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 American Express 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 Farmers Insurance Open before using these core plays.  You can also take a look at my Weekly Tournament Projections at any time.

I am willing to pay up big this week.  I think there is enough value at the bottom that you can make a secure lineup.  I am going to do my best to try and fit both Rahm and Finau into my lineups but I’ll likely start lineups with one or the other.  I told you that I’m a huge fan of Bubba this weekend and that’s why he made the core.  I had a tough time picking between Jason Day and Ryan Palmer as a core play, so I’ll let you know I like both a lot.  I think the mix of Dylan Frittelli and Russell Knox give you the perfect combination of safety and risk.  Knox gives you stability and Frittelli doesn’t have the track record but I feel like he’s going to make noise this weekend.  This is an event where cream usually rises to the top when it comes to the Top 10. 

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.  

Good Luck!
