Disclaimer

If fantasy sports were predictable, we'd all be champions. But the truth is, disc golf (and fantasy disc golf) is full of surprises—players get hot, others go cold, injuries pop up, and sometimes someone named "Buckets" shows up out of nowhere and dominates. This guide isn't here to tell you exactly how the season will unfold; it's here to give you a fun, fresh perspective on fantasy scoring and help you think strategically about your draft. Use it as a reference, a conversation starter, or just an excuse to dive deeper into the season, but don't take it as gospel. Trust your gut, take some risks, and most importantly—have fun with it.

Overview of scoring system & key updates for 2025

Pro Disc Fantasy is designed to reward every shot that matters while ensuring a fair and competitive experience. Players earn points based on their real-life performance on the Disc Golf Pro Tour, with a system that values birdies, eagles, bogey-free rounds, and hot streaks, rather than just final placements. The all-play format ensures that every fantasy team competes against the entire league each event, racking up wins and losses based on total points scored.

Key Scoring Features

Hole-by-Hole Scoring: Players earn points for birdies, eagles, and streaks of under-par holes.
Bogey-Free Bonuses: Consistency is rewarded with extra points for clean rounds.
Tournament Placement Bonuses: The best finishers still get extra value, but fantasy success isn't just about winning an event.
Event Multipliers: Majors and DGPT+ events are worth more, ensuring to reward players who show up on the biggest stages.

Pro Disc Fantasy Statistical Methodology

To create the most accurate and meaningful draft guide, Pro Disc Fantasy relies on a structured statistical approach that prioritizes relevant player data and fantasy impact. Below is an overview of the key metrics and methodology used to inform our rankings.

Key Metrics

Total Fantasy Points (TFP): The most important stat in fantasy disc golf, the total fantasy points a player has earned over the course of a season.
Fantasy Points per Round Played (FPRP): How many fantasy points a player scores per round. This allows for direct player-to-player comparisons, independent of total events played.
Event Fantasy Points (EFP): Fantasy points a player earns for a specific past event.
Rounds Played (RP): Total number of rounds a player completed during 2024 DGPT events. Availability is a critical factor in fantasy scoring—missing events can limit total fantasy output, no matter how high a player's FPRP.
Rounds Played / Rounds Available (RPRA): % of possible rounds that each athlete played.
Holes Under Par (HUP): Total holes played that were either aces, eagles, or birdies.
Holes Under Par per Round Played (HUPRP): Average number of holes each round that a player gets an ace, eagle, or birdie.
Streak Bonuses: Three or more consecutive under-par holes earn bonus points.
Turkey: 3 consecutive under-par holes. Turkey per Round Played (TRP).
Hambone: 4 consecutive under-par holes. Hambone per Round Played (HRP).
Yahtzee: 5 consecutive under-par holes. Yahtzee per Round Played (YRP).

Defining the Player Pool

To ensure the most reliable and relevant statistical analysis, only players who played 16 or more rounds during the 2024 DGPT season are included in our rankings. This cutoff:

Includes 237 players out of 831 total, meaning only 29% of all players who competed in a DGPT event last year met the threshold.
Removes outliers who only played a few rounds, preventing misleading percentile rankings and skewed FPRP calculations.

Total Rounds in the Dataset

Our analysis is based on 95 total rounds played across DGPT events in 2024, excluding USDGC and USWDGC as, FPO and MPO are not playing the event on that day (and Throw Pink, for some reason, is only an A-Tier).

Understanding Percentiles

Percentile rankings are used to compare players against the entire qualifying field (those who played at least 16 rounds). For example:

99th percentile means a player ranks in the top 1% of all qualifying players.
90th percentile means they rank in the top 10% of all qualifiers.

Traditional Disc Golf Metrics

You won't find fairways hit, Circle 1 in regulation, or putting percentages in this draft guide—not because they don't matter, but because fantasy disc golf is all about one thing: scoring potential.

Sure, hitting fairways and parking shots looks great on a stat sheet, but if it doesn't translate to birdies, eagles, and streaks, it's not moving the needle in fantasy. A player who struggles off the tee but cashes every 60-foot putt for birdie is far more valuable in fantasy than one who plays clean golf but settles for par.

Fantasy success comes down to who can rack up the most points each weekend, and that's why our rankings are built around Fantasy Points per Round Played (FPRP), Round Availability, Under-Par Streaks, and Podiums rather than traditional disc golf analytics. This guide helps you draft players who will fill up your fantasy scoreboard—not just the stat sheet.

Draft Strategy & Trends

Winning in Pro Disc Fantasy comes down to one thing: scoring the most fantasy points week in and week out. Availability is key —players who compete in the most events and play the most rounds give you more chances to rack up fantasy points over the season. Additionally, when drafting your team, it's important to consider not just how skilled a player is compared to their competition, but how their game translates to fantasy scoring. Some players bring consistency, others offer explosive scoring potential, and certain playing styles naturally generate more fantasy points. Building a balanced team that maximizes points each week is key to racking up wins and climbing the standings.

