Fanduel Week 6 (1 Viewer)

[BassNBrew]

Good week for me. It looks like I'll go 5-0 in 50/50's, I'm currently in the money in the Sunday Spike (although that may not hold up) and currently second in a 10 team league that pays top 3 although that may not hold up either.Currently 9-2 in 50/50's since joining Fanduel 3 weeks ago. Small sample size I know but the 55K 50/50's seem very easy to beat. That's probably mostly what I'll stick with going forward.

They don't post that many 50/50 in the $55 range

 

[BassNBrew]

Primetime game seems to be soft.

Noticed several guys with Jennings in the lineup. Others had Smith at QB and probably left money on the table.

Seems like others are forcing Thursday night players into their lineup to have someone going late.

Basically seems like you can take chalk and let a good percentage of the field try to get cute.

Did anybody start Shonne Greene? :-o

Matt Ryan...WTF?

Vick Ballard...ugh.

Antonio Brown...painful.

Mendy...nutshot.

Hartline...brutal.

Lynch...stuffed.

TRich...disappointing.

Legatron...oh no.

Charles...weak.

Andre Roberts...ouch.

and somehow I still had a good week overall.

 

[Rick James]

I'm in the money in all of my 50/50s, but all my players are done. Seems like everyone in every league has Demaryius Thomas going tonight.

For any who are curious, I entered a bunch of $1-$2 games this week. Blend of 5 man tourneys, HTH, 3 man contests, 100/250 tourneys, Thurs & Sun Snaps & Dives, & 50/50s. I varied the lineups & formats (Thurs, 1PM, Sun only, Standard Sun/Mon, & Primetime).

Results so far:

1 PM - had $40 out on 30 contests, and Matt Ryan, TRich, Green-ellis, Gonzo in all of them. Somehow managed to not lose all of that $$ by placing in 3 50/50s for a return of $9. Down $31 on that segment.

Sun Only - had $11 out on 7 contests(mostly 5 man & 2 50/50s), all with the same lineup. Won all of those (thanks to Jordy Nelson & Vincent Jackson) for a return of $38.70. Plus $28.70 on that segment.

So far, down $2.30 on the week.

Yet to be determined:

$58 on 28 Thurs contests (various lineups)

$43 on 31 Sun/mon contests (various lineups)

$67 on 32 Primetime contests (one lineup)

So, total this week $219 out on 128 contests. Curious to see how much of it comes back. Since I've already put most of those Sunday winnings back into next Thursday's games, I'm preparing myself for another 3 months of this.

I'm preparing myself for another 3 months of this.

We're chewin' a lot of the same dirt at Fanduel. This morning I filled up on all $1 50s and noticed you doing the same on the $2 games.I don't have an accounting of my week, but I won in 14 of 14 Sunday and 1pm onlys. That includes placing and winning in two ten teamers, winning in three 3 teamers and covering in all 50s. Unfortunately, I will be giving it all back tonight unless Denver beats SD 63-52. Trying to limit this site to $50 a week, but ended up in for 60. My guess is I'll break about even after tonight and that's encouraging because I was all over Ryan, Charles, Richardson, MTurner, and Julio. In other words, doing poorly might be okay if you emphasize 50s. My exposure was 2/3rds 50s and a third mixed between 3 and 10 teamers.

I would LOVE a 63-52 Denver win tonight! What's your handle on FD?

I support this as long as DT and Mathews score all the points.

Same as my twitter. Click on the FBG 20 team league, then click on the second page of names because I am not in the top ten. Then scroll to the very bottom because I am dead last. I am coming on strong tonight though!

 

[Bobcat10]

1-2 in $1 50/50s. Probably. 48th and 49th place in the losers.

 

[Run It Up]

Im playing against several people with D. Thomas and im only winning by like 15 pts and was sweating it since I entered much fewer leagues this week, tough game for Manning and the broncos so far (thankfully).

Not out of the woods yet obviously.

 

[BassNBrew]

Need one more catch from Thomas to go 8 for 8 tonite.

2 targets tonight. You mihgt be ok.

 

[BDubs]

Taking a bath this week. Sweated out my 1 pms, but otherwise got drubbed. Didn't diversify well or pick well.

And 20th in the 20 man tourney.

Back to the drawing board.

He's had one on ones all night but they are pretty much using him as a decoy.

The second half has been great so far, my fanduels havent moved an inch and I have Peyton as my QB in most of my actually FF leagues.

From 20th to 2nd in one game. Whoever didn't like winner take all was smart. Congrats Ace.

 

[SYMPHONY X]

I got my nuts kicked in this week! Not that I lost a ton of money, but had my worst performances ever in the big tourneys. Seems like I missed on about every player I started, starting with Matt freaking Ryan.

As bad as it was, I was one spot from covering most of my losses for the week. Finished 26/50 in a $5 50/50. All my other entries were $1 and $2. Time to rebuild the bankroll again. Gotta go back to the drawing board, as I thought I had some damn good lineups this week, but they were all fools gold!

 

[Run It Up]

This was an ugly week I won several leagues with only 115 pts lol (compared to losing a few last week with 180+).

Glad I opted to enter fewer leagues this week, terrible matchups and prices. Hopefully next week should be good, expecting cheap Matt Ryan.

Cruz and Nicks will be good against the Skins next week also.

 

[Team ROFLCOPTERS]

1-2 in $1 50/50s. Probably. 48th and 49th place in the losers.

0 for 4 this week after losing hundreds last week. I'm getting some bag eggs from the farmers market.

Won 11 of the Thurs contests for $83 (+$25)Won 13 of the Sun/Mon contests for $54 (+11)So for the early games I'm up $33.70 on the week.Primtime matches looking strong though, have a good chance of winning our placing in the $$ in all but 1 or 2 contests.I guess I picked the right lineup to go all in on!

Nice run indeed! If you can pick the right game, going all in on a bunch of guys can definitely pay off.Hats off to Ace on a solid win. :tipscap:

Did great as everyone had a crappy week thanks to the same thinking philosophy ever week.

What philosophy is this?

 

[VA703]

got 4th in the fbg league.. we should do that weekly

won everything else

 

[Rick James]

First losing week of the year. Jamaal Charles, Lesean McCoy and Andre Roberts destroyed me. If any of them had gone off, I would've been sitting pretty.

 

[VA703]

andre roberts was a dud

it was a overrall low scoring week for everyone

 

[arctic_panzer_wolf]

Manning, Mathews and Thomas helped me to almost break even. I bet $94 and won back $90. I'm actually OK with this, because this week seemed totally wacky! After deciding to dump anything in beginner I hit on 12/14 50/50s(one of my losses was a 4pm league I put together at 3:55 with a 4 pack of Founders Breakfast Stout in me) and I also went 3/3 in 3 team leagues. Since I started in week two I've hit on 26 of 33 in the 50/50s that are in 55k and 60k. I was only 6/13 in 65k from weeks 2-5.

For this week, you could of had this lineup and won money in everything!

QB-R. Wilson

RB-Spiller, Greene

WR-Moore, Maclin, Gordon

TE-Rudolph

K-Feely

D-TB

Back to the drawing board and good luck to everyone in week 7!
