2018 Barracuda Championship rankings: Top 10 picks
1. Joel Dahmen -- I never imagined ranking Dahmen No. 1 on any fantasy list, but the guy has been a stud dating back to the National and calling out Sung Kang (and wearing the Fisher's Island bucket).
2. Richy Werenski -- At this point, I'm willing to consider Werenski a bit of an oppo-field specialist. Nearly won here last year, and he made a great run in Kentucky at the Barbasol.
3. Kevin Tway -- Tway could be No. 1 or No. 2 on this list. He's had a great summer with some strong finishes, and he's getting more comfortable on a Sunday.
4. Andrew Putnam -- Putnam has a high ceiling, but he's been inconsistent this year. Sprinkles in a lot of MCs. He'll need more than 4 birdies per round to have a chance.
5. Kevin Streelman -- Streelman has played steady golf throughout the season, and he's sprinkled in some top-10 finishes here and there. Solid is great in this field.
6. John Peterson -- For a guy who isn't getting much action and thinking of retiring, Peterson has been making some money. He hasn't missed a cut dating back to May and was T-21 at the Barbasol.
7. Shane Lowry -- Lowry has some low odds with the sportsbooks, but I'm not a buyer at that price point. He's played some good golf mixed in with some bad gofl for a guy who was elite two years ago.
8. Ryan Blaum -- Blaum has played some mostly consistent golf since The Players. He's not setting the world on fire, but he does have a string of solid finishes for three months now.
9. Robert Garrigus -- This is Garrigus' time of year, when he figures out a way to keep some kind of status. He's not as long as he once was, but he can still smash and score.
10. Ben Silverman -- Call this a hunch play. Silverman has done his best work in weak events, and he's made four cuts in a row.
