Andrew Novak heads to Houston in an effort to find his golf game again. The American golfer has made five cuts and missed five cuts in 2025. It has been a roller coaster ride alternating between cuts and close brushes with contention. Since the outright third at the Farmers Insurance Open, Novak seems to have one or two erratic rounds every event. At the Valspar, Novak looked solid until a final round 75 derailed any contention hopes. Approaching the green has been a mixed bag but Novak ranks 126th in strokes gained at -0.226. Novak could again struggle given the potential for changing weather conditions later this week.

Keith Mitchell has had some nice first rounds of late. The American golfer started off well with a 67 at the Valspar Championship. After that, some erratic shots and missed putts led to Mitchell winding up +2 after four rounds and outside the Top 50. Mitchell has not finished inside the Top 20 once in 2025. He has been great off the tee but putting metrics are slightly below average. Mitchell ranks 115th in strokes gained to putting at -0.108. Worse, he is averaging 30 putts per final round which is more than a full round above the first three. Mitchell's lack of finishing makes it hard to play him from a DFS perspective or make a bet on a Top 20 placement. However, he could start well providing he has a good tee time.

Maverick McNealy had a very nice 2025 to start. However, the American golfer has missed the cut in his previous two events. Worse, the Florida type of weather most are used to seeing is expected in Texas for Thursday and Friday perhaps. It is strange that McNealy took a few weeks off after the Genesis Invitational and everything skewed off. Seeing two second rounds of 80 or worse is rare but it happened. The greens should be slow for most if not all four rounds. McNealy stands at +5000 on DraftKings but it is hard to be sure of even what to expect from a DFS standpoint. For what it is worth, the last two events have thrown several main metrics off kilter. It may be best to see how McNealy performs first at the Texas Children's Houston Open.

Jason Day finished tied for eighth at the Arnold Palmer Invitational earlier this month and is now focusing on preparing for this week's Texas Children's Houston Open, held at Memorial Park Golf Course. So far in 2025, he has not missed a cut, although he did miss the cut at this event last year. Over the past 12 months, Day ranks in the 29th percentile for proximity to the hole on approach shots from 150-200 yards in the fairway. This is noteworthy because, at last year's Texas Children's Houston Open, over 38% of approach shots came from this distance. Day may go overlooked in fantasy lineups this week, but including him carries some risk.

Kevin Yu finished tied for 12th at last week's Valspar Championship and is now focusing on preparing for this week's Texas Children's Houston Open, which will take place at Memorial Park Golf Course. So far in 2025, Yu has three top-20 finishes but also missed three cuts. Over the past 12 months, he ranks in the 86th percentile for proximity to the hole on approach shots from 150-200 yards in the fairway. This is particularly relevant because last year at the Texas Children's Houston Open, over 38% of approach shots came from this distance. While Yu has shown strong performances at times this season, his inconsistency makes him a risky inclusion in DFS lineups this week.

J.J. Spaun finished second at The PLAYERS Championship two weeks ago, losing to Rory McIlroy in a playoff. He is now focusing on preparing for this week's Texas Children's Houston Open, which will take place at Memorial Park Golf Course. Last year, Spaun tied for 36th in this event and has not missed the cut so far in 2025. Over the past 12 months, he has ranked in the 74th percentile for proximity to the hole on approach shots from 150-200 yards in the fairway. This is significant because over 38% of approach shots during last year's Texas Children's Houston Open came from that distance. Spaun could be a valuable addition to DFS lineups this week.

Min Woo Lee finished in a tie for 20th at The PLAYERS Championship two weeks ago and is now focusing on preparing for this week's Texas Children's Houston Open, which will take place at Memorial Park Golf Course. Lee has missed only one cut in his nine starts this season. Over the past 12 months, he ranks in the 38th percentile for proximity to the hole on approach shots from 150-200 yards in the fairway. It's important to note that at last year's Texas Children's Houston Open, over 38% of approach shots came from this distance. Lee could be a valuable addition to DFS lineups this week.

Rickie Fowler finished 71st at The PLAYERS Championship two weeks ago and is now focusing on preparing for this week's Texas Children's Houston Open, which will be held at Memorial Park Golf Course. Fowler has not missed the cut in any of his tournaments in 2025, although he did withdraw from the Waste Management Phoenix Open last month. Over the past 12 months, he ranks in the 68th percentile for proximity to the hole on approach shots from 150-200 yards in the fairway. This is particularly noteworthy because over 38% of approach shots last year at the Texas Children's Houston Open came from this distance. While Fowler could be a valuable addition to DFS lineups this week, it's important to note that including him also carries some risk.