Availability Matters – Volume is Key

The best ability is availability. Players who compete in more events give you more chances to rack up fantasy points. A highly skilled player who plays a limited schedule may not be as valuable as a consistent scorer who plays nearly every DGPT event. Prioritize high-volume players who will be on your roster earning points week after week.

Who Played the Most?

9. Kat Mertsch	78.95%	19. Ezrah Aderhold	76.89%
10. Missy Gannon	78.95%	20. Ella Hansen + 4 others	75.79%

*Note that only three FPO players are in the top 20 of % of Rounds Played.

2024 Low Availability Surprises

Name	% Played	Name	% Played
Kristin Latt	54.74%	Simon Lizotte	60%
Eveliina Salonen	60%	Evan Smith	57.89%
Henna Blomroos	53.68%	Luke Taylor	54.71%
Silva Saarinen	52.63%	Cole Redalen	57.89%
Chris Dickerson	62.11%	Joel Freeman	58.95%

The low Round Availability of Kristin Latt, Simon Lizotte, Cole Redalen and Joel Freeman are aberrations compared to their previous years, but could we see more of this in years to come? Will up and comers like Luke Taylor, Silva Saarinen, and Evan Smith play more tour stops than last year?

High-Scoring Players > Safe Players

Fantasy scoring isn't just about playing clean—it's about racking up birdies, eagles, and streaks. A player who takes risks and gets rewarded with eagles or multiple birdie streaks can easily outscore a safer player who finishes in the top 10 but plays too conservatively. Look for aggressive scorers who put up big fantasy numbers, even if they occasionally take bogeys. Let's look at 2 hypothetical players:

Player 1: Consistent play, no streaks

11 Birdies (+33 points)
1 Bogey (-1 point)
6 Par (+6 points)
No streaks, no eagles, no extra bonuses

Pro Disc Fantasy Points: 38

Player 2: Streak-heavy, aggressive style

2 Eagles (+16 points)
11 Birdies (+33 points)
0 Pars (+0 points)
5 Bogeys (-5 points)
Two Streaks of 5x under-par holes in a row (+10 points)
One Streak of 3x under-par holes in a row (+3 points)

Pro Disc Fantasy Points: 57

*Both players finished the round at -10, but Player 2 outscored Player 1 by 19 fantasy points due to streaky and exciting play. Not all scores are created equal!

Watch for Up-and-Comers

Every season, new players emerge as elite fantasy scorers. Last year's breakout star, Joey Buckets Anderson, finished 11th in total Pro Disc Fantasy points ahead of stalwarts like Matty O and Missy Gannon, and just behind Isaac Robinson. Whether it's an international player joining the tour full-time, a young talent making a leap, or an underrated player improving their scoring ability, keeping an eye on breakout candidates can give you an edge. Drafting the right up-and-comer late in the draft can be the difference between a solid season and a league-winning roster.

Course Trends

Some courses naturally produce higher scores than others, particularly when comparing the MPO and FPO divisions. Factors like course length, hole difficulty, and fairway width influence whether an event plays as a birdie-fest or demands strategic, risk-reward shot-making.

On courses with scorable par 4s and accessible landing zones, players who can stack birdie streaks will dominate in fantasy scoring. Conversely, tight, technical layouts where scrambling and avoiding bogeys are key might favor consistent, conservative players who don't necessarily post hot rounds but avoid blowups.

Understanding these differences allows fantasy managers to adjust lineups strategically, targeting players who excel in low-scoring shootouts versus those who grind out solid finishes on challenging layouts. By analyzing past scoring trends at specific events, you can anticipate which players are more likely to rack up fantasy points and gain an edge over the competition.

Highest vs. Lowest Fantasy Point Scoring Events

Highest Fantasy Pt Scoring Events	Div	FPRP	Lowest Fantasy Pt Scoring Events	Div	FPRP
DGPT Playoffs - Discraft's Green Mountain Championship at Smugglers' Notch Resort	MPO	25.32	Chess.com Invitational	FPO	10.42

Course Design & Fantasy Scoring in FPO

As you see above, nine of the ten highest-scoring events belong to the MPO division, while all ten of the lowest-scoring events come from FPO, highlighting the ongoing imbalance in course design between the two fields. This discrepancy isn't a reflection of skill gaps – it's a course design issue that directly impacts fantasy scoring. Until event organizers consistently tailor layouts to provide balanced scoring opportunities across both divisions, this trend is likely to continue, making it crucial for fantasy managers to adjust their draft and lineup strategies accordingly.

That said, fantasy success in the FPO division isn't just about raw scoring numbers. While birdies may be harder to come by, Hot Rounds, Podium Finishes, and Top 10 placements provide major fantasy value. Players who can take advantage of scoring-friendly rounds—particularly when the field struggles—often rack up critical fantasy points through strong placement finishes rather than streak-based scoring. This means that drafting consistent performers who capitalize on tough conditions can be just as valuable as drafting high-birdie players in MPO. European events, in particular, tend to play much tougher for FPO, making hot rounds and strong finishes even more valuable in those fields.

