with survivor, you can't get too wrapped up in saving teams. Most people who do that get bounced in the first few weeks. Unless it's an absolutely huge pool, there won't be many people left after 7 or 8 weeks anyway, so you often won't even have the opportunity to take whatever teams you were saving for the end. I've been playing survivor for years and I pick each week by isolating a few teams that I'm very confident will win. Then I can break it down to see which ones have games in the future I might want to save them for.
I'm gonna begin picking good teams over poor teams next week, because a lot of teams have Divisional games towards the end anyway, and those games always are tough. That was really my only strategy going into this. Got a nice pool going of over $1,000 right now, so I gotta be smart with it.
fantasy note: Peyton Manning was almost universally ranked as the #1 QB for this week. 0 TDs, one pick, under 200 passing yards with 11 minutes left
