Jeremy Kerley - yikes!
Jordy Nelson
Martellus Bennett
Sean Suisham
Colts D

Ended up with 146.88 points and in 5th place. The leader was at 164.06 and 10th place was a tie at 136.46, so both of those entries won $100, taking a $9 loss each.

$1 entry won $2.70 in a 3 person league in first place.

$1 entry won $4.50 in a 5 person league in first place.

$2 entry won $9 in a 5 person league in first place.

$5 entry won $13.50 in a 3 person league in first place.

Lost 14 other entries totaling $24. So, had I not hit on the $100 league, I would have lost $3.30 on the weekend.

Not too shabby! Congrats.

I stand to have a decent weekend. Placed 18/250 in a $5 league to win $20.

Currently up 138.42 (all players played) to 102.98 (Gostkowski and Edelman yet to play) in a 3 team $50 league (winner takes $135).

Currently cashing 252/954 in a $25 Triple Up league (128.08 points with last payout at 125.94; cashes the top 280). Most have played all of their players, so unless someone goes off for 30-40 points, I should cash here.

Currently just outside a cashing position in a $10 tournament. I have 127.32 with Edelman to play. Last paying position is at 134.52.

So, based upon playing against Edelman in one league and needing him to perform here, I'm hoping for a 10-20 point performance out of him tonight, which will hopefully result in a cash in both leagues. Not much of a worse position to be in where you're rooting for an "adequate" game out of the top WR on the team you cheer for. So goes Fantasy Football...

Overall if nothing changes, I'll cash in 3 of 12 leagues (awful average...), but would still be a winning weekend overall; $195 in entry fees and $230 in winnings. Edelman is the key to increasing the profit...

Nice!

The only non-1pm league I played was a $1, 3 person league. I'm 18.8 down and I have Edelman. 1st place is $2.70

I enjoy playing a lot of smaller entries during the 1pm games.

[bigzig]

Thoughts on this lineup for a Mon-Thur league?

A. Rodgers
$9,500
M. Asiata
$6,300
K. Davis
$7,800
J. Nelson
$8,300
R. Cobb
$8,100
D. Avery
$4,900
T. Kelce,
$5,200
B. Walsh
$5,200
Packers,

Well, I hope for both our sakes Edelman scores enough for is to cash all of those pending lineups

I'm still trying to figure out what leagues I like best. I put money into the tourneys on the off chance I catch an amazing week and can make some huge hay. I've been keeping stats and re-evaluate each week. Sooner or later, I'll figure out the right combination of leagues for the types of lineups I'm best at composing...

Packers,

I like the Packers passing OFF against the MIN passing DEF. Jordy and Cobb have accounted for 8 of the 9 receiving TD's for The Pack. MIN has surrendered 6 receiving TD's, 11.3 ypc, and 253.3 yds/game (all worse numbers than KC, NE, and GB). They're essentially must starts, IMO. Which, boards well for Rodgers.

I also like the MIN rushing OFF against the Packers rushing DEF, in which the Packers are allowing the most rushing yards/game in the NFL so far (176 yds/game 17+ yds/game more than the 31st ranked Raiders). Although, The Pack is surrendering 4.6 yrds/car vs KC's 5.1 yrds/car. For whatever reason, KC's opponents aren't rushing as often against the Chiefs as they could. I think BB saddles up with Stevan Ridley tonight and runs at KC to slow down the pass rush and hopefully give Brady more time. You just have to hope that Ridley doesn't fumble. The other com is that the Pats could trot out a 2RB set, and "chip" pass rushers all night long, which would mean more Vereen. Either way, I think NE racks up some yardage on the ground. More than KC anyways. However, KC and NE have surrender a combined ONE rushing TD through Week 3 of the season. Conversely, Green Bay has surrendered 5 through Week 4. I like MIN to find the end zone rushing (Asiata) and to rack up yards (McKinnon).

I've looked at the following Mon-Thurs lineup:

Brady
Asiata
McKinnon
Nelson
Cobb
Edelman
Gronk
Santos
NEP

It's essentially a lineup that believes not many people will play Patriot players on the road in Arrowhead Stadium, and that if they score TD's they'll be passing TD's.

I've studied the targets quite a bit and then also try to take things into consideration like who is weak at what position on defense.

[BlueSunday1287]

I need a huge night from Ridley. I joined the Primetime SUN-MON. I have Kansas City Defense, Edelman, and Ridley going tonight. Currently 25 points out of first and it appears most of the first place teams only have NEW England Defense. I may be able to move up the board quite a bit if Ridley can get 100 Yards and a touchdown.

