The other night in basketball was horrific to say the least. It may be the worst ticket I’ve ever created. If someone were to tell me that James Harden would only have 13 shot attempts on a night when Dwight Howard had the night off, I would have called you a genius. You thought I was going to say crazy but that would be too cliche. Wait until you meet our new correspondent, BrandenBerger. Some may say that he’s a mentally handicapped 10 year old. I tend to agree, but enough about that half wit, lets get on to some daily fantasy football picks.

Our picks last week were quite lackluster. Jimmy Graham put up quite the stinker and immediately put us behind the 8 ball. Cliche! Some people think it was because he was hurt, but I watched the game and they just weren’t tossing him the ball. We thought our money was going to be saved by the DraftKIngs glitch, but alas, our money was not refunded, nor did we ask for a refund. We lost fair and square.

This brings our total to $36.80 and we intend to double up this week on our football so it will be 10 x $1 50/50’s.

Here’s Our Lineup.

UPDATE!!

Orton IN Kaepernick OUT.

Jimmy Graham IN. Martellus Bennett OUT.

Theo Riddick IN. Sammy Watkins OUT.

49ers OUT. Philidelphia IN

Colin Kaepernick – We’ve rostered him twice before and he’s 50/50 on his performance. He’s had 3 weeks straight of sub par performances and there’s no reason to believe that he’ll improve. However, we feel his downside is the 12 points from the other week and he always has a chance of adding more to your squad with his legs. He has zero rushing td’s this year and we think he’s due. In his price range, it’s hard to make a case for any other qb. We like Kyle Orton but don’t want to take he and Watkins in a 50/50, just in case. So we stick with Kaepernick, for now.

Rashad Jennings – We like Jennings because he gets rushes and catch attempts. It provides a high ceiling for his price and he has the ability to get TD’s too. The last time we took him, he got hurt. If that happens again, he’ll be banished from our lineups forever and like in Harry Potter, he will be forever known as He Who Must Not Be Named.

Trent Richardson – We like him because we think he’ll get double the catch targets with Bradshaw hurt. Is he good? No. Can he achieve his value without the need of a TD? Yes. Can he get a TD? Yes. Can he get 5 catches for 40 yards? Yes. Can he rush for 50 yards on 17 carries? Yes. We’ll take it. On another note, we were thinking about taking Mccoy but stopped because he’s never done us proud this year in any way. If Sproles came in and stole td’s from him, we’d just be livid over here. Like throw my kids through the tv screen livid, then throw the tv, with them in it, through the window, which would then hopefully crash through the windshield of my Dodge Viper below. I would then get in that Dodge Viper, drive to the Grand Canyon, jump out the door at the last second, and watch it plummet down to my wife, who went there on her alone vacation, and consume her in what can only be described as a being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Keenan Allen – He’s being getting tons of targets and catching lots of balls. None of them are deep balls, so he’s the safe guy underneath. For his price, we’ll take 6 catches for 80 yards and be very happy with it. Can he throw in a TD? He’s due.

TY Hilton – He’s had 2 horrid weeks in a row. What are the odds of 3? It’s possible, but not likely. We hope the JAGS put up a fight, so TY will be needed in all 4 quarters.

Jordy Nelson – The team is just on fire and we stick with Jordy Nelson as always. If other guys swipe his targets or catches or td’s, so be it. We go with their top dog.

Martellus Bennett – He’s severely underpriced and going up against a horrible pass defense. Is there a chance he doesn’t get many targets? Yes. But we’re only looking for 4-5 catches from him this week. Even if he puts up a clunker, which is a very good chance, it won’t hurt us that match due to his low price. We usually pay up for either Graham or Gronk, but something is stopping us this week. This pick could change and if it does, it will drastically alter our picks.

Sammy Watkins – Big fan of the situation. Passing teams have field days against the Jets and then there’s the added plus of this game moving indoors. We’d love to start Orton too, but we need to spread the risk, just in case. The second time I’ve used the ‘just in case’ in this post. I need a better vocabulary.

