Ag-Pro 300 NASCAR DFS Picks on DraftKings

This week’s Xfinity article is going to look a little different. Instead of breaking down individual drivers and their merits as per tournaments or cash games, I’m going to break down drivers according to tiers. The first tier will be potential lap leaders or dominators. The second group is drivers in the teens with top-five potential. Finally, we will round out the tiers with place-differential drivers that would make up the majority of your lineups.

If you’ve played NASCAR DFS long enough, you don’t need me babbling about why Ty Dillon is a fantastic play or why I would totally avoid Josh Berry. Furthermore, you don’t need me going into roster construction. It’s simple, let place differential and finishing position points be the reason you choose one driver over another. And as always at superspeedways, the salary cap is a figment of your imagination…

Potential Lap Leaders

Ranked in order are the drivers I would consider in tournaments as drivers who can ascend to the lead and make up for their lack of place differential with laps-led points. These drivers are hands-off in cash games. However, you can consider a max of one per lineup in tournaments.

Austin Cindric, 1st ($9.600) – won at Daytona back in February, led 28 laps in the process from the pole position.
Justin Haley, 5th ($9,200) – back-to-back Talladega winner.
AJ Allmendinger, 11th ($10,600) – few drivers will have more experience in this field in superspeedway races, has a fantastic drafting partner in Haley.
Harrison Burton, 4th ($8,500) – with Cindric having no real manufacturer alliance as he did with Chase Briscoe last year, he could be a sitting duck for Burton who finished third back at Daytona.
Brandon Jones, 7th ($10,200)
Daniel Hemric, 2nd ($9,400)

Top-Five Finishes from the Teens

While not betting on a win, or even laps led, these drivers could finish in the top five and sneak their way into optimal lineups via finish points and their place differential.

Ty Dillon, 16th ($7,900) – Heck, with as good as Dillon was at Talladega in the Cup Series, you might even consider him a threat to lead Saturday. He’s currently the highest projected scorer according to Awesemo NASCAR DFS projections.
Brett Moffitt, 13th ($9,000) – Finished second at Daytona from a similar starting spot, fifth in the Spring Talladega race in 2020.
Brandon Brown, 18th ($7,600) – No finish worse than 15th in his three Talladega starts, sixth at Daytona.
Michael Annett, 12th ($8,600)
Ryan Sieg, 17th ($9,800) – the Ricky Stenhouse Junior of this Xfinity slate, you’re either getting a top-five or a DNF.
Josh Williams, 15th ($5,500) – two DNFs and two eighth-place finishes in his last four Talladega starts.

Place Differential Options

These are the drivers that should compose the majority of your lineups, a minimum of four to a maximum of six per roster.

Jason White, 40th ($8,400) – starting dead last, finished tenth at Daytona.
Alex Labbe, 30th ($7,500) – 11th and 9th in his past two Talladega starts.
Landon Cassill, 32nd ($7,100) – ninth in his previous start at Talladega, should run a relatively clean race from the rear before making a late charge just as he did in his numerous Cup starts at Talladega and Daytona
Caesar Bacarella, 28th ($6,800)
Jesse Little, 34th (5,600) – four top-20 finishes in his past five superspeedway starts.
Gray Gaulding, 24th ($5,300)
Tommy Joe Martins, 23rd ($6,100)
Matt Mills, 36th ($5,900)
