Was that the roughest W1 for survivor pools ever?

[C.Biscuit97]

I think I have lost 3 out of 4 years in the first round. It’s a gift! Thanks colts!

[Rampage]

I took Tennessee because I wanted to save KC and Baltimore for future weeks and think Tennessee are going to take a big step back this year so getting a mid-tier team on the board for a win would be ideal. So much for that!

Whelp, there I go. Broncos screwed me over. So yes, it was a bad week for survivor pools. I should have found a home team to pick.

Question:. I picked the Colts to beat the Texans in my TBD survivor league.  Since the game ended in a tie, am I still eliminated? Or am I still alive?

Eliminated because they did not win.

I had Baltimore in one and Denver in the other. I am still confident about Denver. Geno, can't win.... can he?

He usually can't, but Nate Hackett had other plans.

In my survivor pool, 60% got knocked-out, including my own.  I still have 12 picks (I started with 30).  I knew I should have stuck with my original plan of taking the Ravens with all of them!

In the TBD survivor pool, only 34 out of 100 are left. Insane after only 1 week.

49ers...ugh

As soon as I saw the weather in the pregame I pulled every player in that game from fantasy lineups. Weather like that is too unpredictable

In draftkings survivor ties are wins so got lucky with Ind

I am still in the main TBD one. I went Baltimore. I took a risk in the money one and lose my first strike week 1.

It's happened before, I forgot what year, but so many people were eliminated because one particular team lost, that SDS opened it back up to everyone on Week 2.

Out of 135 people 47 were eliminated - 35%

 

14 had SF, 13 Tenn, 11 Cinci, 4 Rams, 2 Panthers, 1 each Jest, Atl, Pats

 

5 have Denver tonight

Make that 52 out of 135...38.5%. That's almost a third!

[NewEra]

I got cute, messed around and picked the titans——— 🤣 

[Albany,n.y.]

After Denver my pool is down by 39%.  Lost 148 out of 377.

I mean, wow.  Depending on your pool, either 4 of the top 5 or 5 of the top 6 most popular picks went down:  Indy, Cinci, Tennessee, San Fran, and in some pools Carolina.

 

The two pools I’m in lost 56 and 57% of their entries, respectively, and if Seattle somehow upsets Denver tonight that will go up.

 

Thankfully I had three entries in each and only lost one (damn Colts).

 

Crazy stuff.

 

 

 

The 1st week is always crazy, but this one was exceptional.

 

60.5% of the entries in my pool are out. 

 

My pool has a post first week buyback that I planned to use. I picked the worst team I could find, so I'd have a better team left in the later weeks. I picked the Texans. And in the 3rd quarter it looked like they were going to win, so I wouldn't have to pay but had still picked a crap team. Then the damn Colts forced a tie. Shoot! Not the worst result, but I do have to pay to re-enter.
