Editor’s Note: While we highlight top players, we may not cover every standout performer. Be sure to check the chart at the bottom of the page for a comprehensive overview. This article will be updated promptly to reflect any last-minute changes due to injuries or weather conditions.
DFS Optimizer Spotlight: For ETR subscribers, we offer two powerful optimizer tools that sync effortlessly with ETR content. Dive into the details of each by clicking the links below: THESOLVER (https://establishtherun.com/the-solver-dfs-optimizer-and-bankroll-tracker/) combines optimization with bankroll tracking, while Fantasy Labs (https://establishtherun.com/etr-promotion-fantasylabs-dfs-optimizer/) focuses solely on lineup optimization.
But here's where it gets controversial... Our top player picks below are based on salary considerations but do not factor in ownership percentages. For instance, Jon Rahm might rank as our top high-range play, but his projected 60% ownership could make him a risky tournament choice. This article is tailored for cash games, where consistency and value are key. For tournaments, you’ll want to focus more on projected ownership and ceiling potential in our projections table.
And this is the part most people miss... Our Top Plays are selected based on median projection, lower volatility, upside, and value, listed in descending order of price. Scroll down for site-specific rankings once salary is factored in.
HIGH-PRICED PLAYERS
Xander Schauffele ($10,500 DK, $12,000 FD) – Schauffele’s 2025 season was a rollercoaster, likely influenced by an early injury he overcame to deliver strong finishes later in the year. His ball-striking prowess remains unparalleled, ranking 12th in Driving Distance over the past 12 months and fourth in this field for Data Golf’s True Strokes Gained: Approach. While his Accuracy Off-the-Tee isn’t his strongest suit, it shouldn’t hinder him here if he leverages his superior distance and precision with irons to dominate the greens.
