It has been a quality run of golf for Corey Conners since leaving the West Coast, with finishes of third,T6,T8 and T18 over his last four starts. This is even more impressive, considering the weather has been a major contributor in the previous few events. The ball-striking prowess we've come to expect hasn't been as strong of a force because of it, which has forced him to play better on and around the greens. Over his last five starts, the 33-year-old is averaging 0.54 strokes gained putting and 0.482 around the green. If that level of play continues and his iron play remains strong, he'll be a strong dark-horse candidate at $9,800 on FanDuel.

Corey Conners has been on a tear in recent weeks, recording three straight top-eight finishes while gaining strokes across all areas of his game. He looks to continue this excellent form at the Valero Texas Open, an event he has won twice -- in 2019 and 2023. In addition to his victories, Conners has made the cut in all six of his prior appearances, finishing no worse than T35. During his two wins, Conners gained over 29 combined strokes from tee to green, an area where he continues to excel. He currently ranks 36th in stokes gained from tee to green, gaining 0.647 strokes per round. He is also 27th in total strokes gained (0.840 per round), 20th off the tee (0.453), and 18th in greens in regulation (70.56%). He is also in the 78th percentile in greens in regulation from 200-plus yards, an area that accounted for 28.7% of all approach shots here last year. Conners is sure to be a popular pick this week, and at a price tag of $10,100 on DraftKings, he's certainly worth strong consideration from fantasy managers given his recent play and impressive course history.

Corey Conners finished tied for sixth at The PLAYERS Championship last week and is now focusing on preparing for this week's Valspar Championship at Innisbrook Inn. With back-to-back top-10 finishes and four total in 2025, this will be Conners' first appearance in the Valspar Championship. It's worth noting that at last year's Valspar Championship, 37% of approach shots came from distances of 150-200 yards. Over the past 12 months, Conners has ranked in the 99th percentile for greens in regulation percentage on approach shots from this distance while in the fairway. Given his recent performances, Conners could be a valuable addition to DFS lineups this week.

Corey Conners was in the hunt on Sunday at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, but despite not registering any bogeys, he was unable to gain ground on the leaders, managing just one birdie on the day. He now looks to carry that momentum into THE PLAYERS Championship, an event he has competed in five times, making the cut in four of those appearances, including a T13 finish here last year. To replicate that success at TPC Sawgrass, Conners will need to be solid from tee to green, where he currently ranks 90th on tour, averaging 0.159 strokes gained per round. He has also been impressive off the tee, ranking 39th in driving accuracy and 61st in strokes gained off the tee (0.233 per round). Additionally, over the last 12 months, Conners ranks in the 83rd percentile in proximity from 100-150 yards, a range that accounted for 32.3% of all approach shots here last year. At $7,900 on DraftKings, fantasy managers can confidently rely on Conners in their lineups once again.
