![]() ![]() These 12 players all signed a deal worth $100 million or more. The 2022 offseason was no exception, with numerous big contracts being handed out left and right. And every season, these players are put under the microscope as fans and pundits alike try to determine how worth it they are. Team 2 - 121.Each NFL offseason, star players across the league sign massive contracts and reset the market to get what they're worth. Team 2 - 180.54 points - Won 95 percent Week 12: I believe my problem is that I can talk myself into 15 core players and I need to work on finding ways to carve that core down. If you just can’t find that group, maybe split up a couple teams. if you have 4-5 players that you are going to have on every team you build, just go with one team and try for the bigger payday. I think you get the picture.Ī lot depends on how good you feel about a core group of players. Of course, if I’d gone the other way, I would have had a worse day. If I had played only my Rodgers/Adams team, I would have come close to sweeping my head-to-head matchups. This is a question a lot of DFS players ask themselves and one that probably doesn’t have a good answer. Yes, going with two teams is my way of mitigating bad losses, but at the same time it hurts possible gains. My biggest mistake may have been too much diversity between my two teams. It’s better to be cheap and sloppy than the opposite. The Akins play was sloppy, but at least he was a punt play at his rock bottom price. I believe I’ve been torched by the Bears defense more than any other D/ST in DFS, and that’s on me. The Seahawks did fine while the Bears were torched by Matthew Stafford. I had way too many defenses that I liked this week and ended up going with the Seahawks and Bears. But, Akins was likely the wrong process pick. And, I also projected the Titans to win and run instead of get swamped and pass. Anthony Firkser was the chalk play at the same price, but I just didn’t feel good about the Titans tight end usage of late. Jordan Akins was the one play where I went out on a limb and quickly broke that limb and fell hard to the ground. Robert Tonyan didn’t go off, but he ended up scoring a touchdown, which made him a great pick in my book. Someday I’ll get tight ends right, but today wasn’t that day. In the end, paying up for the second-tier backs wasn’t the optimal play this week, but in hindsight there’s not a lot to learn from that. ![]() Myles Gaskin and David Montgomery were the two value running backs I liked the most and they helped me build my best lineup with Adams. Unfortunately, I took that same thought process and went to Jordan Akins as well. ![]() Knowing that a great quarterback like DeShaun Watson would be without Will Fuller and Randall Cobb to throw to had me land on Coutee and stick with him. Value playsĬoutee was the value play I went all in on and that turned out to be my best per dollar play of the day. He’s pretty much a free space in the lineup and if you can make him fit, he’s going to help you. But, we all know his upside along with his high floor as Rodgers top target. Ultimately, the biggest pay up was for Adams and $9,000 is quite the chunk to give up for a receiver. Robinson paid off as he usually does, while Ekeler underperformed while Justin Herbert was Belichick’d. Instead, I went with James Robinson and Austin Ekeler. Who to pay up for?ĭalvin Cook was tempting, but his price compared to backs I felt would get similar workloads in decent matchups kept me from paying up for him. I ended up not playing Justin Jefferson of that group, but instead went with Adam Thielen, Robert Woods, Cooper Kupp and Adams. The Rams and Vikings receivers along with Davante Adams were all solid plays, so it came down to price and exposure. I felt that all four came out as strong plays around the same value based on usage and price. I split my running backs up with Austin Ekeler, James Robins, Myles Gaskin and David Montgomery. I felt good about their floors and prices. The only players I had on both teams were Keke Coutee and Jarvis Landry. And that decision set me on a path to have two fairly unique cash lineups for this week. I felt strongly about Aaron Rodgers and Kirk Cousins at quarterback, so I split my two cash lineups between the two. You’ll have to take my word for it, as I can’t post my team before the games start, but you can check out my weekly primer each week, where I put my favorite plays. My plan to finish this season is to play two cash lineups a week in head-to-heads, starting with 25 $1 buy-ins for each lineup. A couple mistakes and lessons learned along the way, but we live to play another day! The plan There were a few bumps along the road, but Week 13 went as close to plan as I could have hoped. ![]()
