If you haven’t played a PGA contest on FantasyDraft yet, I’ll fill you in. You can roster 7 golfers. Only the top 6 scores are added to your overall score, thus the lowest score of the 7 golfers in your lineup is dropped and does not count against you at all. It doesn’t matter if it was your most expensive golfer that bit the dust and missed the cut (Spieth earlier this year), or if it was a minimum salary punt play that performed like minimum price players typically do.

The salaries for PGA on FantasyDraft are also rather tight so you usually must have a relatively cheap or min. priced player to help roster one or two “favorites to win”.

With that said, the purpose of this weekly PGA article is to enlighten you to the best PGA Punt Plays for the week. The overall goal here is to find the cheap golfer that can make the cut and aide your roster in case one of your “Top 6” falter or miss the cut altogether. If you roster one of these suggested players and they are the lowest score on your lineup, it usually means your “Top 6” performed adequately.

Last Week Recap:

HOLY COW! This was the best Punt Play result of the season!!!

Cameron Smith – $11,700 FDraft | $6,900 DK | $7,900 FD – Finished 3^rd with -13

J.B. Holmes – $12,000 FDraft | $6,700 DK | $7,900 FD – MC

Alex Cejka – $10,800 FDraft | $6,500 DK | $7,000 FD – Finished 56^th with -2

Adam Hadwin – $11,500 FDraft | $6,300 DK | $8,300 FD – Finished 11^th with -10

Scott Stallings – $10,800 FDraft | $6,300 DK | $7,200 FD – Finished 28^th with -6

Dell Technologies Championship

This event is played at TPC Boston as a Par 71 reaching 7,342 yards in length with bentgrass greens.

Whee Kim – $10,700 FDraft | $6,400 DK | $7,000 FD

Whee Kim’s experience here is short and sweet. Literally. He played here just last year and was cut. Whee comes in ranked 9^thin total strokes gained. He doesn’t have any stats that scare me and has 5 that rank in the top 37. His best stats are 7^th in SG: SG and 4^th in SG: P.

Brian Harman – $11,900 FDraft | $6,800 DK | $8,700 FD

Harman has the best course history of all the Punt Plays this week by making the cut each of the last 4 years here. His best finish is 12^th place back in 2015. He comes in at 17^th overall in total strokes gained. He is consistent with all of his stats being in the top 64 and his best are 9^th in SG: SG and 3^rd in SG: P. He is my PUNT PLAY OF THE WEEK.

Scott Stallings – $11,600 FDraft | $6,700 DK | $7,300 FD

Stallings did me proud last week with a decent showing. Since Hadwin is too pricey for my cap now, I’m going back to the well with Scotty Too Hottie. He didn’t compete here in the last 3 years, but he made the cut the 2 years prior finishing 35^th in both. He is 24^th in total strokes gained. All stats are in the top 61 with his best being 17^th in SG: BS and 14^th in SG: OTT.

Keith Mitchell – $11,000 FDraft | $6,500 DK | $7,000 FD

Mitchell doesn’t have any course history at this event. He is 29^th in total strokes gained. He has 5 stats inside the top 41 with the best being 16^th in SG: OTT and 15^th in SG: ARG. His worst stat is 72^nd in SG: APP. He is my least favorite Punt out of all 5, but I still like him enough to keep him on the list.

Scott Piercy – $11,300 FDraft | $6,600 DK | $7,400 FD

Piercy didn’t compete here last year or in 2014. He missed the cut in 2015, but made it in 2016 and 2013 where he had his best finish at 13^th place. He comes in at 30^th overall in total strokes gained. He has 5 stats in the top 37 with his best being 17^th in SG: OTT and 14^th in SG: T2G. He sucks in SG: SG and SG: P with a 60^th and an 80^th ranking. AKA Bentgrass isn’t his thing.
