Fanduel/Draftkings Week 14 (1 Viewer)

I'm sitting in first place right now in the FantasyDraft $100K contest.

I need a low-scoring game tonight to stay there. If Eddie Lacy scores more than 27.5 points, I get bumped out of first. That's the biggest threat, but I also need to dodge Mason Crosby (26 pts), Packers D (35 pts), Andrew Quarless (38 pts), Randall Cobb (39.5 pts), Jordy Nelson (40.4 pts), Julio Jones (42 pts), and Harry Douglas (44.5 pts).

I also have to doge some two-player combos (e.g., 48.4 pts from Eddie Lacy and Mason Crosby) and three-player combos (e.g., 79.8 pts from Aaron Rodgers, Randall Cobb, Mason Crosby).
Best of luck, sir!!
GL Maurice! ;)

 
Anyone know anything yet on the status of Jerrod Cook? Or how Fitz is doing after yesterday's game? Trying to determine their status for Thursday...

:goodposting:
I think Cook may have been evaluated for the concussion BEFORE his two touchdowns, so I think he's OK... but better safe than sorry.
I watched that travesty of a game. It was after his first td but before his second. He was on the sideline for a little bit, but he was fine and went back in.

Excellent news. First time doing the mon/ Thursday games and if you go with Matt Ryan you can put together a monster lineup.

Ryan

Lacey

Sjax

Cobb

Julio

Hester

Cook

Catanzaro

Rams D

win big baby!

Soooo, I don't know how excited to get here, but I jumped up from 16000 to 10000th place $25 FanDuel GPP. I have Rodgers/Julio/Davante going, and no one in the top 1000 has that combo going, I checked.

Don't think I can win the whole thing, but top 100 seems possible. 60 points off the leader right now.

 
Let's just say I'm rooting real hard for Lacy to go off and not require Rodgers to pass at all.
:popcorn:
:kicksrock:
I'm at 201, in 4th. Leader is at 217. Nodody has any minutes left around us, including 2nd and 3rd. I'm at $200 now, 1st is $1000. In a $2 tourney. :excited: ETA: he has GB Def
If Eddie Lacy scores four more points, I'm bumped out of first. It seems inevitable that I'll get bumped down to fifteenth or so, because so many people have Eddie Lacy.

As long as I'm not going to win, I hope you do. But I'm in the midst of seeing an $8,000 first-place prize turn into a $100 fifteenth-place prize.

Lacy is at 22% in this tourney. Is it much different in yours?

 
Just curious, did any of you guys that signed up for Fantasy Draft click through my link? I just checked and they are not showing me with any referrals, I figured I might have at least a couple.

As a follow up, those were the sickest overlays ever, right? If you could actually field a team.

 
Trying to make a late push here...Packers all over my board.

Got lucky this weekend....took a nap Sunday and set alarm for 12:20 but for some reason didn't wake up until 12:58....Crowell and Cameron were active thank goodness and I didn't lose anyone else.

Did you get points for the Steve Bartkowski TD pass?

 
Lacy being out of that last drive probably cost me $500. Oh well. I'll try to summarize my most amazing week ever.

First DraftKings:

$32 wagered/$534 won

Biggest hit was one of my 3 cash lineups in a tourney

Newton

Lacy

F. Jackson

AJ Green

Garcon

Charles Johnson

Graham

Stewart

Lions D

207.34 points. Good for 2nd place out of 3802 :pickle: $500.

Fanduel:

No big tourney hits, but cashed in about 90% of my cash games and a few tourneys.

$38 wagered/$73.60 won

:suds:

 
i guess it is due to so many people tieing but the site cant take care of the total of $5.....pretty sad..if site states if you come in a certain spot it pays you a x dollar amount that is what we should beleive we are going to receive.i guess bottom line is never assume

 
I dont post often just had to tell someone. Everybody is sleeping here.

