10,000+

Dustin Johnson ($11,600)
It feels like I say this often, but it’s wild that Dustin Johnson can have an “off” week and still finish stronger than most. Last week, he felt pretty forgettable, yet he finished T11 at The Northern Trust. That’s just who he is at this point, the best player in the world right now. There’s a reason his DraftKings price is this high — he’s worth it if you can build with value around him.

Justin Thomas ($11,400)
Thomas has seemingly found his groove after missing the cut at the British Open in mid-July. Since then, he’s gone on to win at the Bridgestone, tie for sixth at the PGA Championship and then go T8 last week at The Northern Trust. The defending FedEx Cup Champion is clearly in line to compete for the title again and, despite the high price, may still be worth it.

Brooks Koepka ($11,000)
Had it not been for a slight hiccup in the third round as he shot 1-over par last week, Koepka could have been in contention to follow up his PGA Championship victory with another at The Northern Trust. Even still, he finished T8 to give him three-straight top-10 finishes right now. He’s clearly in top form and, if you’re willing to fork over the DraftKings dough, you could be rewarded.

Rory McIlroy ($10,600)
McIlroy didn’t play last week so he could rest following a T50 at the PGA Championship, but he’s back for the Dell Technologies Championship. Having said that, should anyone be that excited? Yes, his eight top-10 finishes show that he’s still one of the world’s best when he’s on, but figuring out when he’s on has been a crap shoot at best this season.

Jason Day ($10,400)
After finishing T20 last week, Day has finished in the top 20 in each of his last five tournaments played. No one is going to deny that the Aussie is immensely talented, but he’s truly been putting it on display as he’s not been playing his best and still finishing well. Still, this is a steep price to pay if he can’t get over the hump.
