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

The first thing I need to remind you is that this is a tournament before the last major championship of the season and with such a weak field, I recommend you play a lesser percentage of your typical bankroll.  Of course, this decision is completely up to you.  I’m personally going to save my money to jump deeper into next week’s Open Championship. 

I am also going to avoid cash games because of the volatility of the players in this week’s field.  I mean we’ve got some guys with great track records but a lot of them are either not regular players on the PGA Tour or not playing well currently.  I don’t want to put that much of an investment into inconsistency.

I don’t think you can go wrong with any roster construction this weekend.  The names at the top, they just aren’t worth paying top dollar.  I’ll likely build a lot of mid-tier/balanced lineups with a few stars and scrubs sprinkled.        

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!
