Happy Halloween everybody and welcome to a brand new week of the Rise & Grind, your go-to article for all the fantasy goodness of not only yesterday but today too!
Today we will show you the new and improved RotoGrinders Lineup Builder, which features brand new features and cool tweaks to further your chances of hitting it big tonight!
Then, we’ll introduce the BIG winner of the Millionaire Maker on DraftKings (he might look familiar) and other winners of Sunday night in both NBA and NFL.
Finally, the GrindersLive schedule will be displayed so you’ll know when and where you are gonna have to be, in order to find out who to play tonight.
Enough of the introduction, let’s get down to business.
New Updates To The RotoGrinders LineupBuilder
Is anyone else obsessed with the new look lineup builder on RotoGrinders? We can’t get enough of it. You mean you haven’t seen it yet? Man, it is pretty sick.
Here are some of the new features:
Just in time for the start of NBA season we have added an editable projected minutes column for NBA! When you edit the minutes, it will automatically update the projected points for you as well. Just like projected points, projected minutes is available for all users for FanDuel and DraftKings and premium subscribers for others sites. We have also added the ability to bring in projections from expert models that you subscribe to in the DailyMarketplace and soon you’ll be able to import in projected minutes from DailyMarketplace packages such as Seige’s Tournament Tactics.
You might also have noticed that we’ve freshened up the Lineup Builder interface. We moved settings and filters into the player pool sidebar for easier access, added Vegas data columns, and totally revamped the generated lineups section. Check out the updates, let us know what you think, and keep an eye out for even more features coming soon!
If you have any questions or concerned regarding the lineup builder post them HERE!
Sunday’s BIG Winners
Last night we witnessed something that you probably never have seen before. Last night on GrindersLive, our very own Eric Crain aka Jakz101 won the DraftKings NFL $4.1M FANTASY FOOTBALL MILLIONAIRE LIVE on Sunday Night Sweats with Joey Ingram. Jakz101 was sweating not just first place, but second and third. etc. as well. The only person he had to fade was Dallas Cowboys stud running back Ezekiel Elliott against the prominent Philadelphia Eagles defense and it was a nail-biter.
When things couldn’t get any sweatier, the second to worst possible thing happened…overtime. That’s when the nail-biting ensued. As each team drove down the field to try to overtake the other, Jakz101 grew quieter and well…sweaty.
At one point I thought his face was gonna stay like this:
Finally, Dallas drove down the field in the most unprecedented way, with barely any Elliott, and won the game with a touchdown pass from Dak Prescott to Jason Witten.
That is when the celebrating began. Jakz101 was able to shake off the second place winner CongoSong to not only nab the milly but some more duckets, as he placed third and fourth as well.
CONGRATULATIONS to both Jakz101 and his wife Rachel for this amazing victory and thanks for sharing it with us.

GrindersLive Schedule: NBA & NFL
With the first week of NBA in the wraps, we all are slowly shedding the rust from the offseason and getting into mid-season form when it comes to NBA DFS. For those of you who are having trouble with getting the rust off, let us show you the WD-40…GrindersLive. There are two NBA shows today for this confusing four-game slate, which means you will be more than ready with your cash & GPP lines once they come to an end.
Sandwiched between both of those NBA shows is two NFL ones to prepare you for tonight’s Monday Night Football matchup between the Minnesota Vikings vs the Chicago Bears as well as recap all of Sunday’s action, with a sneak peek of Week 9’s matchups.
So, grab a purple crayon and your sister’s journal so you don’t forget one elite play coming from these experts.
Check out the layout for today:
