RotoBaller PGA: One And Done Staff Picks - RSM Classic

The PGA RotoBaller staff digs into their One and Done selections for the RSM Classic. Here are some under the radar plays and picks for this week's event.

One And Done Staff Picks Overview

Here at RotoBaller, we are always searching for ways to give our readers the best fantasy sports content possible. With that goal in mind, we are very proud to announce the weekly PGA “One and Done” column will be back for a second season.

In this feature, our golf staff of Joe Nicely, Spencer Aguiar and Josh Bennett will provide their weekly golf picks every Wednesday. The purpose of this article is to present you with alternative options to consider and hopefully make your selection a much easier process weekly. With that plan in mind, let's get started!

For an in-depth breakdown of the top DraftKings and FanDuel plays, check out Joe Nicely's weekly Horse For The Course that highlights the best fits for the week's course. And you can also find out who the smart money is on by checking out Spencer Aguiar's PGA DFS: Vegas Report every week. Be sure to also read all of our other top-notch weekly PGA DFS and betting articles to help you win big!

 

One and Done Selections - RSM Classic

Joe Nicely - Russell Henley

Alternate - Corey Conners

Well...I was bracing for a “Hulk Smash” moment from Spencer and Bryson DeChambeau last week, but the “Mad Scientist” played more like Dr. Banner at the Masters. Maybe my selection, Justin Thomas, had a dizzying effect on DeChambeau, as JT sniped his way to a rock-solid solo fourth-place finish at Augusta National, despite his inability to make a putt.
With a big bullet (payday) dodged from Spencer - and a nice little stack added to my total - I head into this contest’s second-to-last event breathing a bit easier, though somehow not completely relaxed (PTSD from losing last year’s RotoBaller OAD contest to Gianni in the Tour Championship I suppose...). Luckily, I’ve got a pretty solid option left at my disposal and hope that Russell Henley will help to alleviate my stress this week at the RSM Classic.
The former Georgia Bulldog is extremely familiar with this week’s Sea Island layout...winning the SEC Championship on this course during his college days and then reeling off three-straight top-10s as a pro between 2015 and 2017. In addition to that elite course history, Henley comes into this week as one of the hottest players on the PGA Tour, having logged top-five finishes in two of his last three starts. He’s gained strokes with his irons in a superhuman 11-consecutive tournaments and seems primed for a victory at any moment. If there’s any doubt left in this contest, maybe Henley can erase it this week.

Spencer Aguiar - Matthew Fitzpatrick 

Alternate - Doc Redman

With roughly 2.4 million dollars left on the table in possible earnings and down three million in the OAD contest, the math no longer adds up. Bryson DeChambeau gave me more of Dr. Bruce Banner than he did the Hulk at Augusta, and it carried on with the tradition of disastrous performances from anyone I specifically saved for an event. I still don't concede because I find it likely that Collin Morikawa cheated during his PGA Championship victory that netted Joe nearly two million bucks (only one top-10 over his last eight tournaments since his win sounds fishy to me), but that is an argument for another day.

Whether your contest is just starting or almost ending, Matthew Fitzpatrick is an interesting pivot option away from the consensus picks near the top of the board. The Englishman is the 21st-ranked player in the world, and it is not as if you are going to be running to back him in other events throughout the season. I view this as a situation where you can grab one of the best players at the RSM at a reduced ownership rate, and those small contrarian edges can add up when playing in a large-field OAD contest.

Josh Bennett - Russell Henley

Alternate - Corey Conners

After looking through the course, it’s pretty obvious to me that you just need insanely good irons and then to run hot with the putter for one weekend at this tournament. Most of the holes do not require a driver, plus it has four par 3’s, so off the tee play is almost irrelevant. Irons, putting, done. I have two pretty bad putters listed above here, but I’m really just hoping for a random breakout putting week which likely means a high finish or even a win. Henley specifically kept up with JT in iron play throughout the 2020 season, and is already finding himself near the top of the SG: Approach category for the 2021 season. That’s plenty good for me, especially in this field where he will be one of, if not the best iron player in the event. Assuming he plays to his typical level of iron play, the only thing that would hold him back is his putting. Even then, with an average week of putting, I think he finds himself in contention come Sunday.
