Kevin Na Still Up And Down Heading Into John Deere Classic

Kevin Na seems to be continuing his inconsistent play from one tournament to the next. He has followed up a top finish by missing the cut the past seven times out. With the lack of consistency, it is hard to gauge which Na will show up. His around-the-green ability is the best on tour at […]

Alex Noren Expected To Perform Well At John Deere Classic

Alex Noren nearly won the Rocket Mortgage Classic as he finished tied for fourth last week. This was buoyed by a 67-64 weekend that few saw coming. The only risk with Noren is it seems like he shoots a 74 or worse every other final round of late. Last weekend was a different story as […]

Pat Perez A Good DFS Option At John Deere Classic

Pat Perez can always be a bit of a risk because his game can go south at any time, especially off the tee (149th on tour at -0.154 strokes gained). Over the last eight tournaments, Perez is putting at a top-50 level, and his sand saves have been near 60%. Even his around-the-green play has […]

Seamus Power An A Roll Heading Into John Deere Classic

Seamus Power is on a run with four top-20 finishes in a row. He did not play in the US Open but in the lesser tiered tournaments, Power has performed quite nicely. Honestly, the John Deere Classic is another one of those tournaments. Power has made seven straight weekends behind some pretty solid putting and […]

Chez Reavie Needs To Putt To See The Weekend

Chez Reavie just cannot make enough putts. He ranks 193rd on tour with -0.563 strokes gained. The other problem is Reavie ranks 200th driving a golf ball an average of 281 yards. Even at the John Deere, that can be a bit of an issue at times. He missed seven straight cuts at one point […]

Kyle Stanley Should See The Weekend At John Deere Classic

Kyle Stanley has one major weakness, and that is his putting. Other than not being able to drive the ball 300 yards, Stanley's biggest problem is how he fares on the greens. He ranks 197th in strokes gained in putting at minus-0.633. His around-the-green ability is about average, but again, he has to drop putts […]

Kevin Streelman Should Fare Better At John Deere Classic

Kevin Streelman just had one of those tournaments where little went right. Well, the putts just did not drop as Streelman missed the cut at the Travelers after a five tournament run where he finished 26th or better. That included a t-8th at the PGA Championship and t-15th at the US Open. Streelman is capable […]

Steve Stricker Not Likely To Be A Factor At John Deere Classic

It is great that Steve Stricker is playing at the John Deere this weekend, but that may be where the feel-good story ends. When one barely hits the ball 283 yards off the tee, that can be a problem. The course is only 7,257 yards in distance, but still just long enough. Stricker's approach to […]

Jhonattan Vegas Could Have DFS Upside At John Deere Classic

Jhonattan Vegas might possess some potential DFS-wise this week at the John Deere Classic. At the Byron Nelson and Palmetto Championships, Vegas showed he could hang around finishing in a tie for ninth at both places. He had the putter mostly working on the weekend shooting in the 60's all four times. Aside from the […]

Aaron Wise Must Putt Well To Bounce Back At John Deere Classic

When Aaron Wise even putts pretty good, he can contend. See The Memorial where he wound up tied for ninth. At the PGA, he got on a roll that Sunday, shot a 68, and wound up in the top-20. Then, there was the Travelers where nothing would drop. He made the cut after a 65 […]

Vincent Whaley Not Worth The Risk At John Deere Classic

Vincent Whaley did make it to the weekend at the Rocket Mortgage Classic last week by a whisker, but then he shot a 73 on Sunday in relatively benign conditions. This was after a run of six straight tournaments where he finished in the top 35 or better. Then Whaley followed that up with two […]

Harold Varner III One To Stay Away From At John Deere Classic

Harold Varner III did not see Saturday at the Rocket Mortgage Classic last week at one of the easier tournaments of the summer. That does not bode well for the John Deere Classic. Even if Varner III gets to the weekend, he has not finished in the top-30 since the RBC Heritage Classic in April […]

Scott Stallings Worth A Look This Week At John Deere Classic

Scott Stallings is a risky DFS pick this week at the John Deere Classic. It is the week before "The Open" and strange things often happen. Low scores are very common and driving accuracy is not necessarily needed on the course. The problem with Stallings is he cannot hit very far either (less than 298 […]

