DFS Amateur Hour - Tuesday Lineups

I lit $20 on fire yesterday, bringing my bankroll down to $1306.24. Today I set five $25 Super Grand Slam entries, one of which I won last week, i.e., I invested $100. It turns out I probably should have gone in for more as there's massive overlay in that contest with 41,023 entries and a $1.5 million payout. If you do the math, Fanduel took in $1,025,575 and is paying out nearly 1.5 times that.

Here are my lineups:
