FanDuel Week 7 Results and Value Picks for Week 8

Hey there.  Week 7 is in the books and another exciting NFL week has come and gone.  I offered a few value picks for FanDuel last week to help your lineups and not all of them panned out as I had hoped.  Specifically, Malcolm Floyd.  The Raiders defense did pretty well against Philip Rivers and the Chargers passing game and Floyd only managed to get 1 pass for 7 yards, netting a grand total of 1.2 points. Keenan Allen did play and he did see several looks that would have gone to Floyd.  Not even during garbage time was Floyd able to get going.  My bad for recommending him!!!  I was soooo wrong about this one.  Another bust was Travis Benjamin.  He managed only had 4 catches for 47 yards and he lost a fumble.  That was good for only 4.7 points.  Way under the 18 points that I projected.  Stefon Diggs did pretty well for himself, netting a great 20.7 points, exceeding my 18 point projection.  At a low price point, you might want to think of adding him again this week.  And lastly, John Brown came up with a good 14.5 points.  He only had 4 catches but at least he came up with a touchdown.  Anyways... after placing my team and entering the $2 single entry tourney, I came up a winner!  The losing streak ends at 2 losses in a row and new winning streak begins (hopefully!!!)!  I needed 140.54 points was good enough for a $4 win.  So far this season I'm 3 and 4.  I've put in $9 and I've won $13.  Here is my line up for week 7:

FanDuel Week 6 Results and Value Picks for Week 7

Hey there.  Week 6 is in the books and another exciting NFL week has come and gone.  I offered a few value picks for FanDuel last week to help your lineups and not all of them panned out as I had hoped.  Specifically, Danny Woodhead.  Woodhead was on pace to hit my predicted score (15 points) but what should have been a TD pass was knocked away at the last second.  Woodhead ended up with 9.6 points, well under the 15 I hoped.  James Jones was the other player that didn't work out.  I had him for at least 14 points and he ended up with only 10.  Jones only had 2 catches for 30 yards, but one of them was a TD catch.  Both Gary Barnidge and Allen Robinson exceeded my point prediction so I hope you guys ended up putting them on your team.  Anyways... after placing my team and entering the $2 single entry tourney, I came up a loser.  The losing streak continues at 2 losses in a row!  I needed 145.20 points to come up a winner and I ended up with 135.66.  I missed out by less than 10 points!!!  So far this season I'm 2 and 4.  I've put in $7 and I've won $9.  Here is my line up for week 6:

FanDuel Week 5 Results and Value Picks for Week 6

Hey there.  Week 5 is in the books and another exciting NFL week has come and gone.  I offered a few value picks for FanDuel last week to help your lineups and not all of them panned out.  Specifically, the Giants D.  I had them pegged for a cool 14 points and they ended up only getting 2.  Colin Kaepernick decided to show up and play and the Giants just couldn't pressure him into bad throws.  The others did faitly well, though.  James Jones 14.7 points (I predicted 18) on only 2 catches, Todd Gurley didn't find the end zone, but netted 15.9 points (I predicted 16) and Allen Hurns came up big with 20.1 points.  Anyways... after placing my team and entering the $1 single entry tourney, I came up a loser.  The streak ended at 2 wins in a row but man, was I ever so close!  I needed 142.30 points to come up a winner and I ended up with 141.60.  I missed out by less than a point!!!  So far this season I'm 2 and 3.  I've put in $5 and I've won $9.  Here is my oh so close line up for week 5:

FanDuel Week 4 Results and Value Picks for Week 5

Hey there.  Week 4 is in the books and another exciting, unpredictable, and controversial NFL weekend has come and gone.  I offered a few value picks for FanDuel last week to help your lineups and not all of them panned out.  The Raider D wasn't as strong as I hoped since Jay Cutler ended up starting for the Bears, Ryan Matthews didn't get going since DeMarco Murray ended up starting, and even James Jones didn't produce as well as I hoped against that weak 49ers defense.   Well... at least Karlos Williams came up with a pretty good game.  Anyways... after placing my team and entering the $1 single entry tourney, I came up a winner.  So far this season I'm 2 for 2.  Didn't win crap in Week 1 and 2 but came up on some cash in Week 3 and 4.  I've put in $4 and I've won $9.  Here's my winning lineup for week 4:
