Fanduel/Draftkings Week 15 (1 Viewer)

I see i'm not the only one who realized that if you start the Christophers of the New York Jets at RB and Derek Anderson at QB, you can roster any and all of the the most expensive WR and TEs available. My choices are Beckham, Brown, Megatron, Gronkowski.

Yup. I have about 3-4 rosters set up with that in mind.

 
Well, it looks like I have to refigure some lineups now that Jamaal Charles is a full go. Loved Knile's price on DKs as a flex.

 
Do you guys find most of your lineups to use all 60k in Fanduel? I'm sitting with 2 lineups that seem like good plays for GPP's yet I still have 1200 left over. Good sleepers, good stacks, and I'm just curious to see if other players use all their allotted money or not. How much is too much left over? Whats the average across your games that you keep? Do people try to get it as close to 0 as possible?

In theory the better players are the higher price, but it doesn't work that way in GPP's when you're going all out, and most of the time the lineups that win make you scratch your head. So what is appropriate?

 
Most of the perfect scores that I have seen usually have around 600-800 left in salary. $1200 may be a little steep, but no, I don't think it's necessarily a requirement to max out your salary in GPP's.

 
Does Draftkings release more tourneys closer to Sunday? I'm having a hard time finding tourneys that I like and frankly, it feels as though the number of tourneys seems very low.

I think DraftKings is trying to push everybody into the Millionaire Maker this week, and they've got fewer other tourneys than normal to compete with it.

 
These are the weeks that freak me out. The lineups are coming together almost too well. I feel like there could be a monster scoring week and I gotta make sure I'm hitched up to the right horses.
I'm probably rolling with 10 ####ing lineups. 10. 5 cash and 5 gpp. Ugh.

 
My name is jason and I am going all in on Anderson in my 50/50s and double ups this week :bag:

I tried to diversify some, but Anderson just leaves so much space for the rest of the roster. I have one lineup that is RB heavy and one that is WR heavy so I am diversified at least. Here is hoping to 15 points from Anderson this week.

Your courage in publicly announcing your decision has given me the strength to admit that I'm perilously close to doing the same thing. That extra $2500-$5000 in salary is awfully hard to give up once you've played around with it.

 
I would like to see other Anderson line ups....here is mine. (Large tournament, so I tried to be original.)

Anderson

Lynch

McCoy

Benjamin

Martavis Bryant

Steve Smith

Michael Bennett

J Bell

Seahawks

I've got either Anderson or Manziel in almost all of my lineups.

Anyone else playing Manziel but afraid to stack with Gordon or Cameron? I just think the damage he could do on the ground makes him a good play this week.

He's a rookie, he's a rookie, he's a rookie....this has been in the back of my head with each lineup at fanduel.

Why aren't you apprehensive? Because of the running?

I don't get why you'd start Manziel and consider Gordon a bad play. Doesn't one have to go with the other?

I have a couple GPPs with Manziel and Cameron stack. Don't have Gordon in any lineups this week mainly because there are so many options at WR. Most are more expensive, but with the savings of Manziel and Anderson you can afford to load up on the higher $ WRs

I'm actually going the other way -- Cincy def will be on more than one of my GPP plays.

 
I've got 4 lineups together that I really like. Can't really tell anymore which is for cash games and for gpp. Feels like they could all score a lot of points and I could probably come up with another 4 or so that I really like. So I agree with the poster that said this feels like a high score week. I already spent way too much time on this this week and think I'm going to stay with the lineups I got and just hope for the best.

Need Anderson, Manzeil, the Jets RB's to come through this week

I also had to have Big Ben in there. He probably won't have one of his 6 TD weeks because the Falcons are so easy to run on, but you never know.

Yeah I think the rushing gives him a boost, he's cheap and not owned as much as Anderson in the GPPs. I do have Cameron stacked in one due to price, but agree with the person who said there just seem to be safer bets at WR in the same price range as Gordon.

 
Anderson

Forte

Fred Jackson

Odb

Dez

Moncrief

graham

m. Bryant

Kc def

I also have the exact same lineup minus Moncrief and add lee. Minus Freddy add Blount

I have something similar to this.
 
I'm forcing myself to use only 1 Anderson lineup. Here is my "base" Anderson lineup since we're all sharing.

Anderson

Bell

Forte

ODB

Watkins

Moncrief

Witten

Bryant

KC

My other 2 are built around Ryan and Romo.

I wanted to use Ryan in a couple cash lineups this week, but it was so easy to build value around Anderson and I may be traveling tomorrow when the inactives come out. Ryan takes a huge hit this week win Jones doubtful to play at a high level if he does play and White being hobbled, it scared me too much to put him into cash lineups without being able to make a late swap.

This brings me to another unrelated point. Fanduel really needs to do something with an Android app. The one out there right now is miserable. It is basically a mobile version of this site and it is a P I T A to do anything on it other than check the scores of your tourneys

Tweaking... was thinking Roddy is a good play with Julio limited/out but Roddy has his own issues, last report was Roddy being limited Thursday. My thinking is that Julio tore up the Pack secondary last week, maybe Watkins can do the same? Might end up splitting between the two.

Why Gates?

The possible TD?

I don't get the love for him still-downright adoration for his career, but currently....

I get the reservations about Ryan. Personally I think Roddy will be fine. He's been limited in practice for about 3 years now. Julio being out will hurt, but I think ATL will still score points. Pitt pass defense < mediocre and ATL can't run the ball for crap. I think it's a similar script for ATL this week: down early, start slinging it around to catch up. Only this week I think ATL wins. It's about time for a Pitt head-scratcher.

 
Kendall Wright would be such a play this week if he were healthy. I hate this splint might play stuff. Locker loves to throw him short passes, it's a good way to counteract a terrible OL, and the Jets pass D is weak.

The Jets are really bad, but the Titans are the worst team in football right now. The Jets pass D is bad if you have a set of WRs that can stretch it. But the Titans don't have anyone. This is game is probably going to be an abomination on offense for both teams.

I agree. The Titan OL was horrible to start the season. Now injuries have decimated it. There are no routes short enough.

 
No Dodd's article & chart this week? Or just on Sunday AM?
Not sure about the article and chart, but he's here this weekend.
This is why McDonald's employees can't play in the Monopoly contest.
If he wasn't going to put out his normal content, which we pay for, he should have given a heads-up. It is somewhat understandable that he's off winning tens of thousands (to millions) of dollars in Vegas and doesn't have time to meet his obligations here, but a polite notice goes a long way.