Top 50 Player Rankings & Analysis

The Elite of the Elite: 1-5

1. Gannon Buhr – The Clear #1 Pick:

There's no debate here—Gannon Buhr is the unquestioned top pick in the draft. He had the best Fantasy Points per Round Available (FPRP) by a wide margin at 42.93 and also led the field in Rounds Available (RA), putting him at the 100th percentile in both categories. Simply put, no other player combined elite scoring ability with maximum availability like Buhr did. He's the safest, highest-upside pick in the pool.

Best Stat: 1st in Birdies, Under Par, Turkeys, Hambones, and Yahtzees. All Total and Per Round.

Interesting Stat: 3rd in Eagle Total (9).

2. Ricky Wysocki – Elite Scorer, Always on Podium:

The only real debate at the top of the draft is Barela vs. Wysocki vs Heimburg, and it comes down to how much you weigh FPRP against potential missed events. Wysocki ranks second only to Buhr in FPRP at 39.91, with the third-best player trailing far behind. However, his injury history and event schedule create some risk. If you value pure scoring ability above all else, Wysocki is your guy. But if you're concerned about age and Wysocki's 2023 injury history biting him, you may prefer Barela or Heimburg.

Best Stat: 2nd in Birdie Total, Under Par Total, Turkey Total, and Yahtzee Total.

Interesting Stat: Tied 13th in Eagle Total (5).

3. Anthony Barela – High Volume, High Ceiling:

Anthony Barela's combination of elite scoring and durability lands him firmly in the top three. He ranked in the 95th percentile in both FPRP and Rounds Available (RA), finishing with an FPRP of 33.51—trailing only Gannon, Ricky, Calvin, and Niklas among players in the 95% of rounds played. While his round-to-round ceiling isn't quite as high as Wysocki's or Buhr's, his week-in, week-out reliability combined with his age and last season's breakthrough, and Barela has nearly unlimited upside—second only to Gannon Buhr in long-term fantasy potential.

Best Stat: 1st in Eagle Total (14) and Eagle PR (.18). Blew the field away in this category.

Interesting Stat: Tied 10th in Yahtzee Total (10), and 7th in Turkey Total (64).

4. Calvin Heimburg – Elite Scorer with Untapped Volume:

Despite battling an early-season elbow injury that limited his forehand, Calvin Heimburg still ranked higher than Anthony Barela in FPRP with 34.74. While the injury forced him to miss some rounds, he still finished fourth in Total Fantasy Points (TFP), just behind Barela, proving his elite scoring ability even at less than 100%. Had he played a full schedule, Heimburg's total fantasy output could have easily been top three or better. With his forehand back in form, he remains a high-ceiling, reliable early-round draft pick for 2025.

Best Stat: 3rd in Under Par PR (8.05)

Interesting Stat: Tied 35th on tour in Eagle Total (3), well below his 2023 DGPT totals.

5. Niklas Anttila – The Breakthrough, On All Podiums:

Niklas Anttila's FPRP of 34.03 ranked fourth among all players in the 95th percentile of rounds available, trailing only Gannon Buhr, Ricky Wysocki, and Calvin Heimburg. His breakthrough season in 2024, his first full year of dedicated touring, showcased his immense potential and ability to compete with the best. If he maintains his commitment to a full schedule, Anttila could prove to be an absolute steal at the fifth pick, offering both elite scoring and long-term upside.

Best Stat: 2nd best Hambone Total (31) and Hambone PR (.42).

Interesting Stat: Tied 35th on tour in Eagle Total (3), well below the top 3.

The Elite: 6-11

6. Kristin Latt – Elite Scoring with Unmatched Potential, Guaranteed Top 5:

Kristin Latt's FPRP of 35.81 wasn't just great—it was elite, trailing only Ricky Wysocki and Gannon Buhr among all players who played at least 16 rounds. However, a midseason injury sidelined her for two months, causing her to miss nine potential events and limiting her total fantasy output. But when she returned, she made it clear she hadn't lost a step, winning back-to-back events and reaffirming her dominance. Had she played as many rounds as Missy Gannon last year, Latt likely would have outscored Barela, Heimburg, and Anttila in total fantasy points. Her fantasy ceiling is entirely dependent on how many events she chooses to play in 2025 but if she is on your team, expect weekly Event Bonuses.

Best Stat: 1st in Podiums (13), Tied 1st in 2nd and 3rd Place Finishes, 2nd in Wins (7).

Interesting Stat: As many Eagles (3) as Calvin and Niklas.

7. Isaac Robinson – Reliable, Clutch, and Poised for a Bigger 2025:

Isaac Robinson's FPRP of 33.49 was nearly identical to Anthony Barela's, but he played seven fewer rounds, limiting his total fantasy output. One thing fantasy managers can count on—Isaac will always show up at the biggest events, delivering elite scoring when it matters most. With his new European sponsor, expect him to be more present than ever on tour, especially during the West Coast Swing, where the NW Disc Golf Championships' title sponsor is also his own, and he has already committed to the European Swing. With a potential expanded schedule and a growing rivalry with his brother Ezra, expect Isaac to come out in 2025 looking to prove he's still the best Robinson in fantasy and on tour.

