Daily Fantasy Discussion

[ImBrotherCain]

I know we had this over at DC, and this is the first season I am doing it.

So perfect time for a thread.

[ImBrotherCain]

I decided to put $85 into Fan Duel so I can bet $10 a week in the 50/50 games.

This week my team is:
QB: Brady - $8,400
RB: Lacy - $8,500
RB: Miller - $7,300
WR: Bryant - $8,700
WR: J. Matthews - $6,800
WR: D. Adams - $5,500
TE: Olsen - $ 5,900
K: McManus - $4,500
DEF: Jets - $4,400

Would love some thoughts from someone more experienced than I.

I've never done football daily football. I've only done baseball. I just got a $50 visa gift card so I think I'll put that into my Draft Kings account and use that for the year.

Pick 2 to start.... Mike Evans, Tevin Coleman, TJ Yeldon or Alfred Blue

First two.

Is there really a difference between draftkings and fan duel?

Pricing, Scoring(?) and Roster construction, beyond that I don't believe so.

No kickers in draft kings. It's included in the defense, I believe. They use different algorithms to weight the players.

Playing in a yahoo tournament, and I'm trying out lineups with very cheap QBs.
Who would you go with: Tyrod Taylor vs Colts or Kirk Cousins vs Dolphins?

I think Tyrod has more chances to have a guy make a big play on a checkdown than Cousins. Also more likely to run one in himself. Zero confidence in Cousins.

Thanks, makes me feel better about starting Coleman. But Evans is questionable and hasn't played in the preseason (has he?) I think he'll play, but Yeldon and Blue are starting RBs not in a committee. I was leaning with Yeldon to be honest.

I guess I should google Evans to check up on his health.

Tyrod I think, potential on the ground and likely to need to pass to keep up with the Colts.

Apparently its not looking good on Evans, so maybe Coleman and Yeldon.

Thanks for the input guys. I'm leaning Tyrod as well. The only reason I'm considering Cousins was because he averaged around 300 yds and 1.75 tds in his 6 games last year, and Tyrod is a complete unknown. But yeah, Cousins will probably be pummeled into the ground by Suh and Wake.

Random fact: Both Tyrod and Cousins cost the same as guys like Tom Savage, Bryce Petty and Zach Dysert...

Brandon Bolden is at the lowest price point for RBs inn DraftKings.

Sounds like a nice bargain flyer. Unfortunately you can't pick players from tonights game in the Yahoo tourney.

[TheJayUNF]

I think Chris Ivory is a nice cheap option at RB. The Jets don't have a passing attack, they have a solid offensive line, and the Browns gave up the most rushing yards in the league last year.

[RAVENS/WIZARDS/ORIOLES]

Do I start Bell or Abdullah? Who do I play at flex??


Drew Brees
Carlos Hyde
Jaque Bell/Abdullah????(Help?)
Demaryius Thomas
Dez Bryant
Richard Rodgers
Sammy Watkins/Michael Floyd/John Brown/Garcon/Crabtree????(Help?)

[TheJayUNF]

Put together a little DraftKings lineup

Aaron Rodgers
Chris Ivory
Jeremy Hill
Allen Robinson
Eddie Royal
Antonio Brown
Tyler Eifert
Greg Olsen
Packers
