(ง ͠° ل͜ °)ง the unseen Marshall is not the deadliest Marshall (ง ͠° ل͜ °)งNeeded 1.9 pts from Brandon Marshall to win my matchup. No problem, right?
Yeah...
every year this happens to at least one team in every league. Perhaps this is your year!4th highest points scored but most points scored against leaves me a sad 1-2 in League C :(
Yeah I'm taking solace in regression to the mean. Still stings a littleevery year this happens to at least one team in every league. Perhaps this is your year!
only week 3 though, don't panic yet
3-0 in Smogon B league despite a truly deplorable week. I'm still second in points for though behind the other 3-0 guy
There was nothing on the wire that looked safe. Bucs turned out to be a 5 point play, but i felt pretty smart sitting them through the first half of that game.Why didn't you play a defense?
?_?
Surely there had to be some decent options. You should always play a defense.There was nothing on the wire that looked safe. Bucs turned out to be a 5 point play, but i felt pretty smart sitting them through the first half of that game.
eh, either they were a terrible defense and/or they were playing a high-powered offense.Surely there had to be some decent options. You should always play a defense.
Also Fanduel is amazing. I played in like 8 different leagues last week. Its probably best to stick with the 1$ or 2$ leagues.
in the past ive had tons of random issues with them. this year everything has been fine though. even their mobile app has been working. the only complaint i have is that it doesnt automatically replace my injured players at the last minute for me.Why does Yahoo's fantasy website suddenly suck so hard this year? Half the time I can't even load the page correctly. Anyone else having this issue?
you are losing 3 starters and gaining 1so thats my team. some guy offered me Lacy + Torrey Smith + Jarrett Boykin (obv garbage filler imma drop) for Andre Johnson, Floyd, and Spiller
my bench right now is gerhart / jordan reed / cecil shorts / greg jennings / terrance williams
I find myself pretty bad at daily fantasy. Is it better to choose high variance players (say, Vincent Jackson) that give you the best shot of scoring large amounts of points? Or is it usually better to fill the lineup with "value" players and filling it out with 2-3 elite players? Are the odds of making a profit larger with the $25 leagues compared to the $2 or $1 leagues, or vice versa? Do most of the leagues fill up to capacity?If any of you are confident in your fantasy skills and have a small amount of disposable income, I highly recommend joining fanduel's weekly payout leagues.
Yea, the $1 and $2 leagues are decent cause they're always full and obviously low risk, but the main $25 league has the same entry fee:total prize pool ratio and is low enough to not be unreasonable (also the "omg what if I get lucky" factor is a lot stronger). I actually played in 2 $2 leagues last week.Surely there had to be some decent options. You should always play a defense.

If you're going for broke and the top prizes, I'd say it's in your best interest to go with all players that have potential for Boom, regardless of the potential for Bust. However, my strategy last week was to ensure a high floor and take some chances based on match up. This tends to lean more towards finding value picks and then loading up on stars if you can. I ended up 3000th out of 57000th for a $75 dollar pay day, even though the two "luck slots" (K and Def) for me only gave me 2 points each. My guess is so long as I don't make stupid decisions and continue to find those reasonable values (for example, last week I went with Kirk Cousins against Eagles as a value pick at QB, this week going with Donald Brown against Jacksonville as a value pick at RB), I can probably end up in the lower pay out ranges most of the time assuming I don't get incredibly unlucky.I find myself pretty bad at daily fantasy.

This is all well and good until you actually look at his projections vs reality. This guy quite frankly doesn't have a clue.I probably shouldn't be sharing this, but there's a guy on Reddit that does a pretty good job of analyzing defenses. It's mostly for streaming defenses in regular leagues, but can be adapted for daily fantasy as well.
Here's his post for this week.
I'm too lazy to screenshot it, but someone I'm playing this week has this bench: Eric Decker (injured), Ryan Mathews (injured), Danny Woodhead (IR), Gio Bernard (Bye), Miles Austin (Bye), Harry Douglas (injured), and Jared Cook (bye). His flex spot is empty, and his current starters include Bishop Sankey, Carlos Hyde, Hakeem Nicks, and Heath Miller.
If I lose this game I'm quitting fantasy 4lyfe. I'm projected to win 152-92, so hopefully nothing bad happens.
