Week 2 NFL Fanduel Hits.

You had Jackson. You Won.
So Week 2 of the NFL season is in the books and now it is time to see how I fared with my Weekly Picks for Week 2.

Verdict Explanations:
  • Huge Hit: Far outplayed their cost. Tops at their position this week.
  • Big Hit: Outplayed their cost. Probably a Top 5 play.
  • Hit: Slightly better than expected. Top 10.
  • Moderate Hit: Worth the investment.
Quarterback Hits

Michael Vick
Vick cost $8,100 and got 33.2 points. That is only 1.68 points less than Aaron Rodgers who cost $9,400 and 13.4 points better than Peyton Manning whose hefty $9,800 price may have sunk some teams this week.
Verdict: BIG HIT.

Sam Bradford
Bradford proved to be a sneaky mid price pick for... nobody apparently. I searched several contest from last week and couldn't find anyone (including us, we started Vick and Pryor) who used Bradford. Too bad since he got 26.58 points for those who spent the reasonable $7,000 on him. Bradford has already gone up this week to $7,300. Against Dallas, I may just be starting him.
Verdict: BIG HIT.

Running Back Hits

LeSean McCoy
McCoy cost a hefty $8,600 and earned his owners a respectable 19.2 points. Solid numbers and if you won $$ this week on Fanduel, you likely had McCoy in your lineup.
Verdict: HIT.

Wide Receivers Hits

DeSean Jackson
For some crazy ass reason Jackson only cost $5,700 last week, but his 29.8 points in week 2 bested every other WR save Julio Jones. This guy is ridiculously undervalued. I suspect he'll once again be in my Weekly Plays for Week 3.
Verdict: HUGE HIT.

Julian Edelman
His $6,400 price is a low cost for a Tom Brady #1 receiver and in Week 2 he scored his owners a more than respectable 14.7 points. New England may struggle on offense and until the other receivers stop dropping the ball, Brady will toss the ball his way.
Verdict: MODERATE HIT.

Victor Cruz
Sure he cost $7,300 and he didn't grab a TD catch, but he did have 8 catches for 118 yards for a nice 15.8 points. He'll be the main guy on a team that will need to throw the ball a lot.
Verdict: MODERATE HIT.

Tight End Hits

Greg Olsen
Olsen cost $6,100 and earned 19.9 points. Solid production for Olsen who looks like Carolina's only consistent pass catcher. I think I may like this guy again and soon.
Verdict: BIG HIT.

Kicker Hits

Sebastian Janikowski
He cost $5,000 and delivered 4 field goals and 1 extra point.
Verdict: BIG HIT.

Steven Hauschka
 He cost $5,100 and had 2 field goals and 3 extra points.
Verdict: HIT.

Mason Crosby  
He cost $5,000 and made 1 field goal and 5 extra points. Crosby will get lots of extra points so while he may not win you your league, he won't kill you (like Sir Misses-a-Lot Randy Bullock) either.
Verdict: MODERATE HIT.

Defense Hits

Baltimore Ravens
This was a matchup hit. At $5,000 they allowed the Browns to score only 6 points. Next up the Texans. I'll be sitting them.
Verdict: HIT

Oakland Raiders
Another matchup hit as the lowly Jags were held to 9 points.
Verdict: MODERATE HIT.
