Denny McCarthy has been a steady contributor as of late for fantasy managers. The OWGR No. 43 has made the cut in all five of his starts this season with finishes of T5, T43, T24, T26, and T22. McCarthy likely would have been in line for an even better finish at last week's WM Phoenix Open had it not been for his disastrous putting in round four, where he lost 2.1 strokes on the greens. That was his worst putting round statistically since the CJ Cup back in October of 2022. He's a strong bounce-back candidate in that category this week, as Riviera boasts a lower-than-average greens-in-regulation rate and notoriously difficult, fast, undulating greens. Over the last 36 rounds, McCarthy enters the week ranking 22nd around-the-green, fourth in putting on fast greens, and seventh in overall and Poa annua putting. It would be fair for fantasy managers to expect a repeat of McCarthy's T14 finish here last year, which would more than pay off at his $7,500 DraftKings price tag.--Ryan Hickey
