After a brief moment in the sun, I went right back to losing in Week 5. Here’s the rundown. Bankroll Progress Started With: $1000 Current Total: $906 Through five weeks of the season, I have managed to lose just under 10 percent of my initial bankroll. This is where sound bankroll management can pay off, because I have not played particularly well, but I haven’t really lost that…...

We’ve witnessed five full weeks of NFL football. That’s roughly a third of the fantasy season. That means we finally have a decent amount of information about players and, more importantly, our rosters. It should be a lot more obvious now what your holes are, what moves you should make, and who may actually be good or bad. Week 6 is when you really need…...

It was a great week last week for streaming quarterbacks as scoring at the position was all over the place. The top 12 scoring QBs last week were not exactly an elite who’s who: Philip Rivers, Sam Bradford, Drew Brees, Josh McCown, Kirk Cousins, Eli Manning, Nick Foles, Blake Bortles, Alex Smith, Jay Cutler, Brian Hoyer, and Andy Dalton. Let’s see how my recommendations stacked up. Week 4…...

I’m starting to get into a rhythm now on FanDuel. This was my best week so far! Let’s see just how good it was. Bankroll Progress Started With: $1000 Current Total: $946.80 I actually made a slight error and played three dollars more in cash games then I was supposed to this week, but it ended up not costing me. It would behoove me to be a…...

Week 3 of the NFL was explosive, electric, and exciting. Many players scored touchdowns – multiple TDs at that – and fantasy scores were high across the industry. Week 4 more than made up for that. It was a low-scoring slugfest that saw a lot of nobodies perform, and a lot of somebodies leave much to be desired…....

If there is one thing I have learned over the last few weeks it’s this: streaming quarterbacks in a competitive league is really freaking hard. No matter how many top end QBs struggle, I have had plenty of difficulty choosing the best guy off the wire to put up points. Let’s go over the results, and see if I can pick better QB streamers in Week…...

It took three weeks, but I finally made a profit at FanDuel! Any win truly feels good, as you’ll see below. Let’s recap how I did. Bankroll Progress Started With: $1000 Current Total: $917 Hey profit is profit right? This was actually shaping up to be an incredibly profitable week, but I lost about 100 dollars between the two night games that were played. Let’s…...

Fantasy football is a funny game. There are generally two things that will determine if a player is successful in fantasy: talent and opportunity. The latter is fairly easy to evaluate. Does a certain running back receive carries? Is wide receiver x targeted frequently in the passing game? It is the former that is tricky, and can usually get us into trouble. Take a look…...

It was another strong week to stream quarterbacks, as a glutton of top-end QBs failed to produce. Peyton Manning, Andrew Luck, Eli Manning, Matt Ryan, and Drew Brees all failed to finish inside the top 12 of the position in Week 2. How did my QB streamers stack up? Let’s recap the week that was, and make some fresh picks! Week 2 Recap Streamer of the Week: 10.1 FP…...

Week 2 of my FanDuel odyssey went a lot better than Week 1. That is to say, I didn’t lose most of what I played. Just how good was it? Let’s take a look. Bankroll Progress Started With: $1000 Current Total: $912.40 I can’t really complain about the results this week. Breaking even feels just as good as winning after losing most of what I put into…...

Every week there is going to be something that happens in the NFL that causes you to re-evaluate your line of thinking for fantasy. Is the random backup running back that vultures two touchdowns actually viable? Why did the slot receiver get 12 targets this week? And my personal favorite: Is team x actually as good or bad as they looked on Sunday? All of…...

It was a great week for streaming quarterbacks! Andrew Luck and Drew Brees finished as fringe top 12 options, while Peyton Manning and Russell Wilson failed to qualify as QB1s. Time to find out how I did last week, and recommend some more plays for Week 2! Week 1 Recap I will evaluate my results using FanDuel QB scoring. Here’s how I did last week. Streamer of the Week: 16.2 FP…...

It was a tumultuous Week 1 of NFL football, and a lot of things went awry for fantasy owners. Last week, I introduced you to my process on FanDuel, and set the stage for the coming season. Every week going forward, I’ll update you on my progress, and go over some things that went right, wrong, and that I’ll change. Bankroll Progress It was not…...

When playing the stock market, it can be extremely difficult to make an early move on a particular investment. After all, with little information about it, whose to say that said investment will continue to trend in its current direction, good or bad, or reverse field in the coming days or weeks or even months? The infinite timeline of the stock market can make “buy…...

Welcome to the first installment of Diary of a DFS Novice. If you can’t guess based on the title, I’m going to take my daily fantasy play to another level this season, but have not had a ton of previous experience. I’m talking less than 50 dollars total of previous experience in NFL DFS. This will be just one of two ongoing diaries we will have…...

I love waiting on quarterback. While there are definitely some strong arguments for taking a QB early, it has just never suited my drafting style. It is really important, though, to not just go into waiting on your QB without preparation. It will probably take more work, more paying attention to schedules, more mixing and matching of options. After all, you aren’t just looking to…...

If you have been following my work at all this summer, you know that I am a huge proponent of late round quarterback selection. One reason is that I think the position is incredibly deep, which allows for streaming in leagues that start only one QB. As such, I wanted to provide options for fantasy owners each week that they can stream into their lineups. Methodology…...

When the Jordy Nelson injury occurred, there were many different reactions to it. In fact, we have already produced plenty of reactionary pieces to that effect. The most interesting item still up in the air is the battle for the number three WR in the Packers offense. And while many an analytics expert raves about second year player Jeff Janis, I think that rookie Ty Montgomery also has a great…...

I don’t like to make too many conclusions from NFL pre-season.[1]Which tells you that I will be drawing some kind of conclusion from a pre-season game. In general, player performance is difficult to judge. Usage is spread out, statistics lose meaning, and the things we see with our eyes generally deceive us. However, after watching Chris Ivory stay on the field during some passing downs, run…...
