Andrew Novak embodies the "consistently inconsistent" persona, having played in six events this year with three missed cuts and three top-13 finishes. He now looks to the Cognizant Classic for more consistency, an event where he has made the cut in three of his four appearances, including a T9 finish last year. PGA National is an unforgiving course that demands precision on approach, an area where Novak ranks 77th, gaining 0.182 strokes on approach per round. He also ranks first on tour in proximity from 150-175 yards, a range that accounts for 22.9% of all approach shots at this course. However, from 175-200 yards, Novak has struggled, ranking 153rd in proximity, and this range makes up 25.2% of all approach shots at PGA National. Novak is a lights-out putter, and as long as he gives himself opportunities on the green with his approach game, his $8,000 price tag on DraftKings makes him a worthwhile option for fantasy managers.

Min Woo Lee has been in excellent form to start 2025 with finishes of T17, T12, and most recently a 48th-place finish at the Genesis Invitational. Since this is his worst result since missing the cut at the Wyndham Championship in August of 2024, we are willing to overlook it. Lee will look to keep the momentum going at the Cognizant Classic, an event where he finished T2 in 2024 and T26 in 2023. The only area where Lee has struggled this season is on approach, where he ranks 142nd in strokes gained, which will be critical this week. Despite losing strokes on approach, Lee currently ranks in the 89th percentile in greens in regulation from 150-200 yards, a range that accounts for 48.1% of all approach shots at PGA National. Given his strong course history and continued solid form, fantasy managers can confidently trust Lee at his $9,200 price tag on DraftKings this week.

After two top-25 finishes to start the year, Mark Hubbard has finished outside the top 65 or missed the cut in four straight events. He now turns his attention to the Cognizant Classic as he aims to get back on track. Hubbard has made eight career starts in this event, with his best finishes being T11 in 2020 and T15 in 2022. PGA National demands precision off the tee and on approach, two areas where Hubbard has struggled. He ranks 95th in driving accuracy and 107th in strokes gained on approach, losing 0.513 strokes over his six starts. Hubbard also ranks in just the 25th percentile for greens in regulation from 150-200 yards, a range that makes up 48.1% of all approach shots at this course. Ranking 119th in scrambling, Hubbard cannot afford to miss greens so frequently. At $6,700 on DraftKings, fantasy managers should carefully weigh their options before adding him to their lineups this week.

Given his constant appearance on the first page of leaderboards to start the season, it's somewhat surprising that Alex Smalley has yet to finish better than T10. He ranks third on the season in strokes gained tee to green (+1.435) and doesn't fall outside the top 50 in any strokes gained metric. He comes to PGA National with a head of steam to keep himself inside the top 50 in the FedEx Cup race. Missing the cut in last year's event and a T55 in 2022, the 28-year-old comes into this week in a much better place than the two previous appearances. Putting has historically caused him the most issues throughout his career, but it seems to be even more exacerbated on bermuda greens. It's worth noting that the flat stick has been much improved to start this season and if it stays healthy on the trip across the country, expect to see Smalley near the lead again.

Taylor Moore finished tied for 34th at last week's Mexico Open and is now preparing for this week's Cognizant Classic, held at PGA National Resort. In his six starts this year, Moore has only missed one cut and has recorded two top-10 finishes. Over the past 12 months, he ranks in the 17th percentile for proximity to the hole on approach shots from 150-200 yards in the fairway. This is noteworthy because, at last year's Cognizant Classic, over 44% of approach shots came from this distance. Moore has been in excellent form this year, making him a strong candidate for DFS lineups this week.

Justin Lower missed the cut at last week's Mexico Open and is now focusing on preparing for this week's Cognizant Classic held at PGA National Resort. He missed the cut in 2024 and finished T64 in 2022. Over the past 12 months, Lower ranks in the 58th percentile for proximity to the hole on approach shots from 150 to 200 yards in the fairway. This is significant because, at last year's Cognizant Classic, over 44% of approach shots came from this distance. Given Lower's recent form and past performance at this event, he may be a risky choice for DFS lineups this week.

