$7,000 and below

Hudson Swafford ($6,900): I can’t quit you, Hudson Swafford. The last two times I’ve gone in on Swafford, he’s missed the cut. However, his ball striking remains something I’m confident in, as are his three top-10 finishes this season.

Nick Taylor ($6,900): Nick Taylor is most definitely going to be a tremendously solid play this week. He’s riding a bit of a hot streak right now, posting three-straight top-25s. What’s more, his last outing saw him go for a tie for eighth. He has just one over-par round in his last 13 and he’s going to be a great, steady value play this week.

Brian Gay ($6,800): The last two outings have been lackluster for Brian Gay with missing the cut at THE PLAYERs and a T52 at the Wells Fargo. Prior to that, though, he had two consecutive tied-sixth finishes. Obviously there’s risk here, but he could be nice value on DraftKings.

Jonathan Randolph ($6,700): In his first three tournaments of 2017, Jonathan Randolph missed the cut twice. In his last three, he’s not finished worse than tied-27th. Which version of him shows up is up for debate. But considering his last showing was a T8 at the Wells Fargo, I’m inclined to believe in him.

Zac Blair ($6,600): Buckle up if you have Zac Blair in your DraftKings picks, because you have no idea what he’s going to offer. Case-in-point, here are his last five finishes: Cut-T12-Cut-T32-T8. The upside is there, but so too is the downside.

Anirban Lahiri ($6,400): Anirban Lahiri’s last four showings haven’t been great as he’s been cut twice and hasn’t cracked the top 40. However, in Europe and on the PGA Tour, he has two top-10s and five top-25 finishes. Another upside value pick here.
