Daily Fantasy Golf: Deutsche Bank Championship expert picks

Is Matt Kuchar the golfer to build around in DFS this week? Our experts weigh in. AP

The FedEx Cup rolls on this week as the PGA Tour's best head to Boston for the Deutsche Bank Championship. With a smaller field loaded with stars, who should you focus on in daily fantasy golf?

Our experts have put together the players they believe have the skills to succeed and provide big fantasy point totals. This week's panel is comprised of Bob Harig, Jonathan Coachman and Michael Collins, as well as FantasyGolfInsider's Jeff Bergerson, Zach Turcotte, Taras Pitra and Jason Rouslin.

Note: Golfer salaries listed are for DraftKings.


Jonathan Coachman -- Rickie Fowler ($10,000)

In the FedEx Cup, I go with the hot golfer. Rickie Fowler plays this course well and knows how to win here. He will channel his disappointment from this past week at Bethpage and use it as motivation.

Bob Harig -- Matt Kuchar ($8,400)

The bronze-medal winner at the Olympics had a tough go at Bethpage and is in need of a strong week as he hopes for an at-large pick from U.S. Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III. He has nine top-10s this season but no victories. And he's had some success at TPC Boston, where he's been top 10 in two of the past three years.

Michael Collins -- Henrik Stenson ($10,700)

He's only played in the event four times, yet has a win (2013) and a runner-up finish (2015) on his resume. Yes, he's coming off of a withdrawal at the Barclays, but his last start after a withdrawal at the U.S. Open was a win in Germany!

Jeff Bergerson -- Steve Stricker ($7,000)

Getting into the top 100 by the skin of his teeth, I think the elder statesman puts up a nice finish this week and advances to next week's BMW. He has had a really solid season with some nice finishes including a T-7 at Valspar, fourth at The Open Championship and a runner-up finish at St Jude. TPC Boston is a place where he has had a ton of success during the years, with a runner-up in 2013 and a win in 2009. His $7,000 price tag is intriguing for both cash games and GPPs this week.

Zachary Turcotte -- John Senden ($7,200)

Few players have a track record that can match that of John Senden at the Deutsche Bank Championship. Although Senden has not enjoyed his best season this year, making 17 of 27 cuts, he has never missed a cut in nine starts at TPC Boston and finished inside of the top 25 on six occasions. While course history is not always a perfect indicator for success, TPC Boston brings out the best in Senden. He is not the flashy type to attract too much attention, even with his pristine record at this course, making him an attractive play this week.

Taras Pitra -- Charley Hoffman ($7,300)

Hoffman might be popular this week, but based on how I expect a lot of the general public to go about their roster construction, I don't believe he will see anything over 15 percent ownership. Hoffman is a pure ball striker who typically depends on streaks of chip-ins and low percentage putts to drop in order to contend week after week, so the only time he's a cash consideration is during the Texas swing. This week he comes in fresh off of two events at which he's exceeded his value at basically this same salary. The course sets up much better for his game than Bethpage did, so I'd expect to see a top-10 finish this week, as he's trending in that direction (T-25, T-13 in his past two events) and it doesn't hurt that he's got some solid course history, either (third last year, winner in 2010, five top-35 finishes).

Jason Rouslin -- Jason Kokrak ($5,700)

Coming off a top 10 last week at the Barclays, a top 15 here in 2014 and possessing the approach game to succeed at TPC Boston, Kokrak has the potential to be a bargain play to plug into lineups. He had a hot putter last week at the Barclays, and if that continues this week, he can really make some noise at an incredibly low salary.
