Brooks Koepka — $10,200

While many of his peers were flummoxed by the tough layout at THE PLAYERS Championship, this Florida native managed to continue his highly productive spring by notching a solid finish. Koepka has plenty of momentum heading into this week’s AT&T Byron Nelson, so look for him to shoot some good rounds.

With four consecutive top 20 finishes, Koepka stands out as one of the hottest players in this week’s field. His game has held up nicely at the big-time events, but he’s also been able to do damage at less popular stops like the Valero Texas Open, where he was the runner-up. In terms of course history, he hasn’t logged too many rounds at TPC Four Seasons, but with two top 20s in three career starts, including a playoff loss to Sergio Garcia in 2016, his track record is already noteworthy. To top it off, he ranks 14th on the PGA Tour in strokes gained: putting.

At $10,200 in DraftKings, Koepka will require a significant investment from fantasy managers this week, but he’s got enough game to make it worth your while. He checks all the boxes for projected success, and last year’s near miss should provide any extra motivation he needs.
