I think alot of us are riding the same players. I mixed in Ryan with the 3 QBs you listed. Like that RB combo as well.

Millionaire Maker got 52,895 players. They're giving away $384,200, which is over $7 per entry.

Yeah I was watching that, with the payouts being so top heavy I decided it still wasn't worth the overlay to enter, although I almost did.

Yea, finally decided to register for DK because of the overlay. I was surprised how cheap Dez was there.

I faded him entirely, but did have small amounts on Brown, Bryant, Miller, and Bell. My "current winnings" (which admittedly doesn't mean a whole lot when there are games at different times still to play) took a HUGE hit when he threw the TD bomb to Bryant, about a $200 swing on that one play. Still positive tho.JShare87 said:
Just went from a great fade to a decent one, but about par with Ryan - who also had just 1 TD, fewer yards, but no picks.

DK is going back to the $27 format next week for the millionaire maker.

I'm currently sitting with 135 with Sanchez, McCoy, Mathews and Benjamin with Lynch still going in the millionaire maker. Only a ~100 back. :IBTL:

Had Denard and Lynch in a couple lineups as well as Julio and Julius. McCown paid off but I lost a few points trying to be sneaky and stack him with Vincent instead of Evens. Still have Jordy tonight and feeling good about placing in a couple of GPP's. Ultimately decided against Monday night players so I'll have to hope I can hold on with what I wind up with tonight. With a good night from Jordy I might crack 200 on DK.

Hard to judge where I'm at right now. As of now, I don't have any money, but I have a lot of guys to go tonight and tomorrow. Need Forte and Jordy to come up big tonight. Got Sanchez, McCoy, Benjiman and Maclin tomorrow. Got Maclin and Benjiman on most of my teams, so those 2 in particular going off would be great.

I can't figure out if I'm kinda bad, kinda good, or good. I'm so heavily invested in Sanchez, Mackin, Jordy, and Forte and to a lesser extent Bennett,Matthews, Adams, and Ertz that I cant peg my performance yet. Owens and Brown were heavily owned tho, so the ceiling is limited. On the bright side I was heavily in on Cards D and Bryant (PK) so that 40 points mitigated the damage a bit.

Going into tonight's game, I had 178.8 points in the Sunday Million.. good at the time for 55th place and a payout of $1,250. I also have Adams going.
My dreams have been slowly crushed however as Rodgers has proceeded to do everything but get him the ball. Now sitting in 195th place and will drop MUCH more tomorrow night. :(
I just wanted a top 10.. would have been MORE than thrilled with that. I'll keep dreaming.... But man, what a terrible half of football for my DFS.
(I do have Rodgers in 1/2 my cash games though, so it's paying off there)

I was in the 40's at kickoff...down to 106 now but have mccoy going tomorrow. currently sitting at 213.08 points -- only 30 points from 1st but i'm sure there are folks loaded up on tomorrows game.
anyway...here's hoping for a low scoring second half and a 200 yd, 4 td game from mccoy

DK is PPR instead of .5 PPR, and they have a flex position instead of a kicker. Both reasons why I prefer DK.
Glad I decided play the Sunday $3 million on Fanduel this morning after not playing there all year though. Sitting in 4,194th with Shady playing tomorrow, good for $100 payout at the moment.

DK also has yardage bonuses (+3 for 300 pass or 100 run or rec) which pump up the score a little bit too. It's very similar to the system in my season league and I def prefer it.

yuck..yuck and more yuck.. Played $24 in 5 different games.. As of right now my only winnings are in the $5 double up, so almost half back..
My only hope is that Sanchez and Kelvin Benjamin go off big tonight so my Quintuple Play of $5 pays off at $25..
Oh and had my worst week of the year in the FBG.. Currently 918th

I'm sitting with 161.4 in the Million, with Cam / Kelvin / and McCoy still to play tonight. A big game tonight from Cam, with multiple TD's to Kelvin, and also 100+ and a TD or two from McCoy would be a dream.
Also have that same lineup in some smaller tourneys with 3000 to 5000 people in them, and some H2H and 50/50s. Already sitting up $150 for the week, but hoping for alot more after tonight.

