DraftKings in London

It’s the start of another NFL season, which means it’s also time to up your daily NFL fantasy game.

Sure, you’re in loads of weekly leagues, dynasty’s, pick’ems, but how is your weekly DFS game?
It’s time to up it by joining our DraftKings in London League.

NFL in London League

For the past 7 years, we have been running fun, weekly NFL in London contests in our DraftKings League.
All you have to do to join it is to click here and get yourself up and running!

https://dkn.gs/r/jPPbmLURQUWWfYH-Md1G9g

In our League we have a selection of FREE and PAID weekly contests. We know that times are tough, so we have kept the entry fees rather low at this point.
Learn to play, have some fun, and only risk what you’re willing to lose.

In terms of our FREE contests, we have a few Sunday Funday contests that test your mettle and fantasy football ingenuity.

It’s tough trying to win in week 1 when you have NO IDEA who they heck is going to do what. Anyone who says that they are confident in their week 1 picks is full of it.

$3 Dolla Holla

One of our more popular weekly contests is the $3 Dolla Holla contest, where as you guessed it-entry costs $3.

It’s not too expensive, and less than a pint these days to take a punt and take on your friends in a fun contest.

If you’re looking to play in our $3 Holla Contest, all you have to do is click on this link, and you’re ready to play in Week 1.

Free Contests

Everyone loves the word FREE, becomes it means you’re going to get stuff!

Our FREE weekly contests on DraftKings are a great way to learn daily fantasy NFL, without having to worry about losing your childs’ education fund.

We have TWO Sunday Funday contests for you to choose from?
Why two?
Because that way you can play around with a couple of lineups and see how they do against each other.

Maybe you do one based on what the online pundits say, and one which is purely gut picks?

The idea is to get comfortable setting lineups by playing and practising every week.

Here is a FREE Sunday Funday contest to jump onto this week!

Week 1 Tips

So you want to want to show off to your friends that you are a DFS stud right out of the gates?
Here are a few of our choice picks to help you out in your fantasy flicks for week 1 in the NFL.

Jameis Winston ($5300)

Jameis is back! Healthy, happy, and boasting an incredible wide receiver squad, and on the backs of a solid defence.
The Falcons were truly woeful last year, allowing the second amount of fantasy points.
It doesn’t look any better for them this year.
Look to Jameis to light it up with Michael Thomas.

Brandon Aiyuk ($5200)

This 49ers phenom had an okay year last year, but looks to shine even brighter under the arm of Trey Lance.
Aiyuk has been a favourite target of Lance all preseason, and with George Kittle expected to miss the game due to injury, expect Aiyuk to grab a bunch of balls.

Miles Sanders ($5400)

There was concern that Sanders hamstring would hamper his week 1 against the Lions, but all that looks in the past-as Miles lines up for a big Sunday.
Sanders was solid last year in his healthy fantasy options, and should see the bulk of the work against a Detroit team that hasn’t enjoyed playing against quality running backs.

Nyheim Hines ($5100)

Why take Hines when Jonathan Taylor is looking to beast-feast all over the Texans on Sunday? Because Nyheim Hines sees plenty of short and slot action passes from new QB Matt Ryan.
Sure, Taylor will bust a nut through opposing lines, but Hines is there to allow Ryan to create opportunities, and use him for the Colts, like the 49ers used Deebo Samuel.

That’s it for some of our fantasy advice for week 1.

We look forward to you joining us on DraftKings for Week 1!

 

Week 3 Preview

by

An epic week of game awaits as we head into another tasty week of the NFL.

Wade McElwain and Ryan Cull break down all their picks and predictions in this Week 3 Preview podcast.

If you love the podcast, come meet us in person this week, as we hit the sports Bar & Grill Old Street. It’s open until 12:30am, so you can watch all the games until the tubes shut.

Best of all, we’re running a DraftKings contest this week, where the winner gets 2 tickets to the Dolphins vs Jaguars at Tottenham stadium.
This is the only contest where you can win.

https://www.draftkings.co.uk/draft/contest/114108483?bypassChallPop=true

We’ve got parties on for the London games as well as all of the London locations. Get in touch if you want to book a table.

As for the picks this week, Wade and Ryan have a crazy amount of similarities in their picks, despite not having chatted about it prior.

Among some of the games they discuss in this one:

Ravens (1-1) -8 vs Lions (0-2)  +50

Baltimore is fresh off a beating of the AFC title holders, with a duke and dunk scheme by Lamar Jackson that was enjoyable to watch. Despite having a slew of injuries, Baltimore was once again able to show why they are contenders in the division.

Detroit is bad. Just bad. Goff has been saddled with a broken team and even worse, trapped in a broken vision for the franchise. What they heck are they doing there on Michigan?
The Lions are continually faded in games because anyone can score on them.

Ryan thinks that Lamar and the boys will rip another hole through the roof of the Lions, with an easy victory to continue their AFC bravado.

Wade feels that the Ravens will tear off to an early lead, but fall victim to the resolve of the Lions who will look to TJ for late points to make this close.

Ryan- Ravens 34 Lions 23
Wade-Ravens 30 Lions 24

Washington (1-1) vs Bills (1-1) -7.5 +45.5

The Bills return home to northern New York, after disappointing home fans against the Steelers in their opener. Josh Allen has been fine, but not as great as people have hoped thus far.

Washington and their new QB haven’t been given much hope, and their D has shown a lot of nope in their first two games. It won’t be easy against a Bills D that stiffs the run with ease.

Ryan is all over his Bills, calling this one by 10000 points. He does think that the Bills should handle the new QB, as well as get the ball out deep to some Diggs action.

