Post your question NFL Week 8 or NBA questions here in the thread and if your question gets selected to use for the show, you WIN SWAG!
(Please ask a thought provoking question…These questions should not be of the start or sit variety)
How much does correlation factor into your lineup building process in GPPs?
How do you approach your player exposures between sites? For instance, if there is a player that has a soft price on FD and a high price on DK, would you lock him in on FD and completely fade him on DK?

I’ve heard some experts say that you should always enter your cash lineup into GPPs in case it “goes off.” My question: What percentage of what you spend on these cash games would you spend on the GPPs? For example, if you enter your cash lineup into $100’s worth of cash games, would you put that same lineup into $1’s worth of GPPs? $5? $10? etc.
Hope that makes sense…
What is the best way to make my own Projections and is the process the same or different for each sport ?
When looking at the defense vs position tool and DVOA, I find them to be different at times. Which one do you consider to be more reliable or usable?

EDIT: I hate my old question, and given the recent news about DK/FD I am much more interested in your opinion pertaining to my new one. With that said, what are your initial thoughts when hearing about a potential DK/FD merger? Do you feel like a merger benefits anyone? Do you think the potential impact (most of which seems negative) is being overblown?
It seems that most sharp players prefer Draft Kings. Is this because full PPR allows for less variance over the importance of TDs on Fanduel?
Are fading chalk plays overrated in GPP tournaments?
Thoughts on the fanduel draftkings merger rumours? And what do think happens if the merger happens ?

In a week like this, with a great value play at running back (Booker especially on Draftkings). Should we just plug him in gpp lineups and forget it. Or is it still wise to fade what may be a 50% owned player even though he may get all the work. Thanks!

Do you put a higher % of your bankroll in play during NFL or NBA during this time period where NBA & NFL collide?
Now that DK removed late swap with NBA, how does that change the way you make lineups? (IE. the late Dirk sitting news)
When your registering for you NFL head-to-heads do you have a certain time of the week you buy-in. i.e. is there more casual players signing up sunday morning? less informed players earlier in week?

in a week like this where there will be a lot of cash lineup overlap, especially on FD, should you play less cash games because of the rake and play more GPP?

What are your thoughts on Multi-sport survivor contests like DK is running this week and do you think sites should run more of these contests?
Why not use same cash lineups for gpp as cash lineup has higher floor so guaranties a cash in gpp
When playing on any sites is it a good strategy to always leave a player in the Sunday night game (i.e. Sunday night hammer) or just play the best players no matter when they play
Do you think sites using the “highly experienced player” designation helps or hurts top players? On the one hand, top players can now game select h2h against fish. On the other hand, fish can do the exact same thing if they want.
For this week, Davin Johnson, Davonte Booker, Spencer Ware and Davaonte Freeman seem to be the 4 RB’s to choose from in cash. Compare them to 80’s sitcoms and explain why each should be included in my TV viewing schedule Sunday.
Please discuss when/how a DFS player knows when its time to go pro and/or play DFS professionally for a living, discuss the do’s and don’ts, the pros and cons of the lifestyle.
How off the board is a Duke Johnson play? Booker/Duke opens up a ton in GPP formats.
Is a good strategy as a gpp player to start the line up building process with a team of all chalk and then find places to pivot off of that team?
I finally have some free time to try and learn more about different tools used to evaluate games? Where do you suggest starting? I’m trying to expand from playing with friends and an occasional tournament.