49ers

The defense is playing like they must carry the whole team at the moment. They’re getting sacks and causing turnovers. They’re up against RG3 this week and that should turn into a bunch of sack opportunities. This is an interesting game from the perspective of RG3. If he doesn’t perform, the bust calls will get louder. He has tons of pressure on him and I think this defense feels it, then buries him. Like what happens to a human after a Dodge Viper falls from the Grand Canyon right on top of you. Hood ornament first.

Our picks crushed it last week in daily fantasy football.. CRUSHED! Our cash game tickets came close to top prizes in some single entry tournaments too. For football this year, we’ve won 8 of our 10 weeks and after those losses we doubled up to recoup from the week before. To say we’re having a profitable 1st year iis an understatement.

We’re up to $43.40 on our Quest For $1000 and this week we’re going to lower our stakes back to 5 x $1 50/50’s. To explain, after we double up from a losing week, we don’t increase our amount played, we actually decrease it. We’ll increase incrementally, the larger our bankroll gets.

Let us get onto our picks before my wife makes me do household chores or my kids ask me for money or for toys or whatever they do that annoys me.

UPDATE!

Alfred Blue IN. Rivera OUT.

Browns Defense IN. Pittsburgh OUT!

Andy Dalton – Can you believe I just recommended Andy Dalton. I was just ripping  on him the other day, and the day before that, and the day before that one too. The thing about daily fantasy is, have a short memory, or at least consider every player before you say no. With Andy, he’s 5600 bucks. This means, if he throws 300 yards, he almost earned his 3 points per 1000 spent. That’s without throwing a touchdown. New Orleans defense gives up 260 per game. He’s got 2 healthy receivers and a great running back to take pressure off. They need to bounce back big. 300 yards isn’t out of the question. We like Warren Buffet. His theory is buy’em when everyone else hates’em. He’d buy Dalton and we are too.

Jeremy Hill – If this was a tournament, we wouldn’t use Hill, but it’s not. He can run, he can catch, he can score. We needed to pay up for receivers, so Hill is a nice consolation prize at RB in our opinion. 70 yards rushing. 3 catches for 40 yards. We’ll take that. A TD would be a bonus.

Shane Vereen – We wanted exposure to the Patriots game with such a high over/under. It’s Vereens job there and  he can fill up the score sheet in a bunch of different ways. 70 yards rushing. 5 catches for 60 yards. This should be quite the affair and he’ll have a big impact on this game as the Colts corners are ferocious.

Antonio Brown – The Steelers were embarrassed last week and they need to make a comeback statement. Brown didn’t get 100 yards and he fumbled twice. We think he’ll be plenty motivated to have a big game. He’s the goods and his price dropped a ton.

Jordy Nelson – He took us to the promised land last week and we’re not going to guess which WR will get the ball more. We just give it to Jordy. He’s their number 1. If he puts up a stinker and Dovantae Adams creeps in again, so be it. We’re sticking with Nelson. Everyone thinks this will be a game. Personally, I think GB kills them.  That Eagles Secondary stinks.

Keenan Allen – He’s been getting 10 plus targets for the last few weeks. He’s had some solid weeks and an unspectacular one too. That dud was one the whole team laid though. We think he has an 11 point floor. 5 catches for 60 yards this week. He’s going up against a middle of the road pass defense and we like his chances for a big game.

Jimmy Graham – You’re either taking Graham or Gronk this week. We didn’t have enough money for Gronk so we went with the next best thing. The Bengals have a bend but don’t break defense and they’ve been breaking a lot. He’ll rack up the catches and yards.

Pierre Garcon – In all likelihood, this pick will change. He doesn’t fit our beliefs as a high floor kinda guy. But for this spot at the moment, we’re waiting for something to emerge by Sunday. We also have thought about having Trent Richardson here and may lean that way as well for his guarantee points catching, with upside potential running and for TD’s.

STEELERS D – We like the Steelers because of the bounce back factor. We think everyone on that team is pissed off. Look out Titans. The Titans can’t run or pass the ball well. They give up close to 3 sacks per game,  turn the ball over twice a game and only score 16 points a game. We’ll take that.

Keep coming back for updates…..

UPDATE!

Keenan Allen OUT. Julio Jones IN.

Julio Jones – He’s in a high over/under game against a team that got ripped or over 300 yards last week in the air. It could have been more. The Panthers are on a short week as well. Jones racks up the targets and we think he’ll finally hit pay dirt this week. He’s due.

