Harold Varner III One To Stay Away From At John Deere Classic

Harold Varner III did not see Saturday at the Rocket Mortgage Classic last week at one of the easier tournaments of the summer. That does not bode well for the John Deere Classic. Even if Varner III gets to the weekend, he has not finished in the top-30 since the RBC Heritage Classic in April […]

Scott Stallings Worth A Look This Week At John Deere Classic

Scott Stallings is a risky DFS pick this week at the John Deere Classic. It is the week before "The Open" and strange things often happen. Low scores are very common and driving accuracy is not necessarily needed on the course. The problem with Stallings is he cannot hit very far either (less than 298 […]

Rhys Hoskins Homers In Blowout Win At Wrigley

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins went 2-for-5 with a home run, three RBI, and two runs scored in a win over the Cubs on Monday.
