Martin Piller Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

With less than 48 hours until the first tee shot of The Rocket Mortgage, there has already been some player movement to report for the week. Martin Piller and Doc Redman join Wes Homan and Austen Truslow as the four Monday qualifiers. Piller has the most experience of the group and can always be considered as a GPP option. Doc Redman is a young player worth keeping an eye on moving forward and will need to play well in the limited chances earned via exemptions and Monday qualifiers. Two more spots in the field have opened up due to the withdrawal of Julian Etulain and Jim Knous earlier today. Talor Gooch and Dominic Bozzeli will take their spots in the field. All new players to the field will have projections up later today.

All of the early week field movement has been accounted for and both FanDuel and DraftKings have added the new players to the pricing pools. Martin Piller and Derek Fathauer are two players that stand out the most in this group as they have plenty of experience on The PGA Tour. All of the players above have projections in our model for the week and are available in LineupHQ.

Chris Kirk has decided to take a pass on this weeks Wells Fargo Championship. Martin Piller will take his spot in the field. Piller should get added to pricing pools within the next 24 hours.

The golf superstar couple of Martin and Gerina Piller welcomed their first child into the world last week. Piller withdrew from last week's team event to be with wife Gerina, but with both mom and baby healthy this first-time father will return to work. This multiple Web.com Tour winner is looking to make the most of his third stint on the PGA Tour. With two early top-five finishes Piller currently sits in the 89th position on the FedEx Cup standings list but will need continued solid play if he wants a return to the tour next season. Piller has only made one cut in his last four starts but will look to rely on the new dad narrative to find a spark in his game. The addition of Piller to a roster this week should be reserved as a deep GPP sleeper type of play.

Kevin Roth's weather forecast for The Valero Texas Open is now available to read in the main forum. According to Roth, we can expect a windy week of golf at TPC San Antonio. Unless something changes we can expect the wind to possibly effect everyone at close to the same levels. Roth predicts the chances for high winds to increase on Thursday between 10:00 a.m and 2:00 p.m, so it will be hard for both waves to completely miss parts of a potential windy day. For those concerned about wind, I would suggest stacking lineups with players from each wave in order to take advantage of a potential change in the forecast. If one wave does in fact benefit, then those lineups will have all six players with a chance to play in the less windy conditions. I would also suggest targeting golfers who you feel like player better in the wind. Native Texans will be in abundance this week, and for the most part they tend to play better in the wind. As always we will keep an eye on the weather up until lock providing any updates as needed.
