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 Charles Schwab Challenge 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 Charles Schwab Challenge before using these core plays.  You can also take a look at my Weekly Tournament Projections at any time.

As we come down off the high of that amazing PGA Championship, we’ve got to settle in and focus on the tournament at hand.  The Charles Schwab has a less than stellar field which means I’m going to lean more towards a stars and scrubs approach.  I’ve got a lot of options in the price range from $7200-$6200 to help you fit in two top tier players, maybe even three.  It is much easier to get three into your lineup on Fanduel than it is on DraftKings like usual.      

Daniel Berger did not make the playbook but if you want to have another Top Tier option to play this week, he’s a solid one being the defending champ.  If I start my lineup with Jordan Spieth, I’ll likely drop down to Abraham Ancer and try to squeeze in a second 9K option like Joaquin Niemann.  If I start with Collin Morikawa, I’ll likely go with Will Zalatoris and Corey Conners alongside him. 

I have no problem with loading up on Vincent Whaley this week.  I would normally not want that much exposure to a guy at $6200 but I feel really confident that he’ll make the cut and pay off his price tag.  When you’ve got someone that cheap in your lineup, it provides you with a ton of roster flexibility.  I’ll probably put together one balanced lineup as well with him at the bottom helping me fit four guys in that 9-8K range.     

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.  

If you have any more questions, you can leave them in the chat or hit me up on twitter @Drew_Phelps83.  

Good Luck!