Thank you for the input. This is my first time dealing with a salary cap type setting. I'm used to standard fantasy formats.

Anytime. It's an interesting spin on fantasy IMO. Do your best to find favorable matchups, and you should win enough to keep each week interesting.

If you're looking to win the big 10,000+ tourneys, you'll have to take a risk on some no name guy that hasn't really done anything of note. Who would have figured a combo of Matt Asiata and Lamar Miller would outperform the top 2 RB's of Le'Veon Bell and Demarco Murray.

[bkovach06]

Yeah, Asiata and Eddie Royal would have been the nice ones to have tournament style. I scored 157 and probably wont cash, it's tough

I need Edelman and Kelce to get around 20 points to get in the money!!!

Absolutely crazy. I paused on Royal for half a second while trying to get under the cap for one my teams. Unfortunately for me, I said to myself, " meh, I think Gus Bradley and the Jags DEF are better than their numbers." Oops...

I'm convinced winning the big tourneys takes HUGE cajones and gambles on players no one else is willing to start.

I could use a decent game out of Edelman. Although too good of a game (meaning he and Gostkowski keep their combined total under 30), I'll fall out of a cash...

[bigzig]

Yikes! So much for the NE defense. I figured KC may get a few points, but I didn't see that coming.

[DanDaMan]

Won 3 $5 50/50 leagues - Winnings: $27
Won 1 $2 Entry tournament (Thank you Kelce!) - Winnings: $5
Lost a $2 & $5 tournament

I think I'm going to stick to 50/50 leagues and just have one entry in large tournaments.

Only my 2nd week doing this and have won both weeks

[bigzig]

Down $5.50 for the weekend. Another $7 in play for Mon-Thur games. Staying low dollar to start. Nearly last currently, but 24 quarters left to play Thursday.

[Chrisp253]

This was my first week and i did well.. Then i went to sign up for next weeks games and blamo.. Im in a state that fanduel doesnt allow... Weird it let me play yesterday and today... And let me register on the computer tonight just not on my phone..

I didn't think Washington was banned from fan duel. Is it?

[Chrisp253]

Yep we have really dumb law makers in this state.. We can make it legal to buy, grow, sell, and use pot... But a grown up payin a little money to play in a fantasy football game is wrong!

[BmoreRavens90]

Arizona, Iowa, Louisiana, Montana or Washington havent banned Fan Duel, FD themselves wont accept participants from those states because their lawyers think the laws that involve Fantasy Sports are questionable and they dont want lawsuits lol.

Easy way around it is to set up your account using someone elses mailing address.

[BmoreRavens90]

Finished 7087 in the Sunday Million and walked away with 60$ which is a 20$ profit for the weekend with this lineup.

Philip Rivers 27.08
Lamar Miller 17.7
Donald Brown 7.4 (shouldve went with Asiata lol)
Golden Tate 15.6
Antonio Brown 29.28
Keenan Allen 18.5
Jimmy Graham 16.6
Janikowski 2
Lions D 7

Also finished in the top 10k for the survivor tournament and advanced to round 4 with a lineup that switched out Rivers and Keenan for Ryan and Julio and Bradshaw for Miller.

So in the 4 weeks ive won 243$ while paying 172$.

Sure is. My cousin is in Spokane and had to register for his laptop.

A complete blood letting. At least there won't be false hope in commentators talking about the "top ranked Patriots defense" anymore. There aren't any Oakland or Cassel lead Minnesota's left on the schedule.

Interesting. I live in Spokane and haven't had a problem, and all my info says Washington including credit cards, etc. Maybe I won't be able to play this week. Freaking bummer.

[Skootown]

Travis Kelce helped me salvage my week last night, took $60 in the Sunday Million on DK.

Anyone else joining the $27 Millionaire Maker this weekend?

Long shot, but whatever, someone is gonna win a million bucks so it might as well be me.

[cdub6238]

forgot to post last night before the games but took a chance last minute on $2 GP Mon/Th on FD...looking strong so far

Alex Smith 22.72 (15.2%)
Matt Asiata (58.4%)
Jamaal Charles 30.3 (30.7%)
Julian Edelman 4.3 (70.8%)
Cordarelle Patterson (24.3%)
Jordy Nelson (78.4%)
Travis Kelce 19.4 (46.2%)
Gostkowski 2
KC 16.0 (16.7%)

hoping the low owned % on Smith, Cpatt and KC help my score stay strong...also surprised only 30% had Charles

What do you mean he had to register for his laptop? You mean he has to sign up from his laptop as the mobile app doesnt work right?
