I initially put $25 and after a horrible week am getting ready to do it again. Not a DAMN thing wrong with playing light. I have just as much fan as people who play higher amounts. It's like crack.

Poor people got poor ways.

I'm just hoping I can at least break even and keep playing. Then again, a nice paycheck would be nice.
I do pretty good in FF every year, with any luck all that wasted time will transfer into a few bucks.

Luck
Bell

If you know what you're doing, and use the strategy the game provides in what to play for against whom, you should be just fine!

Hootie · 10-21-2014, 05:36 PM

why do you like Ingram, if I may ask?

I wouldn't touch him with a thirty foot pole.

Thomas hurt and Robinson with fumbling problems.

It's either Ingram or Cadet against a weak Packers run D.

Hootie, do you value QBs in FanDuel as much as you do in standard fantasy leagues?

Unsmooth-Moment · 10-22-2014, 07:55 AM

I played for the first time this last week and won $38 over my total bets, so that was fun. I will probably play more, although I wish I would have gotten in during baseball season. I'm not in the know about NBA as much as I used to be.

Absolutely.

I go pass heavy, dome heavy for the first 10-11 weeks before I start worrying about running backs (cold months).

My strategy is VALUE RBs, ELITE QB, TWO ELITE RECEIVERS (whether it's 1 TE and 1 WR or 2 WRs), and then go from there.

I go Peyton just about every week. Dude throws a minimum of 3 TDs every week.

If you think there is a super good value QB out there, then it would be wise to surround your team with Peyton targets like D.T. and J.T.

Last week I netted $475 with this lineup:

Peyton (only played 3 quarters and was still beast)
Ben Tate (awful)
Ellington (good)
Jordy (ok)
Golden Tate (great)
Jermaine Kearse (can't believe I picked him, $200 more expensive, than Baldwin. It was a coin toss and I thought Kearse had better TD potential. **** me.)
Jordan Reed (meh, no real great TE's last week)
Bills DEF (legit)
Shayne Graham (legit)

...low scoring week, QB carried me. He was 1 point away from winning me another $150, too. So if they didn't pull him, that lineup would've netted $625

I decided the one week that I shied away from Peyton (and he went nuts) I'd never do it again. I don't do Thursday fanduels so I have the other elite QB in my lineup this week

I play for a lot of money so I don't feel comfortable sharing my lineups over the internet since my handles matchup with my Fanduel handle and I don't want it to be archived on the internet for my competitors to stumble across.

Hootie · 10-22-2014, 04:31 PM

you'll never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever see me with RB's that combine for more than 14000 in salary. Ever.

To each their own, though. I'm still down overall this year so I'm no FanDuel genius or anything.

Hootie · 10-22-2014, 04:37 PM

but this week is another good example in REGULAR fantasy football why you should NEVER DRAFT A RB IN THE FIRST 3 ROUNDS

Tre Mason
Bryce Brown
Denard Robinson

All RB2's now

all free for the taking on the wire

Jordy Nelson's don't grow on trees. Ahmad Bradshaw's do.

Man, a redraft standard league? Obviously DeMarco would go #1 overall (I still wouldn't take him) but here's how I'd draft if I had the first 10 picks and was competing against myself:

1. Peyton
2. Jordy
3. Demaryius
4. Jimmy Graham (if healthy)
5. Rodgers
6. Antonio Brown
7.

ah shit I'll stop there

I mean, as of right now in a PPR league obviously DeMarco, Jamaal, Forte, Arian etc... have value.

But does anyone really think all 4 of those guys make it through the 2nd half of the season without injury?

I draft definites. Clearly, AJ Green/Calvin etc...aren't guarantees. But receivers take a hell of a lot less of a beating than RB's and their is a ton of less risk.

I'm stacked in a league, most points by far, 2 QB league I had the #1 pick (took Peyton).

I have :

Peyton/Romo
Ellington/Lamar Miller/Bradshaw/Tre Mason/Bryce Brown/Rashad Jennings/Monte Ball
Jordy/Cobb/Crabtree
Cameron/Kelce

I cannot be beat in that PPR league and I don't have a single actual 'what was considered' good RB to start the year. I spent my important picks on Peyton/Romo/Jordy/Cobb/Ellington

and I'll do it every year

and I'll keep profiting because of it

I don't expect you to share your lineups with us in advance, I know where you're coming from there. Just nice to get some different strategy input.
