ummmmm 83-27 so $56. possible winning ... ~$550,000

josh how many teams is that? i am only in the $3 and $5 games. any good high roller games to get in?

the worst is when you start someone like moncrief or fleener on a thursday and have to kiss your chances of winning anything substantial with that team goodbye

fish ima do one more with bradford and matthews. you wanna help? ill email you the salaries.

my breakdown for the week. fleener was a steal last week but dwayne allen coming back killed him.

- giving blake bortyles a try nick?  how much of your pool have you spent on backup qbs thus far? I know you got mariotta, romo, carr and now bortyles, just trade for big ben and get it over with!

- 80 points for West?!? I put up like 30 haha, wasn't even close.  is he even the full time starter and what happened to knile davis?  watching andy reid coached football teams for over 10 years, if he doesn't have a starting RB he is going to rotate his backs heavily and pass even more.  will be interesting to see how this guy plays and if he was worth using basically every waiver wire points 5 weeks into the year. 

- I was thinking about getting tyrod taylor, you guys realize he has the 4th most points for a qb? but that was until he got hurt and then realized him and Bradford have the same bye week so that made no sense.

you're focusing too much on your dumb fanduel teams and think u can start 15 different lineups and win $ based off that!  you lost your ways smh.

cowboys are also considering switching from randel to Michael.  I see josh had his alarm set for 6am today and already picked him up haha.  looks like the cowboys are getting tired of randel, I thought any RB can run behind that line???  interesting to see how Michael does, I think he has about 10 yards this season but he has talent.

dont like any of them honestly. steelers have a very good run D, denver has a great D overall and that dude Csomething West came out of nowhere to win the cheifs job apparently.

as much as it pains me I'd prolly say d johnson becuase i think hes the best fantasy back of the 3. i say that with no confidence thou ;)

brutal. feel bad for JC he seems like a good guy and non contact injuries are the worst.

was hoping to sneak the packers D thru waivers until i decide which QB to drop on sunday. josh had other plans dammit!

haha good one joe.

josh, is every player on your avatar pic currently injured?  forget the madden jinx, we got the Jpoo Jinx!

so are these sites banned now?  whats gonna happen?

its a state-by-state law. some states cant play now including nevada, which makes sense. even if DFS does survive the FBI investigation and resistance from the gambling commission, the government is gonna start taxing it out the ass.

play now while you can. pretty soon its going to either not be worth the bet of playing because winnings are deflated, or gone entirely. my friend at the gym whos a lawyer says he cant believe it lasted this long.

but its easy to see why its getting so much attention, which they brought on themselves thanks to greed. if they werent running ads every-other commercial, and sponsored some of the biggest names in sports including the NFL, they likely would have been left alone to quietly do their thing. instead they tried to maximize profits and when you make that much money its only a matter of time before uncle same comes knocking.

or maybe they realized that and put all their eggs into one quick hit, make as much possible before were inevitably shut down, basket.

He's available for trade!

ya $512. im sure its the best ill ever do

umm originally put 100 in, then did a side bet with my cousin last minute last week for $25. so 125 in, $547 when i came into work this morning, withdrew 450.

man im having a hard time getting excited for fantasy this year as well. maybe its cause my team is assembled of the 10 most under performing players in the league? ben being hurt really killed my steelers duo, murray getting better but still not putting up $70 numbers, alex smith doesnt throw more than 3 yards downfield, at least gates was a shot in the arm.

im all in on draft kings, especially after last week. which probably isnt a good thing considering i lose money in real time (althugh my winnings from last week hit my bank acct this morning).


as for starks i think lacy is just having a (another?) bad year. that team is beat up too. wouldnt have spent 35 on him but theres not much left on the ww at this point. i love the steelers D pickup, those guys are putting up 10-16 points a week.

oh and not to mention this: Jeremy Maclin (concussion) is not practicing Wednesday Happy I got them.

i liked the trade in a vacuum but jesus joe is loaded now. thanks for doing this right before i play him!

yeah Danny is way off on that one, we voted a long time ago that Arian will have to be kept based upon draft value.

RES has to go, or a rule has to be implemented that basically you can't keep guys stashed in the RES from the draft. Either way it's ridiculous and violates the entire spirit of the league....


Keepers can stay!

sounds fine to me

i also love how out of all the big time RB's that went for big $ in the auction look almost useless now, how many ended up being worth it half way through the season?  other than AP and gurely, who would be next on that list?  freemon went for how much? dion lewis i got the day of the season for nothing, the cheifs rb west was a waiver add, etc.  i guess that's why bradford is pissing me off so much, i had/have a solid team if i only had a qb who could get me 20-25 points every week like most top QB's but instead i had to make a move to upgrade there.  it looks like the waiver wire $ might be more valuable then we thought! 

^^ haha! I caught a break this week on the matchup but my team was decimated.

can someone tell me how much i need to pay to keep bell for the 3rd year?

josh - try not to put up 145 points this week ummkay?

gotcha thanks.

the RBs have been a HUGE disappointment, but no one other than freeman and gurley have been anywhere near consistent enough to be dominant. most of the guys in the top 10-15 are there because of a few big games and others have been complete duds. danny woodhead? chris johnson? sheesh. i will say that ive grown to LOVE chris ivory as a player this year. didnt even have him on my radar before the season but hes been great to watch (also has games of 0, 4 and 6).

still some time to go. my team looks weak right now but no one cares enough to listen to me complain (cough fish).

I'm not happy with my team right now.  I was ok with it pre-trade but it wasn't producing so I felt I needed to make a big move and upgrade at QB/TE which I did but I had to give up dion lewis to do that.  i thought he would miss a few more games esp on a short week last week and i would be able to pick up a waiver wire RB but frigging kearns beat me out for deaneglo.  if i had him i would have been pumped but i guess kearns is too embarrassed about being in last for a 2nd straight year SMH.  looking back I wish I didn't add lewis to the trade but what can you do.  if big ben starts playing like big ben again or ryan Matthews becomes the full time starter I could bounce back and sneak into the playoffs but I'm not counting on it.  if Bradford murders the eagles season AND my fantasy year he might become my least favorite player of all time ahead of TO.

 

I'm sure you guys saw dion lewis is out for the year.  sucks, he was playing well and u hate seeing guys who finally get a big break on the right team suffer such a bad injury.

with that said, should I feel guilty for feeling good that I traded him 2 weeks ago??

i got travis kelce and ryan Matthews along with big ben.  as long as ben only misses one game I think I "won" that trade but its very close to being a wash with all these injuries.  with that said, still prolly not enough to help me out since I have no true 2nd RB and I'm 2-3 games out.  not my year for fantasy.
