Cameron Smith will make his second career start at the Players Championship this week. Smith failed to make the cut at TPC Sawgrass in his debut last season. The 24-year-old Australian golfer is quietly having one of the best seasons on tour. He has produced five top-10 finishes, which includes a T5 at this year's Masters. Smith, who is a resident of Jacksonville, Florida, will get to play at a course less than 50 miles from his home this week. Smith carries a $7,600 price tag on DraftKings and is projected to be only six percent owned. At such a low ownership projection, Smith makes for an intriguing option in all leagues.--Spencer Aguiar - RotoBaller

Cameron Smith finished tied for ninth at the LIV Miami tournament and is now focusing on preparing for this week's Masters Tournament at Augusta National. This season, he has two top-10 finishes in seven tournaments, with his lowest finish being tied for 39th. Last year, Smith finished tied for sixth at the Masters Tournament. Over the past 12 months, he ranks in the 72nd percentile for proximity to the hole on approach shots from 150-200 yards in the fairway. This is significant because, at last year's Masters Tournament, over 37% of approach shots came from this distance. Smith could be a valuable addition to DFS lineups this week.--Ian Christenson - RotoBaller

Cameron Smith was a massive letdown for fantasy managers in his last Major appearance at the PGA Championship. The 30-year-old Aussie and LIV defector lost over four strokes ball-striking and over two strokes putting en route to an ugly T63 performance. That performance is likely to lead to a major decrease in his DFS ownership, and fantasy managers should jump on Smith as a potentially huge leverage play. Pinehurst will be one of the most difficult short game tests golfers will see in any given year, and Smith is arguable the world's best in that category. He also appears to raise his baseline in Majors, as he's gained an average of seven strokes in the short game over his last seven Major appearances. Over his Major career, Smith has finished inside of the top-10 25% of the time, including a victory at the Open Championship in 2022 and most recently with a T6 showing at this year's Masters. It's perplexing to see someone with that pedigree priced under $9,000 on DraftKings, and fantasy managers should look to capitalize on Smith's upside and win equity at this year's US Open.--Ryan Hickey

Coming off a withdrawal at LIV Golf Miami due to food poisoning, Cameron Smith returns to an event where he has done everything but secure a green jacket in seven career starts. The Australian has finished no worse than a T55, which was in his first attempt. Like other LIV players, not much is known about the state of his game from a statistical perspective other than he leads the breakaway league in putting average (1.49) and has a total strokes-gained average of only 0.29 through the league's first five events. The undeniable fluctuation of ball-striking certainly simmers some of the expectations, and at $9,900 on FanDuel, it's possible he doesn't live up to them this week.--Todd McGill - RotoBaller

Cameron Smith will participate in The Open Championship at Royal Liverpool this week after winning the LIV London tournament two weeks ago. He is returning to defend his title in 2022 after ranking 33rd in strokes gained off-the-tee and 24th in strokes gained on approach last year. Smith has performed impressively in this year's majors, finishing fourth at the U.S. Open, tied for ninth at the PGA Championship, and T34 at The Masters. He has achieved five top-10 finishes in his last six LIV tournaments, making him a strong candidate for fantasy lineups.--Ian Christenson - RotoBaller
