Unless I win a satellite, I'm staying away from Milly Maker. Couldn't keep myself away from the GPP itch but I'm only playing single-entry at least

 

[bleed05]

Single entry GPP with a low amount of contestants is the way to go

 

[steebie j]

I always play single entry tournaments if it's not a late night or prime time line up

 

[do work son]

i want to also just skip out on thursday slates unless it's a monday thursday only. that way i'll always have an idea of ownership percentages. i.e. in a monday-thursday, you're only guessing on thursday's game. if you do a regular sunday lineup, you'll have an idea of ownership from the thursay full slate.

[pauliepeppas]

Eddie Lacy killed me, 4-6 pts away from cleaning up in just about all my entries. This guy did nada smh, but Im,pretty sure everyone who lost can say the same too

 

[aNYone]

Lost like 80 cash after winning nearly 700 my first two weeks of ever playing 

This is a new week doe, They got me hooked, IM still in this thang. 

 

[bleed05]

My first week I won $70...lost $100 this week smh...but they got me, I'm hooked and ready for this week's games lol

 

[DadNboujee]

I advanced in my survivor with two entries. They keep chopping the cut down 10,000 at a time.

It's down to the top 20,000

waiting for that drastic cut.

Who are the sleepers this week? I dont know if I want to play Barndige against Broncos this week....

How many lineups do you play on average? Also depends on if you're playing cash games or entering into tourneys.

I wouldn't touch anyone from Broncos or Browns offense for a cash game. If you're going off game script. The Browns D has been a joke but Broncos Offense, especially the O-Line, has been so inconsistent that it's not worth the risk despite the on-paper opportunity. Denver's D is clearly tops in the league and the only person worth even a maybe consideration would be Benjamin or Duke Jr. solely off of garbage time potential.

However, if you play several lineups, getting action on this game could be a great tourney strategy because plenty of people will fade this entire contest sans Broncos D. Ronnie Hillman continues to waste people's money each week but if there was ever a spot to finally hit paydirt it's this week. Do not even consider OD anymore after that ridiculous donut lady week though

I play about 5-15 lineups a week depending on how much i like the week. Only players I like from Broncos game is DT but I dont trust Peyton anymore and Duke Jr maybe might be good. 

I dont know who else I would get from other games though. Jordan Mathews? Calvin Johnson? Brandon Marshall? 

How did you do last week? positive, negative, about same?

 

[d e beatup]

Fitz & Marshall have been very consistent & Decker's presence should help keep things open for Marshall. Both the Diplomats starting corners were out last week so keep an eye on the injury report.

Hopkins and Edelman are 100% must plays for me. Gotta play Snead also solely based on value at his price tag. Until the Lions fire their OC I'm not touching anyone except maybe Riddick.

Depending on Bortles and Yeldon's status I might play both Robinson and Hurns together in a LU. Jags have no one outside of Yeldon and I'm not sold on Julius Thomas. Texans secondary is a joke also with inferior LB play and no pass rush at all.

I absolutely am in on Boldin this week also with a very favorable matchup. 49ers aren't getting anything from their TEs or RBs in the pass game either so I expect the volume to be there for him.

Considering I had Jamaal Charles in almost every lineup I didn't lose too much last week. Ben's injury and Jamaal's definitely affected me big time cause I was all in on both when they got hurt. I'm focusing on just enjoying the process for now as opposed to trying to actually win cash. If I win some satellites then I'll enter the big tourneys but it's not fun anymore when you approach it solely to win a bunch of money

those aren't tourneys, they're cash games.

tourneys are the the millionaire maker, grand prize pool (GPP) etc.. where only top 5-10% cash.

stick with cash games unless ur line up is fire.

Finally cracked and decided to try DFS. I'm playing on draft kings, do you guys have any tips or helpful information for a noob like me. Finding games are kind of confusing and what not.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

 

[Olympus]

Gotta go hard in some cash games this week. Down $70 on the season playing mostly tourneys. Not worth it anymore.

 

[d e beatup]

I'm pretty sure he meant which is the best of the three, just with bad placement of his punctuation.

I'd recommend going to rotogrinders.com and searching their site; there are a good amount of articles explaining the ins and outs & fundamental strategy for beginners.

The best advice I give is to not even attempt tourneys for several weeks because you'll be throwing money away. There are tons of free contests with league/head-to-head available to cut your teeth on. When you do start playing for actual money, don't wager anything you'd want to slap yourself for losing. If you can afford to lay $100 games and not blink then cool. But generally don't play if you would deeply regret losing it.

Repped!

I deposited $200 in last night. The $200 dollar match takes forever to accumulate correct? Thanks for the info on the website, I'll definitely check that out before the games tomorrow.
