Min Woo Lee took a few weeks off after the Open Championship. The Australian golfer followed up a runner-up at the Genesis Scottish Open with a less-than-stellar Major (T-59). Lee is inside the Top 20 in the FedEx Cup rankings so there is less pressure to advance. Points carry over from the regular season at the first two playoff events. Lee could be an intriguing choice for DFS purposes at the beginning and end of this event. He ranks inside the Top 25 in putts per round for Round 1 and Round 4 (15th and 24th). His birdie or better percentage ranks 11th at 34.86%. Memphis can yield birdies in bunches at times even at a Par-70 of 7,220 yards. Lee being well-rested can help especially this week.

Max Homa has only played five events since the end of May in 2026. The American golfer did play four times in July including an impressive runner-up result at the John Deere Classic. That was enough to pretty much clinch a playoff spot. However, Homa is now on the bubble with only the Top 50 advancing to next week's BMW Championship. He does have a T-6 result in 2023 but three of his previous four efforts were outside the Top 40 (missed 2025). Little went right as Homa missed the cut at the 3M Open. Driving distance and accuracy have been lacking over the past three events (-12% accuracy in Minnesota). Homa getting the fade from a betting and DFS perspective should not be surprising.

Michael Kim knows his margin for error is very low. The American golfer, at a minimum, needs to finish in a three-way tie for 12th to have a chance at advancing from Memphis. Given the level of this field, that will be a challenge. Kim has three Top 10 results in 2026. He did have two Top 10 efforts before ending up outside the Top 50 last week. Kim could not make birdies unlike the previous two weeks (gained 1.56 and 0.93 strokes respectively). He needs a huge week and considering his putting ranks, Kim must approach greens better. His greens in regulation ranks just 146th at 63.99%. It may be why Kim has become a choice to fade ultimately from a betting perspective in Memphis.

Ben Griffin could not have picked a worse time for the putter to abandon him. The American golfer thankfully does not have to worry about the cut this week. This is the first real bad stretch of golf from Griffin since March where he missed three straight cuts. Only 50 golfers advance and Griffin should have enough points to play in the BMW Championship. However, Griffin ended up T-9 in last year's FedEx St. Jude Classic. It was the second of five consecutive Top 12 efforts. The question is which version of Griffin will appear. From a DFS standpoint, Griffin might be an intriguing option for Round 1 given he ranks 7th in putts per opening round at 27.77.
