DFS Tournament Report: Week 3
It’s good times for the RotoGrinders family. After Al Zeidenfeld took down a million last week, this week it was RG member greenaroo with the big score as he won $100K for this first place finish in the FanDuel $1M Sling TV Rush. He then took to the RG forums shortly after his win…
It was a high-scoring, action-packed day so let’s recap all the big GPPs, standings, and winning lineups.
FanDuel $1M Sling TV Rush ($100K to 1st)
greenaroo won by the slimmest of margins (1 point over runner-up memphicide) by starting with an Aaron Rodgers-Jordy Nelson stack. He had great outings from a low-owned (3.5%) LeSean McCoy and DeMarco Murray and a surprising performance from Jimmy Graham. However, it was the Chiefs DST and a last minute TD from T.Y. Hilton that pushed him to the top of the standings.
FanDuel $2M Sunday Million ($200K to 1st)
Talk about close. Jmigs needed 8 points from Dan Bailey heading into the Sunday Night game to take over the top spot. He would get that exact number to edge out rvklim27 by just 0.1 points. The two had similar lineups but it was jmigs’s decision to stack Jordy Nelson with Aaron Rodgers that would be the ultimate difference maker.
FanDuel $600K Monster ($100K to 1st)
The_big_lombardi utilized a Dolphins stack of Ryan Tannehill-Jarvis Landry-DST as his core but it was big days from the likes of Marvin Jones, Nelson, Graham, Murray, and PK Justin Tucker that would complete his $100K winning lineup.
DraftKings NFL $4.4M Fantasy Football Millionaire [$1M to 1st]
You couldn’t ask for a more exciting finish to the Fantasy Football Millionaire as the final seven of this contest would end up within three points of one another. papagates would need a big night from Zach Miller to move into a tie for first place with cmo_22wesley and was unable to get another catch from Miller to take sole possession of the lead. He would also have to fight off two players behind him, one of whom had Jason Witten and another that had Ezekiel Elliott. Neither could do anything in the waning moments and papagates and cmo_22wesley would have to settle for $600,000 apiece.
DraftKings NFL $1.25M Play-Action
papagates would be a contender in this event as well but it was xinliye that would emerge victorious by 1 point with a Matthew Stafford, Theo Riddick, Marvin Jones Lions stack coupled with big days from Emmanuel Sanders, T.Y. Hilton, and the Chiefs DST.
DraftKings NFL $1.25M Wildcat Special
Papagates would cap off a huge day by taking down this contest with the same lineup that garnered him a first place tie in the Football Millionaire.
