So to help you pick the best fantasy foursome, here are five dark horses to win the 2016 Masters.

5. Brandt Snedeker

Snedeker is having a resurgent fantasy season. He has four top-10 finishes on the year, including a win at the Farmers insurance Open. Even better, he has three career top-15 finishes at Augusta. He will be one veteran to keep a close eye on next week.

4. Phil Mickelson

Mickelson has been rather erratic at the Masters in recent years. He has three top-five finishes in the past six years, including a win in 2010. However, he also missed the cut in 2014, recorded a T54 in 2013 and a T27 in 2011. Lefty will come with some risk this year, but his proven track record will always make him a threat at the big events.

Rose has quietly cracked the top-17 in six of his eight tournament appearances this season. He has also finished inside the top-25 in six straight appearances at Augusta, including an impressive T2 here last year. Rose will be one of the top dark horses to win the Masters next weekend.

2. Dustin Johnson

Johnson has cracked the top-15 in two of the last three years at Augusta National. He also cracked the top-10 in all three stateside majors last season. DJ is showing that he has put last year's problems behind him and I fully expect the veteran to be in contention all weekend.

Scott is on a roll this season. He has five top-10 finishes on the year, including a win at the WGC-Cadillac Champions and the Honda Classic. Scott seems poised to have a career fantasy season and will be a sleeper pick to win it all next Sunday.
