Rick Gehman expressed uncertainty around Nicolas Echavarria for DFS during his Masters debut, despite being very high on Echavarria's talent and excellent putting performance in his recent outings. Gehman praised Echavarria as exceptionally talented and noted the putter has clearly been a strong asset lately, but expressed cautious interest in observing how Echavarria might handle Augusta's unique pressure and grandeur on his first attempt. Gehman's comments frame Echavarria as a talented but risky DFS pick given limited Augusta experience.

Matthew Wiley strongly recommended fading Nico Echavarria for DFS and betting at the Houston Open, noting Echavarria's recent rounds were filled with wildly inconsistent play. Wiley characterized Echavarria's recent performances as exceptionally volatile, highlighting his disastrous Sunday round where he quickly lost his lead after tied atop the leaderboard. Given his extreme driver inaccuracy and erratic emotional state, Wiley stated Echavarria's form was so chaotic and unreliable he could not endorse backing him in any capacity this week.

Byron Lindeque pinpointed Nico Echavarria as a DFS value at $7,400, mentioning his recent form improvement and status as a two-time PGA Tour winner. Echavarria tends to offer good value considering he's often listed at worse odds compared to similarly placed golfers. Despite not playing at his best recently, Byron emphasized Echavarria’s capability to 'pop' at any given moment. Fantasy players can target Echavarria as an underappreciated play with substantial upside due to his sporadically explosive performances.
