For daily fantasy sports (DFS) enthusiasts aiming to enhance their gameplay, leveraging tools like the DFS Optimizer and Simulation tools from The Solver can be extremely beneficial. Notably, if you’re an ETR In-Season subscriber, your projections and expected ownership data will seamlessly sync to The Solver, streamlining your planning process.
It is important to remember that while we highlight top player potential, not every player considered a leading choice will be detailed in this article. To stay updated with any relevant injury or weather news that could affect player performance, be sure to consult the accompanying chart.
For those seeking a DFS optimizer, two impressive options await ETR subscribers. Both products—The Solver (which includes an optimizer and bankroll tracker) and Fantasy Labs (optimizer)—will automatically integrate with ETR’s content, encompassing projections and ownership metrics if you have a golf subscription.
The following analysis identifies our top players for upcoming events, focusing primarily on salary without factoring in ownership percentages. For example, even though Jon Rahm might be regarded as a top-tier choice, high ownership percentages could impact his tournament viability.
This content mainly targets cash games, where nearly half the participants receive payouts, such as in head-to-head or double-up contests. However, for tournament play, we recommend closely examining projected ownership and ceiling values provided in our projections table.
Here’s a glimpse at our top picks, evaluated based on multiple criteria including median projection, volatility, upside, and value—listed in descending order of price:
**High-Priced Player Highlight:**
Akshay Bhatia ($9,700 DK, $12,000 FD) stands out among high-priced players, ranking first in Data Golf’s True Strokes Gained: Total. While he may not excel in driving distance—placing 73rd in the field—his strong skill baseline and impressive putter ranking position him as a formidable contender. Bhatia’s track record indicates he can achieve exceptional performances on the greens, an essential quality for success at the Sanderson Farms tournament.
By integrating these strategies and insights, players can elevate their DFS experience, resulting in more informed decisions and potentially greater success in contests. With updated player data and analysis, remain vigilant for any shifts in the upcoming DFS landscape.
