That's obviously not a bad strategy. But the idea in the GPPs, you're not technically trying to just barely cash here and there, you want the big payout. So taking the popular guy just like everyone else doesn't necessarily set you apart. Going a different, less obvious route may not working 3 or 4 times in a row, but the night that you fade Westbrook and he scores 22 points, that could be the night you hit a big payout if you fade 2 or 3 other guys that do the same.

Gotta love the nature of DFS, 2 nights ago I scored 303 and lost all my 50/50s, and last night I scored 221, and swept all of my 50/50s.

Last night was a shite show. Got burned by dirk resting (hits twitter at 7:03

). Still somehow won a handful of my matchups where I wasn't playing dirk, shoutout to Bradley beal and Darren collison.

I was mulling over taking Monta, and remember wanting to yell at my phone when I got the same twitter notification at 7:03 lol. I assumed Ellis's usage would go up without Dirk, but he ended up just being ok.

I know I'm getting way too involved when on a work night I stayed up til 1am watching PHO/POR because I was on a 2 night losing streak, and I badly wanted to avoid 3 in a row and I was out of the money, fighting back the entire latter part of the night. And it wasn't until about 2:30 left in the 4th quarter of that final game when Aldridge went on a little spurt that I got into the money in all 3 of my 50/50s.

1am on a work night, I'm too old for that nonsense!

So I got sucked into fan duel somehow. Do lineups really lock at 6pm and you cannot swap someone out if they scratch? frick that noise back to DK for me
