Thursday Night Showdown Slate Article- Titans @ Jaguars

If you have been playing Showdown slates then you know just how volatile they can be and how one player can make the difference between winning six figures or losing.  Monday night was an extremely painful scenario for me that didn’t just come down to one player, but one play that cost me six figures.  First let me show you my Showdown Team (all players that I discussed in my Showdown Column-  Captain- Chubb, Beckham Jr, Browns D, Seibert, Bell, and D Johnson.

Now let me show you the team that split 1st place for $107,000.

Captain- Beckham Jr, Chubb, Browns D, Seibert, Bell, and D Johnson.

That is correct, I had the exact players, I just had Chubb and Beckham swapped in the Captain spot or I would have won six figures.  If not for the 89 yard touchdown by Beckham Jr, the end result likely would have been much different.  This shows just how tough these types of contests are and how tens of thousands of dollars can change hands by less than 1 DK point.  It is also an example of how important the Captain position is.  In almost all cases you will need the highest scorer of the game to be in the Captain slot.

Even though it was heart breaking, I know that I could not have been more correct in the game script that I developed in my head and the players that I targeted.  If we continue to smash the core of players that hard, we will hit a big one, and it is not a matter of if, but when.

Good luck this Thursday with the Titans and Jags.
