After another successful and profitable weekend during the Charles Schwab Challenge, Sports Illustrated’s DFS experts highlight the golfers to build your roster around for the RBC Heritage. The tier based ranking approach helps DFS players identify the must have golfers and also the value based ones that don’t cost a high price tag but could help boost your team’s total points.SI’s Frank Taddeo and Ben Heisler discuss golfers like Justin Rose, Webb Simpson, Jon Rahm, and Daniel Berger for your RBC Heritage DFS Lineups.

Bill Enright: The world's best golfers are heading to Hilton Head, South Carolina, to participate in the RBC Heritage Open, in which golfers do you want for your daily fantasy lineups were about to tell you? I'm talking with the experts, Frank Taddeo on Ben Heisler, two of our fantasy and gambling analysts here at Sports Illustrated. Ben, I'm going to go to you first. Let's talk about that tier one. Those guys that you want to build your team around. You have two golfers. Who are they?

Ben Heisler: I do, Bill, I think this is an ideal opportunity to go back to somebody like Jon Rahm. He is a bit expensive on DraftKings at about ten thousand five hundred. And same thing with Webb Simpson. If we're just talking about these same guys, just a week ago, they were the tier top plays over at Colonial and ended up missing the cut. But I think they're still very strong off the tee. They're great iron players and they're short game as long as they can get themselves in good form should be good to go. So I think this is an ideal spot for us to bounce back with Rahm and Webb Simpson knowing that the ownership is likely going to be suppressed because they let a lot of people down just a week ago.

Bill Enright: All right, so those were kind of the higher-priced golfers on this slate's list, Frankie, you know, you have some maybe under the radar or some lower-priced golfers that you want on your team.

Frank Taddeo:  Yeah. Bill, for me, I have to fade away from a lot of these top tier guys, because right now, this course and in this field this week, it's just not a time for DFS players or betters, for that matter, to be investing in all the high priced favorites. For me, there's two guys that I was creating a fantasy lineup for specifically over a DraftKings and the millionaire maker. I want to build my lineup around two players, and that would be Kevin Kisner, at a price of seventy-seven hundred as well as Tyrrell Hatton at odds of eight thousand of those guys clearly come in at maybe the secondary, maybe even the third tier in terms of dollar amount required to set that lineup. And those are guys that definitely if I was creating a lineup right now, but I think all DFS players need to look at those guys because there's just a tremendous amount of value on this board. And right now, DFS players, they need to stay away from those top guys and those five-digit amounts that that be required at ten thousand, eleven thousand and change for Rory McIlroy. It's just too expensive right now you better suited to target the middle guys this week, Bill.
