if merrimack wins out all the way to the HE semi-finals or finals, how come they cannot be an at large team?
They won't jump high enough in the PWR.

Ask @MikeMcMahonCHN
Last week of the regular season, who is your Hobey vote and finalists?
Aston-Reese still has my vote to win it. Vecchione should be a finalist. Having a hard time with the 3rd. I'd probably go with Bjork.

If Merrimack wins out will they make the tournament
If they win out, including a HE tourney win, then of course. They cannot be an at-large team.

who do you think gets the byes in Hockey East? Does Lowell stay up there?
1. BC, 2. BU, 3. Providence, 4. Lowell. I think Notre Dame is the odd-team out there. But we'll see.
Why doesn't hockey east just take holy cross and get it over with?
DCU Center isn't 100% on board. Like UConn needed XL, Holy Cross needs a building.
Pick for Hobey?
Zach Aston-Reese.
Are there teams at this point you consider locks for the NCAA's?
Duluth, Denver & Harvard. Minnesota, BU, Penn State, Western MIchigan all virtual locks (99%)
16-team 2 QB league. My opponent only has one starting QB (he drafted Geno Smith and has Hoyer) and the only starter on waivers is Mallett. Should I drop Javorious Allen for Mallett just so he has to take a position with 0 points? I think yeah, right?
First, lol. Second, yes. All's fair. The Mallett news has been out for days. He should have made a move. His fault.
I'm in a league where I have to carry two DST - I have SEA, drop the NYJ for NO this week?
Yes. Who cares if someone else picks up the NYJ, almost every other week SEA is a fine start.
PPR flex. Eifert, Dion Lewis, CJ Spiller or Agholor?
Eifert
What do I do about Hilton? Moncrief is available on waivers. Take my chances with Hilton or start Sammy Watkins?
Drop your worst player for Moncrief. Then on Monday play Hilton if he plays if not you have a backup who will get more targets with Hilton out. I hate Watkins this week. Malcolm Butler did a good job covering Brown despite the numbers. Watkins caught 0 balls last week and I expect Butler to cover him well tomorrow.
Any suggestions on NCAA DFS? Particularly at TE?
I don't know enough about it, so I don't play it.
Ryan Fitzpatrick or n Colin Kaepernick?
Ughh, not the best choices. Go Kaepernick but don't expect much. I'm expecting Vontae Davis to take Marshall out of the game for the Jets and Pittsburgh's D is leaky.
Thinking of starting Bradford over Brady, am I nuts?
Nope, I'd go Bradford.

fantasy impact of the Texans moving to turf?
It might hurt Hopkins, makes it easier for CB to stick with him and numbers on turf are worse than grass for his career. It helps Foster when he returns. Averaged 0.5 YPC more on turf last year and 1.2 YPC more on turf in 2012. 2013 it was exactly the same.

Is it crazy to think UConn last year was similar to NU 2 years ago during Witt's magical stretch? Relying on a goalie to bail out a team with horrid Corsi, low shooting %, and a high number of shots against, and then the goalie faded near season's end? NU showed that's not a long-term winning strat
It's not crazy at all. In fact, I pretty much see as it being the same. That said, I think UConn is building itself to be a competitive program. Guys like Letunov and Gendron are going to be good players, combined with the young guys they already had. It will take time, but they're moving in the right direction. But last season was an anomaly, IMO, because of how much they relied on Nichols.
What's your strategy in DFS tournaments with larger cash prizes compared to multipliers and 50/50? How do you break down what you play? (I've only ever done low entry tournaments)
So I have a system that works quite well. Generally, I can finish in the top-50%. Not trying to brag, but if you put enough study into it, you can generally do that well. So, for sake of argument, let's say I have $30 to spend. I'll take $10 and enter a large-prize tournament. Then I'll usually take another $10 or $20 and enter a 50/50. That way, if I finish in the top-50% of that league (which again, I'm generally able to do), you don't lose money. You make a little, or if I just enter one, you break even at worst.
Now, of course there are times that you finish out of the money in both, and you're out more money. But last year (and yes I keep track of this because I'm a dork), I finished 13/17 weeks cashing in the 50/50 leagues and 9/17 cashing in the larger tournaments. So there were only 4/17 weeks where I lost last season. That's under 25%, which is a rate I'll take. So more than 75% of the time I either broke even or won.
There were times last year where I cashed in huge. I had one week (Week 12 last year), where I hit on two $10 50/50 tournaments and then cashed $400 in a larger tournament.
I'm not one of these guys who is playing it every day as a full-time job, but I do play it enough that I have a general strategy and a way of ranking players that's outside of what FanDuel suggests. The biggest thing in winning larger tournaments is hitting on a sleeper. You need to be able to pick the players that are priced low, but also will have a low percentage of people taking them. So if they go off for 20 points, that's a big difference for your team.
Like this week, for me, it's Lance Dunbar. He's under $4000 I believe, and I'm expecting Dallas to be in a lot of passing downs and they're of course without Dez Bryant. You look at the targets after Dez was taken out of the game last week, and Dunbar really benefited. He might not be a good play every week, but this week I think he is. Especially because I think you'll see a lot of people take Terrance Williams and play him as the Dez replacement. Williams should still be decent as well – and a better pickup off waivers for seasonal leagues — but I like Dunbar this week in DFS.

You think Hillman overtakes Anderson?
Anderson's banged up, but potentially. I'd handcuff C.J. for sure.
Have you ever actually won money on fan dual?
Almost weekly. I usually at least break even. You can be if you can finish in the top 50%, for the most part.
Should I always use a WR as a flex in PPR? Have Abdullah or Cole Beasley I can star there this week.
Depends. In this case, you 100% go Abdullah. He's catching passes in that offense.
Should I have gone with Carson Palmer over Peyton this week?
Yes, you should have.
I have CJ Anderson. Only 10 team league but pickup Hillman to handcuff right now? My waivers don't kick until Sunday
Yes
For my third WR, Brandon Marshall or Terrance Williams?
Williams. Vontae Davis is a great corner. Look at Watkins last week (0.0 points)
My flex=Latavius Murray or Alfred Morris
Morris, but barely. Basically a wash.
