Daily Fantasy NFL Week 1 Results

So, after 1 week I am in the black quite a bit, despite an overall losing record! Who doesn’t like those tournaments?!

Last year I was going more off of a feel for playing and breaking even. This year, I will look for tournament opportunities for overlay and pad with a better performance on h2h, triple ups or 50/50s. Fortunately, for overlays (where value is much higher per entry because the guaranteed money does not meet the number of entries), I stumbled upon a number of sites that aid in finding these. Namely, Super Lobby! which combines Draftkings and Fanduel (among others) to show overlay in tournaments. Incredibly useful for the people who are trying to be smart about entry fees.

For those that are curious how I did this past week, continue reading. Otherwise, I will post who I’m looking at and what I’m doing for Week 2 in the coming days! Again, if you’re looking to play or take a shot: Draftkings link! – Remember to search for a promo code on your favorite fantasy / insider website to valuable premium subscriptions (Rotogrinders, 4for4, fantasypros, teamrankings). Fanduel if you prefer .5 ppr and Kickers

For Fanduel, my record stood at 3-4 with winnings of $33.60 on entries of $15 and 1 free. The breakdown was as follows:

• TRFC Triple Up (200 of 660 won $30 on $10) – score of 129.24, good for 95th of 333 overall
• 50/50 League (25 of 50 won $1.80 on $1) – score of 119.62, good for 18 of 50
• 4 H2H ($1.80 on $1), $1.80 won on $4 entries
  • 97.06 – 138.32 L, 122.54-101.06 W, 77.14 – 92.64 L, 77.14 – 128.8 L
• $5,000 Week 1 Freeroll (top 1095 of 46,781 total) – scored 139.94, good for 2303. Needed 146.84 to place.

For Draftkings, record stood at 4-6 with winnings of $53.60 on entries of $7.50, 2 free, and 3 tickets.

• 3 $10MM Week 1 – scores of 143.56 $25 #118352, 140.94 $25 #124203, 100.1 $0 #440944
• OfficeFootballPool Freeroll (needed 108.5 for paid #655) – score of 100.5, good for 765 of 968 – terrible
• Draftkings Free $100k Contest (needed 155.64 for #23150) – score of 146.74, good for 42604 of 331428
• LXG Week 1 private league (top of 5 won $22.50 on $5) – score of 130.24, good for 3 of 5
• 2 NFL $5k Quarter Arcade (4875 of 23500 teams paid) – scores of 122.4 #12676 and 113.38 #16034, not good
• 2 H2H ($1.80 on $1), $3.60 won on $2 entries
  • 188.6 – 175.20 W, 152.48 – 148.84 W

All in all, pretty pleased despite the not-great record. Pays to have the tourney for entry fees, but it looks like my top scores came on Draftkings in H2H. This goes to show the type of variance that needs to be seen in tournament games to place and the floor that gets created for H2H.
