That lineup that Hostile Squirrels deployed would have pulled in 207.68 pts. I didn't add up the salary cap values tho - not sure if it would have been a true lineup. It would have been good for 6th out of 34,479 in the Thurs Dive I played, pulling in $400. With E. Sanders in the lineup, it would have had to be used in Thursday start games only.
*Edit - looks like it would have been about 2K over budget. Awesome lineup none the less.

Kinda funny that his optimal lineup would have been to start both of the Chiefs' RB's.
Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.
Never gave much thought to Fanduel. Is it worth it?
Not that I should try now. There's no way I'll recreate that bit of luck...errr...genius.

It's definitely a strategy game, not just normal FF. To cash in on the big games you have to be in the top 10% or so of 40K+ people (that will get you a couple bucks - big money is top couple %). You have to take risks and hope a little used guy goes off. I have switched to the 50/50's this season - Top 50% all make 1.80 for each 1.00 played.
I've been reading a lot about it and the similarities to the stock market - lots of former traders have algorithms and computer models they use to consistently make profits in the long term. I'm still trying to get my bankroll management perfected - I'm playing with small money now and typically risking it all each week. Smart play is to get a decent bankroll and play 10-20% each week so you don't lose it all on an off week, which is easy to do with a major injury or two.
If anyone else is playing daily fantasy hit me up. I'd love to toss ideas off each other and really get good at this as a long term investment type game.
Second time this year ive lost by less than 3 points lol
I keep losing but have maintained 2nd place
did the Acerbic Wittens stage an all-but-Witten walk out?
Yeah. It's a bye week so I figured they needed their rest.
The site going down was a just a conspiracy to hide the fact that...
Congrats to Twizzler Smack for winning the 2014 Planet Steelers Fantasy Football League. Twizzler Smack was the runaway leader in the regular season with an 11-2 record, finishing with 3 more wins than any other player, and also posting the most total points scored. Twizzler Smack, wanting to provide some drama and hope for others, looked for a time like he might mirror his quarterback and tank when it mattered most. That quarterback, of course, is Peyton Manninng - great in the regular season and a schmuck in the playoffs (Who ever said fantasy football isn't real? This was exactly the way it happens in real life.) Twizzler Smack tip-toed into the finals with a bye and a lucky win in the semifinals to mask the terrible late season performances by Peyton Manning. He made up for it in the finals by posting the highest score of the week to leave no doubt about who deserved to win -with little to no help from Manning, of course.
Please join me in congratulating D Rock on his win!
