Thread: The "I Have A Fantasy Football Question" Thread

So I start Deshaun finger sniffer Watson against our boys or Jameis ‘Eat the W’ Winston vs Indy or Kirk ‘you like that?!’ Cousins vs the Lions. The QB most likely to hit 300 yards is the best bet for me.

Watson or cousins.

I say Watson! He is going to get you run and pass. IMO with how our defense has perfomed Watson should tear us apart!!! I fully expect them to score in the 40s on us. No von. No Wolfe. demarcus walker is playing- he good but bad against the run. And I would 100% recommend anyone start Will Fuller against us. He is going to eat us alive. JMO.


But if you feel Lock will energize the defense then I would go with cousins against the lions

captain Kirk against the Lions over darnold vs the fins?

Having Kirk on my team , he doesn’t have Thielen yet again. And they are prolly going to run all over the Lions and not need to pass as much. I feel like the jets dolphins will be a shootout.

Hey so my gut was Drake, and Buff's analysis cemented my decision.

It was wrong, Drake scored 7.5 and Devin 13.

I'm ahead by about 10 points and my opponent has Sasquan yet to play.

These are the margins in this deadly game we call fantasy football.

I played Drake over Lindsay in DFS (same price point) ... whoops.

Although I am throwing Buff under the bus here, it is not his fault I had Devantae Parker and Jamison Crowder in that lineup...(but the logic behind both was solid, I think, in a heavy Jets stack ... would be interested in Buff’s thoughts on that stack).

Final score--110.5 to 109.5, something like that. Good guys won.

Lots of considerations here -

In a large field DFS tournament where you're trying to beat out hundred or thousands of other players -- giving yourself every edge is paramount... So playing correlated lineups, players from the same game, while they give you a lower floor, present the opportunity for a higher ceiling in the event that a game is higher scoring.

Miami's defense has been terrible - Darnold has been coming on - so I don't mind those plays.

In terms of Drake vs. Singletary -- Drake did outsnap David Johnson 65% to 35% -- but DJ found the endzone, so technically the thesis was correct but you can't do anything about touchdown variance/volatility. If you simulated that game 100 times Drake is going to score that TD more often than DJ, so I still don't mind the play.

That said - Singletary was seeing about 70-75% of snaps so was a viable play as well - I just figured Arizona would be playing more offensive snaps than Buffalo and I thought Frank Gore was more likely to vulture goal line work than was DJ to vulture Drake. Again, I don't hate the process here, just the results.

This is fair. In terms of DFS, Singletary was much more expensive than Drake, so my choice for Drake was Lindsay. I chose Drake because Denver hasn’t used Lindsay real well, IMO, and I tend to stay away from Broncos because I don’t think analytically about them. Parker getting hurt, Crowder not getting targeted and no one actually getting into the end zone in that game did me in.

Dead serious about a Giants-Dolphins stack this week. Feels like there’s value there to get up to higher-priced guys outside the stack.

Aaron Rogers vs Chicago or Dak Prescott vs LA?

I'm thinking Dak

My gut says Dak, but the chargers have a real good pass D. I would say Rogers. He always seems to light up the bears.

I would go A-A ron.

Tannehill vs Ryan. I was set on Tannehill, but now I've convinced myself that it's Ryan.

Statistically, this is easily Tannehill.

Yeah, just had a weird vibe. That Ryan was angry and Tannehill due a mellowing.
