$7,000-$8,000

Daniel Berger ($8,000)
Coming off of his win at the St. Jude, Daniel Berger is playing great golf right now. He finished tied for 27th at The Masters and also has two additional top-10 finishes to go with his recent win. The price might be risky, but that makes him a potentially solid play.

Kevin Chappell ($7,900)
Kevin Chappell has made his last eight cuts and, in his last four tournaments, has performed well enough. Though he has two finishes outside of the top 30, he also has a win and another top-five finish. When he’s at his best, he’s well worth this price tag.

Thomas Pieters ($7,700)
There’s a bit of variance when it comes to Thomas Pieters, who’s only played in five PGA Tour events this year. He’s missed the cut twice, but the other three finishes were all in the top five. It’s a risk here, but the Belgian could come up massive in this second major.

Matt Kuchar ($7,600)
Great value here when it comes to Matt Kuchar. Not only has he played incredibly well this season, but he’s been hot as of late. He’s not finished worse than T12 in his last three tournaments, which includes a top-10 and top-five finish. He’s a veteran and should show up well at Erin Hills.

Kevin Kisner ($7,500)
Kevin Kisner has been quite steady this season, registering a win at the DEAN & DELUCA and five top-10 finishes on the year. While he’s had some duds here and there, he’s consistently made the cut and is good value.

Tyrell Hatton ($7,500)
2017 started off hot for Tyrell Hatton, but has cooled off considerably since missing the cut at The Masters. Prior to that, however, he had three top-five finishes and four top-10 finishes. If he can regain that form, he’ll be a great play on DraftKings.

Louis Oosthuizen ($7,400)
Louis Oosthuizen has been playing wel this season, making the cut in all nine tournaments that he’s played in. He has three top-10 finishes to date, including tying for second at THE PLAYERS. He’s a strong candidate this week at a great price.

Rafa Cabrera Bello ($7,400)
Inconsistency has overall marred Rafa Cabrera Bello’s season. However, he’s finished tied for fourth in two of his last three tournaments and in the top 25 in three of his last four. When he’s at his best, he’s a contender.

Bud Cauley ($7,300)
Bud Cauley hasn’t been particularly steady this season. However, his last five tournaments have been quite great. He’s put up three top-10 finishes and four top-25s. Thus, he’s in great form as he comes into the US Open.

Adam Hadwin ($7,200)
Admittedly, Adam Hadwin has cooled off from a red-hot start and missed the cut in his last outing at the Memorial. However, with three top-10s and a win to his credit, it’s hard not to like him.

Brendan Steele ($7,100)
Don’t let a poor showing at the Memorial sour you on Brendan Steele. He tied for sixth at THE PLAYERS and hasn’t missed a cut all year. He’s a solid player that could put up a solid number at Erin Hills in terms of DraftKings scoring.

Bernd Wiesberger ($7,100)
Playing only three PGA Tour events this year, Bernd Wiesberger has been great wherever. He’s made the cut in every tournament, both stateside and in Europe. What’s more, he finished tied for 12th at THE PLAYERS and has registered four top-10 finishes.
