Johnny G’s 2015/2016 DraftKings NBA Fantasy Preview

Johnny Giovonni Leave a comment

Hard to believe that another NBA season is upon us.  For me it seems like Jordan just hit “The Shot” against Ehlo.  Anyway, with DraftKings NBA there are some basic things about strategy that we should go over before the season kicks off.  Normally, I shoot to play the 50/50 contests.

Two reasons:  1. My bankroll can last much longer & 2. You will have a few competitors that start guys that are either hurt, injured, or they do not have a good value.  So out of 100 competitors, you are down to maybe 90 or so ones that actually are good.   Maybe less.  A while back in a DraftKings CFB contest I was in a 50/50 contest and 4 guys started Gunner Kiel from Cincinnati.  HE WAS OUT!

So my lineups tend to error on the conservative side, but if you want to win the big tournaments you will have to take some chances on your cheap players having huge nights.   But that does not mean a good 50/50 lineup cannot win a tournament, it just means if a guy that is averaging a steady 14 points and 7 boards probably is not going to score 45 points.   Some streak shooters can sometimes score 7 points or 27 points. Those cheap values could be great in a tournament.

DraftKings lineup setup – 8 players

PG

SG

SF

PF

C

Guard

Forward

Utility

As you can see, there is quite a bit of flexibility of your lineup as opposed to the FanDuel NBA lineup.
The two are so different it is hard to really say that a player is good for both. Analysis needs to be done for both contests in order to put the best daily fantasy basketball lineup on the table.

So check back in a few weeks for our hopefully daily pick advice on choosing your best DraftKings NBA lineup of the day. Tuesday October 27th is opening night and it will be an exiting one featuring the Cavs vs Bulls to start the season off right.

Week 5 of the NFL season brings us to another round of Johnny G’s NFL DraftKings picks. Let us get right to the action below.
Here is my advice for the best lineup I could come up with for the Sunday main event.

Week 5 Johnny G DraftKings NFL Best Lineup of the Week

PositionNameTeamSalaryProjections
QBTom BradyNE @Dal7800Look for a huge game against the Cowboys. 300 plus yards and 3TD.
RBRonnie HillmanDen @Oak4900Hillman is the man now, at least in the short term, and should carry most of the load fantasy wise. Note though, they score A LOT through the air still.
RBDoug MartinJax@ TB4700A solid RB in a game that could either be really high scoring or really low scoring.
WRO. Beckham Jr.SF@ NYG9000One of the best WR in the league and ELI is looking better as of late in my opinion.
WRTravis BenjaminCle @Bal4500A huge play threat, he is great in tournaments. Risky in 50/50 leagues.
WRAllen HurnsJax @TB4500Hard to predict what the Jags will do, but like Benjamin, very high upside.
TERob GronkowskiNE @Dal7500Not much to say here, he is the best and I want him in the lineup when I can afford him.
FLEXDanny WoodheadPit@ SD4600A great sleeper most weeks, he can give you that extra 10 fantasy points you need.
DSTBuccaneersJax@ TB2500They are playing the Jags… and are cheap.
Total50000

 

Overall, I feel I am getting some momentum each week, but one or two players just keeps the week from being great. Always looking to improve on the fantasy picks. Strive for the best.

Here we go again! Johnny G’s NFL FanDuel lineup for week 5 is listed below. This is for the main event, which includes all day Sunday games.

Sunday – 10/11/15 FanDuel NFL Best Lineup

PositionNameTeamSalaryProjections
QBTom Brady NE8800With the NE powerhouse looking to destroy the NFL one team at a time, expect no letup in sight against this battered Dallas team.
RBRonnie HillmanDenver6600They are still undfeated and he is outplaying Anderson by a lot. Look for that to continue. He should get 15 plus carries in this game.
RBDoug MartinTB6400Martin is quietly having a decent year and the Jags coming to town will not hurt.
WRJohn BrownAriz5900While Fitzgerald is getting the TD, Brown is getting a ton of targets. 10 last week.
WRMartavis BryantPitt6100He's back! No Big Ben, but still a weapon. Great for tournaments with his high risk reward status.
WRO. Beckham JrNYG9000A pure stud going up against an average SF defense.
KickerZ. HockerNO4500He is cheap and they will score some points. Watch out for those goal posts…
TERob GronkowskiNE8400The best TE combo with Brady is a great play this week. Most weeks in fact.
DefenseNYGGiants4300SF is terrible. Awful.
Total60000

 

FanDuel NFL Week 5 Sleepers

Dion Lewis at $6900 is actually a good value play with NE.  While he may share some carries, it does have some upside if they score 35 points a game. Allen Robinson as the Jags WR @ $6300 could have a big game against the Bucs.

With some teams on bye it is important to find the value plays since there are less players around. Stick with the sure points at QB this week with Brady or Rodgers. Gronk is almost a lock of the week as well. Good luck everyone.
