Correlation abounds in MLB DFS, particularly through the use of stacking. The first type of correlation is obvious – as one hitter doubles in another, the hitter is rewarded with an additional two DK points for the RBI and the baserunner gets an additional two for the run scored. We can call this type of […]

One of my favorite yearly mini-Tour stops was at Sedgefield CC — the Dye course, not this one. The one for this week’s Wyndham Championship is a Donald Ross course (not a bad place, this Sedgefield CC). Does this week make me a bit nostalgic for the summers I spent on the road from one […]

PGA DFS is often won or lost under $8k. At the top of the price range, especially in strong fields, any player can win in any given week. This isn’t true below $8k — some of the cheaper players have much better distributions of potential outcomes than others. Our job is to identify them.    […]

In baseball, an “opener” has a simple job — help the team get off to a good start by limiting the opponent’s production in the first inning or two. He essentially paves the way for the rest of the bullpen and the offense to do their thing. This article is similar — since it’s released […]

I’m pumped for this week, and it has nothing to do with the course, or event, itself.    Instead, it’s because we now have multiple measures of volatility, round-to-round and event-to-event. Let’s use Tony Finau and Cam Young as the example from last week: Cam is more volatile from one round to the next, but […]

After a rough Open, this is a perfect place to get back in the winner’s circle. I’m a huge fan of the course for this week’s 3M Open on the PGA Tour, and it sets up well for us.   PGA DFS is all about weighing the risks and rewards of players in relation to […]

The last time we returned to a known PGA course following a Major? Keegan Bradley’s win at the Travelers! This week, we once again return from the uncertainty of an unknown Major Championship golf course to a course we know well — TPC Twin Cities. Spoiler alert — I’m a big fan of this week’s […]

At long last, we’ve reached the final major of the PGA season. There’s nothing more magical than having golf on TV through the darkest and calmest hours of the night, quietly watching your favorite players battle the elements from the comfort of your own bed. In most ways, it’s a once-a-year, nothing-else-like-it kind of week. […]

The final Major Championship of the year! The Open has always been a favorite of mine because of the unique experience of watching golf throughout the early hours of the night/morning, but Collin Morikawa’s win a few years ago took it to another level.    It was the first year I used the strategy of […]

We are officially less than two months from the start of the 2023 NFL season. As the entire football community continues to hammer away at best ball drafts, I’d also like to take an early look at Week 1.    This isn’t just about impatience and the excitement of NFL DFS being back in our […]

What an exciting part of the PGA schedule. The Tour makes its fair share of questionable decisions, but strengthening this field and event was one of its best. Let’s make it as successful of a week as it is fun. PGA DFS is all about weighing the risks and rewards of players in relation to […]

As we all wait for the golf world to head across the Atlantic Ocean, we’re left with one more weak-field birdie-fest at this week’s John Deere Classic. However, this is also one more chance to boost the bankroll before we get to some extremely exciting events.   PGA DFS is all about weighing the risks […]

It’s easy to faze out the PGA Tour a bit in this stretch of the season. From one birdiefest to another, one weak field to another, one thing doesn’t change – the money we can win is every bit as real as it is during elevated events or Majors. The John Deere Classic is far […]

The Keegan Bradley/Corey Conners PGA DFS core worked to perfection last week. Am I feeling more and more pressure each week to continue the dominance of the first hot take? You bet, but that just makes it more fun. PGA DFS is all about weighing the risks and rewards of players in relation to their […]

Keegan Bradley! Fresh off the outright hit (now up over 200 units on the season), we head to a golf course that emphasizes off the tee performance above all else. I like our chances to stay hot!   A brief reminder of the thought process behind and execution of the course fit model: Golf is the […]

I’ll keep saying it — I love returning from a major championship to a loaded PGA field with a strong course fit model.  PGA DFS is all about weighing the risks and rewards of players in relation to their ownership projections.

Consider me a big fan of the elevated events immediately following majors. As exciting as they are, it’s wonderful to get right back to a strong field on a course with a strong, known, course-fit model.   A brief reminder of the thought process behind and execution of the course fit model: Golf is the […]
