Who is your favorite overall DFS golfer and why?
- Joe Nicely: Russell Henley ($9.3k) - It feels as though he’s going overlooked for Ancer, despite the fact that he leads this field in SG: Approach over both long and short term measurements.
- Spencer Aguiar: Daniel Berger ($10,400) - Playability across the board. Reasonable ownership projections. More upside than the general public believes.
- Josh Bennett: Abraham Ancer (9,900) - its as solid of a play as you can get this week. A guy that will likely contend under 10k. Accurate, Ball striker, gamer, good history. He should be up there this week
- Andrew Putters: S Muñoz (8.5k) is underpriced in this field.
What is your optimal DFS lineup building strategy?
- Joe Nicely: Two studs, mix & match $7k range
- Spencer Aguiar: Any
