De Jonge has quietly made the cut in eight straight tournaments. Over that stretch, he has cracked the top-30 six times. BDJ is playing great golf right now and will once again be a strong sleeper to look for this week in fantasy drafts.

4. Chris Kirk Will Crack Top-15

Kirk has made the cut in all 20 tournaments he has appeared in this year. He has also cracked the top-30 in seven of his last eight tournaments, including a beautiful T4 at Muirfield Village last month. Kirk is playing very well right now and should have another strong showing in Silvis.

3. Kevin Na Won’t Crack The Top-30

Na is truly having a breakout season, as the veteran has already racked up five top-10 finishes. However, he hasn’t participated in the JDC since in he missed the cut here back in 2008. He will struggle on this course and will be a long shot to even crack the top-30 this weekend.

2. Steve Sticker Will Crack The Top-5

Johnson won this tournament back in 2012 and has racked up four top-five finishes on this course. ZJ has become a very safe bet at TPC Deere Run and is my pick to win it all come Sunday.
