I'm watching with interest since this is my first year doing DFS at all. Threw a hundred bucks at Fanduel.

I burned through my money last year right quick because I didn't take that into consideration. Yeah I have. I'm planning on sticking to cash games and avoiding head to head with maybe one 10 dollar tourney a week to add some spice. I'm not interested in being a serious grinder but I also don't want to put it all on black and spin once.

I'm in 1st place! ...in a 50/50  Should have played this lineup somewhere else I guess. E: in fact had I played it in my gpps id be winning 1000+ instead of like 9 dollars. JoshTheStampede fucked around with this message at 05:06 on Sep 15, 2015 |

What's everyone looking at this week? I've only done my Last Grinder Standing lineup so far but: Foles Lynch Murray Landry Julio TWill Seferian-Jenkins Nugent Dolphins Wanted Eifert or Palmer but had to give somewhere.

Yeah at 7k he's not a must take but I am wavering between him and Lynch.

So I'm building my lineups for the week and noticing I'm super heavy on Lynch and to a lesser extent Hyde. I feel good about both but how bad an idea is it to have so much exposure to one player? Should I diversify more or is it safe to lean on Lynch this week?

VietCampo posted:So i am going real light on the TE spot, so i'm picking between Crockett Gillmore or Richard Rodgers, i'm leaning Rodgers since the Seahawks are vulnerable against TE's and even more so without Kam. I would go Gillmore if you are punting TE. Rodgers is better as a player but the Packers have like nine other weapons to throw to and the Ravens don't really have anyone. And Week 1 they showed they will go to Gillmore with the game on the line, he just didn't come down with it against double coverage. Edit: Ugh I need to stop reading so much stuff before like Saturday. I'm talking myself in circles about Hyde this week. On the one hand, great talent, still cheap especially on DK, playing against a bad Steelers run D. On the other, short week traveling east in a game where he's likely to be behind and SF may abandon the run. JoshTheStampede fucked around with this message at 21:20 on Sep 18, 2015 |

This was basically a slaughter week for me for cash RBs. I was on Forsett, Forte, Abdullah, Ingram, Miller, Hyde, and Lynch. All basically shat the bed. My WRs saved me in some of those but I'm still down on the week because the 6 safest RBs I could find all scored under 10pts. It's possible a miracle week from Fitzpatrick/Decker could cash me in some tournaments but that is a long shot (and I knew it was when I entered it)

Oh also defenses. I was on Dolphins, Ravens, Rams, Saints. Feels bad man. I'm not going to quit but it's hard to look at a week like this and think it's anything more than random dart throws.

Yeah fitz/decker and Moncreif made my losses not QUITE so stingy, wound up down 20 bucks on the weekend on an outlay of about 150. Looking back the rbs sucked but at least they all made double digits except Abdullah. It was the defenses that really hosed me. All the experts are saying this was the worst week for RBs they can remember ever, so at least I wasn't alone. Even with the losses, DFS does increase my personal interest in every single game so it's worth the losses to be excited about random Browns/Titans games I would otherwise just be sad it was even on.

But last night when they needed to close out the game running they did it with Powell. Also I'll never not play woodhead on DK. He's basically a 50/50 split with Gordon who isn't very good and gets passing downs and redzone looks. He almost can't fail to get 3x value as a floor.

Is there accepted wisdom on what types of games one should be playing? In general, I think I will be playing 80% cash and 20% GPP on any given week, but of those cash games, what % should be H2H vs 50/50 or doubleups? I'm a new fish and scared of H2H but people seem to rely on it heavily. Also is there any reason to play the Fanduel "head to head matrix" games? It seems like it makes the sting of losing less bad but significantly less reward as well unless you beat EVERYONE. I'm looking at the money spread and wondering why I would play this over a 50/50. Edit: Also I'll throw this here in case there's anyone here who isn't already on Fanduel (https://www.fanduel.com/?invitedby=joshthestampede&cnl=da) or draftkings (https://www.draftkings.com/r/Joshthestampede) JoshTheStampede fucked around with this message at 22:41 on Sep 23, 2015 |

Anyone play on FantasyHub? Looks pretty new, but decent looking site, has a mobile app, a lot of freerolls and login-bonus games, and a 300% deposit bonus. I suspect a lot of overlay on Sunday but we'll see. Here's my referral link if anyone wants it: https://fantasyhub.com/r/joshthestampede

