Brees's price is pretty high right now. He's 1200 more than Romo who plays the Vikings and Newton who plays the Falcons, and 2400 more than Rivers who plays the Skins. It's hard to see him outscoring those three guys given their opponents and they are much cheaper. Could be wrong, but I'm guessing that's the mindset of most of the fanduel community. Bernard was striking gold last night ,given his number of carries lately. Good on you for that.
I could be wrong but I thought you only got a "win" if you actually come in 1st place. And if so, win totals for leagues are kind of pointless. Can someone confirm or deny this?I don't normally screen opponents or play in leagues, but I was bored earlier and using Steeler's awesome bookmarklet to look for some potentially easy pickings, just for the hell of it. I ended up joining a 20-person league, $25 to enter, top 6 win money. Here are the NFL win totals of the other 19 entrants:

Of course, having posted this, I'm sure to flame out and finish in 20th place.
Hmm, I guess I never thought of that. I just kind of assumed you got a win if you cashed (e.g. If I come in 25th place in a 50 person 50/50, I get credited with a win). Not sure if/why leagues would be handled differently. In any case, even if that's true, this is their total win count, not just wins in leagues, so I think it's fairly safe to assume that I'm up against some relatively inexperienced competition for the most part. Then again, I've got hundreds of wins but have only really been playing since week 2 or 3 so I guess I'm not all that experienced either.I could be wrong but I thought you only got a "win" if you actually come in 1st place.

In a thursday tourney he is .9% owned. Gonna win some people some big $$ this week.
I was debating between Seattle and KC all week and put Seattle in 90% of my lineups because I felt they had a better chance of pitching the shutout and KC had burned me the last couple weeks. Well, make that 3 weeks now. 
i've been killing it at defense but getting destroyed at kicker. novak (6) this week, houschka (2) last week, bailey (5) the week before
H2H's that could be tough to overcome. 5050s he seems to be 10-20% owned, so it's not all that bad. I even saw a lineup with AJ that had Foster (6% in that league), so there will be those types trickled in as well.Johnson wreaking havoc on my Primetime lineups.
Similar to the type of split I've got.
Only big game cheapo he missed out on was TY Hilton going off.NFL seems fairly easy to make a decent ROI...as there are so many newbs and average NFL fans throwing their money away...but NBA is brutal. Your lineup has to be perfect to cash in the top 10 percent of a tourny. It's pretty much all grinders playing nightly NBA. Even 285 doesnt win 50/50s all the time.
for putting Nate Washington into a bunch of my lineups.
Yeah, I'm finding that out. I started out 6-0 on Tuesday & had a little false confidence. Wednesday & Thursday I got killed (2-15). There are so many players, even when you hit on 2/3rds of your guys there are other players blowing up that will just kill you.
I think this has to do alot with the way Fan Duel is set up. The pricing on players is so slow to reflect current market conditions that it makes it easy to field a super star lineup. Because of that almost all of your players need to hit. It's one of the reasons I'm not a huge fan of fanduel and find myself putting more and more of my action in at DraftStreet.
I still try to cherry pick, but I don't think it makes that much difference. I think it probably shows more of a league preference than anything. Your average player playing 50 $2 to $5 50/50 leagues is going to accumulate a whole bunch more wins than the guy playing 4-5 $50/$109 leagues.
They don't update the Sunday and Monday night players for the next week. Hilton is still at $6,000 as well. Going to be lots of Lacy/Hilton combos going next week
Nobody on GB has been updated for the last two weeks, which I think is a glitch in the matrix. Lacy should reasonably have seen a bump for his game against MIN, but the silly programmers at Fanduel didn't take into account teams playing back-to-back primetime games, it would appear.
Tight ends had huge weeks.
