What's the best way to find GPP with overlay? I'm only on DraftKings so far but will probably diversify as the season (and my DFS knowledge) progresses

I, too, did terribly with GPPs this week. The only consolation is that many people bombed in cash games so it wasn't too bad to at least break even there. RBs set me back quite a bit but I think my only saving grace was WRs like Julio and Edelman, plus Denver defense. The one takeaway from it all is that bankroll management is key.

Tortilla Maker posted:I spent $3 and won back $4 on DK. I play in a league with longtime friends that has money on the line but is mostly for bragging rights and having fun. DFS gives me an outlet for taking things "seriously," and lets me justify the amount of time that I spend reading about fantasy stuff online so that I don't have to drag down the season long league by being a tryhard. My friends league is a lot more fun now that I can play a bit looser and not worry about anything since I'm stressing over my daily lineups instead. I dipped my toes in week 1 and won $20 from about $10 in entries. Week 2 I entered more contests but did pretty poorly, bringing my net profit to $.10 total so far. Onward to week 3!

CompeAnansi posted:So Jordan Reed hit 4x value on DK last night, which is a great start to the week. He also had two wide open targets in the endzone that Cousins was too inaccurate to captialize on, so it could have been a much bigger game. If his cost stays low I think he'll be a great value for the next few weeks since he is getting a ton of targets and is by far their best red zone option. I saw how cheap he was and threw him into a lineup that I entered in a handful of games. Kinda wish I had done more, but I was strapped for time and threw in placeholders for everyone else just to get an entry in time for TNF. Are there any updates on DeMarco Murray? PPR in DK helps quite a bit and I feel like Sproles can be a great value this week if Murray is limited at all. Current lineup: Palmer $6600 Sproles $3800 Woodhead $4400 Julio $9000 Edelman $7300 D Adams $5000 Reed $3800 L Bell $7500 Falcons $2900 Like I said, I threw it together in a rush because I just wanted to lock something in with Reed so maybe I'll end up with some changes.

Woodhead hurt me quite a bit this week. So did accidentally picking Cowboys DST in one of my GPP plays... it was honestly an accident and I was confused when I saw them in my lineup but it was too late. Everyone else was such high scoring that I didn't cash with rosters that had 145 pts but did with one that hit 170, unfortunately I did not enter many with that one. My meek winnings were wiped out from this week to put me at a net loss is $20 on the season but that's what bankroll management is for, and it's been fun nonetheless. Gonna claw my way back into the black.

I had a bunch of Lamar Miller in my cash lineups but when I got the Antonio Gates news, I decided to switch him out and thought "well now I can use this extra salary to upgrade my RB!" I didn't end up keeping him in any lineup

Marshmallow Blue posted:I know it's still a very small sample size, but I've had a pretty good first 2 weeks in DFS. Much better than me so far. Definitely a small sample size but best of luck with keeping that going. My cumulative profit is down quite a bit for NFL but I'm really only like $10 shy of my initial deposit because I won a little off of some dumb NHL freeroll during their playoffs last year. Maybe I only have this much still because I took a few weeks off, but who knows.  https://www.dailyfantasynerd.com is useful for some stats. I have an extremely small sample size (54 cash games, 19 GPP) so there's very little to glean from it, but it does show that I'm profitable in H2H and losing money everywhere else.

How many different cash lineups do you guys enter in a given week? Do you try to cover the variance by entering more H2H contests with one lineup, or create a handful of lineups with fewer entries each so that you limit your exposure to any given player?

I've wondered how it translates to NHL as well. I am significantly more knowledgeable about the game itself compared to other sports but I haven't done much research or know anything at all about how to apply that towards fantasy. It's so much more hit/miss compared to some other sports. There have been a bunch of daily free rolls on DK so I'm using that to get my feet wet and learn a bit about the scoring. So far it seems like you can get a high floor by grabbing D-men on bad teams with low possession stats and lots of shot blocking, and plus good goalies are capable of putting up a lot of consistent points so seems worth the salary investment. Aside from that it's hard to get a feel for it without doing much research. Points can be streaky so I'll probably focus a lot on players that get a lot of PP/PK time more than anything.

Yuzenn posted:Whelp, if you didn't play Brees or Eli or Odell or Watson you basically lost money this week. I had none of the big plays and managed to break even somehow  Doing pretty badly overall but I'm glad to only be down $10 from my initial deposit this far in to the season.

This week was pretty crazy. My average winning roster gets 160 points, but this week everything did well over 170 and I still lost a bunch to go down $10 out of $30 in play. I think it was bad bankroll management on my part because when I look at it now I was just outside of the bubble on a lot of double ups. Had I done more H2H or 50/50 then I would have come out a lot differently.