2nd place in $2 snap 3 on fd for $4000.00

Cant sleep now. 2.38 pts out of first had ryan and julio

 
Here are the FD cash games I did and the score required to win for those tracking such things:

Thursday --

2x ($5) 115.5 (1818 entries)

2x ($10) 122.22 (112)

3x ($10) 128.5 (100)

5x ($5) 129.2 (223)

Sunday --

2x ($2) 1116 entries in each 4 total: 112.74, 113.4, 111.7, 112.64

2x ($5) 670 entries in each 7 total: 112.2, 110.4, 113.5, 113.4, 112.1, 110.2, 113.16

3x ($5) 402 entries in each 8 total: 119.1, 118.8, 120.6, 120.76, 117.8, 119.3, 120.6, 121.82

5x ($5) 335 entries in each 5 total: 126.32, 125.22, 125.66, 126.44, 126.9

 
$620 total wagered across FD and DK to win (up) $104. Small return given the wager, and could have over-diversified, but then again missed several key plays so maybe the spread helped.

Still hit a milestone! Now up 3x on the year ... started with $250 on each of FD and DK, now at $1528 combined.

I actually created the interactive value chart for FantasyDraft back when it was play-money only (there weren't even any free rolls with actual prize pools those first few weeks). Nobody here, as far as I know, was already signed up back then, so I didn't use any referral code at all.

SO this thread has replaced the "Bragging/Venting" thread??

I'm gonna lose money because of this dude...I'm gonna win money cause of this dude".
I mean, the week is over. Not really too much helpful strategy talk after the fact.
FWIW, I think there is much to be learned after the fact. Figuring out why good plays get missed and bad plays were hyped can be helpful.
Yeah, like don't plug in the Saints defense in place of the Broncos at the last minute just to "diversify"... cost me 15 points and about $200 this week :angry: :bag:

PM me your user ID. I didn't use your link since I saw the thread on my phone but signed up on a computer. But I can still put myself under you. I'll get that done.

 
Brees, Graham, Stills, Gordon, etc killed me this week. I feel lucky to be only down 150 for the week considering how many lineups I had them in. Was house money I was playing with from my Thanksgiving wins so I am still up for the year.

On to week 15.

 
Easily my best week -- +120%. My Eli cash lineup failed to win anything. My other 3 (built around Bridgewater, Hill, and Ryan respectively) won every contest entered them in.

The lessons I'm taking away: the Titans are so bad that only cheap QBs should be rostered against them -- too many other ways for teams to get to 35+ against them, stud WRs can do whatever they please against the Titans, ATL may have its offense really clicking now, and Hill may be good value again this week.

 
I'm almost back even for the year playing almost exclusively in tourney's and some leagues. Seems kinda silly that I'm not playing in 50/50's and making money there seeing that the scores to cash seem so low. I shoulda been using the strategy of funding my GPP's with those 50/50's this season.

 
has anyone made a Rodgers/Nelson stack line-up that doesn't look like absolute ####? This is the best that I can come up with...

QB: Rodgers

RB: Anderson

RB: Andre Williams

WR: Nelson

WR: Stills

WR: Kearse

TE: Reed

K: Novak

D: Vikings
One thing that seems to work basically every week is the GB super stack: Rodgers/Nelson/Cobb/Adams. even on a down week last week, you got 65.12 points from $32,400 which meets the 2pts per $1k you're looking for. Unfortunately due to the general score inflation we witnessed last week, you would have had to really nail all the remaining picks to cash with that, but it was a valid illustration of the principle. Plug those guys into the Interactive Value Chart, click the 'MT' and get:

QB Aaron Rodgers 10400

RB Fred Jackson 6500

RB Jonathan Stewart 5200

WR Jordy Nelson 8900

WR Randall Cobb 8400

WR Davante Adams 6000

TE Delanie Walker 5400

K Shayne Graham 4500

D Denver Broncos 4700

Total: 60000

Remaining: 0

Looks pretty good to me.
won with this lineup in every 50/50 double up i put it in. :coffee:

(8 entries at $1 and $2 if you're wondering)

(thanks maurile)
