Here are 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 Fortinet Championship 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 Fortinet Championship before using these core plays.  You can also take a look at my Weekly Tournament Projections at any time.

The Fortinet Championship kicks off the 2021-2022 PGA Tour season with a lackluster field with a few exceptions like the number one player in the world Jon Rahm.  I am not going to go nuts this week with my bankroll because of the field strength.  I really don’t want to play too much cash because of that fact as well.  I feel like you have to go Stars and Scrubs this weekend and I don’t like that with such a huge drop off in talent.   

When it is all said and done this weekend, it will be a shootout.  The winner will come in at 20 under or better is my guess.  That means you need to load up your lineups with scorers, guys who aren’t afraid to go pin hunting throughout their four days at Silverado.  Upside is the name of the game for me especially these young up and coming Korn Ferry Players who are looking to make a name for themselves. 

If you read my playbook, I’m likely going to start my lineups with Will Zalatoris because playing Rahm will almost force into a stars and scrubs approach.  Then I’ll have a mix of Max Homa, Mito Pereira, and Stephen Jaeger. You should have plenty of flexibility to finish out your lineup without having to go into the 6K range.  That’s an easy way to balance out your lineup this weekend and give you some wiggle room to make some slight alterations. 

I think teaching DFS players using these core lineups is way more valuable to our subscribers, it forces them to use the playbooks and not just copy and paste example lineups.  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!