Jeremy Hill OUT. Theo Riddick IN.

Theo Riddick – He’s dirt cheap and it looks like Reggie Bush isn’t playing. He’s now the pass catching back all to himself again. In his 2 weeks in that role, he put up impressive totals of 5 for 75 and 8 for 74. This week he’s facing a tough run defence and I don’t think that matters. It’s not his game. In fact, it helps him. He’ll be on the field more for passing downs against a weak pass defense. We think he gets the 9 fantasy points we need from him with a tiny bit of upside if he scores a TD. His downside is 6 fantasy points.

Pierre Garcon OUT. Mychal Rivera IN.

Mychal Rivera – Rivera is really cheap. He’s going up against a team that defends the TE well, only giving up 3 catches for 30 yards a week. It’s not to say they haven’t been burned by TE’s, they have. They also haven’t faced the greatest TE’s as well. But we’re going for a cheap play in this spot that can possibly earn his value without a TD. Even at the 3 catches for 30 yards, he gets 6 fantasy points and all we need is 9. Does he have massive upside? No. But you never know how this game will play out. He could get those garbage minute catches like he did last week. He’s an ultra cheap play that won’t kill us if he throws up a dud.

NOTE: Many people will be taking Kelvin Benjamin as he’s cheap and going up against the worst pass Defense in Atlanta. We took him last week and he rewarded us with 2 tds. They were garbage td’s and he didn’t deserve the stats he got. He gets targets but not a lot of catches. Sometimes he goes missing. We would have taken him again, but we couldn’t find a player that we liked to replace any of our other low cost options with our savings. So instead we spent the money on Jones, whom has a higher floor and has the ability to outperform him in the same game.

Before we begin with our daily fantasy football picks for week 10, we just want to tell you that we will not be doing any basketball today, due to the small schedule. We’re not fans of these days, so we’ll fight again tomorrow.

Now back to our Quest for $1000. Last night, even with Kevin Love throwing up quite the stinker, we managed to win both our entries, lifting our bankroll to $33.40. Up 334% Moving forward, we will probably be staying away from Cavs players. Too many Chiefs, not enough Indians.

Last week, we lost on Football (we blame Andre Johnson), we’re now 7 wins and 2 losses on Football this year. So this week we will be doubling up to recoup our losses. We’ll be play 10 x $1 50/50’s. There’s some soft pricing on DraftKings this week and we hope to take advantage.

Remember, this is our opening roster. Usually we’ll be tinkering with it over the next few days, so come back to see what you could be missing. Fear of missing out? I know I have it.

UPDATE!

I can’t believe we’re doing this, but we’re using Mark Sanchez. Yes, I know what I wrote below, but I checked his stat history and it wasn’t bad. His completion percentage stinks but as long as he has attempts, we’re cool. The Chip Kelly Offense won’t change. It will be quick and he’ll have his offensive line back to protect him. We feel, even if he only gets 1 TD, that he could still earn his keep with the low salary. So yes, Mark Sanchez is in.

Andre Ellington is out. Ronnie Hillman is in. We realized we had to take off our love glasses for a second and say that Ellington is fairly priced. So our up side is limited. We like the Hillman situation this week and chose to go with him instead of our first love.

We moved Benjamin into our wr slot, and removed Brandon Marshall. We just don’t know whom will get the ball there. 4 solid options. So we chose Justin Forsett for our FLEX. He can catch the ball out of the backfield and he’s the guy in Baltimore. They’re playing a crappy Titans team we think he can achieve the 15 points we need from him. We think he’ll have at least 80 yards rushing and 1 catch. So his floor is 9 points to us.

Owen Daniels OUT. Jimmy Graham IN. It’s the highest over/under of the week and it look like Patrick Willis isn’t playing. This will open up Jimmy Graham to have a massive game, in our opinion. When a tight, like Jimmy or Gronk, has optimal conditions, you pay up for him as the drop off below is steep. His price tag isn’t as high as the 8000 from opening day, so I think he’s a good deal.

Dallas D out. Ravens D IN. We like defences at home and we’re not fans of the Titans offence or it’s rookie QB.  It’s a slightly above average D versus a well below average offence. We’ll take it.

