Harris English Is A Solid Play At Torrey Pines

While Harris English's Sunday struggles on the back nine last week will be fresh in fantasy managers' minds, this is a great bounce-back spot for the three-time PGA Tour winner. Since winning the Tournament of Champions in January, English has had an up-and-down season, but with two top-15s in his last four starts, his game […]

Ride The Hot Hand With Garrick Higgo At The U.S. Open

Fantasy managers should not overthink this one. Garrick Higgo is playing excellent golf right now, with three world-wide wins in his last five starts, and he carries a very reasonable price tag this weekend.
