Posted a long writeup earlier but Steemit lost the blog, so just going to do a quick rundown this time around.
Liked the following players:
-QB: Drew Brees, Deshaun Watson
-RB: Kareem Hunt, Todd Gurley, Lamar Miller, Mark Ingram, Jerick McKinnon
-WR: DeAndre Hopkins, Michael Thomas, Jarvis Landry, Michael Crabtree, Amari Cooper, Taylor Gabriel, Jamison Crowder, Ricardo Louis
-TE: ASJ, Kyle Rudolph, Austin Hooper, Zach Miller
-DST: Ravens, Falcons
There were over 100 lineups within a point of optimal and they had wildly different lineup constructions. I thought my choices were the safest: lock the high owned players, play Brees+Hopkins to semi block not having Watson/Thomas, and split between the close spots.
This was the first week that not having the Sunday Night Football game hurt the slate: Broncos Defense and Evan Engram were excellent plays. It really sucks that Draftkings did not reevaluate their decision to leave the game off the slate for this week, since Falcons/Patriots is the game of the year with many potential plays.
I had trouble finding better options to split with than Jarvis/Larry. Le’Veon Bell was a $300 discount from Kareem Hunt, but the money didn’t open anything up since I already had everyone I wanted elsewhere.
Lineup of the year — only lineup within half a point was Le’Veon over Kareem straight up, but just like Fanduel, the $3 savings opened up no other players, and in half PPR I preferred Kareem.
There were a few options after locking in the four RBs, Thielen, and Broncos, so I split two ways to get exposure to the players I liked.
Won on all 4 sites and am finally profitable on the season. Have only booked two winners in the first 6 weeks this year: compare that to last year where I won huge 5 weeks and had one small losing week over the same time period. But happy to be up overall finally.
Only a two game slate, but Cavs/Celtics and Warriors/Rockets are both great games. Since I’ll be playing much smaller in NBA and have no fear of bragging, I will be running a daily results blog just as I did for MLB.
