Free space alert! Roberts DFS price was set when he was still competing against Matt Frevola. He was -112 to win that bout, but has moved to the biggest money line favorite on the card against Croom. Take the DFS points bargain on offer, even if you’ll be parroting everyone else. Just too much value here to pass on having Roberts at this salary.