SECOND UPDATE!

We didn’t like what the Denver Offensive Coordinator said about touches with Hillman and Ball. So we are moving Hillman Out. Forsett into his RB spot, Moving Out on the Ravens and slotting in the LIONS D. Now we can afford Dez Bryant with Romo officially playing.

Our Lineup is Below!!!!!

Matt Ryan – He played Tampa earlier in the year and threw 250 plus yards with 3 TD’s. They’ve had the week off to game plan and it’s hard to see a complete stinker being put up, so we believe he has a high floor at a good price.

Andre Ellington – We’re big Ellington fans because he doesn’t need to score td’s to get his value. This week his price was higher and we wanted to take a cheaper back, but we just love his catching ability, so we stuck with him.

Lesean Mccoy – He’s still cheap and we think he’ll be a much needed assist to Mark Sanchez for the quick dump off. Many people love mark Sanchez this week as a value play. To us, he’s still Mark Sanchez. Geno Smith was given his job. Does anyone remember this? So we’ll take Mccoy as a friendly dump off machine. Plus, the offensive line is getting healthier. This bodes well for him this week.

Julio Jones – He’ll get his targets like usual and he could be in for a big game. His price is too low to not take him. I expect him to be 40% owned.

Brandon Marshall – I took Marshall because he was also too cheap in the highest over under of the week. I may move from him, which will make me change many other things, but he won’t need a TD to achieve his 3 points per thousand that we look for. The thing that scares me with him, like with some others, there are 4 guys on this team that share catches. Even if they all get their looks, it’s something that’s not working with this team. They keep losing. Something has to change and part of me doesn’t want to be around for it. This may be a value trap.

Jordy Nelson – He’s also in the highest scoring game of the week. He gets tons of targets, but in his last game, he put up quite the dud. Did it scare me? Yes. Why? Because Dovontae Adams looked good and added another dimension to the offence. Does this mean his targets on a week to week basis will be hard to figure out? It’s possible. Am I over thinking it? Probably.

Owen Daniels – Even though he has so many fantasy points, I’m not a Julius Thomas fan. He barely gets any targets and if he doesn’t catch a TD, he stinks. So he was out. I would not fault anyone for taking Jimmy Graham, but it also seems like Brees is spreading the ball around like never before and that kinda scares me too. So we went with Owen Daniels because he was so cheap. At his 3300 buck price tag, he can easily get the points he needs without a TD as they play the lowly Titans.

IF YOU LIKE OUR PICKS, PLAY THEM ON DRAFTKINGS. WIN CASH! PLAY NOW!

Kelvin Benjamin – He’s our flex this week as he’s pretty cheap for a number 1 wide receiver. He’s got a good matchup against a weak Eagles secondary and can also get his 3 points per thousand without a TD. Last week was just atrocious, 2 catches for 18 yards, but he did have 10 targets. We’ll take it and we’re sure 30% of others will too.

Cowboys D – They are playing the Jags. It’s the safest pick we could make. The Jags.

We may move to Calvin Johnson or Dez Bryant but we’re still waiting for more information on them or their team situations.

Two Quest For $1000 Posts in the same day? Yes. We are truly amazing over here at Best Daily Fantasy Site. It’s our daily fantasy football picks cash game ticket for DraftKings. We’re winners now in 7 of our 8 cash game weeks on DraftKings and we look to keep that going. This week, we’ll be playing 6 x $1 50/50’s.

Before we continue, lets just say that last week was crazy. The amount of scoring from top players was off a chart and this week, the salaries have gone through the roof on the Receiver front. With many quality receivers on a bye or playing on Thursday, it was slim pickings ate Receiver this week and creating a stacked roster was near impossible. Our roster could change as we do tweak it constantly, all the way up to game time and it’s very likely it will happen again. Right now, we’re under the assumption that Aj Green and Giovani Bernard will not be playing this week, so our current roster reflects that, but this and many other things could change by Sunday, so keep on coming back and we’ll keep you posted.

Our daily fantasy football picks for DraftKings are below.

IF YOU LIKE OUR PICKS, CREATE A ROSTER AT DRAFTKINGS! WIN CASH! PLAY NOW!

