Good to see Djax may not be that high owned… if he can last a couple quarters he’ll hit value at least

Think my favorite mid-priced WR is Edelman though. Igbinoghene in his first NFL game should be easy to pick on

Last I saw, DJax was projected for top-3 WR ownership. He’s confirmed chalky.

If you want to pick on a CB starting his first NFL game, you probably don’t have to look past Allen Robinson.

That entire Eagles and Football Team game is highly owned at basically every position. That and the Hawks/Falcons game are the chalk game stacks. Embrace or avoid with caution

Ah that makes sense, seems pretty obvious.

I do think targeting rookies is a good strategy considering the COVID offseason. DJ Moore vs. Arnette is another one

I think he will be matched up with Desmond Trufant

I think the Vikings and Raiders have the least experienced secondaries so Lazard or Anderson could be a pivot to Jackson at the same price range

Yeah, that’d be the other option. Trufant’s in a new system that he’s barely had time to learn and he’s been beatable for a while now. I’ll be betting on Robinson.

As for Robby Anderson and Allen Lazard, I struggle to imagine owning any. WR/CB matchups almost never matter, especially in large-field GPPs. I didn’t want to play Robby or Lazard in the first place, so replacement-level matchups aren’t enough to put me on them.

For $100-200 more than DJax you can get to Marquise Brown, Anthony Miller, or Christian Kirk. Henry Ruggs III too, if you’re trying to be early on him. That’s where I’d try to go if I was aiming to pivot.

Working against JJAW is that unlike DJax, he’s a shitty football player. That should be considered.

I thought you actually watched football?

Hell no.

I mean I watch when the games are live, sure. That’s a grand old time, #CantWait! But I’m #NotAScout and not a member of #TeamWatchTheTape. I’m not good at watching football, so that’s a job for somebody else.

Any specific contests getting anyone’s attention? I really like that $9 slant. The $40 combine and the $75 goalline will get an entry from me also.

What’s going on guys!

How’s everyone doing?

Work league time! We were wondering about you like 5 pages back. Welcome back!

So my work league is officially done. I actually got a new job back in January, but I reached out the folks at my old job and they aren’t doing the fanduel league anymore. So now I am not sure if I want to actually continue playing on fanduel and daily fantasy in general. I feel like joining real contests like the ones you guys do is hard to ever win a lot of $ and I’m not sure where to even start. Before all I was worried about was my work league lineup that had like 15-20 people in it. But if I ever want to win anything big in the real world I feel like I would need to join the big contests and I’m not exactly sure how to approach them. Like how many lineups to submit and how to do all of that lol. Also I am sure it will be a lot of $ for entry fees as well as opposed to my $5 work league entry. Not entirely sure yet but I’m leaning towards just hanging it up and calling it. The chances of me ever winning thousands from a contest probably is highly unlikely. You guys have so much knowledge and it still difficult for you to win those! And I’m not sure where to even start!

Jump in a $10 DK best ball league. It’s right up your alley.

Absolutely love this foresight. I think this season will be the best ever to take advantage of recency bias.

There going to be a lot of players employing this strategy this season, I’m going to wait until the 2021 before I start doing it.

*Except when there is massive overlay in qualifier contests to the point where it’s nearly arbitrage, which has happened on occasion
in the NBA playoffs

I can’t understand this because didn’t we see Mitch literally do it twice in one year on DK? Like, we literally saw him do it. We know Mitchell can do it!

Deeeeee boooooo. My man

I like Burrow a lot too. My issue is, like CG was saying in his Haskins leverage example, I think a lot of people will own Burrow like they will own Brady, and thus there will be little leverage to be had. What do you think Bif? I think the only way to get creative is to include John Ross.

Hell don’t quit. I think you can do well in cash games. We had you in that Cash game mindset for your work league. Do the double ups 50/50, couple of h2h’s. Build a little bank roll and they try some single entry gpps. You can’t quit tho.

I’m doing my first season long draft in years tonight. I’m drafting for my buddy who’s on vacation. He got pick #1. Thinking about Uncle Lenny there and JJ Arsegga late. 🥴
