAndre Hopkins, Eric Ebron, Adam Vinatieri, Detroit Lions

Colts tank: Russell Wilson, Arian Foster, Thomas Rawls, DeAndre Hopkins, Calvin Johnson, Doug Baldwin, Jimmy Graham, Matt Prater, Houston Texans

I don't have a Lions QB-REC stack yet, so I'll add one for good measure:

Lions stack: Matthew Stafford, Thomas Rawls, Arian Foster, Calvin Johnson, T.Y. Hilton, DeAndre Hopkins, Eric Ebron, Steven Hauschka, Houston Texans

(Actually, four of those five contain a QB-REC-REC superstack.)

I also don't have a Texans QB-REC stack, but I don't want one.

 

[karmarooster]

Not sure how well this will work, but MNF-TNF:

Wilson

Foster/Gore

Hilton/Tate/Baldwin

Graham

Prater, Seahawks

Could not switch to Moncrief over Hilton and upgrade to Haush at K because too many Seahawks. I'm thinking this is a revenge game for Tate, and Calvin will often get marked by Sherman. Also thinking there's more on Wilson/Tate/Graham due to not having Lynch.

I found myself using Tremblay's predictions from the IVC more and more... made some great calls.

Interesting timing. I use it and this was the first week it let me down. Who did it point you to, just curious. Obviously, LMurray and Carr hurt a lot of FBG followers.Disclaimer- it's a great tool and this isn't a whining post. Just a bad week for us on here I think.

well it was a down week for a lot of people. I think the TDs this week overall was like 20 down from last week. That is significant.

Now keep in mind I skipped a lot of players because I focus on GPP. So the top guys I skipped were L Murray and K Williams. So in a lot of my line-ups were Forte and Freeman (4th best RB for Tremblay for the H-value). Forte, if you watched the game, had a fumble which doesn't happen and stopped the drive, and also had a goal-line TD that he didn't convert. He could have had a much bigger game but that is just how football goes sometimes.

For QB, I was also fading Rodgers, Newton and Carr because they would be popular picks. That left for me Wilson (still TBD tonight, who I paired with Baldwin a lot) and Rivers. He nailed the Rivers/Allen stack, a lot of people were off Allen because of recency bias. Allen didn't even have a great game but for his price, considering the down week of many top WRs, he was in a lot of winning teams. He also had two drops. Crabtree was off to a great start before he got injured.

Maclin and Ginn were other ones.

For TE, I usually go for Dodds on this, not Tremblay.

For Defense, he had Falcons as a top 5 play at $4200, and they produced.

I know Vonte will be on Hopkins. However, wasnt Vonte on Marshall when Decker was out. He will get opportunities. Shorts is doubtful, Washington questionable with a hammy. I know of their rookie Jalen strong, but not familiar with the other wr left standing.

Damn got me thinking of getting off hopkins so i can play Tate. Looking at Kearse over Baldwin now too.

As of now I am up about $40 bucks for the week, but a few cut lines are close enough that Monday night could move me out of the money. I got very little right, but I used Bennett at TE in every lineup and that may well carry me to a positive week.

As for Mon-Thurs I am going cheap here and just playing two 50/50's as I don't have a ton of faith in what I keep coming up with...

Wilson

Rawls

Foster

Hopkins

Hilton

Dorsett

Graham

Vinateri

SEA

Good luck everyone!

Vonte got hurt. Almost all of Marshalls production was after he was out

Ah, thats right. Good call.

Gore Q, but is that really only because he didn't practice (not surprising if so)?

Do I have any chance at winning this? LINK

Terrible week, but this would turn it around quickly.

Good luck man!
