9,000-10,000
Justin Rose ($9,900)
Because he hasn’t won since May of this year, the run that Justin Rose has been on overall this season continues to be overlooked. However, he’s still one of the most sure bets that you can find for DraftKings, especially at this price. He’s not missed a cut and still has an absurd 13 top-10 finishes in only 19 starts to this point.
Jon Rahm ($9,700)
When he’s on, there are few golfers in the world that can bring it like Jon Rahm can. He undoubtedly put that on display his last time out as he tied for fourth at the PGA Championship. However, his second round at the British showed what can happen if things start to go a little bit awry. Which version will we get at The Northern Trust? It’s hard to say, but might be worth the risk.
Jordan Spieth ($9,600)
Last year, it was Jordan Spieth that Johnson beat out to win this tournament. However, this has looked like a different version of Spieth this year. He’s been all over the map in terms of his play and finishes and is anything but a sure bet at this point. You’d be taking a leap of faith to put him in your DraftKings lineup this week.
Francesco Molinari ($9,500)
Despite his T39 at the Bridgestone, we’re still on a bit of a heater from Francesco Molinari. He won at the Quciken Loans, went T2 at the John Deere, won the Open Championship and then was T6 at the PGA after the Bridgestone. Have yourself a season, Mr. Molinari! He’s good value if you don’t want to break the bank with the higher-end players you put in your lineup.
Tommy Fleetwood ($9,400)
I still believe in Tommy Fleetwood. Yeah, I said it. The Englishman may not have fully gotten over the hump just yet, but he’s still a great player who has only missed two cuts in 26 starts this season while also still registering 10 finishes in the top 10. With the heat on him, I think he could prove he belongs in the FedEx Cup Playoffs right now.
