DFS Tournament Report: Weeks of July 3rd-July 16th
The DFS Tournament Report will be a weekly feature here on RotoGrinders, hitting our pages every Monday and recapping all the big GPP action from the previous week.
Monday, July 3rd
Two names we’ve been seeing a lot of lately are pianoclub and IamPGM and those two continued to make their presence known with GPP wins on this Monday. IamPGM has done well enough to move into the top 50 of the TPOY race (#32) and is also top 50 in MLB (#48). They were joined in the winners circle by some of our usual suspects scout326, tinderella, and awesemo while jrmgrathp and lumpyoatmeal each took home $50K+ paychecks for their GPP wins.

Another Thunderdome, another Tommy G. win as he continues to dominate the DraftKings high-roller event with another top score. He was joined by the likes of rayofhope (who also took 2nd to Tommy in the Thunderdome) and papagates as winners on this relatively quiet day in DFS.

Wednesday, July 5th
Some things never change and one of those constants in DFS is current #1 ranked TPOY player awesemo winning a GPP. He did so on this Wednesday taking down $50K for the top score in the FanDuel Jumbo Home Run. Over on DraftKings, it was the aforementioned IamPGM dominating as he took down two of the bigger contests for a combined $75K. Bellaedward4eva also won two contests there for just a bit less ($40K) money.

JDUB1010 continued his assault on DK MLB GPP’s, winning two of them for a combined $75K (and adding another $15K for a third place finish in one of those contests) and ChipotleAddict notched another GPP win in a MLB Thunderdome contest.

Friday, July 7th
Friday saw three six-figure paydays handed out with kirbstomp8282, papagates, and knickgilman all collecting $100,000 paydays for their GPP wins. Kirbstomp8282 rode a dominant 58 Carlos Corrasco pitching performance paired with three more Indians bats and a Yankees stack to the top score in the Monster on FanDuel. Papagates went with a chalky James Paxton (47.8% owned) and stacks of Astros and Brewers to get his big score in the All Star Break Special on DK while knickgilman took the top spot (by just .05 points) in the Giant Thunderdome with three Indians bats, Paxton, and strong one-offs from Nolan Arenado and Aaron Judge.

Saturday, July 8th
A quiet Saturday as usual that saw pianoclub take down two more MLB GPP’s (it’s too bad he’s not a ranked RG player as he’d surely be a top contender for a MLB top ranking) while the big NASCAR contest saw an impressive 21-way tie for first place.

The lull after the MLB All-Star Break kicked off with some PGA action that saw RG’s own stlcardinals84 dominating the high-stakes action on DraftKings with a win in the Thunderdome despite a missed cut from Kevin Na. His other five golfers all put up at least 75 fpts including three that topped 100 including the John Deere winner Bryson DeChambeau. It was Kingmegatron81 who was the biggest winner of the day though as he took down both the Dogleg and Club Pro for a combined $100K.

MLB got back into things with moklovin taking down the Monster and Gladiator on FanDuel for $80K while big names like ehafner, fallfromgrace, and JDUB1010 took down contests on DK. The big winner, however, was tj2312 who collected $100,000 for winning the DK Walk-Off Home Run with a lineup comprised of hitters from seven different teams (he had two from the Astros). The two Astros bats were the lowest scoring of the group as the other six bats all put up at least 17 points including 25+ fpt efforts from Michael Conforto and Bryce Harper.
