Bet $52, lost $52.
It was a tough week for everyone playing, the high scores were around 129, which is pathetic. Lots of injuries, lots of players who simply didn't perform. The best matchups didn't seem to matter, the best players didn't hit their 2x.
What I learned
It was dumb to pit a running back who had all the potential in the world against a run stopping defense. The bucs shut down Philly, not just Murray. I realized how counter-intuitive it was to pick a RB who had no chance against a good defense. Technically and fundamentally Murray could have done far better but he did not because the matchup shut him down. Matchups mean more to the RB position than I thought.
Tight ends shouldn't be gambled in cash games. I know, Gronk didn't do well either, but Tamme was not the second or even third best TE to pick. He had the metrics to deliver a good game but he's not a high floor tight end.
Injuries can happen everywhere. Evans took a huge hit early and wasn't passed to. Crabtree took a huge hit and they backed off on him. Injuries are the wild card of DFS that you can't account for with most players. Sure, we knew Amendola (knee) was going to get hurt, but you can't always predict things like that. But you can't guess them all.
It is very had to win when your QB doesn't do well. That's all there is to say about that.
I'm retarded with my bankroll. I bet everything on these games. I should have stuck with the 20% over a minimum of two lineups strategy. My thinking there was that, based on the numbers, there was no chance other players would do well this week. Well, no other players did well, it's just that mine didn't do well either.
Week 12 to come.
