RotoBaller PGA Expert Roundtable
Shriners Hospitals For Children Open
The Expert Roundtable article is an attempt to get you inside the minds of our PGA DFS staff for every tournament.
Our four top golf writers - Joe Nicely, Spencer Aguiar, Josh Bennett, and Tommy Bell - will answer the same set of questions each week to give you an idea of how they are viewing the PGA DFS slate. Let's tee it up!
Who is your favorite DFS value play?
- Joe Nicely: Kristoffer Ventura ($7.1k) & James Hahn ($7.0k)
- Spencer Aguiar: Joaquin Niemann ($8,100), Brian Harman ($8,000), Adam Schenk ($6,900), Matt Jones ($6,600)
- Josh Bennett: Talor Gooch (6,800)
- Tommy Bell: Doc Redman (7,900)
Who is your favorite DFS “high priced” play?
- Joe Nicely: Webb Simpson ($11.0k) & Collin Morikawa ($9.8k)
- Spencer Aguiar: Webb Simpson ($11,000)
- Josh Bennett: Webb Simpson ($11,000)
- Tommy Bell: Collin Morikawa ($9,800)
Who is your top GPP play?
- Joe Nicely: Scottie Scheffler ($9.4k) & Russell Henley ($8.4k)
- Spencer Aguiar: Jason Day ($9,500), Scottie Scheffler ($9,400), Sungjae Im ($9,300)
- Josh Bennett: Rickie Fowler (9,000)

- Joe Nicely: Denny McCarthy ($7.7k)
- Spencer Aguiar: Cameron Smith ($7,800)
- Josh Bennett: Denny McCarthy (7,700)
- Tommy Bell: Joaquin Niemann ($8,100)
Which popular golfer will you be “fading”?
- Joe Nicely: Kevin Na ($8.6k) - My fade last week was Sergio...do with that info whatever you like 🙂
- Spencer Aguiar: I don’t have a ton of natural fades of players yielding 10%+ ownership. However, I won’t have a ton of Collin Morikawa ($9,800) or Russell Henley ($8,400) because both are overvalued for me at their price tags.
- Josh Bennett: Kevin Na (8,600)
- Tommy Bell: Webb Simpson ($11,000)
What stands out as the most important stat for this golf course?
- Joe Nicely: Total Driving, SG: Approach, Bent Putting
- Spencer Aguiar: Strokes Gained Off The Tee, Bent Putting + Scrambling
- Josh Bennett: SG: Approach
- Tommy Bell: SG Tee-to-Green, Bentgrass Putting, Par 5 Scoring
Who is your favorite DFS “dart throw”?
- Joe Nicely: So many! Schenk ($6.9k), Malnati ($6.7k), McCumber ($6.5k), Suh ($6.2k)
- Spencer Aguiar: Justin Suh ($6,200)
- Josh Bennett: Nick Taylor (6,400)
- Tommy Bell: Luke List ($7,000)
What is your favorite bet of the week? (Any type)
- Joe Nicely: Russell Henley (50/1) & Denny McCarthy (66/1)
- Spencer Aguiar: Justin Suh top-five (80/1) on Bovada (Ties pay in full). Number should be half of that.
- Josh Bennett: Denny McCarthy top 10 (+700)
- Tommy Bell: Joaquin Niemann (50/1)
Make a “bold prediction” for this week:
- Joe Nicely: Spencer gets detained for sneaking on to the grounds at TPC Summerlin in an attempt to give Jason Day a dinner invitation.
- Spencer Aguiar: I convince Jason Day to come have dinner at my house.
- Josh Bennett: William McGirt top 10
- Tommy Bell: Niemann finds himself in a crazy three-way playoff with Bryson and Morikawa
Who is your favorite overall DFS golfer and why?
- Joe Nicely: Collin Morikawa ($9,800) - Great course fit with tons of win equity at a sub-$10k price tag.
- Spencer Aguiar: Joaquin Niemann ($8,100) - Niemann is probably the golfer that gives you the most bang for your buck. He has the firepower off the tee and ability to catch fire with his putter to scorch TPC Summerlin.
- Josh Bennett: Denny McCarthy (7,700) - He's one of the best putters on Tour and his irons have been great recently. The two things I'm looking for in a player this week he does well. Great price to fit in any kind of build as well.
- Tommy Bell: Joaquin Niemann ($8,100) - A course that should fit him really well, and he can get as hot as anyone on tour when the putter gets going.
What is your optimal DFS lineup building strategy?
- Joe Nicely: With this salary scale you can go either way.
- Spencer Aguiar: Stars & Scrubs
- Josh Bennett: Balanced
- Tommy Bell: Very Balanced
Who is your pick to win the tournament?
- Joe Nicely: Webb Simpson
- Spencer Aguiar: Webb Simpson
- Josh Bennett: Collin Morikawa
- Tommy Bell: Collin Morikawa