Best Stat: Tied 4th in Yahtzees (11) and 8th in Under Par Total (562).

Interesting Stat: Only 2 podiums all of last year.

8. Ezra Robinson – The Breakout Star, Throw In Potential:

Ezra Robinson's FPRP of 33.29 was just a tick below his brother Isaac's, but what sets him apart is how far he exceeded expectations in 2024. His breakout season showed that he has untapped potential, and with a more complete game, he could take another major leap in 2025. Now backed by a new sponsor, Ezra has hit the ground running, starting his season early with a full New Zealand tour while showcasing fearless Robinspin putts from everywhere. With a new bag in hand and a full season ahead, Ezra will be looking to prove he's the top Robinson on tour—and he has all the tools to make that a real debate by the end of 2025.

Best Stat: 3rd in Turkey Total (69), Tied 5th in Yahtzee Total (11), 7th in Under Par Total (571).

Interesting Stat: Only 3 podiums all of last year.

9. Kyle Klein – High Volume with Top-5 Potential:

Kyle Klein may not have cracked the elite tier in FPRP with 31.38, but his youth and durability make him one of the most reliable fantasy assets. He ranked in the 99th percentile for total Rounds Available, meaning he showed up and played more events than nearly anyone on tour. His early-season performances in 2024 proved he has the skill to compete at the highest level, but sustaining that level for a full season is the next step. If he can carry that form across all of 2025, Klein has a real chance to finish as a top-5 fantasy scorer by year's end.

Best Stat: 4th in Birdie Total (599), Under Par Total (604), and tied 4th Total Turkeys (67).

Interesting Stat: Only 1 podium all of last year.

10. Aaron Gossage – Workhorse with a Revamped Putting Stroke:

Though Aaron Gossage's FPRP of 29.38 is lower than some of his contemporaries, much of that can be attributed to struggles on the green, What sets him apart, however, is his durability a—he was an absolute workhorse in 2024, finishing with a RA% second only to Gannon. The biggest reason for optimism? His new spin putt, which he debuted during the New Zealand tour in the offseason. If it sticks and he remains such big threat for eagles, Gossage could far exceed this ranking.

Best Stat: Tied 4th in Eagle Total (8), 10th or 11th in Birdie Total (542), Hambone Total (22), and Yahtzee Total (10).

Interesting Stat: Only 2 podiums last year, both 3rd Place.

11. Paul McBeth – The Legend with Something to Prove:

Paul McBeth's FPRP of 31.76 ranked 10th among all players who played at least 16 rounds, proving that even in a down year, he remains one of the best fantasy scorers. For the first time in his career, he went a full season without a DGPT win, raising the question—will that fuel his motivation in 2025 as he continues his chase for the all-time Majors record? Despite age and lingering injuries, McBeth remains one of the most reliable players on tour, ranking in the 95th percentile for Rounds Available. As long as he's competing, he'll be a fantasy force—but whether he can return to his dominant form remains to be seen.

Best Stat: T-4th Yahtzee Total (11), 7th in Hambone Total (27), 9th in Birdie Total (554).

Interesting Stat: Four podiums (2x 2nd Place, 1x 3rd Place).

Any Week Could be Their Week: 12-18

12. Holyn Handley – Elite Distance and Expanding Schedule:

Holyn Handley's FPRP of 30.20 is backed by one of the biggest arms in the FPO field, giving her more eagle opportunities than almost any other player on tour. Her ability to attack long par 4s and 5s makes her a high-ceiling fantasy asset, especially on courses that reward power. While her event schedule has been somewhat limited in past seasons, there's reason to believe she'll be playing more events than ever in 2025. If that holds true, Holyn's elite throwing ability combined with increased availability could make her one of the best value picks in the draft.

Best Stat: T-9th in total eagles (9), 3x 1st place finishes and 9x podiums.

Interesting Stat: T-36th in BRP, which was second in the FPO division.

13. Joseph Anderson –Elite Mechanics and Availability:

Joseph Anderson's FPRP of 29.88 suggests he's already a high-level fantasy contributor, but what makes him even more intriguing is his youth and improvement. With some of the smoothest form in the game, Joey Buckets always sets himself up for steady fantasy production. His biggest limitations? Limited eagle potential compared to some of the top-tier scorers and occasional short misses on the green, which can hold him back from converting more birdie chances. If he cleans up his putting, he could be a steal, and he was already knocking on the door of the top ten last year.

Best Stat: 11th in Total Turkeys last season.

Interesting Stat: 0 eagles last year

14. Matthew Orum – Fantasy Consistency, Event Volume a Question:

Matty O remains one of the most consistent fantasy options, posting an FPRP of 30.13 and rarely missing cuts. His smooth game and high-floor playstyle make him a strong pick for managers who want steady scoring throughout the season. The main knock? He doesn't always commit to a full touring schedule, which could limit his total fantasy impact. But when he plays, you know exactly what you're getting—a reliable fantasy contributor who rarely has a bad week.

