If your balls are that big, seek medical attention.

Goff against Colts is the spicy little play I'm eyeing off to replace Winston for week 1.

It's my big balls play of the week haha Plenty of dump offs to Hyde and Garçon on the intermediates avoiding the deep bombs and interception chances. I think he can go 280 2 TDs zero bits against the panthers

Cousins is a year long play at QB mate against a suspect Philly pass D, they have added Darby who is a decent CB but I'd be happy starting Cousins against most Ds

Thanks mate. It's just the first year in my work league that I've missed out on Rodgers so feel a bit weird not owning him. But I remember watching a Redskins/Green Bay game late last year and was impressed wih both Cousins and Reed.

I sent you a PM mate, if you get time, no biggie.

Get on Draftstars not sportsdeck. Has a 5k rd1 comp ($15 entry) has a 20k monday(Aus time/US Sunday) comp ($15 entry) a Friday free qualifier where top 50 get free entry to $20k comp. Has a freeroll $50 comp and other games from $2.

Ill have a look at my full round team tonight at work and may post up one line-up or ask for some help from the non players around.

I might get into draftstars this year, you seem to be pretty successful with it mate, might just lean on your sides for a bit haha!

on the NFL.com site the perfect challenge I have gone for

Ryan
Johnson
Gurley
Jones
Bryant
Gronk
Bailey
Texans

Sorry guys in a bit of a rush these days. Did anyone set up a private league for the Sportsdeck comp?

Cheers!

Oh and to save me looking, anyone know off hand if draftstars is open to Kiwis? Sports deck daily doesn't seem to be.

I think it is but not 100%. You can jump on their facebook page and message them they are pretty good at getting back to you.

Haha i am going well at NRL DFS the NFL may be a different story. You get bigger prize money on the NFL then NRL though. Just dip your toe in the minis or freerolls. And remember its a PPR scoring system, so pass catching backs are gold. (doesnt mean Bell and DJ will always provide value at their salaries but guys like McCaffery/Woodhead can do well

Draftstars and Moneyball have good chat features too which is great while watching games alone haha

signed up with draftkings as it allows uk entries

my first foray into paying for draft games

Eli
Johnson
Gurley
Jones
Bryant
Richardson
Ertz
Zay Jones
Falcons

Threw my team together for Sportsdeck


Strategy is pretty obvious. Stack up all other positions except RB which is filed with rookies/cheapies with guarenteed roles. After they make some bulk cash upgrade to the guns

Nice. Can you throw up the positions the need for a lineup and the scoring they use? Will make it easier to discuss players if there are slight differences

I like P Richardson as a smokie against last seasons worst pass defence, they will key in on Baldwin and I hope Richardson can get some slot play and bad a TD
Ertz has 2 good outings against the Redskins
Zay jones as a cheap play against the JETS
Eli does well against the Boys'

those were my questionable picks, rest are pretty self explanitory

The bonus points are the major difference in scoring and the position in Draftstars are QB RB RB WR WR TE FLX FLX DEF

It's @StuDogg101 who has current ownership on Beasts team mate! I'm sure he will sort in plenty of time

Thanks for the reminder! I'm onto it though, no worries there

Just realised its PPR As well so entered another

Bradford
Bell
Cook
KAllen
SDiggs
KWright
Witten
Hyde
Steelers

My head says play Carr - it's the Titans.
My gut says play Brees, even at the Vikings.

Discuss

That Vikes secondary is nasty and I doubt it turns into a shootout

Carr against the Titans I would go

Also have Dalvin Cook & Houston D

That's my first DS team this week, very little daily fantasy research done at this stage. Have Ellington as my biggest risk but the Texans do have a couple of WR out week 1. Think I'll change TE as I don't want 2 Texan pass catchers