Denny Hamlin Still Winless But Finishes Fifth at Road America

A victory in 2021 is just something that is extremely elusive to Denny Hamlin. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver started sixth on Sunday but improved by just one position. That was good enough for another top-five result. However, it was not the result the No. 11 expected. Frustration was very evident Hamlin had to pit […]

Kurt Busch Nabs Fourth Place on Sunday at Road America

Kurt Busch kept fighting the course all afternoon at Road America. He was rewarded for his persistence with a fourth-place result. The No. 1 Chevy took advantage of the Hendricks Racing misfortune and a favorable long run at the end of the race. The elder Busch surged to ninth after Stage 1 and just kept […]

Kyle Busch Fades Late and Settles for Third Place at Road America

Kyle Busch probably had one of the fastest race cars on Sunday at Road America but his car just could muster much late in the race. He faded considerably over the final 16 laps. First, he was passed by eventual winner Chase Elliott. Then, Christopher Bell passed him as well. In the end, he still […]

Christopher Bell Springs Up for Second Place at Road America

It was believed that Christopher Bell could do well at Road America. He had a winning pedigree with different racing cars on the track. He did not disappoint as the Joe Gibbs Racing driver surged into second place late after an impressive passing of Kyle Busch. The top four finishers at Road America on Sunday […]

Chase Elliott Wins at Road America on July 4th

Chase Elliott found himself in a familiar place during a road race. He was at the front. Once the No. 9 car passed Kyle Busch on Lap 46, it was pretty much over. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver won his seventh road race in the last three seasons in a dominating performance. He won by […]

NASCAR DFS Prop Picks: Jockey Made In America 250 - Monkey Knife Fight

Sunday afternoon features the Jockey Made In America 250 from Road America. Monkey Knife Fight has an extremely easy fantasy point system: 0.1 points for each lap led and then a set amount of points for their position (20 for 1st place, 19 for 2nd place, 18 for 3rd, and so on). Our friends at Monkey […]

Tyler Reddick Okay Option at Road America

Tyler Reddick was right around the top ten all last weekend at Pocono. (11th and 9th). He did better at Austin but was still 19th at Sonoma despite some car issues. The Richard Childress Racing driver has had a solid season and is 13th in the points race. He has not finished worse than 20th […]

Erik Jones a Solid Choice at Road America

Erik Jones has some positive results on road courses this year despite starting poorly. The Richard Petty Motorsports driver has a place differential of +23 at Daytona, +13 at Austin, and +7 at Sonoma. That indicates two things. He can improve track position even on not the most ideal road courses. Second, he likely does […]

Brad Keselowski A Decent Choice At Road America

It will depend a lot on where Brad Keselowski starts on Sunday at Road America but the Team Penske driver could surprise a bit. He did finish fifth on the Daytona road course and he was running near the top ten at times in Austin and even at Sonoma. His finishes were not close though. […]

Daniel Suarez a Question Mark at Road America on Sunday

Daniel Suarez has finished in the top 15 five straight races now. The only question is where does he qualify on Sunday. Either way, there is some DFS value for the Trackhouse Racing driver. Suarez is even getting back into contention for "The Chase". He would likely need a big result, preferably a win. The […]

Kurt Busch Still Going For it at Road America

Kurt Busch did not have as good of a Sunday at Pocono but he does have three top ten results in his last four races overall (6th, 8th, and 6th). That does include a sixth at Sonoma where he ran into the top five often. The Chip Ganassi Racing driver has looked much better and […]

Aric Almirola Has Marginal Potential At Road America

Aric Almirola has had his share of awful luck this 2021 season. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver even led a lap a couple of weeks ago at Nashville on his way to a fourth-place finish. Almirola then followed that up with respectable 16th place results over the previous weekend at Pocono. It was not great but […]

Christopher Bell Not Expected to be Factor at Road America

Some will get hooked because of his Daytona road win but he finished outside the top 20 at Austin and Sonoma. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver should have a good car in theory but he may slip some spots because of a decent qualifying effort. That is the expectation anyway. The No. 20 has one […]

Bubba Wallace an Intriguing Option at Road America

Bubba Wallace is definitely on an upswing over the last month and a half or so. The 23XI Racing driver has four top-15 results in his last five races. That includes a 14th at Sonoma and a fifth on Sunday at Pocono. In that race, Wallace even led three laps and was contending until the […]
