Justin Thomas Will Be Lightly Owned at Carnoustie
6 years agoJustin Thomas comes into the Open Championship as one of the forgotten high-end DFS plays. The young American is the fifth most expensive player on DraftKings at $10,000 but only is projected to be the 32nd highest owned player on the site. Those statistics obviously don't coincide perfectly with each other since value plays will come from all prices ranges, and therefore we can't compare Thomas' ownership percentage to someone who is lower priced, but what it does show is that there is a definite discord between Thomas and the other players in his price range. Other than Jordan Spieth, there is no player at $8,200 or above that is projected to be as lowly owned as Thomas. As a contrarian play, we think Thomas makes for a nice GPP pivot, but if you don't think he has any chance to capture the title, we wouldn't recommend using him just for the sake of being different.