Best Stat: Finished in 8th with .84 TPR.

Interesting Stat: Only 1 podium last year, 2nd place but also got one ace!

15. Missy Gannon – Reliable, High-Volume Scorer:

Missy Gannon is one of the most durable, high-availability players on tour, and while her FPRP of 28.96 isn't elite, her ability to play a full schedule makes her a valuable fantasy asset. She thrives on smart, consistent golf, and while she doesn't always put up explosive rounds, she racks up solid finishes week after week. Fantasy managers looking for a high-floor, low-risk pick should have Gannon firmly on their radar.

Best Stat: 3rd in 1st place finishes (5) and total of 8 podiums, T-4th, T-10th in RPRA.

Interesting Stat: 27th in total birdies, despite very high RPRA.

16. Ohn Scoggins – Putting Wizard with High FPRP:

Ohn Scoggins continues to defy expectations, delivering an FPRP of 30.74, one of the highest in the FPO field. Her elite putting keeps her competitive in every event, even when her distance off the tee isn't on par with the top bombers. The main concern? Rounds Available—she already plays fewer events than her contemporaries and that could continue to go down. But when she's on the course, she is one of the most efficient scorers in the game and a rock-solid fantasy pick.

Best Stat: T-4th in podiums (8), T-8th in wins (2), T-1st in second place finishes (4).

Interesting Stat: T-55th in Total Yahtzees.

17. James Proctor – Underrated and Trending Up:

James Proctor's FPRP of 29.84 doesn't tell the full story of his 2024 season. He started the year slow, struggling to find his rhythm before stepping away mid-season to get married. When he returned, he looked refreshed and locked in, stringing together one of the best fantasy finishes in the field over the back half of the season. Had he played as many rounds as Joseph Anderson, he would have been right in the mix for a top-10 fantasy finish. If Proctor can carry that momentum into 2025, he'll be a strong fantasy asset for managers willing to bet on his second-half form.

Best Stat: Got 2x wins on tour last year and 3 podiums.

Interesting Stat: T-23rd in Hambones despite being T-18th for Yahtzees.

18. Adam Hammes – High Volume with Streaky Scoring:

Adam Hammes' FPRP of 27.44 is lower than many of the names ahead of him, but what he lacks in per-round scoring, he makes up for in sheer availability—ranking in the 95th percentile for RA. He's never not on tour, giving managers plenty of chances to cash in on his performances. His biggest weapon is his hot putting, which can turn an average fantasy round into a great one. However, his limited eagle potential holds him back from competing with the top-tier fantasy scorers. If he can find more scoring opportunities, Hammes could outperform expectations in 2025.

Best Stat: T-8th in holes played, T-12th in Hambones, and in 12th for Turkeys.

Interesting Stat: 0 podiums last year.

Part-Time Stars: 19-24

Anyone in this group could be a top ten Fantasy Scorer any week.

19. Simon Lizotte – Limited Schedule, Unlimited Excitement:

Simon Lizotte's FPRP of 29.96 remains high despite a down year and missing six straight DGPT events following the birth of his child. He's hinted at a lighter tour schedule, making availability a concern, but when he plays, he's always a threat. Every course gives him at least one eagle opportunity, and having Simon on your team guarantees big-scoring potential and a little extra excitement every weekend.

Best Stat: T-4th in Eagles with 8 and he podiumed once with a big 1st place finish.

Interesting Stat: T-91st in Holes Played.

20. Chris Dickerson – Elite Scorer, Limited Availability:

Chris Dickerson consistently proves he belongs among the top fantasy scorers, finishing with 32.25 FPRP. However, as has been the case nearly every year, his Rounds Available (RA) remains a major red flag, as he played in just 62.11% of total rounds last season. While he'll deliver huge fantasy numbers when he plays, his selective schedule means you could be left scrambling for replacements, especially during the West Coast events and the European swing. Draft him knowing that you're getting elite FPRP—but only for part of the season.

Best Stat: Great PR stats. Finished 9th in Under Par Holes PR, 11th in HPR, 9th in YPR.

Interesting Stat: Finished with 0 eagles, only two podiums.

21. Evan Smith – High FPRP, Bigger Schedule Ahead:

Evan Smith's FPRP of 29.89 puts him ahead of players like Gossage, Proctor, and Joseph Anderson, showing his ability to score when he's on the course. The biggest concern has always been Rounds Available, as he played in just 57.89% of events last year. With a new sponsor and a more structured season ahead, expect Smith to be a serious contributor week in and week out, making him a strong fantasy pick if his schedule expands.

Best Stat: Incredible PR stats. 4th in YPR, 7th in HPR, 11th in TPR, 14th in UPPR.

Interesting Stat: 1 ace, 4 eagles, and zero podiums.

