10/17 NHL DFS Centers

Mika Zibanejad (FD $7,600 | DK $7,800) – He will highlight the top line of the Hudson River Rivalry that is set to take place tonight. Unfortunately for the Devils, they have yet to win a game this season. They are giving up the second-highest goals allowed per game in the league at 4.5 goals allowed, keeping them steadily in the last place. In just three games, Zibanejad has scored eight points (four goals, four assists), giving him the highest points per game this season by far.

Paul Stastny (FD $5,400 | DK $6,200) – Member of the biggest line lock of the night, Stastny and Company will be going up against the lowly Sens, who are settling at third-last in the league with one win and four losses to start the season. With the game in Vegas, Ottawa will need a prayer and that might not even do it. Stastny’s price has remained relatively cheap despite being on the highest producing line on his team and bagging six points in his last three games (three goals, three assists).
Honorable Mention: Sean Couturier

10/17 NHL DFS Wingers

JT Miller (FD $5,600 | DK $4,700) – Miller has been on fire to start the season and has proven to be one of the Canucks’ best offseason pickups. Miller leads the team in scoring given that he scored six points in his last three games (three goals, three assists). Miller has been averaging around 18 minutes of ice-time per game but given his recent performances, it wouldn’t be a surprise if that increased. Not to mention he appears on the Canucks deadly top power-play unit. Finally, Miller will be playing against the Blues, who have had a rather mediocre start to the season and have coughed up a fair amount of goals, 3.33 per game to be exact. I wouldn’t be surprised if Miller got on the end of one of them.

David Pastrnak (FD $8,500 | DK $7,500) – Pastrnak is simply an elite winger, if you’re looking for a low-owned play with a safe floor Pastrnak is your guy, as he leads the Bruins with 10 points in six games, followed by his linemates Marchand and Bergeron. Last game, Pastrnak lit up one of the league’s best in John Gibson for four goals en route to his team’s 4-2 win over the Ducks last Monday.
HM: Nick Schmaltz

10/17 NHL DFS Defensemen

Alexander Edler (FD $5,800 | DK $6,300) – Vancouver’s lead power powerplay defenseman has registered four points in his last three games and has averaged a whopping 25 minutes of average ice-time throughout the season. It is clear coach Travis Green has faith in the veteran Swede and given the leakage, the Blues have been prone to thus far this season, Edler holds value as a stack option alongside the Canucks’ top line (Miller, Pettersson, Boeser)

Jacob Trouba (FD $5,800 | DK $6,000) – Much like his teammate, Zibanejad Trouba hit the ground running in his first three games of the season with a goal and three assists while averaging 24 minutes of ice-time per game. Trouba carries a price tag on the higher end but works well in a Rangers stack alongside Buchnevich, Panarin and Zibanejad, given that they all play together on the Rangers top power play unit.
HM: Shea Theodore, Ryan Ellis

10/17 NHL DFS Goalies

Pekka Rinne (FD $8,700 | DK $8,000) – Rinne is a perfect 4-0-0 to start the season and will have one of the best offensive teams in front of him with a CF% of 51.48. The Preds also lead the league in goals and have the sixth-highest shots per game total in the league. Rinne will be pricey but if you’re looking for a safe play between the pipes Rinne is the way to go.

Carter Hutton (FD $8,500 | DK $7,800) – Hutton has been as good as Rinne if not better. He too holds a perfect 4-0-0 record and holds an extremely low 1.74 GAA. The Kings shoot a lot but don’t turn the offensive production into goals nearly enough, as they are currently hovering around the middle of the league in goals per game while posting the second-most shots on goal per game in the league. Furthermore, the Kings have started the season on the back foot with a 2-4-0 record and look to be starting Jonathan Quick, who holds an abysmal stat line at 0-3-0, a GAA of 6.44 and a Save Percentage below .800.
HM: Alexander Georgiev

