Anyone do Fanduel/Draftkings? I'm thinking of doing a weekly write-up on my blog. I did a draft for my girlfriend last night in a PPR league, and came away with a really good team: QB - Stafford WR - Julio Jones, Alshon Jeffrey, C. Patterson RB - Charles, Stacy TE - Ertz K- Walsh DEF - HOU Bench - Cooks, Sankey, Rivers, Rice, Tate, and Hopkins.

Homer too many Jets All things considered for a 14-team(if I calculated that correctly) your top 6 is pretty good. First picking Megatron leaves you weak at RB but that's the be expected.... Is James White available on the waiver wire? What about DeVonta Freeman, or Jeremy Hill, ...looks like you could use another RB, but aside from that your team looks fine.
Hell, TBH, try and trade Cam for a RB/WR....Andy Dalton is a perfectly fine QB1, he finished last season among the top 5 if you can believe it.

so I did a live draft with a 90 second pick time for a ubb for a ccg game I play on android and I think I did ok:Aaron Rodgers Adrian Peterson Reggie Bush Percy Harvin Sammy Watkins Jason Witten Fred Jackson Alex Smith Darren McFadden Knowshon Moreno Bernard Pierce Pierre Garcon Brandon Marshall Stephen Gostkowski Carolina DEF not drafted in that order of course. I had the 3rd pick in the first round and the 8th pick round 2 and it flipped back and forth during the draft what boggled my mind is Colin Kaepernick went round 1 and Tom Brady went round 2 before I took Rodgers in the 2nd round he was the 5th QB drafted. __________________ I was sane once, it was a fleeting thing and thankfully passed quickly.Life is all one big joke.

So this is my 3rd year playing, but for the first time I actually got a decent amount of points from my 1st round pick. So good!

Haven't done draftkings but I have been playing draftteam since last season. They run some free contests and when you sign up by referral you and the person who refers you both get $10 draft dollars. Only drawback is you have to make a deposit before you can make a withdrawal so after referring myself 4 times I won a 10 man and had to make a $25 deposit to pull out my cash.

So I have the following options here, wondering what you guys would take.Doug Martin vs STL which according to Yahoo doesn't really give up many RB pts. Martin is questionable. Terrance West vs NO and NO gives up the yards for every offensive player. He is not questionable. My notion was to go with West, and sit my 2nd round pick since he was so bad last week playing with the injury, but what do you think??

so I have the following problems in one of my leagues the only league that actually has a prize in it and need some advice.I have Adrian Peterson Knowshon Moreno Alex Smith (backup QB) at this point do I just drop Peterson who was my first round pick or is there a way he will play again this year? Moreno shows he will be out 4-8 weeks and the league I'm in has no IR slot so the only option would be to drop him and see what I can pick up on waivers. As far as the alex Smith question Kirk Cousins is available my 1st string QB is Aaron Rodgers but after his performance against the Lions I'm not sure how his season is gonna play out. Any help or information is appreciated. __________________ I was sane once, it was a fleeting thing and thankfully passed quickly.Life is all one big joke. Death is just the ultimate punchline.

Depending on what RBs are available, I would strongly consider just dumping Adrian Peterson right now. I'm pretty sure most people in money league would say I'm crazy right now, but the bottom line is even if he doesn't get hammered by the legal system, he absolutely will get hammered by the league. There's no doubt in my mind about it. I would absolutely get Cousins. RG3 is pretty much down for a long stretch, and I personally think Cousins has been the better QB the last 2 years (because of health last year and sketchy play this year). If Cousins continues to keep his mistakes down, I think Jay Gruden will keep playing him for (at least) the rest of this year (or until he implodes) over RG3. The harder question would be who to drop to get Cousins. I feel like Alex Smith is more consistent, and both of them will face the same difficulty as far as secondaries (defense) for the rest of the year.
