Fantasy Alarm is taking a different approach to help our subscribers build successful DFS lineups. I will be giving you my personal core plays for this weekend's tournament. These players listed below are my three favorite top tier, middle tier and value tier players for both DraftKings and Fanduel. They will be at the core of all my lineups for this weekend's Sony Open and then I'll use my playbook to fill out the remaining spots in my lineup.
Make sure you read my full PGA DFS Playbook for the Sony Open before using these core plays. You can also take a look at my Weekly Tournament Projections at anytime.
I really love Webb this weekend but he's expensive and you'll have to make tough calls at the bottom of the pricing sheet to make it work. I feel like I'll probably start most of my lineups with either Berger or Im and down from there. While Cameron Smith is not in my playbook or core plays, he is someone you can use in your cash lineups but I'm going to avoid in GPPs because he'll be heavily owned. The middle tier has a safe option and a risky option with Charles Howell and Marc Leishman. I feel like if you are building a cash lineup, use Howell but in a GPP I'd go with Leishman. When looking at the bottom tier, I'm going to have a lot of Ghim and Gay but not necessarily both in the same lineup. They both have risks and the goal is to get all six players through the cut line and I think putting both in your lineups will have too much risk. I'd rather lose one guy to the cut than two.
This new format of core plays I think is way more valuable to our subscribers because it lends more to teaching than just copy and pasting. A set of these players will be in each one of my lineups this weekend and then a mix of players from my playbook will fill out the rest.
Good Luck!
