(11/15/2018)
Well, it was another close call coming up short of my 200-point lineup goal on DraftKings. I hit 170.16, which isnt bad as I was in the Top 10 percent out of almost 500K entries, which cashed me in my tournament lineups. So, I guess Ill say Woo-Hoo. I still missed the glory of being a Top-5 percente Full Story

DFS Hunter Report Week 9 2018
(10/31/2018)
My best GPP lineup in Week 8 featured 163.50 points, out of three total lineup entries. Not bad, as I cashed a small amount, but nowhere near my 200-point goal: QB-Mitchell Trubisky 21.9 RB-Saquon Barkley 20.1 RB-Jalen Richard 14.4 WR-Tyler Boyd 31.6 WR-Larry Fitzgerald 29.2 WR-Marquise Full Story

DFS Hunter Report Week 8 2018
(10/24/2018)
I had a poor showing in Week 7, only putting up 121.66 points as my highest output lineup on DraftKings not nearly close to my 200-point goal I set for myself in 2018. Ill keep plugging away, as I hope you will too. Week 8 presents opportunities Im excited about, so lets get to it. As I mention Full Story

DFS Hunter Report Week 7 2018
(10/17/2018)
I did alright in Week 6 with a 174.16 DraftKings scoring lineup. Yep, Im tooting my own horn this week since Week 5 was a total failure. Im a GPP guy only, and most DFS owners dont cash GPP lineups very often without submitting tons of varying lineups. I could grind and eek my bankroll up by playing Full Story

DFS Hunter Report Week 6 2018
(10/10/2018)
Lets get right to Week 6 no fluff this week. I only played one DraftKings Classic lineup in Week 5 and did miserably with 118.12 points, thanks to a Baltimore Ravens offensive failure. So, Im feeling sorry for myself. As I mention every week, Ill be basing my weekly write-ups off DraftKings sala Full Story

DFS Hunter Report Week 5 2018
(10/3/2018)
Week 4 treated me well, mainly since I went 9-4-1 against the spread in a weekly ATS contest and won $360, beating everyone for the top prize. Aside from that, I also turned in a 221.48-point lineup in a Tiers contest on DraftKings. It earned me 967th place out of 59,453 entries. Not bad, althou Full Story

(9/27/2018)
My Corey Clement all-in strategy wasnt the best idea for Week 3. I guess I shouldve had at least one lineup without Clement but we all knew he was a must-lock, even with the considerable ownership attention he was going to receive from DFS owners. I only had a handful of tournament lineups this week Full Story

DFS Hunter Report Week 3 2018
(9/20/2018)
Week 2 treated me much nicer than Week 1 did, cashing me out on both of my $20 entries in the DraftKings NFL $4.6M Roman Fantasy Football Millionaire ($1M to 1st). My best lineup in Week 2 featured Philip Rivers, Tevin Coleman, Todd Gurley II, Will Fuller V and Adam Thielen, with other moving p Full Story

The year is shaping up nicely for another successful DFS season. Of course, it depends on what you consider successful.

It continues to be a very interesting football season, with players tanking late in the season that aren’t supposed to tank. And, of course, the reverse is happening as well.

Rather than focusing on the misery of Week 12, I’m immediately moving to Week 13. NFL DFS just hasn’t been kind to me this season, mainly since I’m taking far too many risks with my lineups.

Well, that wasn’t good. I thought I’d be sneaky and sly and submit five lineups under the DraftKings NFL $2M Mini Midseason Celebration [$100K to 1st] contest, where it’s only $4 to play.

It’s starting to get ugly. I usually don’t have this sort of a poor run, but it’s been six weeks of not cashing in the DraftKings NFL Fantasy Football Millionaire [1M to 1st] contests.

As a long-time fantasy sports veteran, I’m quite happy to see Week 4 end.