22. Eveliina Salonen – Elite Scorer with Availability Concerns:

Eveliina Salonen played in just 60% of Rounds Available last season, but when she was on the course, she delivered, finishing with an FPRP of 28.68, just behind Missy Gannon. Despite the limited schedule, she still secured two Major victories, proving she remains one of the most dominant players in the FPO field. If her trend of playing more events continues, she could jump from 46th in Total Fantasy Points last year to a clear top-20 fantasy scorer in 2025. With unlimited scoring potential, the only question is how often we'll see her on tour.

Best Stat: 7th in total podiums, 2x major wins, T-7th in eagles.

Interesting Stat: 90th in BPR, T-90th in Holes Played.

23. Luke Taylor – Young, Explosive, and Playing More:

Luke Taylor's FPRP of 27.98 shows solid scoring potential, but what makes him even more intriguing is his youth and expected increase in availability. At just around 20 years old, he's still developing, and early signs suggest he'll be playing a more full schedule in 2025, an improvement from his 54.74% Rounds Available last year. With his aggressive playstyle and big scoring potential, Taylor could be one of the best breakout candidates if he maintains a heavier tour presence.

Best Stat: 11th in HUPRP at 7.35, T-13th in Eagles.

Interesting Stat: T-111th in Holes Played

24. Eagle McMahon – High Risk, Highest Possible Reward:

Eagle McMahon's 2024 season fell far below expectations, with injuries limiting him to just 51.58% of available rounds and his FPRP dropping to 26.45—a steep decline from his peak years. His reduced schedule and inconsistent play made him a tough fantasy asset to trust. However, if he's truly back to full health in 2025, his upside remains sky-high, with the ability to rack up elite fantasy scores when he's locked in. If still available at this pick, McMahon could be the biggest steal of the draft, offering massive week-winning potential if he returns to form.

Best Stat: 32nd in HUPRP, 1x 3rd place finish.

Interesting Stat: T-120th in holes played.

The Steady Hands: 25-32

A few top tens from these folks could go a long way!

25. Andrew Presnell – Major Winner and Workhorse:

Andrew Presnell may not have the flashiest FPRP at 27.91, but his work ethic and week-to-week availability make him a reliable fantasy option. As a PDGA Major winner in 2024, he proved he can rise to the occasion, but his value comes from grinding out points across a full schedule. If you need a steady scorer who rarely misses events, Presnell fits the bill.

Best Stat: T-20th in Holes Played, 1x Major Win.

Interesting Stat: 0 eagles.

26. Austin Turner – Lefty Bounce-Back Candidate:

Austin Turner's FPRP of 27.94 shows he still has strong fantasy value, but availability was an issue last year as he worked back from injury. Now healthier, he has the potential to return to a fuller schedule and could be an under-the-radar pick. As one of the top left-handed players on tour, Turner's game gives him an advantage on certain layouts, making him an intriguing depth piece for fantasy teams.

Best Stat: 21st in BRP.

Interesting Stat: T-71st in Total Yahtzees.

27. Andrew Marwede – Dependable but Low-Ceiling:

Andrew Marwede's FPRP of 27.52 places him firmly in the reliable but unspectacular category for fantasy disc golf. He plays smart, consistent golf, avoiding major mistakes, but his scoring ceiling isn't as high as some others in this tier. Still, his consistency makes him a safe bet for week-to-week points without much volatility.

Best Stat: T-19th in Total Birdies, T-27th in Holes Played.

Interesting Stat: 0 eagles, 0 podiums.

28. Emerson Keith – High Ceiling, Limited Big-Play Scoring:

Emerson Keith's FPRP of 27.31 makes him a solid mid-tier fantasy option, but what sets him apart is his ability to put together strong finishes, including a DGPT win. He has a high ceiling, but his big-play scoring potential is lower compared to others in this tier—he's not racking up eagles or birdie streaks at the same rate as the top fantasy scorers. However, his steady presence on tour and ability to put himself in contention make him a strong pick in this range.

Best Stat: T-21st in total birdies, T-21st in HUP.

Interesting Stat: 0 podiums, T-36th in Holes Played.

29. Gavin Babcock – High Volume, Workhorse Mentality:

Gavin Babcock may not have the highest FPRP at 26.95, but he makes up for it in sheer availability, playing in 78% of all rounds last season. That workhorse mentality keeps him fantasy-relevant, as his accumulated points over the season can put him ahead of higher-FPRP players who play fewer events.

Best Stat: T-12th in holes played, T-6th in Total Yahtzees, T-12th in HUP.

Interesting Stat: 1 podium, third place.

30. Casey White – High Availability, Moderate Scoring:

With an FPRP of 26.79 and 75.79% of rounds played, Casey White falls into the category of tour regulars who offer steady production but limited upside. He plays a ton, making him a volume-based fantasy option, but his ability to crack top 10s and rack up bonus points remains a question.

Best Stat: 19th in Total Birdies.

Interesting Stat: 0 podiums.

31. Ezra Aderhold – Power and Volume Play:

Ezra Aderhold's FPRP of 26.59 and 76.84% of rounds played make him a high-volume scorer who rarely misses an event. He has the power to generate big scoring opportunities, but consistency has been an issue, making him more of a boom-or-bust fantasy pick in this range.

