FDuel Week 11 (3 Viewers)

QB - Russell Wilson

RB - Chris Ivory

RB - Frank Gore

WR- V.Jackson

WR - Torrey Smith

TE - Fleener

Flex - K.Wright

K - Folk

DST -Giants D

Feels like a coin flip between Ivory or Ellington.

 
Ellington over Ivory. Ivory ran hard against his old team who is softer than a pillow against the run. Powell is the better runner against Buffalo's brand of D and throwing the ball is the real way to beat them.

I could see the run going off against Jacksonville because ARI's QB is still Carson Palmer.

 
Eli
Knowshon
Sproles
Marshall
Torrey Smith
Desean
Julius Thomas
Tucker
NYJ

...from what I've seen, almost none of these players are utilized more than 10%..and IMO a lot of these players have good matchups or are due for a break-out game.

Thank me on Monday :2cents:

 
McCown

Sproles

Rice

Megatron

B. Marshall

Demaryius

Chandler

Tucker

Texans (I'm sure this def is going to be played by a lot of people but Pryor probably won't play so it's too good to pass up)

My first post!!!

 
Surprises from Thursday games:

Andre Brown 20% Were you thinking more or less? I would have guessed more.

Andre Johnson 41% A little surprising I guess, but seems like he's got real good chemistry with Keenum and Oakland's performance against the Eagles is still fresh in peoples mind.

Keenum at 26% Not surprised, see AJ.

Reed at 37% (compared to Gronk and Graham below 10%, Gates around 15-20%) This one is interesting. I get Graham being below 10% because of the uncertainty with how many snaps he going to play. Surprised at Gronk being so slow. To be fair though, I have my TE list down to 3, Gronk, Reed and Chandler.

Sproles only 5%? The guy has been too non-existent for a single game to raise his %. I'm not sure what to expect from that game, so I've pretty much steered clear from both teams.

The 'ol "They are Due" theory. I am using TWO of your players this week and fading the rest.

I was surprised that Brown was that high, thought he was a decent sleeper but wasn't expecting him that high.

AJ at 40% isn't a really a surprise, but he's probably the highest owned player (well, tied with Hilton) that I saw.

Keenum, again a nice sleeper, but over a quarter of entries?

On Graham vs. Gronk vs. Reed, I'd figured that with Graham being more pricey plus the injury, Gronk would go up. But they were roughly similar, while Reed was probably the highest owned TE. I like Reed too, but surprised he was that high in ownership when Gates is even cheaper.

Any one worried about the weather in Chicago and Cincinatti. The high wind aspect concerns me. In a regular league you have limited options, but with FanDuel I don't feel the need to take a huge risk. You have the whole league to pick from. Right now I'm loaded with McCown lineups. I don't want to wait until an hour before kickoff and have to scramble, so I think I'm going to go ahead and start changing him, Marshall, Gould, Jeffery, Nugent, etc out.

Thanks for mentioning that aspect, totally off my radar.Dig some research for chicago and found, the following from a thursday update:

Baltimore Ravens @ Chicago Bears, 1:00 PM

Soldier Field - Chicago, IL

Rain Showers, Possible Thunderstorms

Gametime Temperature: 66°F

Probability of Precipitation: 84%

Wind Impact: HIGH - SW at 29 MPH

Confirmed via a recent forecast as of posting time.

I normally have a lot of diversity each week, but to be safer this week I may have to roll with just a couple of lineups avoiding the weather. Can't do anything about the Thursday lineups though.

 
yea I'm worried about McCown, probably have to drop him in ALL my lineups ugh
I have McCown in a couple lineups and have plans in place to replace him if the weather looks terrible in the morning. Right now I would put in Keenum but was already playing Keenum in a few lineups and not sure I want to go all in on him. Considering using Tolzien ($6K) or Glennon ($6800) or possibly paying for RG3.

I ended up splitting and paying for Foles or RG III. I guess I'm going the opposite of you, assuming the weather is going to be bad. Of course, I was already stuck with McCown in almost all my Thursday lineups so switching McCown out seemed right either way.

 
My Thursday lineups were very Bears heavy. Are we suggesting moving away from all Bears/Ravens today? What about other games...Cin/Cle?

Looks like I'm gonna end up with alot of Keenum and Palmer now unless I really do some reworks for Foles.

 
I am using Hou.

Entering the big tournament, debating between these combos:

Lynch/Decker

Morris/Brown

Moreno/Allen

I dont love Allen so I might look for a lower price WR and not use all my dough. None of those WRs excite me frankly.

Honestly like them all about the same. Morris is a little risky between no recpts and vultures if you're looking for a homerun.

 
Pulling all my entries with McCown, Jeffrey, T.Smith, Gordon, and Tucker was a pain. Just to be safe I pulled everyone. I don't have the stomach to go with Tolzien or Henne, so split it up among Keenum, Palmer, Glennon, and RG3. Hoping that 'fading' those two weather patterns will be a leg-up.

Less than two hours before kickoff, Chicago is predicted to be 25-30mph wind, but right now only 4mph. Cinci is already at 16mph, predicted 20-25mph.

 
FWIW, I'm not making any changes due to the weather... Other than Calvin Johnson (45%) my max exposure is 25% of lineups...

McCown 25% of lineups

Calvin 45% of lineups

A. Brown 25% of lineups

B.Marshall 25% of lineups

Thx

Going to use Lynch/Decker as the safe play and hope to get double from them, about 29 points. My homerun swing is elsewhere in my lineup.

 
Went heavy on the Pit game in the FFC 200 qualifier. Took them all out because of weather. Calvin, Antonio, Ben going to go throw up now......

Yeah I had Brown and Rainey in my early lineup before removing them. Took Brown out this morning.

Took a shot, down in flames. Life goes on.

 
Keenum benched. This probably won't end well for me.
Same. Outside of my Stafford / CJ combos, my teams have all crashed and burned today. Either benched high scorers because of weather concerns or just had the wrong guys in the right matches (oh Floyd has almost 200 yards and a TD? how quaint.).

 
BassNBrew- just 2 of 9 i have deadbeats every week who cant get a lineup in on time and needed 2 more to fill it... pantherz got in and is currently in 1st

 
23 points out of the money in the big one

Still playing

Gore 14 percent

Lynch 16 percnt

Dawson 10 percent

Decker tonight 14 percent

A looooong shot....but a chance! Need some big 4th quarters

Good luck, bud.

I had mixed results with all my lineups but it's looking like a profitable weekend.

 
Dodds is close right now.

Some dude named shooter-mcgavin is first and has at least five other entries that I have seen that won $1000 or more EACH

Wonder how many entries he had?

 
kicking myself in the super qualifier last minute took out Jeffery and McCoy for marshall and tate. Would be at 153 with whatever Charles is going to end up with to go and an outside shot at trip but an almost sure payout to probably no payout. All on some last minute reads that they may delay the game until weather was better and thinking not many people would have marshall and wrs are higher upside than rbs typically. I think I should leave Sunday mornings some times haha.

 
That shooter dude is a mad genius or a rich guy who spammed entries to try to get in.

I can see 8 entries currently in the money...using 5 different QBs. One entry he entered twice as a duplicate, and it is a winner :lol:

There are some common players of course, but it looks like he played the range of all the guys who went off.
