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.

Derek Farnsworth expressed interest in Harry Hall as an intriguing DFS option for the Valero Texas Open, noting his solid and consistent performance over approximately the past six to eight months. Farnsworth didn't dwell extensively on statistics, but he clearly considers Hall a viable consideration in DFS lineups given the extended stretch of positive performances, suggesting steady momentum that makes Hall an appealing lower-cost investment this week.

Derek Farnsworth endorsed Tom Hoge as a low-key DFS selection at the Valero Texas Open based on his Texas connection and elite iron play. Hoge attended TCU, providing the familiar Texas angle for added appeal, and he ranks as the number one iron player in the field over the last 150 rounds. Farnsworth emphasized that Hoge has consistently placed within the top-six in iron play regardless of the time frame considered. Although Farnsworth noted other aspects of Hoge's game have generally struggled, he expressed confidence that Hoge's exceptional iron performance could carry him through by consistently hitting greens, making Hoge a viable and attractive DFS tournament play.

Derek Farnsworth pinpointed Victor Perez as a standout DFS value pick in the lower-priced range. Perez has demonstrated excellent recent momentum, recording three straight top-25 finishes and having made the cut previously at this course. Farnsworth highlights Perez's appealing recent form and proven competence in San Antonio, clearly positioning him as the preferred low-cost option for DFS rosters looking to efficiently allocate salary elsewhere.

Derek Farnsworth voiced caution in rostering Ben Griffin at this week's Valero Texas Open despite Griffin's urgent motivation to win and secure a Masters invite. Farnsworth expressed legitimate worry given Griffin is participating in his 13th consecutive event, warning of potential fatigue contributing to diminished performance. While acknowledging Griffin's general strength in approach play, scrambling, and putting, Farnsworth warned specifically that a slow start could quickly sap Griffin's motivation and performance due to the increased stakes and accumulated fatigue, posing noteworthy downside risk for DFS lineups this week.

Derek Farnsworth underscored the value of playing Tony Finau this week, highlighting Finau's tendency to perform significantly better outside of Florida, including in Texas tournaments. Though Finau has intentionally dialed back his driving distance slightly over recent years, Farnsworth noted that his iron play remains elite, complemented by his outstanding short game. Despite recent struggles on shorter putts, Farnsworth retains high confidence in Finau's overall game and performance upside this week at $8,800, considering him a very strong option in DFS contests.

Derek Farnsworth advocated strongly for Corey Conners due to his extensive history of success at the Valero Texas Open. Conners, a previous two-time winner here, consistently performs well at this course and similar ones during this stretch of the golfing calendar. Farnsworth specifically referenced Conners' historical excellent form at this event as well as other crucial events like the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players. Farnsworth plans to continue rostering Conners this week and next week at Augusta, citing his tendency to peak during this portion of the PGA Tour schedule.

Derek Farnsworth sees tremendous DFS value in Hideki Matsuyama at $9,900 this week at the Valero Texas Open. Matsuyama ranks second overall in Farnsworth's model and boasts the highest top-5% finish rate in this week's field. Farnsworth acknowledges Matsuyama's recent form has been somewhat inconsistent but pointed out he's delivered back-to-back top 15 finishes at this specific event, adding confidence in his suitability and upside for DFS lineups this week.

Derek Farnsworth strongly recommended Keegan Bradley for this week's Valero Texas Open. Bradley has an impressive track record in Texas and on long Par 72 courses. His recent form is excellent, having made 12 consecutive cuts marked by consistently strong approach play. Farnsworth highlighted Bradley's significant improvement with the putter over the past couple of years, adding further confidence to his DFS appeal. Bradley has back-to-back Top-25 finishes at this course and projects well according to Farnsworth, who sees Bradley as viable in both cash games and tournaments, indicating he could become a cornerstone ('core play') of Farnsworth's own lineup constructions this week at $9,500.
