A break down of each of rickmilitar's picks, and the strategy that brought him $1,000,000 at the DFFC. Well, it's all said and done. Deep down, we all wonder if weekly fantasy football games come down to luck, or skill. But when a guy who tops the leader boards every single week at daily fantasy sports sites across the world takes home a million bucks at this year's Draftstreet Fantasy Football Championship, we've all got to take a close, hard look, and see what it can teach us about weekly fantasy football games. And the man didn't just win. He came in 1st, AND 4th place. And he beat the field by 17%. 17%! Absolutely amazing. But enough marveling. Let's break this thing down, blow by blow. First, and image of the carnage - published from Draftstreet's twitter feed: First - we see some interesting QB plays. Matt Cassel against the woeful Eagles Pass Defense was a relatively popular play, as his price was still depressed after having only 2 weeks under center as the starting QB. The Eagles can score, they can't defend the pass -- lots of possessions, lots of points. Fairly straightforward. rickmilitar makes a similar play with Matt Flynn - another relatively cheap quarterback against a defense that gives up a ton of passing yards. Seeing a theme here? It's always tough to predict touchdowns, but passing yards are relatively constant. In a format like the Draftstreet Fantasy Football Championship, you're going to need some luck no matter what. rickmilitar bet on the safety of yards, and got plenty lucky with touchdowns. He took a risk on some lesser known quarterbacks, figuring that if there were any time they'd pay off, it'd be today. And he was right. You're always going to need to take risks in weekly fantasy football games, especially in huge formats - but these risks were spot on. DFSR lesson from the DFFC #1: When trying trying to get separation from a huge pack, take the safety of a terrible passing defense, and gamble on the touchdowns. As we move on to the running backs, we see a little more divergence from the field. As everyone now knows, Jamaal Charles went a little crazy on the poor raiders, and 45% of the field was able to sniff out this reasonable price for a premier player. More interesting to me is the Marshawn Lynch play. The Giants have been great against the run all year in spite of their general horrificness, but it appears rickmilitar was attempting to sniff out a potential blowout and a garbage time run-up for the Seattle ball carrier. He got his blow out, and while rickmilitar couldn't...
