Trevor Cone Not Worth The Risk At Fortinet
Trevor Cone may appear to be a potential value in the $6,000 range on DraftKings this week. The second-year PGA Tour pro enters the week ranked second in driving distance and 14th in greens-in-regulation percentage over the last 50 rounds, and he also surprised with a third-place finish at the Barbasol Championship in July. But... Read More

Byeong Hun An is currently projected to be one of the highest-owned golfers on DraftKings this week, and it may be for good reason.

Tony Finau Searching For Answers At Olympia Fields
Tony Finau has disappointed plenty of fantasy managers in recent months. He did win the Mexico Open in late April and posted a T7 finish at the 3M Open in late July, but those are both events where he's historically enjoyed tremendous success. Excluding those two starts, he's missed three cuts with zero top-20 finishes... Read More
Lucas Gover Shows No Signs Of Slowing Down
Lucas Glover shocked the golf world with back-to-back victories at the Wyndham Championship and the FedEx St. Jude Championship. While a three-peat may seem incredibly unlikely, it will be tough to bet against the 43-year-old Tour veteran again this week. Glover's recent recipe for success has been to find fairways, hit greens in regulation, make... Read More
Xander Schauffele Lacking Elite Upside At BMW Championship
Xander Schauffele caught fire in the Spring, stringing together a run of five consecutive top-10 finishes between the WGC Dell Match Play in late March and the Wells Fargo Championship in early May.

Taylor Montgomery got off to a red-hot start in his rookie PGA Tour season, posting eight top-20 finishes with zero missed cuts in his first 10 starts.

Stephan Jaeger Tough To Sit In Memphis
Despite shooting three-over-par in the final round of the Wyndham Championship last week, Stephan Jaeger picked up his third top-15 finish in his last five events. That also marked the seventh-straight event in which the 34-year-old German gained strokes ball-striking and from tee-to-green. He ranks 12th in birdie or better percentage over the last 36... Read More
Alex Smalley A Player To Avoid At FedEx St. Jude
Alex Smalley has been a volatile fantasy option over the past few months. As evidence, look no further than his results following a runner-up finish at the John Deere Classic three starts ago. He posted back-to-back missed cuts, including last week's Wyndham Championship where he lost over four strokes in the short game. While Smalley... Read More
Keegan Bradley A Potential Value At FedEx St. Jude
Keegan Bradley will have plenty of motivation to play well in Memphis this week. He is currently on the outside looking in for a Ryder Cup spot, and a victory at the FedEx St. Jude would be a major statement for the 37-year-old New Englander. At the very least, fantasy managers should expect Bradley to... Read More
Tommy Fleetwood In Top Form Heading Into Memphis
There aren't too many golfers who are having a better year than Tommy Fleetwood. The 32-year-old Englishman arrives in Memphis on the heels of four top-10 finishes in his last five events, including a T5 at the U.S. Open and a T10 at The Open Championship. His all-around game should serve him well in Memphis,... Read More
Viktor Hovland A Safe Option In Memphis
Viktor Hovland should be in line for a solid performance this week in Memphis.

He also hasn't missed a cut since the... Read More
Nicholas Lindheim A Flier At Wyndham
Fantasy managers have hopefully been paying attention to Nicholas Lindheim's recent form on the Korn Ferry Tour.

Read More
Alex Noren A Potential Value Entering Wyndham
Alex Noren has quietly put together a solid string of recent events and should be on the radar of fantasy managers this week.

Read More

But he has disappointed fantasy managers who invested in him in his last two starts, which... Read More
Shane Lowry Offers Limited Upside At Sedgefield
Shane Lowry made six consecutive cuts, including five finishes of T20 or better, prior to his missed cut two weeks ago at The Open Championship. While his recent form has been solid, fantasy managers should be leery of his upside at the Wyndham Championship. Lowry hasn't posted a finish inside of the top-10 on the... Read More
Adam Scott A Costly Option At Wyndham
Adam Scott will garner plenty of attention in a weaker field at this week's Wyndham Championship. While he does have a solid track record on short courses, along with three top-10 finishes to his name in 2023, he has missed the cut in two of his last four events and does not appear to be... Read More
Stephan Jaeger In Great Form Entering 3M Open
Stephan Jaeger has been paying off for fantasy managers that have chose to invest in him since the start of the year. The 34-year-old German has made 18 out of 19 cuts so far in 2023, and he's gained over three strokes from tee to green in nine of his last 10 events. Despite a... Read More
Justin Thomas Tough To Trust In Blaine
Justin Thomas should have plenty of motivation to play well this week. He's currently outside of the cut line for a FedEx Cup playoff spot with just two events remaining, and his position on the Ryder Cup team is being questioned by many in the golf universe. Thomas' recent form should give fantasy managers plenty... Read More
Hideki Matsuyama Trending Up Ahead Of 3M Open
Hideki Matsuyama will be a popular option for fantasy managers this week, and rightfully so. Over the last 36 rounds, the Japanese star ranks third in strokes gained on approach, first from tee-to-green, fourth in greens-in-regulation, and third in strokes-gained total. Matsuyama has made the cut in 13 of 16 events so far in 2023,... Read More
J.J. Spaun A Golfer To Fade In Blaine
J.J. Spaun will be a popular fantasy option at the 3M Open on the heels of a T10 finish at last week's Barracuda Championship. He gained over 15.31 strokes ball-striking in that event, which was the best ball-striking performance of his career by almost five strokes. Hidden in that performance was the fact that he... Read More
Cameron Davis A Horse For 3M Course
Cameron Davis has certainly had his fair share of struggles in 2023. He opened the year with missed cuts in six of his first seven events, and he's on pace to have the worst putting season of his professional career. But Davis has historically played TPC Twin Cities well, having made three straight cuts here... Read More
Lee Hodges A Sneaky Option At The 3M Open
Lee Hodges has quietly put together some solid performances in recent months, and fantasy managers have hopefully taken notice.

Hodges'... Read More
Thomas Pieters Offers Little Upside At The Open
Thomas Pieters is likely entering The Open with some confidence, following his T6 finish at LIV Golf London two weeks ago. It was his best performance and first top-10 finish since joining LIV back in February. But fantasy managers shouldn't expect similar results for the Belgian native and world No. 73 at Royal Liverpool this... Read More
Si Woo Kim A Potential Value At Hoylake
Si Woo Kim has been a boom-or-bust option as of late, but statistics are pointing to a boom at The Open this week. Over the last 50 rounds, Kim enters the field ranking eighth in driving accuracy and inside of the top 20 in the key approach proximities of 175-200 yards and 200-225 yards. He... Read More
Min Woo Lee A Player To Avoid At The Open
Min Woo Lee has been a popular golfer for fantasy managers this year. The 24-year-old Australian is exciting to watch and has shown the ability to compete with the world's best, as evidenced by his last two major performances being a T5 at the U.S. Open and a T18 at the PGA Championship. But Lee... Read More
Tony Finau Seeking A Return To Form At Royal Liverpool
It hasn't been pretty for Tony Finau since his win at the Mexico Open back in April. In his six starts since that victory, he's missed two cuts and has yet to post a top-20 finish. His putter has been ice-cold during that stretch, as he's lost over two strokes on the green in five... Read More
