6 years agoIt has been a long road back for Troy Merritt, who had to have his top left rib removed after being diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome, a condition that ultimately led to a blood clot in his arm last year. But the 33-year-old is beginning to exhibit similar form that saw him win the Barbasol Championship in July, and it looks like just a matter of time before we see him crack the top five during one of these events. On the season compared to the field, Merritt ranks ninth in three-putt avoidance, second in par-five birdie or better percentage and eighth in total birdie or better rate. However, despite his recent run of results, Merritt is projected to be just eight percent owned on DraftKings. There is a lot to like about the two-time PGA Tour winner, and he makes for an excellent contrarian GPP option this weekend at his $7,100 price tag.--Spencer Aguiar - RotoBaller