10/17 NHL DFS STACKS & CASH PLAY OF THE NIGHT

Vegas Golden Knights 2 – This line should be an auto-lock tonight. Stat-wise this line is far and away the most intriguing option and with that will come the super high ownership, especially in cash. This is the good kind of chalk and given the price of some of their player such as Stastny and Theodore, they are surprisingly stackable with other strong options tonight.
HM: New York Rangers 1 (Zibanejad, Panarin, Trouba), Buffalo Sabres 1 (Reinhart, Eichel, Olofsson)

10/17 NHL DFS Game Stacks

Vancouver vs St. Louis – Both of these teams are very offensive-minded, with both teams averaging over three goals a game. The optimal game stack would be Vancouver’s top line alongside St. Louis’ second line, and alternatively their first line. Statistically, these two teams are very evenly matched and this game could turn into a shootout.

10/17 NHL DFS Punts
Calle Jarnkrok (FD $3,600 | DK $3,500) – Jarnkrok will be playing on Nashville’s top line and although Kuemper has had his moments to start the season. The Preds are leading the league in goals with 4.67 per game, one of which came from Jarnkrok last game. Over his past three games, Jarnkrok has had four assists and has steadily been seeing an increase in ice-time each and every game. If Forsberg is held out of tonight’s contest the winger will be set to see even more ice time. The fact that he plays on the Preds’ top power play unit only adds to his value.

Quinn Hughes (FD $4,000 | DK $3,700) – Quinn has had his moments this season but has largely been overshadowed by the success of his defensive teammate Alexander Edler. In a pinch, Hughes still provides excellent value as he has registered three points in his first five games while averaging 20 minutes of ice time per night and playing on the Canucks second power-play unit. Hughes is the future of Vancouver’s defensive core and will definitely be in the mix when considering low owned Canuck plays tonight. Hughes pairs well alongside Tanner Pearson.

10/15 NHL DFS: The Daily Hot Shot

Allan Fabrykant 5 years ago

written by Allan Fabrykant

Hope everyone had a good DFS Weekend and a happy belated Thanksgiving to all our Canadian readers. Tonight we are presented with an seven-game 10/15 NHL DFS slate, so let’s get underway.

10/15 NHL DFS Centers

Auston Matthews (FD $8,800 | DK $8,100) – Clear cut chalk of the night, unavoidable nonetheless. It looks like the Wild, who played in Ottawa last night, will be icing their starter Devan Dubnyk, who has held a GAA of 4.55 and a save percentage of .862. Not to mention that the Leafs have been averaging four goals a game (fourth in the league) and 35.2 shots per game (fifth in the league) with Matthews (6G, 1A) as their lead scorer. Matthews can’t stop putting the puck in the net and I doubt he’d spoil a golden opportunity to pad his stats.

Paul Statsny (FD $5,100 | DK $5,100) – Although the Golden Knights and the Predators are fairly evenly matched at first look, the stats tell a different story. While Vegas has been relatively good at keeping the puck out of their net, the same cannot be said for the Preds, who are averaging 4.2 goals against per game, tying them for third worst in the league along with the aformentioned Nashville Predators. Both the Preds and Golden Knights find themselves at the around top of the league in both goals scored and shots on goal per game. Vegas in particular has benefitted tremendously from the production of their second line, centered by Paul Statsny, with Max Pacioretty and Mark Stone on the wings.
Honorable Mention: Sean Couturier

10/15 NHL DFS Wingers

Andrei Svechnikov (FD $5,500 | DK $6,400) – A goal and seven assists in six games. This has truly been a tremendous start for the young winger. Svech will get an opportunity to improve his stats tonight at home in PNC against a shocking goaltender in Jonathan Quick, who in three games has allowed 19 goals for a 6.44 GAA and a .793 SV%. Carolina is a strong target tonight in general and given the strong start from the phenom he will be a prime option tonight at his price.

