That's 3! Anyone else that can commit to a $25 week 15 fanduel contest, please post! I'll create the league that week with exactly as many or as few people who can say for sure that they will enter

If you want to do well on FanDuel, you don't join tournaments, you play 50/50s, 2x, 3x and 5x games.

I definitely make more doing 50/50s. I only join one $1 or $2 tournament a week just for fun.

I'll have to try some 50/50s, so far I'm running slightly ahead playing GPP (guaranteed prize pool) contests but nothing to write home about - upped my initial $50 deposit to 60 something over the season while having fun playing 4-5 contests/week.

I started at $35 and have made my way up to $108, but I've lost some on NBA stuff.

Yeah but JFC, some of those people come up with some longshot lineups that work.

One of my 50/50s last week was #8 out of 100. Wonder how it would have fared in the tournaments. Did my entries too late to join any of the big $1/$2 ones.

I won $25 in one of those big tournaments on the weekend using my AT lineup. That's the most I've won in any of them so far.

The NBA is way too hard. I tried a few but got destroyed every time.

Need advice on picking a few slots. Need to finalize RB, W/R flex and W/T flex.

Options for the yet to fill slots where boldfaced are my current choices:
RB:
Kniles Davis - RB slot @Oak
Isaiah Crowell @Atl
Daniel Herron vs Jax

WR:
Michael Floyd - W/T slot @Seattle
Torrey Smith - W/R slot @NO
Cordarrelle Patterson @GB

TE:
Jordan Reed (only have him because of my other TEs bye week) @SF

Thoughts:
Herron is the Ind #2RB. And Trent Richardson is the Ind #1. Thing is Richardson is not doing great. Indy is up against he jags and I think Herron will get touches. It's the jags so he might do something silly like 50+ yards with a TD.

Kniles Davis is in because KC are up against Oakland tonight. Davis usually gets touches anyways. I figure he has a good chance against Oakland in getting a TD. Same theory as Heron really. Both #2s but likely to do well because of matchups.

Crowell .... he is literally someone that I have to decide on Sunday morning because he might be the #1 and might be the #3. Looks like he is the browns #1RB right now but the way the Browns do things, only God knows right now how much action Crowell is getting.

Herron and Crowell have 1PM games. So either could slip into the W/R slot because my current choices have later games. So if I choose to insert both, I need atleast one change to be made tonight because that means that Kniles has to be out. Herron isvsthe Jags so it is tempting to put him in Kniles place.

I need a roster spot and thinking about dropping DeSean Jackson. Thoughts? RG3 is not very good and I want to roster someone else.

My WRs are:
Starting
AJ
E Sanders
Evans
Gordon

Bench
Matthews
Jackson

So drop rg3 and pick up mccown or tannehill.