I have been seeing this a lot on FantasyUp. Multiple entries from the same exact name that are the exact same lineups in guaranteed tournaments. Smells funny to me...like someone with an interest in the company is placing a ton of entries to keep the guaranteed payouts down. I cant really see much of a reason to enter the same lineup in the same tournament multiple times. Am I off base here? Is this a strategy?
Aside from this little issue, the site takes no rake until April (starting up), which is awesome. They also have small overlays pretty frequently, but I think they are trying to minimize this internally if I am reading this right, which is a little bogus.

In pretty good shape heading into MNF with a substantial portion of games still to include McCoy and/or Sanchez, plus a tiny bit of Cam, KB and Olsen.
Up about 20% currently despite having Adams heavily involved - just cannot believe that Rodgers went for 300 and 6 and Adams managed just 1.5 points. He even played the 2nd half garbage time with Flynn, and still managed to drop one or two targets!
Marshall was a garbage time savior though.

Looks like a big one on Fanduel this week. Forsett, Jordy, Rivera, Matt Bryant and Arizona's D all across my 2 main teams. When your kicker and D combine for 40, good things happen. If only Justin Hunter could have done something -- his 1 -17 line held me back from jumping even higher in some of the tourneys I played. My H2Hs, triple and quintuple ups are 27/28 hits on the week, at this point...should finish strong there.
Needed this kind of week...

A lot of players who are probably pretty heavily owned playing tonight. I imagine a ton of people have Sanchez, and I know Benjamin was dirt cheap on Draft Kings, and McCoy has potential to outplay his salary as well. Still a lot of movement to be had!

Are there particular #'s, stats, strategys some of you employ to consistently find the right combos in GPP's?? I can identify value, but for whatever reason, I can't seem to identify the RIGHT ones in the right weeks. For example, this is the 2nd week in a row I have been bitten by Rainey...I just don't get it, he had GREAT matchups both weeks..Particularly this week. Yet he was a dud. I tend to spend up for WR's every week, Jordy, Brown etc, and it seems like that's the wrong strategy, as the lower priced guys always seem to match or exceed those guys's production. I play the matchups a lot, but that never seems to work out for me the way I hope. I typically really like my team, then the actual games start... Like this week, I took a swing for the fences play in Mettenberger..with that terrible Baltimore secondary, I figured he was a lock for 2 TD's(especially because I anticipated them having to throw, playing from behind), and about 250 yds, which would have been perfect....yet, he bombed. I stayed away from McCown because I didn't think he was going ot meet the expectations people had for him and plus figured he'd be higher owned, yet he worked out. I just don't get it...I do know my strategy of going with a cheaper QB every week is definitely NOT working, that's one problem...But I must not be looking at the right #'s or something. Use FBG Value charts and everything. PFF detailed stats on passing defenses etc...I don't know how I can miss so badly all the time. It's frustrating.
Do you see the Millionaire Maker being sustainable financially for DK? I mean if there eating hundreds of thousands of dollars every week how can they continue it? I know I've done my best to help them sustain it as I've dropped all of my HTH/50/50 winnings on it so far, about $500. I'm playing at most one lineup a week in it from now on. Still think it's a lot of fun even though it's cost me some $$.Maurile Tremblay said:

I saw they've already changed it back to the $27 entrance fee, thankfully. They don't wanna take that kind of hit again I'm sure.

I'm going to be really, really bummed when my "Beginner" entries at Draftkings are finished up (max of 50 games played or won or something like that). The score to cash is friendlier than the regular games over there, and I've been hitting easy money the past few weeks. No idea where I stand with how many remaining.
This week - 3/3 on 50/50s at $50 each (highest dollar entry they have for beginner - but there are some $25 triples I didn't play). Currently in the money with McCoy, McCoy+KB, and McCoy+Sanchez still to go.
