Week 17 Sunday Cheatsheet: Underdog Picks, Injuries, UPDATED Rankings
READ: PGA BEST BALL DRAFT STRATGY & UNDERDOG FANTASY PLAYER RANKINGS
NOTE: PGA Underdog best ball drafts close this week with The Sentry starting on Thursday. It’s only 43% filled right now so there’s expected to be a lot of overlay. I’ll have a newsletter drop Sunday with strategy and player rankings for the golf season.
If you don’t have an Underdog account and want to do the drafts, use code MAYO and get a deposit bonus up to $1,000 so you can fire more entries.
Use code “MAYO” at underdog for a FREE PICK and deposit bonus up to $1000
Also, I’ll have these football rankings and injuries updated Sunday morning in this post, so bookmark it if you’re in need of the info.
