$8,000-$9,000

Charles Howell ($9,000)
Charles Howell has yet to miss a cut this season, even with missing two months due to injury. He came back from that injury at the Quicken Loans and finished second in the tournament. Though tying for 45th last week wasn’t great, it was still a fine outing for him and he could be well worth the price.

Kevin Streelman ($8,800)
You already have to like the fact that Kevin Streelman has made 12-of-16 cuts this season. However, his recent performance is enough to make you fall head over heels for him in DraftKings play. He tied for 29th last week, which is his worst finish in his last five events. He’s also registered a top-10, two top-15 finishes and four top-20 showings. He’s big-time right now, which is why he’s a bit pricey.

Robert Streb ($8,700)
There hasn’t been a great deal of consistency with Robert Streb in 2017. However, he made his fourth consecutive cut last week, where he went on to finish second at The Greenbrier. Does this mean he’s coming through and finding something, or will the inconsistency bite again? Ah, the glory of weak fields.

Bud Cauley ($8,500)
It’s been hard to trust Bud Cauley this season or predict when he’s going to be on. However, when he’s been good, he’s been close to great with four top-10 finishes already this year. What’s more, he hasn’t finished worse that 41st in any tournament he’s seen the weekend for. He’s a huge DraftKings gamble, but one that could pay off big.

Chez Reavie ($8,400)
June was a nice month for Chez Reavie (and a little bit at the end of May). He made four-straight cuts and finished in the top 50 in each of those tournaments. On the high end, Reavie also finished tied for fourth at the FedEx St. Jude and then tied for 16th at the U.S. Open. He’s taken the last two weeks off, but maybe he’s still in that form.

Ben Martin ($8,300)
Ben Martin has been solid in terms of making cuts this season, especially of late when he’s made seven-straight. However, he’s been inconsistent in regards to his finishing. Coming off of a tied-fifth finish at the Quicken Loans and then a T37 at The Greenbrier, though, he’s on a semi-heater that is something potentially worth taking a gamble on.

David Hearn ($8,200)
Few players on the PGA Tour are playing as well as David Hearn has been of late. He’s made his last four cuts, which is fine and promising. What’s better, though, is how he’s finished in those four weeks. He’s registered two top-10 finishes and three top-15 finishes in his last four events. You have to really like where he’s at, especially in this weak field for the John Deere.
