Sorry if I missed a tweet. I didn't ignore anything. Email is still the best way to ask me something - always feel free to check with me there. For the Fanduel articles, David said the next two should be ready this Saturday. Thanks.J

Has anyone NOT used Witten? He's so cheap at $5200. So I'm sure he'll put up 3-24. I don't know how you guys only enter a few leagues. I'm already up to 17(only 5 start tonight, the only guy I used was Akers). I usually just enter $2 and $5 leagues though. I've also never entered the same lineup, I just get a group of players I like and mix and match. This is a lineup I just entered in a $5 60k 3 team league.
Freeman $7300
Foster $9300
Ridley $7000
Marshall $7000
Wayne $7100
Colston $7100
Witten $5200
Nugent 5k
Vikings 5k
Freeman $7300

Posted my first win in a bigger tourney tonight.
#1 in $777 Sun NFL Lucky 7s (Primetime) = $250.00
Won all 32 contests I entered that lineup in & won $431 on $67 worth of games for a net of + $364 on the Primetime matchups.
Total from last week = + $398.
Gotta get that $$ out of the account before I plow it all back in to this week's games...
Good luck to all this week!

I don't see any that bad in my leagues although I did get a Kregg Lumpkin/Manningham line up. This is the only reason I did Thursdays was to catch people in love with getting ahead early. Didn't play any questionable players so that could cost me if Graham or T Rich go off. But it looks like Gore and San Fran D were both good starts this week. Looks like Condia went with SF's defense.'attaché case said:Its hilarious looking at lineups that are in the lead at halftime TNF:Russell WilsonLynchGoreS RiceDoug BaldwinCrabtreeV DavisAlex SmithLynchGoreV DavisAkers49ers DSTAnother guy has these players going:A SmithGoreCrabtreeV DavisAkers49ers DST

I forgot to mention, the above lineups are from a 2700 person $1 tourney
I've entered 22 games...Witten is my TE in all of them. Normally wouldn't do that, but he's too cheap.

I'd bet that these guys weren't trying to get ahead early. They thought "Thursday Night Snap" meant you could only use players in Thursdays game. They are celebrating wildly right now thinking they won and telling their friends how easy it is, but their bubble will burst.
Congrats man, I was in that Lucky 7 league as well. I finished 16th but I unfortunately had both DJ Williams and Mario Manningham started and recieved 0's for both as they both didn't play. Glad a fellow FBG member took 1st.Posted my first win in a bigger tourney tonight.#1 in $777 Sun NFL Lucky 7s (Primetime) = $250.00Won all 32 contests I entered that lineup in & won $431 on $67 worth of games for a net of + $364 on the Primetime matchups.Total from last week = + $398.Gotta get that $$ out of the account before I plow it all back in to this week's games...Good luck to all this week!

Thanks e. Going in I thought that either you, myself, or the guy who came in second with Gore was going to win it. Was rooting for a 1-2 FBG finish. I like those prime time games, makes the Thursday night game like Monday night all over again!Congrats man, I was in that Lucky 7 league as well.

I usually find one Saturday...I just did a twitter search and see you tweeted about it an hour ago...it'll pop up before Sunday.
This is what I got for week 7
QB
Tom Brady $9300 - Big breakout game is on the horizion.
Eli Manning $8200 - Fantastic matchup
Andrew Luck $7500 - Great matchup
Mark Sanchez $5900 - Big game that will have to throw the ball to keep up
RB
Arian Foster $9300 - Hard not to expect a 2 TD game out of Foster every week.
Adrian Peterson $7900 - He is about to find the endzone once again.
Matt Forte $7500 - Elite RB that never gets the credit he deserves
Chris Johnson $6600 - Good matchup but can you trust him. Lots of teams will have him plugged in.
Felix Jones $5600 - Just like CJ, can you trust the guy even in a great matchup?
Pierre Thomas $5200 - One of the most underrated RB's in the league and plays on a great offense.
Jonathan Dwyer $4900 - Everyone else is banged up in the Steelers backfield.
WR
Calvin Johnson $8200 - This could be a MNF shootout and Calvin is ready for his big breakout game.
Victor Cruz $7700 - Gets more targets then he knows what to do with.
Brandon Marshall $7000 - Decent price for a PPR monster. The TD's always seem to be lacking.
Dez Bryant $6700 - Has looked really good the past two weeks.
Denarius Moore $6000 - Great price for a #1 WR.
Antonio Brown $6000 - People are losing trust in this guy, Don't the Steelers are a passing team now
Kenny Britt $5900 - Has a world of talent just needs to stay on the field.
Steve Johnson $5900 - I see him as a top 5 WR this week against a weak Titans passing defense.
Justin Blackmon 4900 - If the Jags want to be competitive they need to use Blackmon.
Donnie Avery $4800 - If the Browns lock up Wayne, Avery is in for a huge game.
Jeremy Kerley $4800 - The Jets don't have much talent on offense but someone has to catch the ball
TE
Kyle Rudolph $6000 - The guy has a nose for the Endzone
Aaron Hernandez $5800 - Cheap price for a PPR giant.
Greg Olsen $5600 - Going to need to be used to keep up with the Cowboys
Jason Witten $5200 - Best value of the week on FanDuel take advantage of this price.
PK
Justin Tucker $5000 - A team that can move the ball well
Garrett Hartley $5000 - Should be a good back and forth game with the Bucs
Shayne Graham $5000 - Hard to spend more then $5000 on a kicker with decent options out there
DEF
Green Bay Packers $5000 - They get the Rams and have Cobb as a threat on Returns
Minnesota Vikings $5000 - Cards with Skelton and Harvin as a Return threat.
New England Patriots $5000 - This could be an ugly game in favor of the Pats.

I really like Ridley this week especially if Bolden doesn't play...but they could just run up the score with Brady + Welker just because it's the Jets and for the division lead.
Despite the high prices, I still think Foster and the CHI D are necessary for their potential. Foster has an opportunity for a ton of carries. Hester could get a return TD against the Lions special teams and a pick 6 from Stafford is very likely.
Eli+Cruz is a good duo at the price and could exploit a secondary that wasn't tested much last week.
The value of Witten (and with a number of big TEs on bye) pretty much makes him mandatory in all lineups.
I may regret not buying into the Felix Jones play, but if it ends up being a RBBC and Garrett gets pass happy, that could be a bust like Ballard was last week. If Dez sits because of his groin strain, I might go back to Felix.

They also did not have Manningham or Moss in mix last year (not that their that productive this year), and that was obviously a fluke game for him...Hey guys... I've created a form so we can all vote on guys we like who are priced at similar prices.

I don't understand why everyone doesn't do just this.You have to really #### the bed to lose one of these and FanDuel doesn't really seem to adjust for matchups. Just play the good matchups and it's tough to lose these.I haven't played anything else since week 1 and haven't lost one yet. I would imagine most FBGs can win these things at about an 80% clip.