Patrik Laine (FD $8,000 | DK $8,000) – I wish he was just a little cheaper since he has been playing so well it would be great to be able to fit him with more great options in tonight’s slate. Laine has been leading his team with 11 points in just seven games, earning a move to the top line in the process. He will be up against solid goaltending in Antti Raanta but Laine is just too talented and will get the better of his countryman. His price (and his linemates’ prices) turns me off a bit given the risk but will be well worth it as a GPP play
HM: Oskar Lindblom

10/15 NHL DFS Defensemen

Ivan Provorov (FD $4,700 | DK $5,400) – Provorov has been seeing anywhere from 22-25 minutes in Philadelphia’s first three games, averaging a point per game in those contests. Provorov is the most stackable defenseman in tonight’s slate as he pairs well with both top lines on the Flyers. Last season, Provorov’s stats took a dip, however, given his hot start this season, there is no reason why he can’t reach the pace he set seasons prior. Not to mention, the Flames do give up a lot of goals and Provorov will be on the second power play unit.

Quinn Hughes (FD $4,300 | DK $4,000) – Hughes is beginning to hit the stride that was expected of him at the start of the season, with three points in four games, leading the Canucks defensemen in scoring. He has been averaging over 20 minutes a night and will be facing off against a weak defensive side in the Red Wings while skating on the second power play unit.
HM: Rasmus Andersson

10/15 NHL DFS Goalies

Frederik Andersen (FD $8,600 | DK $8,400) – The fact is the Wild just havent been scoring this season, residing among the bottom of the league in goals per game. The Leafs have been allowing goals in bunches but given their high favorability tonight it look like the Leafs are set to put on a clinic in front of the hometown fans

Petr Mrazek (FD $7,600 | DK $7,900) – Carolina is heavily favored in tonight’s matchup and given Mrazek’s price he will be a hot commodity tonight. With a perfect 5-1 record the surging Canes hold one of the leagues better goals against average, while also letting in a moderate amount of shots. The teams are tied in Corsi leading them to have similar offensive production to this point, but the Canes have the edge in both Fenwick and Shooting For Percentage.
HM: Connor Hellebuyck, Thatcher Demko (First start of the season)

10/15 NHL DFS STACKS

Toronto Maple Leafs 2 – This is the most stackable line in the slate and given that they will be up against some atrocious goaltending they ought to have high ownership. This line has had slightly better production than Torontos top line and at a much more affordable price. I like two-player stacks from this line for cash (Matthews with one of his wingers) and possibly a three-player stack from this line in a GPP (Matthews, Johnsson and Nylander)
HM: Carolina Hurricanes 2 (Svechnikov, Staal, Pesce)

10/15 NHL DFS Game Stacks

Tampa Bay vs Montreal – Both teams have strong offensive production and have had shaky goaltending from their “well-established” starters. Both have high implied totals and given that Montreal is a little undervalued its is possible to game stack this matchup. Tampa’s top line is the only one I’d consider stacking in this game and there is some leeway with Montreal as their top line as well as their third line both look suitable in a game stack. Given current point totals I’d give the edge to Montreal’s third line, take into account that Montreal’s top three lines generally see similar minutes as the talent is spread out around the roster.

10/15 NHL DFS Punts
Erik Haula (FD $5,500 | DK $5,800) – On top of facing off against garbage goaltending, Haula has truly been spectacular this season. With five goals in six games, he has truly made a statement on Carolina’s third line, his production raises the value of his linemates Necas and Dzingel and his performance has earned him a spot centering Carolina’s second powerplay unit alongside Svechnikov and Hamilton. With a 27.8% shooting percentage (not gonna last) he is well worth the price.

Ilya Mikheyev (FD $4,100 | DK $4,000) – Mikhevey has been another standout third liner this season and will also be facing shaky goaltending tonight. While averaging around 16 minutes of ice-time per night Mikheyev has found himself with five goals through the Leafs first six games along with a goal and an assist last game against the Red Wings. The Gagarin Cup finalist has had success plying his trade in the NHL and at his price he is worth the risk.
HM: Sean Walker, Anthony Mantha

10/15 NHL DFS Cash Plays
Auston Matthews – See Above ^^
Dougie Hamilton (FD $6,200 | DK $6,700) – Everything is appealing about Dougie, except for his price. It makes it difficult to fit in other high quality options, however in a cash situation Hamilton is more than optimal in a two-player stack with someone like Haula or Svechnikov. Dougie leads all Canes defensemen in scoring and is tied for the lead in overall team scoring with four goals and four assists, while seeing around 23 minutes of ice time per game. As mentioned previously, Carolina will be facing off against some less than satisfactory goaltending and hold one of the highest implied goal totals of the slate.

