Thanks, that the fact "Sharks" can use software to predict the lineups and quickly substitute lineups is straight up fraud. Also Draft Kings has cancelled contests at the last minute probably to cover their losses by not having enough participants. A BIG SCAM it is. The commercials are annoying too.
I don't think that makes it a fraud or a scam. If the company itself was doing that or aiding them, then yea. I think these people are just playing way smarter than the rest of us mortals.
Actually.. if you join a contest with guaranteed payouts and the required amount of people DO NOT join, it is still guaranteed. So technically, you have better odds of placing for money in those types of drafts. It happened in weeks 1 and 2 in the $20 million dollar maker.
Guaranteed contests can not be cancelled. There is no software that can predict what football players will do on any given sunday. You can write software to try to predict ownership levels, but even that is somewhat tricky.
Here is how they turned out. The number in parenthesis is their score if it's 3x their salary. I target 3x to 4x salary. GPP Value plays for this week. Tyrod Taylor - $5800 - 15.46 (17.4) Thomas Rawls - $3000 - 5.7 (9) Karlos Williams - $3400 - 16 (10.2) Travis Benjamin - $4500 - 13.9 (13.5) Rishard Matthews - $4400 - 2.6 (13.2) Ted Ginn Jr — $3400 - 15.8 (10.2) Charles Clay - $3,300 - 23.1 (9.9) I ended up not playing Tyrod, Benjamin or Matthews in any cards. I didn't like Matthews against the Jets once I saw Revis was going to play (that meant Cro/Revis on Matthews). Benjamin I keep not believing in every week and he scores points. I did play Rawls and Karlos Williams on a card which allowed me enough salary to add Julio and ODB to the ticket...which obviously stunk.
Hankerson has good value this week. I think he was listed at 6000. I also love Travis Benjamin this week. I have Benjamin / Hankerson / James Jones for my receivers and sadly had to take Brady & Gronk for my studs, along with Eddie Lacy. That left me with Carlos Hyde in the other RB spot, Matt Bryant as kicker and Bills defense. I like this line up but not as much as I liked last week's group prior to the games. I ended up winning $50 in the $25 millionare sunday game last week. First win of the season
I did 3 lineups this week for DraftKings. Two $3 entries and a $20 entry. $3 entry: QB - Kaepernick RB - Bell/Dion Lewis WR - Keenan Allen/ ODB / Eddie Royal TE - Fleener Flex - Kelce DST - Falcons $3 entry: Qb - Rivers RB - Bell/Dion Lewis WR - Allen/ Chad Givens (WR on Baltimore - deep threat for flacco) / Emmanuel TE - Fleener Flex - Jordan Mathews DST - Patriots $20 entry QB - Rivers RB - Bell/Dion Lewis WR - Keenan Allen / Eddie Royal / Emmanuel TE - Kelce Flex - Aiken DST - Falcons I crossed over a lot of players so hopefully Rivers --> Allen can help me out.
Chris Thompson Anthony/Boobie Dixon Todd Gurley - Way underpriced. WRs Snead-Underpriced for the role he has in the Saints offense. Cole Beasley-Dallas may end up in catchup mode vs the pats. At least one of the cheap Dallas WRs should perform.
Wow I had no idea Gurley was so cheap! He's cheaper than almost every backup rb. How is that possible? I wouldn't have even noticed. Now I can upgrade my wrs.
Draftkings prices move slower than the other DFS website. Early last season I was rolling steve smith sr out for a ridiculously low price, took weeks for them to adjust. It was like they didn't believe it. Larry Fitz has been a bit like that this season but his price seems about right now. I'm rethinking Boobie Dixon in my lineups. Don't think he's going to do much, the coaches seem skeptical. I've got one $20 lineup and like six $3 lineups.
I swapped most of my cards around last minute. Had a lot of Bell - Charles - Gurley. I had two Forsett-Martin cards that sadly were killed by bad QB's. I didn't use Dixon anywhere. I haven't tried out Yahoo or Fanduel yet, but I like DK's scoring a lot better (1 point ppr!), no kickers, and slow price moves. It really gives you an advantage if you know your stuff and you realize guys like Willie Snead are way underpriced.
I'm going all in on Matt Stafford this week. I know he hasn't been great, but take a look at all the tough defenses he's faced. Detroit isn't as bad as their 0-5 record suggests and they are playing Chicago. I benched Calvin Johnson on my regular fantasy league the past 2 weeks, but he is going to be back in affect this week. Here's my team for this week: QB: Stafford RB: R Hillman, Matt Forte WR: Calvin Johnson, Julian Edelman, Jordan Matthews TE: M Bennett K: J Tucker D: Broncos I might switch it up a little bit, but this lineup has me licking my chops. Maybe too much invested in Chicago vs Detroit? Their defenses are both less than desirable so the hope is that it's a high scoring game.
Are there any code words worth using for this site? I do the same game basically on Yahoo, and every week I win my money back. I've heard that there are better deals on DK. Thoughts?
Hell Yeah man. Stafford > Calvin stack is a really nice value play this week. So is Ryan > Hankerson ($4.2k on DK) I am obviously putting 4k into using West on KC. If he gets all the carries and finds the endzone he is a great play. Especially vs the Vikings and that 4.7 YPC defense. I also have Bradford > Mathews stack. Mathews hasnt found the endzone in like 3 weeks.
