Fanduel/Draftkings Week 12 (1 Viewer)

[Bri]

The cheapest D faces Mark Sanchez? OK I'll go with that one

 

[avina1]

and now Shefter says watch out for BOOM.

What does this mean?

Boom Herron, The Ohio State University.

Put him in a GPP line-up. #### it.

 

[Pantherz]

Well I'm about 90% in on Richardson. Hope that doesn't burn me, but I could live with 12 points. May switch a few more to McKinnon before game time.

 

[Jetznut674]

hey guys - need 2 more to fill this league if anyone can get in would appreciate it...

[Joe T]

I think the fact that shefter is the one reporting the 20 to 30 snaps on Josh Gordon news makes me want to put even more on gordon. Shefter is the lhucks of Sunday morning fantasy news. I guess the good news is it *may* drive the ownership % down.

 

[karmarooster]

I would be ecstatic with 12 points. Was heavy on Richardson and then shifted off for Crowell and Mason.

I've got Gordon in about 40% of lineups and Watkins in about 25%. They're priced close enough to make an easy switch for some balance. Both in solid matchups. Gordon's conditioning and Watkins not practicing this week is about even IMO.

I'm 33/33/33 TRich/Mason/Crowell

 

[Wadsworth]

DK down again?

 

[Wadsworth]

DK down again?

Since they only hooked up people that sent an email last week, you can bet they will bombed with emails this week.

 

[JimmyJabroni]

How long has it been down?

I was there several times this morning with no issues.

 

[Mike]

Just last few minutes.

 

[Joe T]

Eagles D #####es!!!!

 

[ILUVBEER99]

DK down again?

complete BS. i was understanding last week but to allow this to happen again shows they must have an awful tech team. After such a fail last week you would think they would do everything to make sure it didn't happen again.

Was in middle of editing my lineups and entering more tourneys, but site went down 10 minutes before kickoff so no changes could be made.

I'll never play on there again, moving to fanduel.

 

[SameSongNDance]

I'm not having any trouble with DK right now.

 

[ILUVBEER99]

I'm not having any trouble with DK right now.

they are back...after the deadline to edit the early game lineups. They were down for the 10 minutes before kickoff when tons of people are editing lineups and joining new contests.

There is no excuse this time, to let this happen again is pathetic.

 

[BigJohn]

McCown. Oof.

 

[Tennessee_ATO]

Shorts is killing me.

 

[BigJohn]

Glad I shifted most of my T Rich plays.

 

[karmarooster]

Shorts is killing me.

1.1 points yyyaaaaaaayyyy. At least it's not a zero.

Projects:

Dodds = 11.0

MT = 11.0

Bloom = 12.3

 

[Keerock]

FWIW... as a guy who grew up and lives in Detroit, I can assure you that the Pats -7 this week is a joke. They will win by twice that. If I had a lot of money (or knew how to bet any) I'd take NE and give 7 all day.

Belichick will take away Calvin. Tate and Bell will get theirs, but there is nobody else that's a threat to the Pats defense. Stafford will fold like a cheap suit. Then, Brady will pick apart the Lions defensive backfield like a thanksgiving turkey. Gronk will score 2. Lafell another. Possibly a defensive score.

NE 31, DET 13. Book it.

34-9 close enough. Got the players wrong, but I'm not the only one who can't figure out who Belichick will go to any given week.

 

[avina1]

the Tremblay FD line-up I copied of Cecil Shorts and Allen Hurns... oh lawd, lol

 

[ctrlaltdefeat]

DK is terrible. They replied saying "the site is working properly now".

 

[snogger]

the Tremblay FD line-up I copied of Cecil Shorts and Allen Hurns... oh lawd, lol

I went with Bortles + shorts in a GPP.. Luckily for me it was only for $2.. Still a chance my money savings on that combo pays off with the rest but doubt it.

 

[karmarooster]

Was WAY over-invested in Kaep this week, but he ended up with exactly 2x his price as needed.

I think this could be the week determined by Kickers and Defense.... if you have some combo of Parkey or Vinatieri, plus either Seahawks 49ers or Eagles, you could deal with goose eggs from the likes of Shorts. If not, probably not,

 

[Maurile Tremblay]

the Tremblay FD line-up I copied of Cecil Shorts and Allen Hurns... oh lawd, lol

I had the Bortles-Shorts-Hurns stack in my Millionaire Maker contest. That didn't work out so well.

I think it's going to be a very good week for me overall, but it's hard to tell at a lot of the smaller sites where you have to click on every contest individually and search for your team to see how you're doing. I complain about both the FanDuel "Live" page and and DraftKings "My Contest" page -- they could both stand much improvement -- but they're light-years ahead of nearly all of the smaller sites in that respect.

 

[snellman]

Shorts and Megatron Killed what otherwise would have been a nice tourney lineup with a Manning/Thomas stack.

 

[Mr.Pack]

Sitting at 86 pts with 5 players to go in the Millionaire/

I'm sure I'll #### the bed.

 

[Ignoratio Elenchi]

I have a really big lineup decision to make this week. I won an entry to the Playboy Mansion and the final is this weekend.

...

I figure a score of 150 will win this thing.

Nailed it. 1st place was 152.28.

How'd you do?

 

[snellman]

Another reminder to enter your 50/50 or double up lineups in tourneys.