9/21 DFS Pitching and Prop Picks: Manaea is the Man

jason mezrahi 5 years ago

written by jason mezrahi

I’m looking to follow up some great MLB DFS picks from last night with another batch of winning hurlers. It’s a nine-game slate with a couple big names and some fabulous value plays among a pretty large mess of unreliable arms and likely pitch counts. But I know we’re going to find some gems in this edition of 9/21 DFS pitching picks.

Sign up NOW for WIN DAILYPremium Gold right here! Projections,wagering info, 24/7 expert chats and more!

9/21 DFS Pitching Cash Game Plays

SeanManaea, OAK vs. TEX

DK ($9,800) FD($9,200)

Manaea is a huge home favorite (-340), he’s backed by a potent offensewith a high implied total (6.00), and the Rangers offense has been scufflinglately. Over the course of the season, Texas has struck out at a 25.7% rate, whichis third worst among MLB teams. Manaea (2-0, 0.50 ERA in three starts this season) gave up justthree hits and one walk while striking out six through 6.0 scoreless IP againstthis same Rangers team on Sunday – in a much tougher hitting environment inArlington. I feel comfortable going right back to the well in cash games andGPPs, as the 27-year-old hurler had 11 swinging strikes and 19 called strikesin that last outing.

Jose Berrios, MIN vs. KC

DK ($10,900) FD ($9,400)

The Twins are large favorites against the Royals and while I don’t like Berrios for a monster K game here in 9/21 DFS, he’s still a viable cash game play with the Kansas City implied run total languishing at just 3.39. Keep an eye on the weather before this one locks, because we could see a late start – but deploy him with confidence in a slate lacking in elite pitching options. The Twins offense should get him a win, and on FanDuel he could easily notch a quality start bonus – as he’s gone at least 6 IP and has given up less than 3 ER in three of his last four starts.

9/21 DFS Pitching GPP Plays

WalkerBuehler, LAD vs. COL

DK ($12,300) FD($11,100)

Buehler willlikely be on a pitch count, so he’s way too expensive for cash gamesconsidering he’s likely looking at around 5-6 IP. Still, his low WHIP (1.01) andelite strikeout rate (29.4%) mean he very well could fan 10 hitters even onsuch a short leash. The Rockies may have gotten a few licks on Clayton Kershawlast night, but they have a team K rate of 23.7% and shouldn’t have muchsuccess against this dominant young arm.

MaxFried, ATL vs. SF

DK ($8,500) FD ($8,600)

Fried (16-6, 4.25 ERA) allowed five runs on six hits while striking out just two hitters (and walking three Nationals) in just 2.1 innings in Washington during his last outing, but he’s a much better pitcher at home this season and he draws a great matchup against the Giants. Fried has been battered a bit in two consecutive starts and has given up at least three earned runs in five of his last six starts, but that should help keep some of the ownership off him here in a start where he looks like he could get a little chalky for the DFS Pros. There’s plenty to like once you check out the home/away splits in a little more detail and take into account the sometimes punchless Giants offense.

9/21 DFS Pitching Punt Plays

JohnnyCueto, SF at ATL

DK ($9,600) FD($7,800)

I’m a lot more interested in Cueto as a GPP play on FD, where he’s essentially a punt at 7,800 and doesn’t have to keep guys off base. The veteran should have a much easier path to making value by striking out a handful of Braves, even if he gets knocked out after 4 innings. There’s plenty of risk here because Cueto only has 6 Ks in his last 10 IP, but the price is right for FD GPPs and I’m looking for some contrarian angles in the mid-tier since Fried might be a little more chalky. Grabbing the other side of that chalk could pay off.

