Paul McBeth is Defending Champ at Memorial (Not playing in 2023). Barela took 2nd, Gossage took 3rd, and Hammes and Gibson tied for 4th - in 2022.
KJ nearly wins LVC, but remains 7th in rankings. His worst finish, of 5 times playing in past 5 years at LVC is 7th place. His best finish at Waco in past 5 years (played all 5) is 19th place. Isaac benefits from AF treating his 82nd place finish at LVC as fluke. Memorial ought to be good bounce back, and his only time playing Waco resulted in 5th place. Klein has biggest rise in rankings among top 10, after taking 4th at LVC, and a solid Waco avg coming up.
Updated after Memorial - top 29 for MPO remains about the same, except for Drew dropping from 8th to 13th, and players in between moving up 1 spot heading into Waco

Cale Leiviska gets largest bump in rankings this week with stellar avg at Waco, coming up, 2nd to McBeth. Of the 3 times Cale has played in past 5 years, his worst finish is 5th place.
Ezra follows similar pattern to KJ in that Aderhold took 2nd at LVC, and is actually dropping in AF rankings. His worst LVC finish in past 5 years is 13th place. His best Waco finish though is 27th, and he took 83rd in 2022. He's averaging 48th place in his 3 times played at Waco in past 5 years.

Many Memorial players in this grouping, all quite capable of winning that event. Memorial is fairly prominent, strong field, but does not play in standard 2023 fantasy leagues.
After Thomas Gilbert's 77th place finish at LVC, and non elite A+ avg or last 5 of 2022, it might seem out of place to include him in the rankings. His 1st 4 events in 2022, he average 10th place, including 5th at Waco.
