$8,000-$9,000

Lucas Glover ($8,600)
Put simply, you want Glover in your DraftKings fantasy golf lineup this weekend. He’s a nice ball-striker and that’s going to be pivotal at the Wells Fargo. Just as importantly, he’s been playing well this season for the most part. He’s only finished outside of the top 35 twice in seven tournaments in 2017 and has finished 41st or higher in six of those seven tournaments. He’ll be a relatively nice value for the production in DFS scoring he should produce.

Kevin Kisner ($8,400)
This is another player I’m quite high on this weekend at the Wells Fargo. Kisner has been playing extremely solid golf, though he was decidedly mediocre at The Masters with a tied-43rd finish. However, the other three tournaments in his last four feature all top-11 finishes. He also finished tied for second at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. When you then bring into play that he’s been a solid player and good finisher at virtually every type of course he’s been on this season, he should be safe money at this price that will score well for your lineup.

Daniel Berger ($8,300)
Berger was a bit of a flier for The Masters and he ultimately rewarded those willing to take a risk on an unpredictable weekend as he finished tied-27th. Prior to that, he played a nice weekend of golf to finish fifth at the Shell Houston Open. Outside of that, though, it’s been hot or cold. It feels like Berger is either going to finish in the top 20 or get cut with no real in-between. That’s infinitely frustrating in DraftKings fantasy golf. But it could pay off if you’re willing to take the risk.

J.B. Holmes ($8,000)
This is very nice value for Holmes as ball-striking is going to be big. He’s a big hitter, as we know. But he’s also a player who’s overall struggles can largely be traced to the greens. I don’t think that will be a major factor at the Wells Fargo. Instead, I think he could put on a nice overall show at Eagle Point. He’s largely been a top-35 shoo-in this season and should continue that with upside this weekend.