Tony Finau missed the cut at The PLAYERS Championship two weeks ago, but he is now focused on preparing for the Texas Children's Houston Open, which will be held at Memorial Park Golf Course. This was Finau's first missed cut in his last three starts. Last year, he finished tied for second at this tournament and won it in 2023, when it was known as the Cadence Bank Houston Open. Over the past 12 months, Finau ranks in the 93rd percentile for proximity to the hole on approach shots from 150-200 yards in the fairway. This is significant because, at last year's Texas Children's Houston Open, over 38% of approach shots were taken from this distance. Despite coming off a missed cut, Finau's past success at this tournament could make him a strong candidate for DFS lineups this week.

Joel Dahmen missed the cut at last week's Valspar Championship and is now focused on preparing for the Texas Children's Houston Open at Memorial Park Golf Course. This marks Dahmen's first missed cut in his last three tournaments. He also missed the cut at last year's Texas Children's Houston Open. Over the past 12 months, Dahmen has ranked in the 92nd percentile for proximity to the hole on approach shots from 150-200 yards in the fairway. This is significant because over 38% of approach shots at last year's Texas Children's Houston Open came from that distance. Including Dahmen in DFS lineups this week carries some risk.

Wyndham Clark had to withdraw from The PLAYERS Championship two weeks ago and is now focusing on preparing for this week's Texas Children's Houston Open, which will be held at Memorial Park Golf Course. Last year, Clark finished tied for 31st at this event. Over the past 12 months, he ranks in the 71st percentile for proximity to the hole on approach shots from 150-200 yards in the fairway. This is significant because, at last year's Texas Children's Houston Open, over 38% of approach shots came from this distance. Considering his recent form and past success at this tournament, Clark could be a valuable addition to DFS lineups this week.

Jake Knapp has had a fantastic start to the 2025 season. In nine events played, he has only missed the cut one time and has finished in the top 25 or better in four straight. His putter has been on fire this year and has been a reliable weapon, helping him get out of jams. This week will be his first start at the Valspar Championship. Precision from tee to green, as well as outstanding short game play will be essential to success this week. While he ranks 149th in driving accuracy, he makes up for it with his incredible scrambling, where he ranks 49th. His game is in great form heading into this week and worth a play in DFS.

After missing the cut at The PLAYERS Championship this past week, Adam Hadwin is looking to bounce back at this week's Valspar Championship. Hadwin has been relatively inconsistent in 2025, with three missed cuts and only one top-10 finish. However, he has an excellent track record at this event. He won back in 2017 and has three top-15 finishes. His game suits Copperhead well with his accuracy off the tee and a stellar short game around the green, where he ranks 80th and 53rd on Tour. Hadwin is a prime bounce-back candidate and is worth a flyer this week.

To say Cam Davis has struggled in his last three events is an understatement. After finishing tied for fifth in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, he has failed to make the cut in his previous three tournaments played. To make matters worse, he has only played in the Valspar Championship twice, missing the cut both times. The key to success at Copperhead is precision off the tee and solid short game. Davis ranks 35th in strokes gained around the green; however, he also ranks 169th in strokes gained off the tee and 135th in driving accuracy. Avoid him at all costs this week

Sepp Straka had another impressive tournament at The PLAYERS, gaining strokes across all areas and finishing T14. This marks his seventh top-20 finish of the season and he looks to keep the momentum going at the Valspar Championship, an event he has played in twice, missing the cut in 2024 and finishing T46 in 2023. To succeed at Copperhead, players need to be precise from tee to green and sharp with their short game. Straka ranks 12th in strokes gained from tee to green (1.204 per round), sixth on approach (0.933), 85th around the green (0.031), and 53rd in putting (0.283). He also excels in other key areas, ranking 10th in bogey avoidance, 11th in driving accuracy, and is in the 98th percentile for proximity from 150-200 yards over the past 12 months, a range that accounted for 37% of all approach shots here last year. At $10,000 on DraftKings, fantasy managers can confidently continue to fire up Straka.
