Fantasy Golf: FedEx St. Jude Classic DraftKings Picks

Fantasy golf always gets a boost in the lead-in to a major championship. This week at the FedEx St. Jude Classic is no different. We’re breaking down five high-value picks you can use to help win your DraftKings league.

Fantasy golf fanatics are preparing for one of their biggest weeks of the season right now. No, not next week’s U.S. Open. It’s the FedEx St. Jude Classic, which is far more than “just” the lead-in event before the year’s second major.

While the majors and WGC events get all the glitz and glamor, intrepid fantasy gamers know that the week before these big-time events can be just as important. Why? That’s pretty simple. Players are either tuning their game for the ensuing major, which often leads to some blistering scores. Otherwise, they’re playing to qualify, or at least set themselves up for future majors.

This week we’ll get a nice mix of both types of players, and they can both help your fantasy golf lineup. And I’m here to help with any of those last-minute lineup decisions you might be faced with.

Before we kick it off, a few quick notes. This is not meant to be a full lineup column. Rather, we’ll examine players at a variety of price points that should provide above-average value for their salary. That being said, however, all of the players discussed in this column will fit on a roster, should you so choose. I always put together at least one team with each of these players, if only to keep myself honest.

Finally, as always, we’re using DraftKings standard rules and salaries for the purposes of this article. If you play on another site, or with a unique rule set, you may need to adjust accordingly. That doesn’t invalidate the content, but you’ll definitely want to keep that in mind.

With that out of the way, let’s dive right into the rankings, starting with a player you might not be paying too much attention to.
