Does anyone else play daily fantasy? I know everyone has been barraged with the commercials. I like fantasy football and sports betting, and this is a really fun format. I did a free entry last week and won $150. (came in 129th out of 383k, thank you Carlos Hyde!). Depending on how the game shakes out tonight I could win $9 on my $3 game and $20 on my $20 game.

I think my strategy going into next week will to draft a high powered qb/receiver/rb combo like brady/gronk/lewis or roethlisberger/brown/williams and then try to fill in the rest with undervalued guys or up and comers. Steelers get Leveon Bell back next week, so he is sure to take some carries from Williams. They play a tough defense on the road (Rams) but the Roethlisberger->Antonio Brown combo is consistently very good. Pats playing the jags at home should generate a lot of offense.
As far a value players, Danny Woodhead has been solid for me the last couple of weeks and was a good value, he’s a big part of San Diego’s offense, especially while getting Melvin Gordon acclimated to the NFL. Stevie Johnson as well. I’m looking at the Browns-Raiders matchup. Travis Benjamin won’t likely repeat his performance but may be developing into a favorite target of JFFs. Derek Carr is a bit of a gunslinger and Cooper and Crabtree may do well. Allen Robinson blew up this week, if Jags get behind early to the pats, then Bortles may have to start slinging it a lot and Robinson will be the beneficiary.
Tight ends are a crap shoot. It’s a very inconsistent position except for Gronk who is uncoverable. Graham has been very quiet in Seattle and looks way over valued. Kelce was shut down by Denver. Witten has been pretty solid. Ladarius Green in SD is looking like he may be a good value if he continues to improve while Gates is out. Richard Rodgers had a great game last night, can he repeat against KC? A. Rodgers may keep targeting him since he adds another receiving option with Jordy Nelson’s absence and Randall Cobb’s injury.
Running backs can be tough because so many teams do RB by committee nowdays. DeMarco Murray looks like a victim of Chip Kelly’s hubris. LeVeon bell is back but Williams played very well in his absence will they split carries? Carlos Hyde was amazing week 1 and dropped off a cliff week 2, now he is questionable going into week 3. Will Giovani Bernard continue to get the lion’s share of the Bengal’s carries after Hill’s fumblitis?
Hopefully I am not the only one who has been obsessed with the weekly fantasy games. I’ll be posting my week 3 lineup(s) when I have them set. If anyone has any good tips or players to look out for please post here.
Here’s my line-up so far for the DK 7M millionaire maker:
This depends heavily on Pats having a huge day at home against the Jags as they are expected to do. Allen Robinson because he’s been undervalued and I think Bortles will need to start slinging the ball when they get behind. Larry Fitzgerald still has a lot of gas in the tank and with a healthy Palmer at home he should do well. Danny Woodhead has been a good value through two weeks and the Titans DST should have a good day against the slumping Colts at home. I really wanted the Jets or Seahawks but I couldn’t afford them. Hyde should be good to go against AZ. He’s the main guy in SF with Bush ingured and Kaepernick needs help from the running game. I thought I may be in to heavy on pats players and considered getting another RB other than lewis but he has been undervalued the first two weeks.