Max Greyserman finished T24 at the Genesis Invitational two weeks ago and has successfully made the cut in all of his appearances so far in 2025. He is now focusing on preparing for this week's Cognizant Classic, which will be held at PGA National Resort. This will be Greyserman's second appearance at the Cognizant Classic, where he previously finished T47 in 2024. In the past 12 months, Greyserman ranks in the 33rd percentile for proximity to the hole on approach shots from 150 to 200 yards in the fairway. This is particularly relevant because over 44% of approach shots at last year's Cognizant Classic came from this distance. Given his recent performance, Greyserman could be a strong addition to DFS lineups this week.

Jake Knapp finished 25th at last week's Mexico Open and is now shifting his focus to the upcoming Cognizant Classic at PGA National Resort. He has missed only one cut this season and has been in excellent form overall. This will be Knapp's second appearance at the Cognizant Classic, where he previously finished tied for fourth in 2024. In the past 12 months, Knapp ranks in the 36th percentile for proximity to the hole on approach shots from 150 to 200 yards in the fairway. This is significant because over 44% of approach shots at last year's Cognizant Classic came from this distance. Given his recent performance, Knapp could be a strong addition to DFS lineups this week.

Sungjae Im missed the cut at the Genesis Invitational two weeks ago and is now focusing on preparing for this week's Cognizant Classic at PGA National Resort. Im has had mixed results at this tournament in the past: he missed the cut in 2024, finished tied for 42nd in 2023, and also missed the cut in 2022 when it was known as the Honda Classic. It's worth noting that at last year's Cognizant Classic, over 44% of approach shots came from 150 to 200 yards. In the past 12 months, Im ranks in the 62nd percentile for proximity to the hole on approach shots from this distance in the fairway. Including him in DFS lineups this week carries some risk.

Austin Eckroat missed the cut at the Genesis Invitational two weeks ago, marking his fourth missed cut in six appearances. He is now focusing on preparing for this week's Cognizant Classic at PGA National Resort, where he is the defending champion. Eckroat will need to improve his game to have a chance at defending his title. It's worth noting that over the past 12 months, Eckroat ranks in the 92nd percentile for proximity to the hole on approach shots from 150 to 200 yards in the fairway. This is significant because, at last year's Cognizant Classic, over 44% of approach shots came from this distance. Including Eckroat in DFS lineups this week carries some risk.

Billy Horschel missed the cut at the Genesis Invitational two weeks ago and is now focusing on preparing for this week's Cognizant Classic at PGA National Resort. Historically, Horschel has performed well at the Cognizant Classic, finishing tied for ninth in 2024, 42nd in 2023, and 16th in 2022, when the tournament was known as the Honda Classic. Over the past 12 months, Horschel has ranked in the 42nd percentile for proximity to the hole on approach shots from 150-200 yards in the fairway. This is significant, as over 44% of approach shots at last year's Cognizant Classic came from this distance. Despite missing the cut in two consecutive tournaments, Horschel's past performance at this event suggests he could be a valuable addition to DFS lineups this week.

Luke Clanton narrowly missed securing his PGA Tour card after missing the cut by one stroke at the Waste Management Phoenix Open earlier this month. He will have another opportunity when he tees it up for the Cognizant Classic held at PGA National Resort this week. To secure his card, Clanton needs to make the cut. In 2025, he ranks 11th on tour in strokes gained off the tee, and he will need to maintain this level of play to give himself a chance this week. Clanton is eager to secure his card, but including him in DFS lineups carries some risk.

Brian Harman finished tied for 17th at the Genesis Invitational two weeks ago, marking his second consecutive top-25 finish and his third in 2025.

This will be Harman's first appearance at the tournament since 2022 when it was known as the Honda Classic. Over the past 12 months, Harman ranks in the 95th percentile for proximity to the hole on approach shots from 150-200 yards in the fairway. This is particularly relevant because, at last year's Cognizant Classic, over 44% of approach shots came from this distance. Harman has been in excellent form this year and could be a valuable addition to DFS lineups this week.