Justus Sheffield, SEA at BAL

DK ($7,900) FD ($7,300)

Once again, it’s a huge risk playing Sheffield in a hitter’s park like Camden Yards, but few pitchers on this slate have better strikeout potential against a weak opponent like the Orioles, and there’s an outside chance his team gets him a lead and a possible win. Forget the fact that he hasn’t notched a win in 2019 yet and focus on the metrics: He’s carrying a 10.13 K/9, 4.22 xFIP and 4.41 SIERA through his appearances despite an admittedly bad ERA, but his 12.4 SwStr% is promising.

You have to take some chances to win GPPs and I’ll have my fair share of Sheffield lineups on FD, though he’s a much riskier play on DK with such a high walk rate (4.91 BB/9 in his career).

Monkey Knife Fight Picks of the Day – Play These Picks Today and Get 100 Percent Bonus!

Jose Berrios Under 6.5 Strikeouts

Berrios is a solid pitcher, but he hasn’t been dominant in too many games back-to-back this season. These Royals will be focused on putting the ball in play after chalking up 11 team Ks in 33 ABs last night, and they only had 3 total Ks against Berrios in a June meeting.

Play MLB Player Prop Games and Get 100 Percent Bonus!

Zach Davies Under 3.5 Strikeouts

Davies doesn’t miss bats and could have an early night against a Pirates lineup sporting a 19.5 team K% — and has whiffed just 13 times in their last 23.1 IP against him. I fully expect the Pirates to have more success against Brewers pitching in this one, and knock Davis out of there before he gets to 4 Ks.

NFL DFS: Defense Strategy

Capper Steve 5 years ago

written by Capper Steve

Daily Fantasy Football is all about offensive players right? Nope! You would be surprised how impactful the defense that you roster in your lineup has on your overall output. Especially when it comes to your GPP lineups. So what is the best way to select one when it comes to cash and GPP games? In this article, we will discuss when to pay up or save when it comes to defense and what factors you need to consider when selecting which one to start in your lineup.

Defense Wins Championships

It often times is vastly overlooked, but the defense plays an integral role in taking down a GPP. The reason for this is because the scoring is extremely volatile and can create a significant edge. With the scoring so touchdown-dependent the top performing defense is often the result of some fluky plays.

There are two major factors you want to consider. A defense that is playing a very bad offense is a great place to start. One that may be starting a backup quarterback, for example, is a great option even if that defense is statistically poor. The other option is selecting a defense that is playing an offense that projects a game script with high passing volume. The more dropbacks and passing attempts a team has, that will result in more opportunities for turnovers and sacks.

Those two factors can be applied to both cash and GPP games. However, with cash games, you do not need to avoid the real chalky defenses, whereas with GPPs you should avoid them. Anything over 20% projected ownership is definitely a fade for GPPs. When in doubt save salary at defense. Do not ever swap out a player you like in a specific slate, to select a defense that your projection has higher ranked. Chances are the change will not benefit you.

DraftKings Millionaire Maker

In the DraftKings Millionaire Maker contest in 2018 here were the main takeaways from winning lineups when it came to defensive selections. I have listed out the approaches from both ownership and salary perspectives.

30% used lineups where defenses were $3000 or more.
The other 70% all used lineups that were under $3000.
Of the lineups above $3000 as well, 80% of those were over $3500

This means that you should tend to save salary at defense or pay up all the way if that top defense is in a smashing spot. Smashing spots would include a backup quarterback playing an elite defense on the road. For ownership projections, it’s the middle-tiered ownership that was used most frequently.

70% were between 5% – 20% owned.
30% were under 5% or over 20%

With defense, it is not necessarily about going super chalky or super contrarian. Just try to find value with price and potential output in mind. For the most part, you are playing defenses in cash and GPPs similarly except when it comes to ownership projections. The other strategy to point out is you can actually stack when it comes to defenses. You can learn more about NFL DFS stacking here.

