Rise & Grind -- Week 2 NFL
Happiest of Mondays RotoGrinders and welcome to the 2016 Rise & Grind. With another tilting Sunday behind us, let’s see what went down in the world of DFS in Week 2 of the National Football League.
Sunday’s Big Winners
With the second week of this young season just about over, let’s see who walked away a millionaire on DraftKings after Sunday Night Football came to a close.
With a crazy sweat in the 4th quarter of the Minnesota Vikings vs. Green Bay Packers game Al_Smizzle ran away with it after some help from his late night hammer Stefon Diggs. His touchdown along with 182 receiving yards totaling in 36.2 DraftKings points propelled him to a two point victory over Ncarr3128 in the NFL $5M Fantasy Football Millionaire Maker on DraftKings.
For all of the weekend’s big winners, check out the Daily Fantasy Tournament Links thread and our DFS Tournament Report by thehazyone.
