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.

To say that Jordan Spieth had an adventurous week at The PLAYERS is an understatement. He finished the tournament in 59th place after carding two eagles, 12 birdies, 14 bogeys, and three doubles while still impressively gaining 5.322 strokes around the green -- second-best in the field. He now turns his attention to the Valspar Championship, an event he won in 2015. To repeat this success at Copperhead, Spieth will need to be precise from tee to green and sharp with his short game. He currently ranks 60th in strokes gained from tee to green (0.367 per round) and 33rd around the green (0.287). However, he is just 132nd on approach (minus-0.259), 98th in driving accuracy, and 94th in putting (0.013). He is also in only the 23rd percentile for proximity from 150-200 yards over the past 12 months, a range that accounted for 37% of all approach shots here last year. Given his recent form, it will be hard to trust Spieth at his $9,100 price tag on DraftKings, but fantasy managers who play him have the potential to be rewarded handsomely.
