Matt Vincenzi targets Mac Meissner as a longshot (+12000) noting his deep Texas roots, collegiate record-setting performance at SMU, and current residency in Dallas. Additionally, Meissner recently showcased explosive iron play at Valspar Championship, ranking fourth in strokes-gained approach while gaining 7.72 strokes. Vincenzi finds strong suitability due to local familiarity and current form.

Matthew MacKay highlighted Mac Meissner as a valuable DFS pick this week at the Valero Texas Open available for $7,100 on DraftKings, underscoring Meissner's solid recent performances with consecutive top-40 finishes. After a hot start and a subsequent slump, Meissner seems back on track. MacKay emphasizes Meissner's birdie production has been consistently high—12 to 16 birdies in each of his last three outings—and he notably reduced his mistakes at the Houston Open, recording 16 birdies alongside seven bogeys and one double. MacKay believes Meissner can deliver a top-30 or better result, presenting good upside as a cheaper lineup filler.

Dom Cintorino expressed strong support for betting Mac Meissner in top 20 positional markets, citing Meissner's exceptional iron play recently and his comfort playing in Texas as an SMU alumni. Last year's T-10 finish at the Valero Texas Open further bolsters Dom's confidence as Meissner knows the course traits and conditions well, making him a particularly attractive positional bet in this event.

Derek Farnsworth encouraged considering Mac Meissner as a potential DFS target at the Valero Texas Open, highlighting his recent solid form. Farnsworth indicated he sees Meissner as an under-the-radar play due to recent improved results, suggesting Meissner may represent a strong value option for fantasy roster differentiation this week.

Iain MacMillan highlights Mac Meissner as a value longshot at +15000 odds due to emerging positive trends and performances. Meissner finished T28 at last week's Valspar Championship, notably gaining nearly two strokes per round with his approach play. Coupled with continued strong chipping, MacMillan believes Meissner can surprise and contend at Memorial Park.

Jamie Worsley highlights Mac Meissner (125/1) as a strong value play, noting recent form improvements and Texas-linked success. Meissner recently bounced back from poor form to take 42nd at THE PLAYERS and 28th at Valspar, where he notably delivered his best career PGA Tour approach play performance, ranking 4th in the field. This iron play advancement, coupled with his top short-game ranking (13th around-the-greens in 2025), positions him ideally for Memorial Park’s challenges. As a Dallas-area resident with two previous top-10 finishes in Texas including a 10th at the correlating Texas Open, Meissner’s regional familiarity and recent gains suggest he offers strong betting appeal as an outsider this week.