Best Stat: 13th in Total Birdies and Total Holes Played Under Par, T-7th in Total Yahtzees.

Interesting Stat: 2 podiums.

32. Jakub Semerád – High Scorer with Expanded Schedule:

Jakub Semerád quietly put up an FPRP of 29.20, ranking in the top 25 overall, but his limited availability (67.37% of rounds played) kept him from being a bigger fantasy factor. Early signs suggest he'll be playing more events in 2025, which could make him a difference-maker in fantasy leagues. If his schedule expands, expect him to outperform this ranking and provide solid week-to-week value.

Best Stat: 11th in BPR.

Interesting Stat: 1 podium, T-57th in Holes Played.

FPO Contenders: 33-42

Understanding Fantasy Scoring in FPO

While the top FPO players are every bit as dominant within their field as MPO stars, their fantasy output is often lower simply due to how courses are set up, as discussed above. This doesn't mean FPO players lack value—it just means fantasy managers need to adjust their strategies and expectations, and draft accordingly. A strong FPO pick in this range can still be a game-changer, especially in weeks where the layout allows for more aggressive scoring.

33. Silva Saarinen – Rising Star with Elite Potential:

Still new to the scene, Silva Saarinen's FPRP of 25.90 already puts her in contention as one of the top fantasy scorers in FPO. She was named an All-Star for 2025 and looks to be playing a fuller schedule, which could have her competing with Kristin, Ohn, Missy, Holyn, and Eveliina for the title of second-best FPO player in the world. If she continues her upward trajectory, Silva could be one of the biggest steals in the draft.

Best Stat: 5 podiums, 2 wins, 3x 3rd place.

Interesting Stat: 75th in Total Fantasy Points.

34. Ella Hansen – High Availability, Reliable Starter:

Availability is never a concern with Ella Hansen, who played in 75.79% of total rounds last season, making her one of the most consistent presences on tour. Her FPRP of 23.51 makes her a reliable week-to-week fantasy option, with plenty of scoring upside due to her power game. While she lands just behind Saarinen in the rankings, Hansen should have a starting spot in fantasy lineups nearly every weekend.

Best Stat: T-19th holes played, T-6th Eagles, 1 ace, 3 podiums.

Interesting Stat: 10 total hambones + yahtzees.

35. Kat Mertsch – Power Thrower with High Availability:

Kat Mertsch had a down year scoring-wise, finishing with an FPRP of 21.99, but her availability was elite, playing in 78.95% of total possible rounds. While she's not on Eveliina's level, she can launch discs with the best of them, creating big scoring opportunities and a chance to contend every week. If she finds more consistency, her high-volume schedule could make her a sneaky value pick in fantasy.

Best Stat: T-8th holes played, 2x 2nd Place finish.

Interesting Stat: T-57th in Total Turkeys.

36. Henna Blomroos – Elite Distance, High-Variance Play:

Henna Blomroos is one of the best throwers of the disc of all time, capable of eagle opportunities on almost every course. However, her FPRP of 23.51 was held back by two key factors: putting struggles and limited availability, playing just 53.68% of possible rounds in 2024. If she finds consistency on the green, she could be one of the biggest risers in fantasy, as her scoring potential is as high as anyone not named Kristin Tattar.

Best Stat: 4 podium finishes, T-13th in Total Eagles.

37. Anniken Kristiansen Steen – High Scorer with Expanded Schedule:

Anniken Kristiansen Steen quietly put together an impressive FPRP of 23.03, ranking 9th in the FPO division, but her limited availability (61.05% of rounds played) held back her total fantasy impact. The lefty looks to be gearing up for more events in 2025, which could make her a regular podium contender and a strong fantasy option if her schedule expands.

38. Natalie Ryan – Bounce-Back Candidate with Elite Talent:

Natalie Ryan's FPRP of 21.77 doesn't reflect the level of player she is when at her best. After a challenging 2024 season, she's positioned for a bounce-back year and deserves to be considered one of the best in the FPO division. If she plays a full schedule, Ryan could easily outperform this ranking and become a key fantasy contributor.

Best Stat: Solo 2nd in total eagles with 10!

39. Rebecca Cox – Consistent Presence with Solid Availability:

Rebecca Cox may not have the highest FPRP at 20.10, but her 71.58% Rounds Available keeps her in the fantasy mix as a steady, week-to-week option. While she doesn't have the elite scoring ceiling of some of her peers, her high event volume makes her a valuable depth piece for fantasy teams looking for consistency.

40. Paige Pierce – Injury Comeback with Huge Upside:

Paige Pierce had a down year by her lofty standards, finishing with an FPRP of 19.95 and playing in only 63.16% of events due to injury. If she returns to full strength, she has the potential to be a top-tier fantasy scorer, regularly pushing for podium finishes and big fantasy weeks. Betting on a bounce-back season could pay off in a huge way if Pierce regains her form.