Defensive Stacking

There are two strategies in which you can stack defensively. One is stacking a defense with their respective lead running back. The idea here is that the team’s defense will play well and the offense will complement the defense by running the ball a ton. These are great stacks to use, especially in cash games where you are looking for average production for your defense. You are paying up at running back anyway in cash games so it makes selecting your defense pretty simple.

The other stacking strategy with defense is with a WR/RB that is used on special teams as a kick returner or punt returner. On some Daily Fantasy sites like DraftKings, you can often “double-dip” if a special teams touchdown is scored by an offensive player. For example, if your roster Tyler Lockett and the Seattle Seahawks defense/special teams, you would score 12 points for a special teams touchdown instead of just six. Again the idea behind winning GPPs is finishing extremely high so you are looking to maximize the upside.

Personal Player Pool

**I’m personally fading Dustin Johnson this week. This is a high risk maneuver. Johnson is in a tier of his own in this field. With implied ownership around 25% – 30%, I’ll look elsewhere in hopes his recent poor putting performances continue.**

Players priced between $9,000 and $12,000

Gary Woodland – $10,900
Elite ball striker who’s coming off a win at the U.S. Open. I’m not sure why his projected ownership is lower than everyone else in the price range, but I love it. (Projected Ownership – 15%, Exposure 33%)

Hideki Matsuyama – $10,200
Another elite ball striker, with Poa greens being his best putting splits. Top 5 in the field in terms of DraftKings points and #1 overall in Opportunities Gained. Matsuyama will be chalky like Johnson but with better putting numbers. (PO – 22%, Ex – 44%)

Ryan Moore – $9,500
Moore has the reputation of being a Donald Ross course killer. Looking at the numbers I tend to agree. He’s 16th in Strokes Gained Total and 24th in DraftKings points at Donald Ross courses. Moore had a terrific Sunday at the Travelers Championship and I look forward to him continuing his run at the Rocket Mortgage Classic. (PO – 18 %, Ex – 34%)
,
Patrick Reed – $9,300
Reed, like Moore does extremely well on DR courses. He’s 4th in SG:TOT and 5th in scoring points. Reed, unlike Moore, though, doesn’t have the recent form to back him up. If you’re looking for a pivot from the higher owned Moore, Reed is your man. (PO – 5%, Ex – 21%)

Players priced between $8,000 and $8,900

Sungjae Im – $8,800
Sungjae Im is my pivot off the more expensive, higher owned Billy Horschel. Im can flat out score DK points. Yes, he scores more bogies than you would like but he’s 15th in both points and Par 5 scoring. With three of the four Par 5s reachable in two, I’ll forgive him for the bogies. (PO – 10%, Ex – 28%)

Bubba Watson – $8,700
Another golfer who enjoys a Donald Ross course, 8th in SG:TOT and 27 in DK points. Watson should enjoy the wider than average fairways and bomb the golf ball throughout the course. Though he sits just inside the cut line of the model at 50th overall, he’s 9th in ball striking and 17th in Par 5 scoring. (PO – 8%, Ex – 25%)

Kevin Streelman – $8,600
If you read my article The Range you will have seen that Streelman is ranked 4th (along with DJ) in combined satellite stats. His popularity has risen over the week but I’m sticking with him and his 17th ranked ball striking. (PO – 20%, Ex – 31%)

Viktor Hovland – $8,400
In the three previous tournaments before the Rocket Mortgage Classic, Hovland gained 20.8 strokes Tee to Green (14.8 Off The Tee)! If Hovland can find his putter, this rookie will be winning sooner rather than later. (PO – 13%, Ex – 31%)

Jason Kokrak – $8,300
Kokrak lost 7.2 strokes putting (I didn’t believer that was even possible) last week to miss the cut at the Travelers Championship. Though Kokrak putts better on Bermuda greens, I’m going back to him. He is Top 10 in ball striking and 20th in DraftKings points, I like his chances in a much weaker field. (PO – 8%, Ex 26%)

