fan duel Week 3

[Miller]

I'm off to a pretty good start so far. Something for the small rollers here to consider. FD is running a $5 FCCS qualifier this week. For $5 you can take a shot at a trip to Vegas and an opportunity to compete for a $2 MIL top prize! I think I am going to toss a couple line ups in that.

Looking to build my line ups around 2 main stacks again this week: Stafford and Calvin and Brees and Graham. May look at what a Cousins line up with yield as well.

I'm on the fence with Bradshaw as well. I think he is undervalued and is a better back than TRich..... But this is still a full blown RBBC.

This is a REALLY tricky week. I think a lot of people are going to load up on Lions and Packers cause that game has shoot out potential. Buyer beware though. Detroit hasn't managed to score more than 2 offensive TDs in 5 of their last 6 games against Green Bay. The last time they did was that meaningless game when Matt Flynn tossed like 400 TDs in 1 game. Ryan Grant was still the GB RB the last time Det put up any kind of offense against them. Just something to keep in mind.

Value plays I like this week are Russell vs Denver and Brady vs Oak. Lots of cheap prices on players who are positively effected by injuries. PT and Asiata seem like they're way too cheap.

Damn you ER.....you have me rethinking my whole strategy now......

Will likely have some Det exposure, but will likely back off a little and crank up Brees more.

If you want action in the Det-GB game, and you want to make a play that is historically sound, load up on GB. They have huge offensive numbers vs the Lions in the last few years

Am I crazy to think that Hurns could blow up again this week? Marquise Lee and the TE are both out, and Indys D is less than great.

Maybe a good buy low guy

 

[jjtweeks]

i took hurns in one and robinson in another

Shorts could be back....I about took a shot at him.

Rolling out 2 line-ups for my 10 man leagues:
Stafford
Bernard
Ridley
Cal Johnson
Maclin
Quick
Pitta
S Graham
Texans

Brees
Murray
Ridley
K Allen
Maclin
Tate
J Graham
S Graham
NO Saints

Have some t'ment line-ups as well. A little worried about my Brees line-up being too Saints heavy for a small t'ment.

 

[MongerKhan]

Drew Brees
Pierre Thomas
Donald Brown
A.J. Green
Dez Bryant
Allen Hurns
Zach Ertz
Shayne Graham
Houston Texans D

They gave me a free dollar so I entered a contest. I'm playing matchups probably too much but meh. Its a free dollar.

Thoughts?

That Saints lineup should be ok. Watch Keenan Allen. He's been iffy this week.

Ridley seems so gambley to me. It makes sense for him to have a nice game...but Billy and his RBs always scare me

 

[ExperiencedRookie]

Haven't seen a single lineup from you fellas with the NE D in it. What gives?

Playing their home opener in a noon game that features the ole west coast team traveling east. This particular west coast team also happens to be leading the league in turnovers.

I have pats def in 5 of my 6 this week

 

[ExperiencedRookie]

Why the hell would you spend that much money on Peyton and DT? Simply awful matchup...unless you know something I don't.

I loaded up on NE D as well. Tried to keep my usage at under 40% though. Having AJ Green in almost all of my lineups really burned me last week

 

[ExperiencedRookie]

I try to diversify as much as I can, but I feel like I'm cheating myself everytime I build a lineup that isn't anchored by Brees and 1 of his pass catchers.
