DraftKings PGA Expert Survey: WGC-HSBC Champions

Want to know who Notorious is definitely paying up for in PGA DFS this week? Wondering which value play STLCardinals84 is eyeing most? You’re in luck. Our daily fantasy sports experts will answer a handful of questions to help you make crucial lineup building decisions for this week’s tournament.

WGC-HSBC Champions

Which stud are you fading in tournaments and why?

Notorious: Dustin Johnson & Hideki Matsuyama – During the Asian swing, I only make one lineup. I like the roster construction a lot more when I start with Paul Casey instead of Johnson or Hideki. Only one winner of this event since 2005 hasn’t played one or two weeks early, which doesn’t help Johnson’s cause. As far as Hideki, he’s just been in awful form outside of the one good finish at the CIMB Classic.

STLCardinals84: Justin Rose – The back issues are always a concern, and this is the first event he has played on the Asian swing. I expect a little bit of rust, and I like the course fit better for the other high dollar plays this week. Rose isn’t a horrible play, but he is an easy fade for me.

futureoffantasy: Hideki Matsuyama – At this time last year, Hideki was one of the hottest golfers on the planet. This time around he finally jumped back into contention at the CIMB, but had otherwise been mediocre to end the 2016-17 season. I have nothing drastic against Matsuyama this week, but his salary reflects someone with great course history and great form. However, last year was the first time he excelled at Sheshan and his form is spotty as I mentioned.
