Expert picks for the Wyndham Championship

Fantasy, Fantasy Golf, Golf

The PGA Tour heads to Greensboro, North Carolina, this week for the Wyndham Championship.

Our ESPN and FantasyGolfInsider experts have picked the players they believe have the skills to succeed and provide big fantasy point totals.

Pick to win

Brandt Snedeker

The Sedgefield course in Greensboro is perfect for Snedeker's game and he's had four top-10s at the course, including a tie for third in his most recent appearance two years ago. Snedeker is trending in the right direction with three top-10s this summer and is looking to improve upon his 80th position heading into the FedEx Cup playoffs. -- Bob Harig

Jason Kokrak

I was talking to Adam Schefter about his fantasy golf squad for this week and this name came up in my "research" for him. Coming off a nice 12th-place finish last week at the PGA Championship, this week's course is similar to one that Kokrak had his best finish of the year a few weeks ago, Greenbrier. Expect a great week. -- Michael Collins

DraftKings value picks

Tyler Duncan

His season-long stats aren't great, but the form is there and that's why we're looking at Duncan. In the past 24 rounds on Bermuda grass, he's strong from tee to green in all phases. Where he's run into trouble all year is on the greens, so it may take a bit of putting variance to get extreme value out of him this week. Luckily, we don't need much more than a made cut and placing bonus to get value here. He hasn't missed a cut since the Valero in April, and he provided the upside of a top-15 at the John Deere Classic. -- Taras Pitra

Chris Kirk

Some guys just always stay at a price point where they seem like a great value and Kirk is one of them. Kirk has made his past seven cuts, including three top-25 finishes. He has not had a tremendous amount of success at Wyndham, but he has made his past three cuts. An elite ball striker with a solid approach game, I am going to be locking him in my cash games and also using him in GPPs (guaranteed prize pools). -- Jeff Bergerson

Brendan Steele

He hasn't played the course since 2013 when he finished T-11, and he's coming off a missed cut at the PGA. Yet Steele sets up nicely this week with his style of play. He's a longer hitter typically, which means he can dial it back with long irons or woods. That should improve his driving accuracy and touch, but even missing the fairway as often as he does, Steele still hits the green at a great rate. The main concern this week will be the play around and on the greens, as he ranks poorly with his wedge and putter. There's not much to be said about this beyond hoping he catches some magic in the putter, because the guy ranks well from tee to green and is very affordable. He is a very solid player on par-4s specifically, especially between 400 and 450 yards, and his birdie rate should make him a solid play for DFS that goes very overlooked. -- Adam Daly

FanDuel value picks

Rory Sabbatini

Sabbatini has had a bit of a resurgence this season on tour after struggling in recent years, though the past couple of months have been a little up and down. However, coming off of a 12th-place finish at the Canadian Open, it appears that he's back on track heading into the playoffs. He is accurate off the tee and is reasonable at hitting greens. He's done well on comparative courses like Harbor Town, Innisbrook and Colonial this year. He's also been very good at Sedgewick in recent years, finishing in the top 10 in his past two starts. He's one of the more underpriced players relative to his Vegas odds, and that makes him a great bargain on FanDuel this week, allowing for you to stock up on players at the top. -- Zach Turcotte

Shane Lowry

Lowry heads into the Wyndham Championship fresh off of a T-12 finish at the PGA Championship. Prior to that, he finished T-15 at the Barracuda Championship and T-12 at the RBC Canadian Open. He is heating up at the right time and needs another solid week  to make the playoffs. Sedgefield will play much easier than Bellerive Country Club last week, but accuracy off the tee is still required to do well here. Fortunately for Lowry, he was second in driving accuracy at Bellerive. If his putter also stays hot at the Wyndham, he could very well beat his T-7 finish from last year. Lowry's $9,800 FanDuel salary is a great value that also has the upside for finishing points. -- Erik Dantoft