Ozu posted:Given the two, I'd take Dunbar. Is the rest of your construction top heavy enough to warrant such a low cost guy? Those guys (woodhead, dunbar, sproles, etc) are way better on DK than on FD. Prices are softer and its full PPR. I often stack my roster with a couple of those guys to start, fill out with studs, and then upgrade them if I have money left over. E: My dilemma this week: Moncrief, Crabtree, or Allen Robinson in cash on FD? They're all about the same price. JoshTheStampede fucked around with this message at 16:32 on Sep 25, 2015 |

CompeAnansi posted:Robinson > Moncrief >>> Crabtree. That said, I see both Robinson and Moncrief as being primarily GPP plays since they have yet to demonstrate consistency. Opportunity is there for sure, but the floors aren't high enough for me to be comfortable with them in cash games. If I had to pick one, it'd be Robinson. A sneaky cash play on FD might be Nate Washington since he's been getting ~9 targets a game. Now he hasn't been great at converting those targets into catches, which is likely the QB's fault, but that's good volume for his price. They both have a lot of targets though, and Crabs leads the NFL in targets for WRs. That said, the ~6000 range of WRs isn't much better, with Stevie Johnson, Doug Baldwin, Kendall Wright, Mike Wallace, John Brown, none of which really make me feel safe in cash.

CompeAnansi posted:Hopkins returned to practice today. He still needs to pass concussion testing before being cleared to play, but it looks like he'll play, which lowers Washington's value. On the other hand, Tevin Coleman has been ruled out, so Devonta Freeman should be the lead back. Yeah, I'm gonna be on Freeman. All the arguments for Starks apply (he's not actually very good but it doesn't matter because he'll get 20 carries and a few catches).

CompeAnansi posted:Yeah I like Freeman too. My main problem with him is that on DK he is more expensive than Yeldon. Yeldon has been getting way more rushing attempts and is a more talented player. The only downside to Yeldon is game flow. The Patriots will likely destroy the Jags, so he might not get as many carries as he has been getting. Yeah this of all weeks I would be super scared of any land-based Jaguars.

Yuzenn posted:I'm staying away from a hobbled Lacy against a great front in KC. Lynch is going to cause me so much pain if he doesn't play but if he isn't 100% he might not be a good play anyway.... Yeah, me too, but the danger is that a hobbled Lacy makes Starks a bad play. Whereas Starks alone for 3k is basically a must play. I'm off Lynch at this point in cash, Bell or AP are just as good for about the same price, no point in getting ulcers over Lynch. \/\/\/ Assuming all those guys are starting, I would say Freeman, Powell, Jackson, Polk is the order. Polk will split with Blue, Jackson will split with Rawls. Freeman and Powell are pretty close, but Coleman is definitely out at this point while Ivory may play and be limited and cut into Powell's carries.

So far yeah. In the money on all my cash games (so far anyway) and in small money in a couple tourneys. Whiffed on Forsett and Jstew in one but had a lot of Cam, Freeman, Fitzgerald, Seahawks, AP. Much better than last week anyway. E: at 146 and 138 on fan duel I SHOULD remain in the money in 50/50s right? The line is like 125 now, what are the odds it pushes that much higher in two games?

So with Big Ben getting hurt today and the Steelers playing Thursday, Vick is still priced low for the Monday-Thursday slates. Think that makes it worth playing or will it just be "everyone takes Vick"?

Ended up winning 6/7 cash and in the small money in a few tourneys, up 50 bucks on the week. Forsett/Jstew knocked me out of a double up but I hung on in the 50/50s. I also won a satellite for next weeks Sunday Millions so that's like a free 25 bucks extra.

John Brown is really breaking hearts here. So far this year he's dropped one TD, had two called back for holding, got tackled at the 1 at least once, and had about a hundred yards of pass interference flags committed on him.

Yeah I'm not sure how I feel about that. He used non public knowledge of DK ownership to make an educated guess about FD ownership. On the one hand that's fine, he's not allowed to play on DK so he has to play somewhere. I guess? Should employees of an DFS site be banned from playing DFS at all?

It doesn't actually matter whether the dude cheated or even whether he could have. The two major face companies of a brand new billion dollar industry with already shaky PR based on its connection to old poker industry and its status as sort of gambling need to avoid any whiff of possible impropriety. Even if that means being too draconian on their employees and being a little unfair to them.

Yes but as I said, all that matters now is the avoidance of any semblance of impropriety. The question of whether they should have been banned from the beginning isn't terribly relevant. They have to be banned now, even though that honestly sucks for them since they are pros, and will likely lead to pros not wanting to work for the sites in the future.
