Favorite Targets Early On Monday

Wyndham Clark/Taylor Moore ($9,500)

Ownership and other issues will dictate this discussion. However, if gamers view this tournament through one of two lenses, we could have a potential mishap to take advantage of this week.

1. DFS players believing that only 80 teams will create a more straightforward path toward a 6-of-6 build. That is not the case inside my model, and I can very easily pinpoint a route that will demand more safety than the stars/scrubs approach.  
2. Believing that volatile returns in the past are indicative of that answer again. I understand that we have had some really wonky teams compete late into this event (and I am not saying it won't happen again), but this answer goes alongside #1 that trying to predict that outcome is like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

There are a lot of different routes we can consider for roster construction, and I don't think it eliminates any particular team up top, but I do want to note that my model only had three teams in the $6,000 range grade inside the top 40 of my model. With that, we get an optimal answer in my model that does like certain value thresholds, which starts with Clark/Moore grading as the second-best value on the slate of all teams priced at $8,000+.

My math showed we had three teams this week where both players ranked in the top 65 of all six categories. That upside mark is one of the reasons only Rory McIlroy and Collin Morikawa graded higher than Clark for pure increase of him being included in the duo, and it shouldn't hurt matters that Moore clawed himself into that top 65 metric across the board because of his overall quality data points from top to bottom.

There is a reason both of these players have competed for this title with other partners, and the tandem might be the perfect pairing to elevate both to the top.

Jesper Svensson/Niklas Norgaard ($8,500)

I was surprised to see this price on Jesper Svensson/Niklas Norgaard, but I was even more surprised that my model found the duo to be the most undervalued team at $8,000+.

Svensson/Norgaard have a tantalizing production profile that generates high-end par-five potential, respectable par-four birdie returns, and dominant off-the-tee games that rank as well as anyone else in this field.

Will their approach play derail them in alternate shot format? Perhaps...However, the fact that both tend to struggle in that area could be helpful since it won't be out of the norm for either when they miss a green in regulation. Consider this a high-ceiling pick with a respectable floor because of their consistent metrics across the board.

Look for them to be 'Best Ball' dominators.

Ryan Gerard/Danny Walker ($7,500), Bud Cauley/Kevin Tway ($7,300)

These are the two best values I have on the board for a team that graded inside the top 30 of my model.

The Kevin Tway profile is completely boom-or-bust next to Bud Cauley's safety. The combination may work at a higher success rate than projected. Also, Gerard and Walker delivered top-45 overall outputs for each golfer in the overall section of my model.

Here are all the teams to accomplish that task in New Orleans. You will notice they are the least expensive of the group:
