Week 2 NFL Fanduel Misses.

Ridley sucked it up.

So Week 2 is done. There was some ugly games (Pats/Jets), some thrillers (Bills/Panthers and Bears/Vikings) and a few blowouts (Broncos/Giants and  Packers/Skins).

But what we really care about here at Daily Fantasy Leagues is Hits and Misses. Thankfully I had a lot more hits this week than misses. See my Hits column here. Unfortunately even I'm not perfect so here are my Fanduel Misses for Week 2 of the NFL season.

 Verdict Explanations:

• Huge Miss: Far underplayed their cost. Killed your week.
• Big Miss: Underplayed their cost. Cracked the Top 20 if you were lucky.
• Miss: Slightly worse than expected. May have cracked the Top 10, but probably not.
• Moderate Miss: Didn't kill your week, but didn't win it either.

Quarterback Misses

Terrele Pryor
Pryor sunk back to Earth in week 2. He cost $6,500, but gave about $5,000 worth of value. His 10.04 points weren't horrible, but if you started Pryor you likely didn't win the week.
Verdict: MISS.

Running Back Misses

Stevan Ridley
Ridley's bell cow back status is in major jeopardy after his Week 2 crap-fest. He cost $6,800 and got 4 cruddy points. Ugly game. Ugly stat line. Ugly future?
Verdict: HUGE MISS.

Darren Sproles
Sproles cost $6,700 and got 9.2 points. Like Pryot he didn't kill your week, but he didn't help much either. Fanduel's .5 PPR scoring system devalues Sproles somewhat.
Verdict: MISS.

Wide Receiver Misses

NONE
However the Other Solid Recommendations of Boldin and Brown didn't pan out.

Tight End Misses

Jared Cook
So much for being a machine all year. If you started him his measly 1.5 points cost you $6,300. Lesson: TE consistency is tough. You may wanna spend your $$ on them.
Verdict: HUGE MISS

Zach Miller
He cost $4,800 and gave you 3.7 points. Guess he was priced right after all. Hope you spent your savings wisely.
Verdict: MODERATE MISS

Kicker Misses

NONE
Even Solid Option Zuerlein delivered pretty well.

Defense Misses

NONE
Even the Bills did OK. Probably won't recommend them again though.