Wade sees the Bills once again struggling at home, but this time getting the win. Washington will use this one as a chance to get the D rocking again, and Josh Allen will struggle.

Ryan-Bills 38 Washington 20
Wade-Bills 24 Washington 18

Falcons (0-2) vs Giants (0-2) -3  +47.5

The Falcons can buy a win. Matt Ryan and the boys have been beaten by two top teams on their way to a battle against an equally struggling New York.

The Giants have all the hype, but no winning wipe. Daniel Jones is running from the devil every week, and it’s only a matter of time before that turns into an ugly scene unless he gets protection.

Ryan is believing in Atlanta one last time. He utters this phrase every season, but at varying intervals. This year we get it at week 3. He thinks that they can overcome the sad Giants to an upset.

Wade likes DJ, and is down on the home squad. Sterling Shepherd is on the fantasy list this week, as the Falcons will be forced contain a whole host of passing options.

Ryan- Falcons 27 Giants 23
Wade- Giants 24 Falcons 20

That’s it for this week, listen to the whole podcast to get all out picks and predictions.

Join the DraftKings contest and we’ll see you on Sunday!

The Party

Join us this Sunday as we host a DraftKings party live at the Sports Bar and Grill Old Street.

Our team will have a live DraftKings board hooked up to show all the players and results, so that you can watch as you climb up the ranks with every brilliant DFS move.

Reservations are recommended for this one, as we expect to have a busy night of great NFL games, cold beer and hot wings.

Come say hi to the team and you could win some fantastic DraftKings prizes as well.

The Contest

We have made the Florida Panhandle a $5 contest to keep it interesting.

With only a $5 entry and less than 250 players in the contest, the odds are pretty good that you have a shot at going to watch the Floridians fight it out in October, to win those NFL tickets.

It is a classic DK contest, featuring the 13 earliest games on Sunday September 26th 2021.

Week 15 Draftkings

by

Has somebody thought of throwing a challenge flag for the 2020 NFL season? As the world descends into further madness, we thought we would add a little joy to your Sunday with our Week 15 Draftkings picks.
If you haven’t been playing along with us this season, there is still time to play along for FREE or in PAID contests.
For many NFL fans, your fantasy season is over, but that doesn’t mean you still can’t play along with our Draftkings daily contests.
We have loads of fun trash-talking each other, and once all this virus nonsense is behind us-we look forward to meeting up with all of you in person again.

Until then, here are some of the top tips you might want to look at for Week 15 in the NFL.

QBs

Jared Goff $6300

Remember the fantasy adage for 2020…’Who are the Jets playing’? Well, this week it is the LA Rams, who have started to push the pedal down for the playoffs. It looks like the Jets are going to throw up a donut in the win column this year, and it’s kind of fun to watch Adam Gase implode. The Rams need to continue to win BIG in the rest of the regular season games, so it’s possible that LA beats the hell out of the Jets before halftime. Regardless, Goff will be a good value for the amount of points he will put up today.

Mitchell Trubisky $5300

Mitch was riding the pines for a good chunk of the season, until Nick Foles became ‘Nick Fails’ and put the nail in his own Bears coffin. Trubisky is auditioning for next season, so it’s no wonder that he is pulling out all the stops to stay in the NFL and avoid being a Walmart greeter.
In the past 2 games Mitch has looked great, moving the ball down the field easily with a balanced running and passing game. The Vikings have a weak secondary that Allen Robinson will find plenty of holes in.

RBs

Derek Henry $9500

Bling, bling baby! If you want to blow your wad this Sunday look no further than Derek Henry. The priciest of the bunch, it’s always hard to justify spending so much on one guy, when savvy bettors know that you can find value in the mid-tier players. With Henry playing a weakened Lions squad, you can easily see the Titans just letting Henry cook.

Cam Akers $6600

He’s back, he’s healthy, he’s scoring, and he’s playing the Jets. Akers has been a light in a running darkness for the Rams, so this game should be a good one to get his confidence up. If the Rams ramp up a big lead, they will rely on Akers to get the first downs.

WRs

DJ Chark $5000

Clark is healthy and ready to disrupt this week, as the Jags take on the Ravens in a big match. A few months ago the Ravens D brought with it fear and uncertainty, but seeing what the Browns did against them last week has dispelled that notion. Baltimore can be beat, and a stealthy WR will cause problems for them when he gets behind the lines. He’s averaging 11.9 fppg, which is a good deal for $5000.

Cooper Kupp $7000

Kupp is also playing the Jets, and has been finding big holes and gains all season. Kupp plays by his own tune, which is why he is found open so often as defences just don’t factor in t contain him. Kupp looks to have another big game against a horrendous Jets team.

Russell Gage $4700

With Julio Jones out, Gage is a great value play for Matt Ryan to hit on Sunday. Averaging 10.4 fppg, Gage has the wheels and hands to find some gaps in the Bucs D. It’s always good to see what value players you can get for under 5k, and Gage certainly dings that.

TE

Tyler Higbee $3800

Another Ram? Yep. Highbee has had an impressive year so far, and it should get even better on Sunday when he rips apart the Jets in the redzone. He’s too big and strong for the Jets to handle when they’re busy trying to cover Keenan Allen.

DEF

Bears $3200

The Bears play the Vikings on Sunday, but this game will be different than the one that was played a few weeks ago. The Bears are more invigorated from the desperate play of Mitch, and the D has responded by playing lights out football. They rattled Deshaun Watson relentlessly in week 14, and they should be ripped to take the head off of Cousins in this divisional match.

NFL in London League

If you want to play along with us every Sunday, make sure you join our Draftkings League here.
It’s called ‘NFL in London’, and we play every week.
