2025 Fantasy Outlook
Riley came out of the gates hot during his rookie season in 2022. He posted six top-10s on his way to over $3 million in earnings. He finished that season inside the top-30 and the future appeared to be very bright. The past couple years haven't quite panned out like many had thought, however, as he's regressed in each of the past two seasons. The odd thing is, he actually picked up his first PGA Tour win this past season, but his overall numbers were well off the pace he'd set in 2022. The reason was, after his win in May, his game fell off considerably. There was a reason for that, however, as he was dealing with the loss of his friend Grayson Murray and the impending surgery of his sister to remove a brain tumor. It's completely understandable that after securing a win and his card for 2025, that he'd let golf slip to the side for a while. It's always risky to assume a golfer will get back to who he was before trauma, but Riley had a lot going for him in 2022 and 2023. In this case, an assumption that he gets back to something between his level in 2024 and his rookie year seems pretty safe. Read Past Outlooks

2022
2020
Riley hit the ground running in his rookie season of 2021-2022, but he stumbled a bit this past season. Davis had the same amount of top-3s (1) as the previous season, but his top-10s dropped from six to two. The results didn't affect his earnings that much due to an overall increase in purses, but it's clear that Riley played much better two seasons ago vs. this past season. That provides an opportunity in salary cap leagues however as his number is simply too low this season. Riley is just 26 and it's not uncommon to see a young golfer stumble after having some early success. Riley should bounce back this season and as such, he makes for a solid salary cap pick this season.
