According to Fantasy Insider's DFS model, our "studs" are the highest projected scorer across the slate, while "value" picks provide the most "bang for your buck," meaning they're expected to perform well relative to their salary.
Conversely, a "fade" is a player considered to offer lower value for money, based on their expected score relative to their salary. For budget-conscious strategies, "cheapie" options refer to the best value players at lower price points not already mentioned.
In fantasy sports, understanding value—assessing a player's potential output against their salary—is crucial, as players scoring high relative to their cost are key in crafting the optimal line-up.
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 ZOZO Championship teams, consider starting with a value player like Charley Hoffman. To secure one of the highest projected scorers, Xander Schauffele is a strong option. If you're seeking budget-friendly choices to free up salary cap for more studs, take a look at our cheapie options, including Nate Lashley.
On the other hand, according to our model, Beau Hossler is one of the lowest value options in the tournament, suggesting you might want to limit exposure to him if entering multiple line-ups.
