Fantasy managers may remember Kramer Hickock from his disappointing playoff loss to Harris English a few weeks ago at the Travelers Championship.

Rafa Cabrera Bello Should Not Be Backed In The Quad Cities

There's not much of a case to be made for taking a chance on Rafa Cabrera Bello at the John Deere Classic.
