DFS Tournament Report: NFL Week 9

It was an exciting Monday Night Football sweat that saw the lead change in numerous GPPs and the leader in the Milly Maker holding on to win by just .1 points. Talk about being on the edge of your seat! Here’s a review of how the night played out…

DraftKings $6M Millionaire Maker ($20 entry)

Herdcrazy214 with Jeremy Langford on his roster would make things interesting. Very interesting. He pulled to within .1 points of the beginning of the night leader skeener917 and with San Diego getting close to FG range it looked like the game might go into overtime which would have been great for Herdcrazy214 and not so great for skeener917. The Bears defense stepped up though and skeener917 held on for the win. The rest of the top five all benefited from players in the Monday night game showing that you can never count your money until the final game ends for the week.

Final Standings:

1. skeener917 271.14, $1,000,000
2. Herdcrazy214 271.04, $500,000
3. primalforce 268.46, $250,000
4. jayblaze39 267.94, $150,000
5. smitty42 266.84, $100,000

DraftKings $1.25M Play-Action ($3 entry)

Jeremy Langford would be the hero of the day for hbravo84 as he started the night 15 points out of first place but thanks to Langford’s excellent night would end up winning by a wide margin of nearly 9 points. It was another GPP dominated by Monday Night risers as none of the top five heading into the night would finish in the top five.

Final Standings:

1. hbravo84 276.66, $100,000
2. jayblaze39 267.94, $50,000
3. patalt 267.64, $30,000

DraftKings $1M Kickoff Million ($3 entry)

It was quite the night for jayblaze39 as the lineup he finished 4th in the Milly Maker, 2nd in the Play-Action and used that same lineup to take down the Kickoff Million.

He, like most others tonight, had Langford but also had Alshon Jeffery who also put up a big game despite not finding the end zone.
