Last week, I entered a heads-up league with our friends at FanDuel.com in an attempt to finally get "into the money" in one of these leagues. So, how did I fare?
Here's the final box score:
| DailyNorseman | The1WhoKnocks | |||
| Points | Player | Position | Player | Points |
| 16.72 | Joe Flacco | QB | Aaron Rodgers | 24.3 |
| 8.8 | Branden Oliver | RB | Le'Veon Bell | 24.5 |
| 24.3 | Ronnie Hillman | RB | Justin Forsett | 9.5 |
| 19.6 | Dez Bryant | WR | Brandon Marshall | 7.8 |
| 1.9 | Alshon Jeffery | WR | James Jones | 5.5 |
| 26.4 | Golden Tate | WR | Golden Tate | 26.4 |
| 1.8 | Heath Miller | TE | Jordan Reed | 7.9 |
| 13 | Blair Walsh | K | Matt Prater | 6 |
| 5 | Arizona | D | Cleveland | 8 |
| 117.52 | Total | 119.90 |
So, really, thanks a lot to Alshon Jeffery and Heath Miller for, apparently, forgetting that their teams were playing this past Sunday. Through seven weeks, I have still yet to hit pay dirt in a league at FanDuel.com.
This week, I think I'm going to get back into a 50/50 pool. That's the league that has 100 entrants and 50 of them will make the money, all for the same amount. Here's what I'm rolling with for this weekend.
Yep. . .rolling with a few Vikings this week. If this offense can't get it going this week against a pretty bad Tampa Bay defense, then they don't deserve to win and I don't deserve to get into the money anyway. Plus, saving a bit at QB and one of my running back spots allows me to load up a bit at my other RB spot and my WR position. At least, I think so.
So, if I wanted to roll with all Minnesota Vikings, how much would it cost this weekend?
Total - $47,900 (up $100 from last week)
It's actually a little more expensive to field an all-Vikings team this week. . .not much, but it's a step in the right direction.
Best of luck to all of you that are partaking in FanDuel leagues this weekend, and may we all find our way into the cash.
