Joe 2 Pro: Week 1 Cash Game Strategy

Tim Talmadge
September 5, 2018

First – throughout the season I post my bankroll at the beginning of every article so you can view my weekly progress. This year, my starting bankroll will be $1,000 on DraftKings and $1,000 on FanDuel. I do this as a way to show how your bankroll can go through some valleys and peaks throughout the season. Experienced players aren’t winning 100 percent of the time. We face losing weeks like everyone else. The important thing is to be profitable at the end of Week 17. You need to look at this as a marathon and not a sprint.

Second – this article is simple. I primarily run down my entire cash game thought process for the week. I won’t list plays for the sake of listing them. If I know early in the week who I am starting at QB, he’s the only guy I’ll mention.

Tim Talmadge July 23, 2021

Last week, Shawn Siegele and friend of RotoViz Sal Stefanile co-drafted and live-streamed an FPPC best ball slim draft. You can watch the replay here. I hopped in for a little fun and while it didn’t go fully to plan, I ended up with a squad Shawn labeled “a pure RotoViz branded team.” It’s absolutely true because the strategy was mostly formed by our best…...

Could 2021’s Nyheim Hines Come From The Rams Backfield?

Tim Talmadge July 22, 2021

In 2021, Nyheim Hines had an ADP outside the top 150. His team had just drafted one of the best college running backs in history, and drafters were wary that he might lose the pass-catching role he’d come to enjoy. Furthermore, it looked like he was the third running back on the team’s depth chart, behind the rookie Jonathan Taylor and the incumbent Marlon Mack. But…...

Tim Talmadge June 28, 2021

Christian McCaffrey, Dalvin Cook, Alvin Kamara and Jonathan Taylor were the first four selections, and I was staring at a few running backs with red flags. Saquon Barkley, who is recovering from a torn ACL and Derrick Henry, facing inevitable regression and an offensive shake up.((New play caller,…...