Kevin Tway – $8,100
In Tway’s last 5 tournaments, he’s gaining 2.2 stokes Tee to Green. Coming off a fifth place finish last week, I like where Tway’s game is. A bomber who can take advantage of his length off the tee and attack the Par 5s. (PO – 12%, Ex – 25%)

Players priced between $7,500 and $7,900

Byeong An – $7,900
An is a brilliant golfer off the tee, gaining strokes 10 out of the last 12 tournaments. If An can ever develop a short game, the golf world better watch out. He missed the cut last week but prior he had back to back Top 20’s. With the weaker field, I’ll go back to the well. (PO – 10%, Ex – 22%)

Luke List – $7,700
This is really the only time I like to roster List, courses where he can bomb the ball and weaker fields. List has not played well as of late and this is strictly a GPP play but at sub 10% ownership, I’ll take a stab. (PO – 7%, Ex – 21%)

Sung Kang – $7,600
Here is Kang’s last five golf tournament finishes, 78th, MC, 7th, 1st, MC. To say he’s inconsistent would be an understatement. I view Kang as a better Luke List. A golfer who can drive the ball and score points. (PO – 14%, Ex – 25%)

Vaughn Taylor – $7,600
Taylor is finally getting some love outside of Data Golf’s World Rank. Taylor is five for five in made cuts and has three Top 20 finishes in the same span. He is about as safe as you can find here in this price range. (PO – 14%, Ex 26%)

Nick Watney – $7,600
I wrote up Watney last week and while he stumbled a bit on Sunday, he perfomed very well. I’m coming right back to him this week, though he won’t be as low owned as he was at the Travelers. Watney is one of the better golfers at positioning himself for birdie in the field. (PO – 13%, Ex – 25%)

Bud Cauley – $7,500
Cauley has a nice mid to short game that really puts himself in contention to score points. His off the tee game tends to get him in trouble, I believe he can take advantage of the wider than tour average fairways. Cauley is also 10th overall on Donald Ross courses. (PO – 6%, Ex – 23%)

Peter Malnati – $7,500
Malnati has been playing some really consistent golf as of late. He’s made the last five cuts and gaining 3.4 strokes with his approaches. Going back 7 weeks he only has one missed cut and four Top 30s along the way. Along with Taylor another steady cash game option. (PO – 11%, Ex – 23%)

Player priced between $6,600 and $7,400

Danny Lee – $7,300
When i started looking up golfers for the Rocket Mortgage Classic, I was surprised to see Lee’s name pop up. He has an excellent putter but more importantly, he’s ranked 33rd in the field in DraftKings scoring. Lee is a cheap, low owned flier. (PO – 2%, Ex – 13%)

Matt Jones – $7,000
Jones at one point had a stretch of six Top 40’s with three Top 20’s. With his ability to score points on both Par 4s and Par 5s, hes worth a shot to regain some of his previous form. (PO – 5%, Ex – 15%)

Troy Merritt – $7,000
Merritt has been up and down over the last few tournaments but hes gained 3.8 strokes tee to green over his last five. He has a solid approach game and can really turn it on with the short Par 4’s. (PO – 10%, Ex – 20%)

Hank Lebioda – $6,900
His finishes have not illustrated his talent. In this field he is Top 40 in ball striking, deck to green, par 5 scoring and DK points. He placed 51st last week and 14th the week prior. Those last two tournaments were a much stronger field. Sign me up! (PO – 12%, Ex – 28%)

Sepp Straka – $6,900
Straka is another ball striking DK point scoring golfer. All he needs to do is make the cut to return value. (PO – 11%, Ex – 24%)

Scott Stallings – $6,700
A 100% pure flier!! He will most likely be less than 1% owned. He does well on Par 5’s. I have too much, I know. (PO – 1%, Ex – 13%)

Sam Ryder – $6,300
My final ball striking, DK point producing golfer for the Rocket Mortgage Classic. He’s 29th in ball striking, 33rd in opportunity gained, 31st in Par 5 scoring and 38th in DraftKing points. (PO – 9%, Ex – 24%)