Colin Kaepernick

He’s playing the Rams at home and they are the team he vandalized earlier in the year on his way to his highest point total. He has a very high floor and for $7000, we’ll take him with little downside.

Le’Veon Bell

Initially we had Marshawn Lynch here, and we think most will, but we really don’t like how Lynch doesn’t catch many balls. Bell is still underpriced and is just too reliable. Imagine if he actually gets a touchdown.  He;s our favourite daily fantasy football player this year.

Andre Ellington

Le’veon Bell Lite. He runs and catches so many balls that he quickly pays for himself without the need of a touchdown.  At 5900, he’s a steal in our opinion. A very high floor with upside.

Andre Johnson

This is our 3rd week in a row with Andre Johnson in our lineup. He does the same thing every week and we’re just fine with that. We expect the same old this week with some upside against a horrible defence. One of these weeks he’ll get 100 yards or a TD, so this week could be that week, but it’s not needed. he up against some bad cornerbacks this week.

Steve Smith Sr.

He’s been quiet the last 2 weeks even though he’s still been getting targets. This week he faces a lousy secondary in Pittsburgh. He should get back to the 6 catch range as he’s getting 9-10 targets and have the ability to get 100 yards and a td. He’s a high floor with a high ceiling this week.

Mohamed Sanu

This pick is dependent on the health of AJ Green. If Green isn’t playing, Sanu will get all the targets once again and he’s playing an atrocious Jacksonville defence. Even Andy Dalton can’t screw this one up? He’ll have plenty of chance to pick up catches/yards and like the others, might not need a touchdown to earn his keep.

Julius Thomas

We did everything to try and fit Gronkowski into this spot but couldn’t figure out a way to get all the other pieces we liked. It’s a tough week. So we took Julius Thomas in a high over under. He hasn’t been getting tons of target s and is touch down dependent, however, New England stink against tight Ends, and we think this gives him a chance to double his targets this week. This is our riskiest play in our opinion.

Jeremy Hill

Like Sanu, Hill will remain here as long as we think or know that Giovani Bernard is not playing. He’s facing Jacksonville and should get all running back duties, including pass catching which he does quite well. At $4000, he has a high floor with the potential of having a monster day.

VIKINGS

They’re averaging over 3 sacks and 1. turnovers a game. Can Colt Mccoy play brilliantly twice in a row? He’s Colt Mccoy? We don’t think so. We like them to get us between 6-10 fantasy points this week.

UPDATE!! with AJ Green playing, we removed Sanu from our lineup. We switched him to Reuben Randle. He’s getting targets and the Giants game is a big over/under 50.5. Vegas thinks points will be scored and the Giants will need to Pass to catch up.

With that change, we then wanted to somehow get Gronk into our lineup, so we moved off Le’veon Bell (which really made us upset because we love him) and moved to Ronnie Hillman. The weather isn’t looking so hot in Foxboro and it will be some running and short passing. In the history of these matches, Bellichek chose to stop Manning and let the running game run wild. So we think Hillman will have a good chance at a big day. The thing we want most are few catches and we think, due to the weather, this should easily happen. Some nice little dump offs. He can earn his value without a td. It’s also the highest over under of the week, so he has tremendous upside.

Then we switched off Julius Thomas and moved to Gronkowski. We aren’t fans of the Thomas downside, even though he’s cheap. We just wanted the tried and true Gronkowski. He’ll be a security blanket all day for Brady and we know he’ll get his targets.

We’ve switched our defence from the Vikings to the Chiefs. They do a good job at getting to the Qb and this week they’re going up against a team in real disarray. The Qb position is in shambles and they could feast on this. We like a few sacks here, and if Vick is playing, multiple fumble recovery opportunities.

UPDATE 2! Vontae Davis is playing, so we’re of Randle. We are moving AJ Green into that spot as he’s healthy with a good matchup. To make room for this, we moved off Hillman to Lesean Mccoy. They have the capability of the same game. Same upside and downside. Then we also moved off the Chiefs, which made us sad, but it was a must to get the receiver we wanted. So now we’re on the Browns at home versus the lowly Buccaneers. Not a bad consolation prize.
