DFS: Week 16, 2020

by Tony | Dec 26, 2020 | 2020 season, Daily Fantasy, Fantasy Football

Don’t call it a comeback…because its4’s not there yet, but Week 15 marked the first back to back wins by Tony this season, driven by contributions from Darrell Mooney & Greg Ward in the Flex & WR/TE spots–not to mention Calvin Ridley’s big day. If he can finish the season with two more wins…he won’t get back to even, but will at least make it respectable.

This week … Sunday games … because Fanball doesn’t think it’s important to have a full week slate of games to pick from as an option. Which is why next year, if we do this again, we’ll find another site to do it on.

Andy: Last week I liked my lineup. A lot of good that did me. This week … well, a couple of the guys I wanted to pick weren’t available because Fanball didn’t have the slate of games we were hoping to use. And, with the holidays, I kind of just slapped this together. So, who knows.

QB – Patrick Mahomes vs ATL – $8,600 – I get the most prolific QB in the game at home against one of the worst pass defenses in the league. I suppose the Chiefs could get up early and then run clock, but if they get a lead early, Mahomes is probably a bit part of why.

DFS: Week 14, 2020

In what is the final week of “real” fantasy football, Tony put together a lineup that scored over 20 points over his season average…and still lost. By over 30. Never hurts when you have a Derek Carr/Darren Waller stack on a 13-200-2 day for Waller.

Andy: It was a little harder this week to find the combo I really liked. Not sure I did, truth be told. I don’t have a ton of confidence in this slate.

DFS: Week 12, 2020

Another week, another loss for Tony, who once again forgot to take someone who was ruled out of his lineup out, and at this point is just hoping to not end the season with a balance on Fanball, because he’d like to never use them again.  Not because of his performance this year, which has been dismal, but because of weeks like this where they refused to offer a slate of lineups that used all 16 games–while featuring slates like Thursday night (now Tuesday) only lineups, and Monday Night/Tuesday night lineups.

So we skipped the Thanksgiving games–which ended up with a couple of solid games from guys who have been in our lineups a few times, like Antonio Gibson, and here we are.

DFS: Week 11, 2020

by Tony | Nov 20, 2020 | 2020 season, Daily Fantasy, Fantasy Football

Another week, and right back on track for Andy, with a 121.1-91.58 victory. Doesn’t help when Tony forgets that he started a guy that was ruled out.

Andy: Normally I’m not really one to play a Thursday night stack, but the match-up this week is too good. Well, it looked good on paper anyway. We’ll see if that holds true. (more…)

DFS: Week 9, 2020

by Tony | Nov 5, 2020 | 2020 season, Daily Fantasy, Fantasy Football

Andy wins. Partly because he is good at this. Probably moreso because Tony is bad. Either way, barring a miracle, it’s a lost season for Tony.
