Brandt Snedeker Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

Looking to bounce back from what was a very awful year, Brandt Snedeker is set to play this week's Farmers Insurance Open with a little bit of positive momentum on his side. Snedeker is two for two in cuts this calendar season with an impressive top 15 at last week's American Express. Prior to last week's top finish at the American Express Snedeker had missed his three previous cuts at that event. Almost a full year into a swing coach change it appears Snedeker could be heading in the right direction in terms of getting his game back. Trending at a very low ownership number for this week, Snedeker has more than enough strong course history to stand out as a great value option for the week. In addition to his two wins at this event, Snedeker has 4 top ten or better finishes in his 12 career starts at the Farmers Insurance Open.

Prior to last week's top 20 finish at The Sanderson Farms Championship, Brandt Snedeker had all the signs of a struggling golfer. Since the tour's restart in June Snedeker had only made 4 of 8 cuts with no top 40 or better finishes. For those willing to dig in and find out a bit more about Snedeker's struggles, you would have seen that he had recently just switched coaches. Now working with former tour player Bradley Hughes, Snedeker is hopeful to build on a good week. With a change in coach and perhaps some swing philosophy there is always a chance of poor form in the short term, but despite his poor results, you could see flashes of Snedeker finding his game. His missed cuts were often due to a poor start or just a few bad holes. Snedeker is often a streaky golfer and with a price that is still low in comparison to his talent level there is strong merit to adding this short game specialist to your roster builds for the week.

A poor first round at last week's Safeway Open really put Brandt Snedeker in a tough spot heading into Friday's round. Snedeker fired a solid 32 on his front nine on Friday but faltered late to miss the cut. Over the last few weeks, I have seen bits and pieces of Snedeker working with Bradley Hughes on his game. Hughes is one of the hottest coaches on tour with a growing stable of players. Brendon Todd relied extensively on Hughes to rebuild his game over the past few years. Snedeker will head into this week's U.S. Open with very little fanfare and could make for a good low owned GPP flyer for the week. Typically a steady type of player that relies on his putter, Snedeker fits the mold of what can be a good player on a hard U.S. Open course.

Currently looking for his first top 25 or better finish since the tour launched its restart, Brandt Snedeker enters this week looking to fine-tune his game ahead of the FedEx Cup playoffs. Currently, inside the top 100 in the point list, Snedeker could use a good week to ensure a chance at making a deep run in this year's playoffs. Despite his poor recent form, Snedeker does have a positive course history at Sedgefield Country Club and could make for an interesting tournament option at what looks to be a low POWN number. In addition to winning this event, Snedeker owns four top 10 or better finishes at The Wyndham Championship. For those who are unsure about adding Snedeker to a full week roster then you could look to gain exposure to him in showdown slates. Highlighted by a 59 Snedeker has 15 rounds of 68 or better in his last 20 at Sedgefield.

WGC events are a great reward for any player on tour. Events such as this week's WGC FedEx St. Jude's are a chance for players to play against the best players in the world. Playing in his 28th WGC event this week Brandt Snedeker is a player that would love to add the title of WGC Champion to his resume. Priced-down in this very strong field, Snedeker is trending as a top point per option for the week. Having not played his best golf since the restart, Snedeker will look to build on a top 30 finish from last year's WGC event. Snedeker has posted a top 25 or better in 10 of his 27 WGC starts. At his bottom-barrel price, a top 30 type of finish should do the job in terms of DFS for the week, and as a proven tour winner, Snedeker has proven he can offer more than just a top 25 finish.

Outside of Brandt Snedeker's withdrawal, it has been a very quiet week in terms of player news. ResultsDB will be up and running a few minutes after lock. Good luck this week Grinders!!!
