Escot4 Turned $2 into $2,000,000 to become the 2014 WFFC Champion! 

  That's no typo - in Week 15, Scott Hanson, a FanDuel rookie who played his first game in September took down $2 million! That prize is the largest single payout in the history of fantasy sports - and it happened to a guy with $35 in TOTAL entry fees prior to the finals. A 1,000,000x ROI on his first game! 

  This is the greatest story daily fantasy sports has ever produced - and what better way could there be to get new users in the door? Once they see the champ in front of the private jet hired by FanDuel to take him home, holding his $2,000,000 check, who WOULDN'T want to be him??

  Even second place took home $1,000,000 - the same prize as last year's champion! 2nd place finisher Vahomeboy also made it to Las Vegas from the $2 qualifier - so don't let your readers forget that there's a real chance for every bankroll to reach the finals!

    -The top winners were new to FanDuel, and won their seats in the $2 weekly qualifiers. 

  -The winner, Escot4, got flown home in a private jet! 

  -First place got $2m, second place $1m, 3rd place $500k. Total payout of the live final - $7,000,000

  -The event featured VIP nights out all over Las Vegas, at hot venues like Marquee Nightclub, Hakkasan Nightclub, Twin Peaks and the Cosmopolitan Hotel&Casino

  -Many finalists got to take a private helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon, among other awesome activities hosted by FanDuel.

Fantasy Hockey Top 30 Goalies

No matter where you go, goalie coaches around the NHL are of similar opinion. The best goaltenders in the world rarely have two bad games in a row.

FANTASY HOCKEY ANALYSIS

The 2014-15 NHL season is in full swing, so NHL.com has you covered with weekly fantasy hockey positional rankings, real-time spin updates and waiver wire advice.

Considering how often we have documented the rise of talent over the past three years, now more than ever, goalies simply can't expect to remain fantasy-relevant amidst a losing streak.

A perfect example recently transpired with the Colorado Avalanche.

Reto Berra stopped 123 of 132 shots in four preseason games (a .932 save percentage) as well as 104 of 112 shots (a .929 save percentage) through his first four regular-season games (2-0-1). But after suffering consecutive home losses against the Toronto Maple Leafs (Nov. 6) and Washington Capitals two weeks later (Nov. 20), the hot start had started to wear off. Then things suddenly changed.

On Nov. 22, Berra gave up three goals on 10 shots in the first 16:50 against the Carolina Hurricanes. Then on Nov. 25, he gave up three goals on his first eight shots to the Arizona Coyotes. Some of those goals came through heavy traffic or shots off his own teammates, but regardless of fault or shot quality, after that game against Arizona, it was the Calvin Pickard show in Colorado for a stretch until Pickard was returned to the American Hockey League earlier this week.

This proves expectations are so high for NHL goalies that even two bad starts can damage their reputation as a reliable asset. Backups have an even tougher time posting quality starts following a loss, because they not only play less frequently, but they often play on the tail end of a back-to-back set.

Ultimately, it comes as no surprise that the top two goalies in our latest top-30 fantasy rankings have the best bounce-back stats (performances following a regulation or overtime loss) so far this season.

The Nashville Predators' Pekka Rinne is a perfect 4-0-0 in games following a loss with a near-flawless .972 save percentage, stopping 104 of 107 shots including a 31-save shutout on Oct. 17. That's more fuel to his Vezina Trophy fire, especially when you consider his comeback from injury woes last season.

STATS PRIOR TO DEC. 4 GAMES

RECORD: 14-4-1 GAA: 2.08 | SVP: .928

The Pittsburgh Penguins' Marc-Andre Fleury now has a perfect 5-0-0 record in games after a loss. He has stopped 144 of 149 shots in those games (.966 save percentage), including two shutouts.

Tuukka Rask of the Boston Bruins is 5-1-1 in seven games following a loss with a .923 save percentage. Jonathan Quick of the Los Angeles Kings is 5-3-1 with a .934 save percentage. Neither has lost more than two games in a row in regulation this season. The other top-five goalie, Ben Bishop of the Tampa Bay Lightning, is 4-1-0 in five games with a .949 save percentage, and like Crawford, he too has not allowed more than two goals against in games directly following a loss.

The Chicago Blackhawks' Corey Crawford may feel embarrassed about his recent off-ice injury, but not his bounce-back skills. He's 5-1-0 in six games with a .951 save percentage and one shutout. More importantly, he has not allowed more than two goals in any of the six games following a loss.

STATS PRIOR TO DEC. 4 GAMES

RECORD: 11-5-4 GAA: 2.23 | SVP: .916

The Detroit Red Wings' Jimmy Howard is 5-1-1 in seven bounce-back games with a .940 save percentage and one shutout. He has not lost consecutive games in regulation yet this season.

However, not every fantasy-relevant goalie is having success in this situation. Carey Price of the Montreal Canadiens is 4-2-0 in six games following a loss, but with an .899 save percentage. Jaroslav Halak of the New York Islanders is 1-3-0 with an .881 save percentage in games following a loss. Ryan Miller of the Vancouver Canucks is 4-0-0 following a loss, but has a .903 save percentage, allowing three or more goals in three of those games.

Regardless of how they happen, losses kill. They can wreck your weekly matchups and they can turn your Sunday Fun-day into a miserable Monday. But if you know who is more likely to bounce back from those losses, you'll have more confidence making those tricky lineup decisions when the situation arises.

Week 13 Fantasy Football Projections

Top Dog: Andrew Luck, Indianapolis Colts

Luck had 253 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win against the Jaguars. It was only the second time all season he'd had less than 300 yards passing or fewer than two touchdowns, and the first time he'd done the trick in the same game. 

Odds are that won't be happening again.

Washington had the league's 29th-ranked pass defense according to Football Outsiders' DVOA metric coming into this week. While that number may improve a bit after the team held Colin Kaepernick to a rather nondescript performance, Washington is still out there closing its eyes and hoping David Amerson and Bashaud Breeland morph into an elite cornerback duo overnight.

Probably not gonna happen against the league's most prolific passing attack. Sign up at Fanduel for a one week league now........
