I was never worried.

Survived!


Here's hoping Seattle blows it for a bunch of you! Punished for taking the consensus pick.


So your posturing only lasted one week. Looks like you went for the consensus pick in week 2. Any explanation or did you suddenly come to your senses?

Status: offline 		you did the right thing todd.. i was shocked that the browns were up 20-0, and it was only the first quarter..

but hey,, it's the team that though johnny football was going to be a "supastar"...

I spent the whole day thinking I had picked the seahags against the rams in survivor, but nope.. it was in picks pool

I am currently the WORST picker of winning teams by pool points..

the rams defense was solid.. they have seattle's number, for some reason..

and i thought more highly of oakland's defense than i should have..

oh well..

Between Dan, who is through, and myself - who will need to get through with a Seattle win.

On the plus side, tonight Drew Brees has propelled me to a 1st place win in a 100 player FanDuel tournament. $125 first prize on a $5 entry fee. So I got that going for me, which is nice.

Anyway - the final sign that you're a loser with Survivor is when you don't get a reminder e-mail to get your pick in. I guess I'll just have to focus all of my energy on the regular picks pool.

Status: offline 		I know this is not related to the fantasy picks here, but I have a question. I have Julian Edelman on one of my fantasy teams and was wondering if he would gain points for playing QB even if he is still listed at WR. If so, it would be awesome to get QB stats out of a WR position and still play your actual QB. Any thoughts?

.. QB's get points for rushing yards. like Newton does..

It's good to know the rules and scoring of your particular fantasy league. Usually all scenarios are covered.

In terms of FanDuel, if a WR, RB or TE throws a pass, the points count. However, if a kicker throws a pass, on a fake, or botched FG attempt, the points are not credited to the kicker.

2 point conversions are also scored differently. If a pass catcher scores a 2 point conversion, he is credited with 2 points. No half point for the reception, and no fractional points for the yardage.
