POS 45
bipolarbearcatbipolarbearcat SCORE 122.06
QB Philip Rivers 27.08
RB LeGarrette Blount 2.5
RB DeMarco Murray 28
WR Jeremy Kerley 0.8
WR Antonio Brown 29.28
WR Dez Bryant 11.9
TE Antonio Gates 4.5
K Adam Vinatieri 11
D Detroit Lions 7
Well, there it is. I finished in the money...just barely. Literally every low-cost money saving player I started was a bust.
LeGarrette Blount - Last week against a week team, Blount made about 14 points. Against a wesk team, Pittsburgh starts using Blount when they have a lead. I figured Tampa for a weak team, and that was not the case.
Jeremy Kerley - With Decker hurt, he should be the #1 target. He made points last week. If Geno Smith could just be as bad a s last week, I should be money. He was. even worse and I came away with 8/10ths of a point.
Antonio Gates - One site had him listed as the start of the week at TE. He was cheap. He did get the ball thrown his way, but it just didn't work out.
The #1 team in this 50/50 contest killed it on cheap picks and finished about 40 points ahead of me. He had Teddy Bridgewater who was only 3 points and change behind my OB pick. I would never have started that guy. Golden Tate and Nick Novak made about 15 points a piece for him.
I think I learned a little this week, but the lack of predicability regarding NFL games and how individual players will contribute still makes it a crap shoot. Say what you will about the ESPN experts, but their ranks include Hall of Famers, players with Super Bowl rings, and others who have spent a lifetime in football. Out of 13 experts, not one of them picked Tampa Bay to beat Pittsburgh. Only one expert said the Vikes would beat Atlanta.

Week 5 lineup QB - Eli RB - Bradshaw RB - Ellington WR - Julio WR - Cruz WR - ABrown TE - Kelce K - Bironas D - Jets Jeez, Your money at WR!! :makeitrain: guess what i did? half hour before kiick off, i tinkered. Swapped Juilio for a value play (Allen Robinson) at WR.... So I could change ellington for Murray and Kelce for delanie walker. cost me at least 20 points and a spot in the $$.

I did pretty good with some other guesses. I stuck with RB Justin Forsett although he was part of a RBBC. He got me 19.2 points and I have Giovani coming up. I will post my line up and excuses when the dust settles.

You have a team where you own Gino Smith and Cousins at the same time? Is there a choice C? Maybe Keanu Reeves. Are your running backs Marshaun Lynch, Godzilla, and Chuck Norris? Please tell us what surcumstance led you to this situation.

Please tell us what surcumstance led you to this situation. Cousins has played decent actually. You are correct, of coarse. He has better numbers than a lot of veterans at that position. I had not had a drink in two weeks and bought a bottle of vodka. This is one of those morning where I realize that I am not the laugh riot that I imagine.

POS 40 bipolarbearcatbipolarbearcat SCORE 102.22
QB Philip Rivers 22.82
RB Giovani Bernard 8.2
RB Justin Forsett 19.2
WR Emmanuel Sanders 14.4
WR Keenan Allen 4
WR Terrance Williams 14.1
TE Owen Daniels 9.5
K Robbie Gould 7
D Dallas Cowboys 3
I played two 50/50 games with the same line-up. I came in #40 in this "Sunday Only" game and #34 in a game that included Thursday and Monday. After loosing my first 4 FanDuel contest, I have won 7 in a row.
I may start a thread about FanDuel math on the mange bored. I only play $5 games. I have lost four and won seven. I get a twenty cent bonus from FanDuel for every games I enter. I started with $50. How much money do I have now?
A few comments on my player picks:
Picking Dallas D was cute and I got what I deserved.
Owen Daniels was started because I was chicken to try Antonio Gates again. Owen didn't let me down, but I may try Gates again next time.
Keenan Allen caught everything the week before. This was my attempt to pick a breakout player. I suck.
Justin Forsett was my best pick. Cheap and effective.

You unlocked the voodoo math for me. Long story, Long. When I was trying to set up a head to head with jtb, I selected the private setting and indicated I wanted to play with a friend. Although I got a link and instructions to send the link to my friend, my contest also showed up on the lobby. I immediately got a player accepting my "public" challenge. I am new at this and contacted FanDuels customer service. I will never do that again. They say they will get back to you in 12 hours or less and they took over 24. They actually emailed me while the game was live and said they would cancel and I should never fuck up again. I emailed them back and said I felt bad that a live game was getting canceled. I didn't want to cheat some guy out of four bucks. (He lost by the way). So FanDuel show that the contest took place and counts that I won and that I got the money in my total winnings but takes four bucks out on my account balance, which is $56.20. Whatever.

Week 6 Lineup
Eli Manning Andre williams Justin forsett Golden Tate Antonio Brown Julio Jones Delanie Walker Robbie Gould Pckaers Defense
$500 in cap remaining..... not enough to upgrade to a "stud" RB but i feel like i have 2 guys with opportunity + match up. Going back to the Julio and Brown wells again at WR being that they both didn't score last week. Delanie has the Jags... Golden tate has minny with Calvin gimpy. Eli is playing well right now and a good value at QB.
only thing I am undecided on is trying to get Gronkowski in the lineup. He seems to be in form. It would require me to take a hit (probably on one of my RB's and my defense)