My Sunday only lineup cosists of :

QB Colin Kaepernick
RB LeSean McCoy
RB C.J. Anderson
WR T.Y. Hilton
WR Odell Beckham Jr.
WR Anquan Boldin
TE Coby Fleener
K Brandon McManus

I entered it into a Sunday only Tourney and am currently sitting in 25th place. Granted, it is only a $2 tourney but as of right now it is a $90 winner.

If I would have entered the 2.5M tourney with that lineup I would be sitting on 2K right now though so it kind of puts it into perspective.

 

[Tennessee_ATO]

My ability to render TEs useless has reached comical proportions. This week I rolled primarily with Donnell, Gronk, and Fleenor in that order. Gronk produced some actual points but didn't sniff 2x let alone an acceptable GPP score. It's truly amazing.

I'm playing against Graham in a normal fantasy league. I'm thinking I need to do a Mon/Thurs contest just to play him. (I'm not even kidding.)

Don't you dare I have Graham going in a couple contests that I am doing quite well in.

I had the Bortles-Shorts-Hurns stack in my Millionaire Maker contest. That didn't work out so well.

I think it's going to be a very good week for me overall, but it's hard to tell at a lot of the smaller sites where you have to click on every contest individually and search for your team to see how you're doing. I complain about both the FanDuel "Live" page and and DraftKings "My Contest" page -- they could both stand much improvement -- but they're light-years ahead of nearly all of the smaller sites in that respect.

the Live page in FanDuel is awful. Have to click each one individually to see how you are doing. I haven't even visited the other small sites, TBH. Just FD and DK.

stay away from DraftKings. They have had 2 weeks in a row where you couldn't edit lineups due to their site being down and are handling things horribly.

Upper management there is a joke, things will not end well for them. The CEO was on a podcast last week after their debacle and lied through his teeth, saying they would take care of things one way only to do it completely different.

As long as DraftKings is run by the same people they will fail. Stay far away from them. I'm moving to fan duel and maybe some of the other smaller sites.

Their iOS app is SIGNIFICANTLY better. I can't emphasize it enough. It's like 2 different web services.

 

[JimmyJabroni]

Doing really well on DraftKings this week. Glad I decided against T Rich and Gordon in favor of Crowell and Beckham. In a nice spot in a tourny and still have Watkins tomorrow.

 

[Tennessee_ATO]

Have a good couple lineups working. Built them around a core of D. Thomas, Beckham, Crowell, Murray, and ...

Shorts and Fleenor. Still in the 130's, with Murray and Odell going and Bills D to go. Will win all my cash games with them, including triple ups and cash in my GPPs, but what could have been. Even hit my PK reasonably well (Cundiff).

 

[BigJohn]

I don't get it. I'm killing it on DK. My FD bankroll may actually run dry after this week. On DK, I'm up $60 $119 despite only having $12 in play and I have several guys going tomorrow.

Kap

CJ Anderson

Murray

Beckham

Boldin

Gordon

Daniels(Mon night)

R Jennings

Colts

186.44 sitting 8th in a 4000 player tourney

$70 for that so far. 1st would be 1k.

Gonna have to. I need the win in that league badly. Essentially clinch a playoff spot for me if I win. Up 26.44 and done. He has Graham and Ivory left.On a positive note, Donnell now has 1 more catch than me.

 

[Prince Myshkin]

going to cash in the millionaire maker for the 4th straight week. if i had avoided hurns, it could have been a very special week.

Nailed it. 1st place was 152.28.How'd you do?

I sure did. The lineup I had all week and decided to change at 4:00 am would've scored 151 and came in second. But I can't play the "what if" game as I'm sure plenty of people could've said the very same thing. I ended up finishing 15th for 15K. I got as high as 11th and was 9 points from first at one point late. It was extremely fun and was a true blessing to win that much money. Some pretty crazy stuff went down there. I hope you all had a great weekend and won some money as well.

 

[Wadsworth]

The line up I was trying to switch to at the last minute on the DK million would have had 191 with Percy going tomorrow.

The iOS app compared to the Android App for FD is laughable. How can they not both be very similar? The iOS app is light years ahead of the Android app, yet both are made by FD so I don't get it.

and how can the iOS app be so much better than their primary, web-based display?? Makes no sense. Get that guy on the iOS team a raise, and get some new people for Android and web development.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

I took a look at the week 11 Running Back results based on performance above or below projection. Then I looked at the correlation between performance and two things: prior 4 week fantasy point avg and opponent strength of defense.

The goal was to see if one was a better indicator of performance above or below projection than the other.

Here are the results.

That's some really solid stuff Joe! Thanks for sharing.

I never use the web-based version anymore. I didn't appreciate how bad the Android app was until my brother showed me. He kept whining about it after I went on about the iOS app. I figured it was user error. Nope, it was developer error.

As I understand it...FanDuel will be updating the web interface to mirror their iOS app, but it's probably still going be a bit until it's released.

 

[Maurile Tremblay]

It looks like DraftKings has Mon-Thurs contests that exclude the BUF-NYJ game, while FanDuel and most other sites have Mon-Only contests and Thurs-Only contests, but no Mon-Thurs contests. (It's a bit weird not to have Mon-Thurs contests, isn't it? But I can't find any at FanDuel or the other sites I've checked, other than DraftKings.)

I've got a Mon-Only version of the FanDuel interactive value chart now. I'll be putting up the Mon-Only version of other sites within the next few minutes, then I'll do Mon-Thurs charts for the sites that don't have Mon-Only contests (like DraftKings) after that.

After tonight's games, I'll do the Week 13 charts, including a Thurs-Only tab for sites that offer that category.
