Jordan Spieth finished tied for 18th at the RBC Heritage two weeks ago and is now focusing on preparing for the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, which will be held at TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney, Texas. Spieth has three consecutive top-20 finishes and five in his nine starts this season. It's worth noting that he missed the cut at this event last year. Over the past 12 months, Spieth ranks in the 79th percentile in proximity to the hole on approach shots from over 200 yards in the fairway. This is significant because, at last year's CJ Cup Byron Nelson, over 38% of approach shots came from this distance. Given his recent performance, Spieth could be a valuable addition to DFS lineups this week.

After posting a solid 73-73-69-70 at The Masters, Jordan Spieth finished T14, marking his second consecutive top-15 finish and his fourth of the season. He'll look to build on this performance at the RBC Heritage, where he's competed eight times, winning in 2022 and finishing as the runner-up in 2023. To repeat that success, Spieth will need to be accurate off the tee and precise with his irons. He's been solid in these areas this season, ranking 62nd in strokes gained on approach and 51st in driving accuracy. However, Spieth ranks in just the 19th percentile over the last 12 months in proximity from 150–200 yards, a key range considering 42.5% of all approach shots came from that distance last year. Spieth carries some risk, but his strong track record at Harbour Town makes him a viable option for fantasy managers at his $9,200 price tag on DraftKings.

Coming off a T12 in San Antonio, Jordan Spieth prepares to make his 12th career start at The Masters this week; the first since having wrist surgery this past August. Things have been as turbulent as we remember since returning to competition in February. Putting and approach play have been all over the place, but the good has been really good; the bad, unfortunately, has been really bad. With such back-and-forth play, the former Texas Longhorn is in the middle of the pack for strokes gained statistics. Perhaps most concerning is that most of his proximity numbers rank outside the top 100 from most distances, as Augusta National is notoriously unforgiving to misplaced shots. This creates an interesting scenario for DFS purposes because the risk is worth the reward if course history has any control. But a poor week could tank the lineup, which is more plausible given what the stats say. At $10,300, Spieth could be a bold pick for those looking for possible ownership leverages.

Perhaps one of the biggest conundrums for DFS this season is what to make of Jordan Spieth. The former Longhorn has returned to deliver the same gut-wrenching performances he did before his injury stint. Approach play has been all over the place, with him gaining over seven shots with his irons at both the Phoenix Open and his last start at Valspar. However, he lost strokes in large amounts in the three events in between. More frustrating is that most other metrics have been equally as much of a rollercoaster. The biggest reason for trusting Spieth this week is the incredible course history at TPC San Antonio, where he secured a victory in 2021. At $11,100 on FanDuel Spieth carries a ton of risk, but the winnable upside is there.
