Phil Mickelson Will Attempt To Stay Hot At Riviera
2/13:Phil Mickelson heads to the Genesis Open fresh off a win in last week's AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, the 44th of his career. 'Lefty' will attempt to stay hot at Riviera this week, a course where he scored back-to-back victories in 2008 and 2009. Mickelson has played well in his recent Genesis starts, finishing tied for sixth in last season's tournament. The 48-year-old is redefining what is possible for older players on the PGA Tour and there's no reason to think he can't continue his great play this week.

Marc Leishman Rested And Ready For Genesis Open
2/13:Marc Leishman is in the field for the upcoming Genesis Open. Leishman began the season on fire, picking up a win and two top-five's, but the 'Big Aussie' managed just a T43 in his last outing at the Farmers Open to close out January. He has skipped the last two events on the PGA schedule to rest and recharge. Leishman will need all the preparation he can get for the Genesis Open, as he's surprisingly struggled in his recent Riviera starts. The 35-year-old has missed the cut in three of his last four trips to the legendary L.A. track, but did mix in a T5 in 2016. Leishman's spotty course history makes him a GPP-only option in DFS this week. Source: PGA Tour

Casey continues to be a rock-solid DFS option and carries an affordable sub-$9k price tag on DraftKings this week. Source: PGA Tour
