Daily Fantasy Football Past, Present, Preview Podcast

Past - Daily Fantasy Football Week 8

If you did not pick Calvin Johnson last week, you lost. There is absolutely no way you won a GPP without him. Your team may have been garbage last week; but if you picked Calvin Johnson and his 300 yards receiving, you won your daily fantasy football contest. I know it’s not gambling, but sometimes I question whether daily fantasy football is a game of skill.

I am sure that I am not winning new friends here, but hear me out. If you skillfully picked a well thought out team, but left out Megatron; you lost. On the other hand, a junk team with Calvin Johnson was a winner. Old ladies at gas stations playing scratch offs employ more skill.

I am not a sore sport. I am not trying to ruin your fabulous daily fantasy sports industry. Maybe you did your homework and Calvin Johnson looked to be a great play. In week 7 against the Bengals, Johnson demonstrated what he was capable of doing when healthy. The problem with that argument is that no one expected 300 yards from Megatron. That is luck.

Players blow up and sometimes the right lotto balls roll out of the machine.

Preview - Daily Fantasy Football Week 9

Vikings vs. Cowboys Aaron Rodgers completed 24 of 29 vs. the Vikings. Romo, Dez, and Terrance Williams are great plays.

Chargers v. Redskins Philip Rivers (coming off a bye week) will carve up the poor Redskins D (no pun intended). Jordan Reed is the only Redskin you can trust (once again, no pun intended).

Eagles v. Raiders Chip Kelly’s offense just isn’t what it was. Terrelle Pryor, DMC, and Denarius Moore are cheap GPP plays against a bad Philly defense.

Falcons v. Panthers Harry Douglass is not an elite WR, but he’s pretty good right now. Matt Ryan will be forced to throw all day against Carolina. It looks like a good match-up on paper for Cam and DeAngelo Williams.

Saints vs. Jets Drew Brees looks in sync, but he splits up the passes too much to pick a Saints WR. Jimmy Graham, on the other hand, is a different story. He is daily fantasy football gold.
