Fantasy Golf: Sleeper DraftKings Selections for 2021 AT&T Byron Nelson
By Kasey Kuhrts
My DFS DraftKings sleeper and undervalued selections are back for the AT&T Byron Nelson. This is a very top-heavy field, so finding value will be important this week.
Last week my undervalued and sleeper selections were led by Bubba Watson, who finished in a tie for 18th.

As always, check out Hans Geevers full-lineup picks that he posts each and every week. Hans’ article is also great for reading about the course, and how he believes it will play.
And of course, as always in my articles, I am only looking at players under the average DraftKings salary of $8,333. Finding value is the most important thing when making your selections, so I hope to bring you some solid options.
The key stats I will be looking at this week are strokes gained on approach and putting, par 4 efficiency 400-450 yards, par 4 birdie or better, and driving accuracy. Here are my selections:
Matt Kuchar ($8,200)
My 8K selection of the week is Matt Kuchar. Kuchar is a much different player from the guy who started the season. In his last four starts, Kuchar has three top-18 finishes, highlighted by a third-place finish at the WGC-Match Play.
So far on tour this season Kuchar sits fifth in par 4 efficiency 400-450 yards, 21st in driving accuracy, T39 in par 4 birdie or better, and 95th in strokes gained on approach.
Some of my other favorite 8K selections include Si Woo Kim ($8,800) and Harris English ($8,700)
Camilo Villegas ($7,500)
My first 7K selection of the week is Camilo Villegas. Villegas has shot up the DraftKings price points over the past few weeks, as he has recorded four top-25 finishes in his last five starts.
So far on tour this season Villegas sits 47th in strokes gained on approach and 49th in par 4 birdie or better.
This selection is mostly due to his recent play. Although I have a good idea for key stats this week, the PGA Tour has never played on this course, so there is no history to go off of. That’s why recent play was a big factor in my selections this week.
Sepp Straka ($7,300)
My final 7K selection of the week is Sepp Straka. Sepp has made his last five cuts on tour, highlighted by a top-ten finish at the Corales Puntacana Championship.
So far on tour this season Straka sits 55th in par 4 birdie or better, T71 in par 4 efficiency 400-450 yards, and 99th in strokes gained on approach.
Some of my other favorite 7K selections include Brandt Snedeker ($7,400) and Tom Hoge ($7,200)
K.H. Lee ($6,900)
My first 6K selection of the week is K.H. Lee. K.H. has made five of his last six cuts on tour, highlighted by a top-25 finish at the Valero Texas Open.
So far on tour this season Lee sits 62nd in par 4 efficiency 400-450 yards, and 87th in par 4 birdie or better.
Roger Sloan ($6,900)
My final selection of the week is Roger Sloan. Sloan has made four of his last six cuts on tour, highlighted by three straight top-25’s at the Puerto Rico Open, Honda Classic, and Corales Puntacana Championship.
So far on tour this season Sloan sits 26th in par 4 efficiency 400-450 yards, 30th in strokes gained on approach, and 77th in par 4 birdie or better.
Some of my other favorite 6K selection include Hank Lebioda ($6,900) and J.J. Spaun ($6,600)
