Quicken Loans National: Featured DraftKings picks
By Sam Belden
Morgan Hoffmann — $7,800
This 27-year-old hasn’t come close to matching his season-best result, a share of second place at the Honda Classic, but he’s still been maintaining consistent form over the past couple of months. For that reason, Hoffmann makes a lot of sense as a mid-level fantasy option in DraftKings this week.
With four top 30 finishes in his last five starts, Hoffmann has been getting positive and repeatable results as the days have gotten longer. That run includes shares of 12th place at both the Wells Fargo Championship and the Dean and DeLuca Invitational, as well as a tie for 26th at last week’s Travelers Championship, so he’s also managed to diversify the sites of his success. While he hasn’t had a very good statistical season to this point, his game has taken a sharp turn for the better of late — he ranked fourth in the field in strokes gained: off-the-tee last week.
At $7,800 in DraftKings, Hoffmann is a quality fantasy option who can give you some flexibility elsewhere in your lineup. 2017 hasn’t been especially kind to him on the whole, but his recent uptick in driving performance makes him a threat to contend anywhere. Invest with confidence.
