The TOUR Championship: Top DraftKings Fantasy Picks

Our lowest-priced player in the lineup this week, Webb Simpson leads off a team that is going to be built primarily of mid-level players. As we continue, we’ll get deeper into the reason for that, but Simpson’s place is definitely deserved at East Lake.

Ranked 41^st in the world and 16^th in the FedEx Cup, Simpson comes into the Tour Championship in solid form. The Wake Forest alum has three top-ten finishes in his last four starts, and he hasn’t missed a cut since the Wells Fargo Championship in May. No, there’s no cut this week, but that’s a testament to his consistency, if nothing else.

Simpson has made his money this year with impressive accuracy off the tee, ranked 29^th in driving accuracy. Despite some shaky iron work – Simpson is ranked just 110^th in greens-in-regulation percentage – he’s settled into a better putting rhythm after the anchor ban. Simpson has moved from 129^th in putting average a year ago, to 29^th this season. He may never be a lights-out putter again, but at least it isn’t a liability anymore.

In four career trips to the Tour Championship, Simpson has two top-five finishes, most recently in 2013. His form isn’t that far off, statistically, from that year, so we’ll look to Webb to replicate those results.
