The Outlook

Johnson will likely be highly owned in DFS, and rightfully so. He’s sporting the best Long-Term Adjusted Round Score (67.7), and over the past 75 weeks he ranks in the top three in the field in birdies per tournament, and par-4 and par-5 scoring. Given his anticipated high DFS ownership and his current inflated betting value, he's probably worth fading. It'll be scary, however.

The Metrics

Here's how Johnson ranks in the PGA Championship field in several key metrics. For many more, be sure to check out the FantasyLabs PGA Models.
