The first round of the French Open continues on Tuesday. Tennis DFS players will need to get up to speed with the matchups to prepare for the flagship GPP on DraftKings. The buy-in is $20 for the main GPP, which is set for 7,058 lineups and full 150-max entries. There’s $30,000 up top, which is a bit lower then we saw at the Australian Open, but a huge boost for the DraftKings Tennis lobby. The main slate has 28-matches, so like Days 1 and 2, there is plenty to lookout for in Stokastic’s Tennis DFS projections.
The NBA season is nearing its end and the NFL is months away. Now is the perfect time to try out the many niche DFS sports available. Luckily, Stokastic has you covered with out industry leading DFS projections for sports like Tennis, League of Legends, MMA, NASCAR and much more.
French Open Tennis DFS Projections & Plays: Top Values
Yannick Hanfmann $8,900; Thiago Monteiro $5,900
Roland Garros brings out all the big names. Novak Djokovic cruised yesterday, as did Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. The main attractions for Tuesday’s French Open slate will be Iga Swiatek on the women’s side and Daniil Medvedev and Alexander Zverev on the men’s. But behind those payout options lies a lot of value, especially in the matchup between Yannick Hanfmann and Thiago Monteiro.
Hanfmann enters as a significant favorite. His implied win and straight set probability could easily pay off the $8,900 price tag. Stokastic’s Tennis DFS projections have Hanfmann at 57.98 fantasy points. That’s the fourth best points-per-dollar value on Tuesday’s slate, sitting just behind the $10,000 and $11,000 spend-ups. He is currently projected for 19.45% ownership, which makes sense given the price. He’ll allow you more roster flexibility than some of the bigger names.
And despite Handmann’s value, there’s plenty to like on the other side of the court. Monteiro is projected for 36.84 fantasy points, which is pretty fair at his low $5,900 salary. Likewise, he is currently projecting for just 9% ownership. He’s unlikely to break the slate, but a win at his salary could be enough to get you there. It’s rare that a match has two great value plays on such a large slate, but Monteiro’s projection is supplemented by ace upside. It’s never easy to rack up a ton of aces on clay courts, but Monteiro could get enough in a win to give him a huge boost. He is projected for ~5 aces in the match, which is likely to go over if he can pull off the upset.
Giulio Zeppieri $7,600
At 21-years old Giulio Zeppieri could be ready to burst on the Tennis scene. Betting markets certainly think that’s a possibility when he takes on Alexander Bublik Tuesday morning as the slight favorite. Zeppieri has yet to make a name for himself in major ATP events, but if he can advance past the first round or more at Roland Garros he might be on his way.
The most important metric for Zeppieri is simply his price. The $7,600 price on him is low enough to make Zeppieri one of the top points-per-dollar plays on the slate. He projects for 49.1 fantasy points and 15.3% ownership. His opponent, Alexander Bublik has looked particularly shaky as of late. Bublik has been defeated soundly in his last two matches. His most recent was a straight set loss to Marcos Giron in which he won just four games. Given the pricing and odds, this is a good time to take a shot on Zeppieri.
Arthur Rinderknech $7,200
Like the aforementioned Thiago Monteiro, the appeal of Arthur Rinderknech is his ability to score aces. There won’t be a ton of ace-bonuses in Tennis DFS this week given the court and the matchups. However, in a win., Rinderknech could be one to reach the 15-plus aces needed, which could dramatically increase his upside and raise his floor. Rinderknech is no John Isner, but he projects for an average of 9.78 aces.
The bump from the aces and bonus potential is enough to make Rinderknech a strong value play at $7,200. He’s a slight underdog, but still enters Tuesday with a 45.0 average projection. His current ownership is at 12.27%, which is plenty low for a player sitting just outside the top-10 in points-per-dollar plays on this slate.
![College football Week 5 continues with a four-game Friday slate. CFB DFS differs from traditional NFL DFS in a few key areas. Rosters do not require a defense and instead incorporate a superflex where a second quarterback can be rostered. With the exception of short slates, using a second quarterback generally makes the most sense. From there, traditional stacking rules and other general football DFS strategies apply (such as looking at college football ownership projections). With that said, let's get into the CFB Week 5 DFS picks and projections for Friday, Sept. 29. CFB Week 5 DFS Picks and Projections | Friday, Sept. 29 Quarterback Emory Jones ($6,900): The top price-adjusted quarterback on the slate, Emory Jones, and the Cincinnati Bearcats are 2-point favorites over BYU in a game with a 48 total. Jones averages 242.5 passing yards per game on 31 attempts. He also has elite mobility, with 32 designed attempts through four games. Hank Bachmeier ($5,800): Hank Bachmeier should have a better chance to play this game after being available "in case of emergency" last week. Louisiana Tech ranks 63rd in pace and passes 55.6% of the time. This makes whoever starts at quarterback a strong value. Jack Turner played well in place of Bachmeier last week and actually looks to provide decent mobility. If Bachmeier misses, Turner is an easy swap option. Jack Plummer ($8,500): On a relatively weak quarterback slate, Jack Plummer stands out between the pair of expensive options. Louisville comes in as a 3-point favorite over North Carolina State in a game with a 55.5 total. Plummer has averaged 280 passing yards per game and is hyper-efficient. The North Carolina State defense projects to provide little resistance, allowing 8.3 yards per attempt. Plummer also has 13 designed rush attempts this year, which helps prevent the negative rushing stats from early in his career. the_ad id="340345"] Running Back Jawhar Jordan ($7,000): Louisville has begun to feature Jawhar Jordan at the expense of Isaac Guerendo and Maurice Turner. Jordan has 18 carries in back-to-back games and four targets in that span. His route rate has also eclipsed 50% in those two games. Jacob Fields ($3,700): Louisiana Tech is dealing with injuries to Keith Willis Jr., Charvis Thornton and Tyre Shelton. Marquis Crosby has also yet to play this year. If this injury situation breaks right, Jacob Fields should lead a committee also featuring Keldric Moody. This is a pure late-news situation. L.J. Martin ($5,100): Corey Kiner ($4,700): Ryan Montgomery left last week's game with an injury, allowing Corey Kiner to receiver more work. He finished with 10 carries and three targets in a decisive loss to Oklahoma. His workload stands to increase in more competitive games. Watch Montgomery's status ahead of kickoff. Jaylon Glover ($5,000): Utah already lost Micah Bernard for the year, and Ja'Quinden Jackson enters this game with the questionable tag. If out, Jaylon Glover projects to handle a feature back workload. Last week he saw 25 carries and one target. Editor Note: Looking for more 2023 college football predictions?

Wide Receiver Isaac Rex ($4,700): Despite coming in as a slight underdog, BYU still ranks 58th in pace and passes 57.4% of the time. Tight end Isaac Rex not only paces the team in targets (34), but he has the best route rate of the group as well. Smoke Harris ($6,800): One of the premier receivers on the slate, Smoke Harris averages 73.4 receiving yards per game on a 26.9% target share. In the Louisiana Tech offense this equates to 8.6 targets per game. Braden Smith ($4,200): Braden Smith ranks second on Cincinnati with 22 targets this year, averaging 49.5 yards per game. He projects as one of the top price-adjusted receivers on the slate. Jamari Thrash ($6,600):  Jamari Thrash is one of the most explosive receivers in college football, averaging 100 yards per game behind a 25.2% target share. With little salary restrictions on this slate, Thrash should be a priority.
