PGA – Expert Recap and Grades – John Deere Classic
Today DailyOverlay publishes graded DFS consensus sheets for the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, PGA and college football, plus sportsbook consensus cards — and grades every pick in public the next morning.
Something about guys going -20 in a PGA event doesn’t exactly scream “tune in” for me but I enjoy the John Deere Classic every year. It’s usually a 2nd tier event with not many, if any, superstars in the field. Sunday was fun with Dylan Fritelli firing a -7 under to hold off Russell Henley’s magnificent, waaaay low round of -10. Let’s all get hyped for The Open which will be played at Royal Portrush for the 2nd time ever and the first time since 1951!

*****EXPERT GRADES*****
Grades are the result of a three step process.
First, the field is sorted by raw points achieved and assigned a grade 0-5, with 5 being best. Roughly the top 3-4% receive 5 points, the next 13-15% receive 4 points, the next 13-15% receive 3 points, and so on. In weeks with a cut, almost all MCs receive 0 points.
Next, we follow the same method described above, but we replace raw points with salary ($) / fantasy points (pts).
Finally, we weight the two results (2x raw points grade + value grade / 3) and assign a traditional letter grade.
