    I went Le'Veon / Jordy Nelson / DHop / A Morris / Brees / Gurley / A Robinson / Yeldon / Fitzgerald / E Decker in my money league. Took lumps in first two weeks. Now I just dropped the highest score of the week. Picked up Gates and Dalton, and traded Yeldon/Decker for Beckham Jr. I'm feeling really good about winning this league now.

    That is how you set up a solid foundation for success. I moved my WR5 and RB4 for a WR1 to pair with Hopkins, Fitz and Robinson, I have fantasy's best back and Gurley with 2 straight 150 yard games. I can stream Dalton or Breed and I have Gates now at TE.

    Nope it was Freeman. Probably was last year. It was actually in our smeg clutchfans league. Also didn't help that Coleman was brought it really high. Once he returns it could put a slight dent in Freeman's value.

    What is DeSean Jackson's value for the rest of the season? Think he's someone worth stashing for?

    That's what I'm doing right now. My league went crazy and drafted RB after RB so I have Brown and Beckham jr as my wr1 and wr2. I can hold onto Jackson since I was able to also get some decent backs.

    Thinking of starting my top 3 RB's this week.

    Ivory, C.Johnson, Blount(flex)

    Blount hasn't had a whole lot of carries but has put up decent yardage. C.Johnson has been fairly solid the past 3 weeks.

    My other option at flex would be Garcon.

    Deflate Gate revenge game. Brady is going to try to throw 8 touchdowns.

    I agree. Seems WR's bust way less frequently than RB's.

    This one hurts. I lost by 2 points, Daniels screwed me.

    I faded Daniels in my DFS plays. Oakland played different LBs in coverage and Manning adjusted by singling out Emmanuel Sanders against ****ty DJ Hayden most of the day. I also correctly faded Ryan/Julio, but I failed by trying to stack Keenan Allen with Rivers instead of Gates. That and Jamaal Charles' injury barely kept me from finishing in the green despite hitting on sleeper picks like Marquess Wilson and Derek Carrier. This industry is nuts. I've learned so much in the past 5 weeks that I feel like a complete idiot now for even trying to play in tourneys in the past.

    My advice to anyone attempting to do DFS is don't even think about risking more than a couple bucks until you've done your homework. The sharks in this industry are playing pure volume and you have virtually no chance trying to rely on your 1 measly lineup against 50 of theirs.

    Wait, you aren't working in the FFB/DFS industry now are you?

    No, I'm just trying to learn the ins and outs of DFS because I see a lot of profit potential if you have the capability to interpret data correctly through programming and other scientific methods.

    Keenan Allen and Danny Woodhead enough to get Matt Forte or any of those RB1? Trying to see what's a fair value for them.

    Ok so here's my team (relevant players only) 12 team league

    QB - Eli
    RB - Arian, Devonta Freeman, Yeldon, Blount
    WR-Odell, AJ Green, Alshon Jeffrey, Moncrief
    TE - Eifert
    D- Seattle

    This league starts 2 RBs, 3 WRs 1 TE and a flex.

    I'm pretty happy with this team right now, but I have been offered Randall Cobb for Arian, I'm leaning towards no but I just worry about Arian getting hurt. But I also don't want to lose Arian and then Freeman starts regressing.

    Thoughts?

    You're pretty stacked at WR already, do you really need another one?

    I'd keep Arian around if I were you. Team does look very good though.

    Alshon's hamstring seems to be lingering, Moncrief has been solid most weeks though.

    Like I said, I'm leaning towards no but it's making me think a bit. My ideal lineup if I did pull the trigger would be

    QB-Eli
    RB-Freeman, Yeldon
    WR-Odell, Green, Cobb
    Flex-Jeffrey
    TE-Eifert

    I'm just weary of Arian going down.

    I like Jets, but I am always wary of interconference matchups because they are notorious for being unpredcitable due to the teams being unfamiliar with each other. Washington isn't much of a threat offensively and the Jets have been very stingy. Vegas has Jets -6 and a low O/U of 40.

    Bengals might be interesting if Manuel is indeed starting instead of Taylor, but I think you stick with the Jets here.

    Agree with the others, keep Arian. Yes, he is injury prone, but if you want to win it all in FFB sometimes you have to shoot for the moon and I think a healthy Arian gives you a lot better chance to win it all than having Cobb and lacking depth at RB.

    Right now you are well set with two RB1s and two WR1s, I wouldn't mess with that.

    John Brown looks to be picking up the pace from his rather slow start to the season.

    Anybody think Fitz will come back down to Earth and Brown will start exploding onto the scene?

    I just droped Marvin Jones for him in my $$ league.
