$7,000-$8,000

Xander Schauffele ($7,900)
Though his finishing position has worsened since, Xander Schauffele has played well in since tying for fifth at the U.S. Open, coming in at tied for 14th at the Travelers and tied for 35th last week. With his talent level in a weak field, he could be worth gambling that he stays in this type of form.

Jimmy Walker ($7,800)
Many aren’t a fan of Jimmy Walker this week and it’s not hard to see why. He’s been struggling with Lyme disease this year and has missed the cut badly in his past two tournaments. However, The Greenbrier should play to his strengths if he can reel in his shots off the tee. He’s a risk, but one with a chance to pay off big.

Gary Woodland ($7,500)
Gary Woodland has finished outside of the top 40 in each of his last six tournaments and outside of the top 35 in each of his last seven. With that said, he has made the cut at least in each of his last four and has a strong showing to his credit at the Old White TPC in 2011 (T4).

Bryson DeChambeau ($7,400)
The horrible form in 2017 for Bryson DeChambeau has been a talking point for many after the polarizing figure showed promise last year. However, he may have found the right bit of tinkering as he’s finishes tied for 26th and tied for 17th in his past two tournaments. With how his putter looked in the final round of the Quicken Loans National, he could be great value this week.

David Hearn ($7,400)
Tying for 73rd at the Quicken Loans National isn’t a great way to come into The Greenbrier, but David Hearn had two top-10 finishes in his previous two outings. His inconsistency is what has plagued him, though, so he’s most certainly a risk if you put him in your lineup.

Ben Martin ($7,300)
Ben Martin now has six-straight made cuts, which is impressive given his issues early in the season. However, he’s coming off tying for fifth last week, which is his second top-20 finish in those six made cuts. He’s risky given that he’s not a consistently high finisher, but there’s a bit to like about his recent form.

Morgan Hoffman ($7,100)
Despite missing the cut last week at the Quicken Loans National, Morgan Hoffman is a nice value on DraftKings. He struggled earlier in the year, but had finished in the top 27 in four of his previous five tournaments coming into last week. If he can get his game back a little bit, he’ll be a nice value.
