8,000-9,000

Brandt Snedeker ($9,000)
With a 59 on his scorecard en route to a victory last week, you have to be intrigued by Snedeker. However, he’s been a tough one to peg for most of this season as his results have been a little all over the place. His value is a little diminished coming off the big win and the 59, but he’s interesting still.

Adam Scott ($8,900)
Another inconsistent player, Scott may be even harder to peg this year than Snedeker. Most recently though, he also showed well with a third-place finish at the PGA. Is that enough to make DraftKings players believe in what he can do this week? It’s a tough ask.

Zach Johnson ($8,700)
Dating back to the US Open, Zach Johnson doesn’t have a top-10 finish to his credit. That’s the bad news. However, the good news is that the Iowan also doesn’t have a finish outside of the top 20 in that stretch. He’s as steady of a hand as you can ask for, which might be nice to have for The Northern Trust.

Patrick Cantlay ($8,600)
Cantlay has put together a better 2018 season than you might realize. Not only does he have five top-10s and a win this year, but he’s also been playing well recently with only two finishes outside of the top 27 in his last nine starts. That could mean nice value here.

Tony Finau ($8,500)
After being a surefire great value, Finau has been a little up-and-down to finish this season, alternating top-10 finishes and finishes outside of the top 35 as of late. We know the upside, but it’s hard to trust him in your lineup in such a loaded field.

Paul Casey ($8,300)
Casey may have missed the cut his last time out at the PGA Championship, but he’s been quite good for much of this year. What’s more, he finished fifth at The Northern Trust last season, thus making him an interesting play at a nice price.

Tyrrell Hatton ($8,100)
Hatton has two wins, eight top-10 finishes and some of the most upside at anyone around this price. Yes, he’s had some cold spells this season, but that might be behind him with six-straight made cuts and only one finish outside the top 30 over that stretch.