41. Valerie Mandujano – Reliable, High-Floor Option:

Valerie Mandujano may not have had a high-scoring season in 2024, but her steady presence on tour keeps her fantasy-relevant. She plays a fuller schedule than most, making her a reliable option for week-to-week consistency. If she can boost her scoring output, she could easily outperform this ranking as a solid, every-week fantasy starter.

42. Hailey King – Elite Power, Limited Availability:

Hailey King has top-tier scoring ability, with elite power and eagle potential, making her a high-ceiling fantasy asset. The issue? Availability. She hasn't played a full touring schedule, which keeps her from being a fantasy lock week in and week out. If she plays more in 2025, she has the potential to be a major steal at this pick.

Best Stat: 3 podium finishes, all 2nd place.

Wild Cards: 43-50

High Impact, Unknown Results or Availability

These players may not play many events, but when they do, there's a good chance they'll finish in the top 10. Their elite talent makes them dangerous fantasy options, but their availability is uncertain, making them high-risk, high-reward picks. If they commit to more events than expected, they could be steals at this stage of the draft.

Not only are these players worth considering in the later rounds, but they should also be monitored on the free-agent list throughout the season. If they show up at an event, they could be an instant lineup upgrade for that week.

43. Paul Ulibarri – Bounce-Back Candidate with High Availability Potential:

Paul Ulibarri's FPRP of 27.65 ranked in the top 35 last year, but his season was cut short due to injury. Historically, he's been one of the most consistent presences on tour, and if he returns to his full schedule, he could be a difference-maker in fantasy. If he's playing, he's worth a look, especially as a free-agent pickup in deeper leagues.

44. Cole Redalen – Injury Return with Targeted Value:

Cole Redalen's FPRP of 27.67 took a hit last year as injuries derailed his season, and early indications suggest he won't be playing a full schedule in 2025. That said, when he does play, he has the potential to rack up strong fantasy performances. He may not be a draft-and-hold player, but keep an eye on his schedule—if you need a boost, he could be a key waiver wire addition at certain events.

45. Sofia Donnecke – Rising Star with Explosive Upside:

Sofia Donnecke is still establishing herself on tour, but her game already shows massive scoring potential. She has the power to compete with the best and rack up fantasy points in big bursts, but like Hailey, her availability is the biggest concern. If she commits to more events, she could be one of the biggest fantasy surprises of the season.

Best Stat: T-6th in Rounds Played.

46. Corey Ellis – Injury Setback, Bounce-Back Potential:

Corey Ellis' FPRP of 26.41 is well below what he's capable of, and much of that can be attributed to a nagging injury he picked up early in the season, which also contributed to his 66.32% availability. When fully healthy, he has the tools to be a top-15 fantasy scorer, making him a high-upside bounce-back candidate in 2025. If he returns to form and plays a fuller schedule, he could far outperform this ranking and become a steal in later rounds.

Best Stat: Crazy stat, despite being T-60th for holes played, he was T-16th for Total Turkeys.

47. Gavin Rathbun – High Variance with a Full Schedule:

Gavin Rathbun had a resurgent season in 2024, finishing with an FPRP of 26.15 while playing in 74.74% of available rounds. When he was on, he was way up, but when he struggled, it wasn't pretty. With a new sponsor backing his tour, he could be looking to stabilize his performances and push toward the top. If he finds more consistency, he has the potential to be a strong mid-tier fantasy contributor in 2025.

Best Stat: 25th in HPUP.

48, 49, 50. Mason Ford, Jake Hebenheimer, Bradley Williams:

Mason Ford, Jake Hebenheimer, and Bradley Williams all fall into the same category—highly capable fantasy scorers with limited schedules. Each posted an FPRP between 26.86 and 26.98, ranking solidly in the mid-tier, but their availability ranged from just 65.26% to 68.42% of rounds played. When they do show up, they have the ability to compete for top finishes, making them valuable spot-start options throughout the season. While they may not be worth drafting in every league, keeping an eye on their schedules and grabbing them as free agents for specific events could provide a major fantasy boost.

Closing Thoughts – Build Your Championship Team

Fantasy disc golf is all about finding the right balance of consistency, upside, and availability—and this guide has given you the tools to navigate the draft and build a winning team. Whether you're locking in elite fantasy scorers, taking a chance on high-risk, high-reward wild cards, or keeping an eye on free-agent pickups throughout the season, success comes down to staying engaged and making smart decisions week after week.

The draft does not make or break your season. Don't be afraid to cut ties with an underperforming player in favor of an up-and-comer from the free-agent pool. Fantasy championships are often won by finding hidden value in players who heat up mid-season.

Also, keep an eye on the weird time of year when events are played in the U.S. and Europe on back-to-back weekends. These schedule quirks create opportunities to grab overlooked players who can rack up points while the talent pool is split between the two continents. (Hint: Mauri Villmann!)

With course knowledge, schedule tracking, and an understanding of player strengths, you'll be ahead of the game. So get your draft board ready, make the picks that fit your strategy, and enjoy what's shaping up to be an incredible season of Pro Disc Fantasy.

See you on the leaderboards!
