I was getting nervous when one of my sits this week was Sterling Shepard and then I proceeded to hear every podcast say that Shepard was a good play because the Vikes would lock up ODB and Cruz and leave Shep. So far so good.

What is the point of handing off to Asiata? He literally can't advance the ball further than a yard.

Cmon Diggs, I need 9 or so more points from you to crack 200 this week. Oh, and thanks for the TD Rudolph, gonna go 3-0 this week thanks to that.

I get a McKinnon TD on the team I don't give a poo poo about and Diggs who's on the team I do give a poo poo about does squat.

Perkins may have just cost the Giants the game there. That was a shameful block. Actually we know he's weak there, I guess we can blame McAdoo instead. Edit: Gruden with the same take.

I'm not sure what the deal is but on ESPN it seems like the Vikings DST score has changed by 2 points three different times for no discernible reason. The last time just happened and they lost two points during the commercial break after the Giants turnover on downs.

I'm just a few more Diggs points short of a big payout on DK (and 10 points short of a huge payout). This has been such a frustrating game.

It does kick rear end. It just doesn't kick as much rear end as only allowing 0 points, which seems indisputable. And "losing points" isn't really the right way to think about it. If they wanted to they could start your DST score at 0 and only award the points at the end of the game for how few points the DST allowed. Then you're not "losing points" you're just getting "awarded less points" because your defense didn't do as well as they could have. Allowing only 6 points is awesome and should result in a good score but is it really just as good as allowing 0?

Alright I'm gonna hit the hay soon. Impressed me this game: McKinnon, MIN defense, then a gap, then OBJ (still so pretty at and after the catch), Rudolph, Diggs, Thielen, Darkwa, in that order.

God bless Diggs, those last two receptions put me up by 8.7 and basically made me stat adjustment proof. 4-0 baby, in a $2400 pot league. And in first above the only other undefeated team due to PF (because the Julio team just kicked the poo poo out of the AB team, AB team will still be ahead of me in PF). The other 4-0 guy beat me by 35 points this week but I was already 60 up on him. I got problems though. Worried about Gurley and Forte at RB and also worried about Julio and AB and Green having monster games.

Not bad but I play hundreds of lineups -- I have a (highly unproven) ~system~ -- so I really should be getting this close more often. Ended up down -25% on the week which is my worst yet. Last week, didn't have any sweats but still broke even. GPPs are super hard.

Best I did last year in DK was like 398th out of 10,000 or something and won $300. So much bullshit that NV won't allow it. The one place where it should indisputably be legal, it isn't. They closed out my account and sent me a check at the end of last year.

I'd look through the lineups last year on DK and see people that had 500+ lineups on a 10 dollar bet, so... I actually I think I saw multiple people that had $10,000+ invested on one week. Like 150 bets at $100 each.

Kyle Rudolph did great and I went 5-2 overall which is huge after a slow start. Stafford hosed me in the two losses anyway.

If you're entering that much consistently you pretty need to win one of those big tournaments at least once each season. I've been mass entering since early last year, lost money steadily then during the first week of the playoffs I came in 2nd out of a lot for $2,000. Now I just have to have another huge score before it all drains away. Not sure what the deal is with NV, but I'd guess the casinos have something to do with it.
