I know I am in the minority here but I did really enjoy watching the Olympic Golf over the weekend. While I was upset to not have Justin Rose in my Olympic playbook, it was awesome to see a guy who obviously cared take down the gold. I was rooting hard for American Matt Kuchar as he made one hell of a charge on the last day but came up just short.
I have had a very difficult week at home with my family and so this article will be brief. I hope that everything gets back to normal next week.
You'll notice that I do not have any of the Top Four players on Draft Kings listed in my playbook and that is for a reason. I will avoiding those players in the vast majority of my lineups this weekend. I just really love the value in the lower part of the upper tier, that's where I'd rather spend my money. You can definitely play those four players but I would reccomend not using them in your core group. There is a lot of interesting things you can do with the pricing this week, be creative.
Lastly, I had complaints that they did not get to see our spiritual guide, Paige last week. I apologize and that's probably why the playbook did not perform well last week. She is ready to get things back on track at the Wyndham Championship.
If you have ANY questions about this week's tournament or you want to share lineups, please get over to the Fantasy Alarm Forums and post those questions. I'll be MORE than happy to go over and answer those throughout the day.
GOOD LUCK THIS WEEK!
