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 3M 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 3M Open before using these core plays.  You can also take a look at my Weekly Tournament Projections at any time.

We’ve got another weak field tournament which means I’ll be playing a lower bankroll than a typical week on the PGA Tour.  When the 6K range is as bad as it is this week, I just don’t want to trust my money to a bunch of guys who are barely hanging onto their tour cards.  I’ll likely avoid cash games in general as well for the same reasons.   

You’ll notice that I did not put Dustin Johnson or Louis Oosthuizen in my playbook and that was for a reason.  If you play those guys, you will likely have to dip into that 6K range and I want to avoid that at all costs.  I also want nothing to do with Louis after another disappointing Sunday at a major for the South African.  I just feel like this is a set up for failure.  I also want nothing to do with DJ because really don’t know what guy will show up week in and week out.  I personally think he’ll miss the cut and enjoy a nice long vacation because he’s already said he’s not playing in the Olympics.

I will likely building mostly balanced lineups this weekend.  I’ll start with a Wolff at the top, then down to List in the mid-tier and round things out with a Hossler.  All my other players will be between those three guys.  I will likely put one or two lineups together with Roach sitting at $6300 to fit in Finau and Garcia but that’s about it when it comes to stars and scrubs.

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!
