Going back to his DraftKings username Rotogut, Vlad Sedler relied on his instinct to trounce the field in Week 5 of Tout Daily. This marked the first week of Period 2, making Sedler, from Fantasy Guru Elite, the leader for the next set of Golden Tickets awarded to the top three scorers in each period.
With more than a deck of aces to choose, Sedler opted for Clayton Kershaw, supporting him with salary-saver Andrew Suarez, who outscored the future Hall or Famer. A Nationals mini-stack drove Sedler to the top as he was the only Tout to click in Matt Adams and his pair of homers while only three others used Trea Turner. Check out Rotogut’s complete roster below.
Wiseguy’s Gene McCaffrey finished 13 points off the lead, fueled by Justin Verlander’s outstanding effort. McCaffrey’s hitting was topped by Bryce Harper and Travis Shaw, each smacking a big fly.
Next was Rotowire’s Clay Link, posting the third highest total of the week. Link’s pitching was key with Max Scherzer and rookie Mike Soroka each eclipsing 20 points. Charlie Blackmon was the leading hitter.
Sedler, McCaffrey and Link have a leg up on the next three Golden Tickets while Todd Zola, Rick Wolf and Link remain the top three overall points scorers in the quest for the wild card entry into the Tout Daily Survivor Finals. Here’s the overall Leaderboard.
