According to Fantasy Insider's DFS model, our "studs" are expected to score the most points across the entire slate, while "value" picks offer the most "bang for your buck," meaning they're expected to perform well relative to their salary.
Conversely, a "fade" is a player deemed less valuable due to a poor projected score relative to their salary. For those needing to fill their line-up while staying under the salary cap, "cheapie" options refer to undervalued players at lower price points.
Lastly, the "pts/$1K" metric shows the predicted points for every $1,000 of a player's salary. A higher number indicates better value, making it easier to spot players who could outperform their cost.
Conclusion
In DFS, creating an optimal line-up requires understanding key concepts and metrics. When building your PGA The Masters team(s), consider starting with a value player like Adam Hadwin. To secure one of the highest projected scorers, Scottie Scheffler is a strong option. If you're seeking budget-friendly choices to free up salary cap for more studs, explore our cheapie options, including Eric Cole.
Conversely, according to our model, Phil Mickelson is one of the lowest value options on the slate, suggesting you might want to limit exposure to him if entering multiple line-ups.
As with all PGA DFS contests, whether you start with our studs or build around our value picks, leveraging Fantasy Insider's data-driven PGA fantasy news and strategies, combined with your own research, can enhance your chances of winning in the PGA The Masters contest.
