Branden Grace Has A Little Value At Colonial

Branden Grace does not do anything very well on the tour. His numbers balance out to around average and yet he was in contention on Sunday at the PGA before a final-round 78. So, there is potential but something seems to short circuit in tournaments not named the Puerto Rico Open (his only 2021 win). […]

Harold Varner III Offers Some Upside At Colonial

Harold Varner III is excellent from tee-to-green but once he gets on the green, the adventure just begins. His average putting (.031 strokes gained -- 111th) may let him down this week at the Charles Schwab. If the PGA last week was any indicator, Varner III was able to get on the green but had […]

Cameron Tringale Should Bounce Back At Colonial

Last week was a disaster for Cameron Tringale as he shot an 82 on Friday to miss the cut at the PGA. That included the final five holes where he went +13 including a 10 on hole number 16. He was briefly leading at -5 thru 13 last Friday. Sometimes it just happens. The wind […]

Adam Hadwin May Have Another Tough Week At Colonial

Adam Hadwin was able to stick around for the weekend at the PGA but a 76 on Saturday all but killed any chances for a good finish on Sunday. It has been a struggle since the RBC for the Canadian who had missed three straight cuts before Kiawah Island. Hadwin can play well around the […]

Ian Poulter Will Need Putter To Make Noise At Colonial

Ian Poulter's putter is a weapon. His strokes gained ranks 9th on the tour and were one of the reasons why he meandered around the top-30 at the PGA last week. The problem for Poulter is getting to the green. He was another golfer who struggled to even drive the ball 280 yards at the […]

Lee Westwood Still An Enigma Heading Into Colonial

Lee Westwood frustrated last week at the PGA blowing up what looked like a promising weekend with a Sunday 77. Everything in his game went off-kilter especially his tee-to-green play where he lost several strokes (five bogeys in all). The Charles Schwab suits his game a little bit better where he does not have to […]

Henrik Stenson One To Stay Away From At Colonial

Henrik Stenson was three-under-par at one point during the first round of the PGA and then it unraveled again. Stenson stumbled his way to a Thursday 73 then just barely made the cut with a Friday 76. It did not get much better over the weekend and Stenson was outside the top-60 again when all […]

Billy Horschel Has Decent Upside At Colonial

Billy Horschel was able to squeak in at the cut line last week at the PGA and then shot four-under over the weekend including a 68 on Saturday. That got him up to 23rd in a tournament few expected him to do well after an opening 77. While his game doesn't fully suit well to […]

Kevin Na Not In Good Form Heading Into Colonial

Yes, Kevin Na won the Colonial in 2019 over Tony Finau but the golfer now resembles little of the golfer then. Na had an awful two days at the PGA Championship shooting 79-78 to miss the cut significantly. His driving accuracy is still pretty solid at 24th (67.6%) but so many other parts of his […]

Abraham Ancer Expects To Contend This Week At Colonial

Abraham Ancer may not drive the ball far but he can drive it straight. That ability alone would be enough to rate him highly at the Colonial. His 72.89% driving accuracy ranks second on the entire tour. Combine that with his nearly 69.85% greens-in-regulation (12th) and Ancer quickly vaults up a lot of lists to […]

Daniel Berger One Of The Favorites To Win At Colonial

Daniel Berger will be asked this a thousand times this week and weekend. Can he do it again? Last year, Berger was able to negotiate the field en route to a win at the Charles Schwab. He shot -15 par which included two clutch birdies on the back nine (and the final hole) to seal […]

Tony Finau Might Not Be The Best Option At Colonial

Tony Finau has had some issues with driving accuracy this year and the Colonial is about as tight and narrow of a course as they come. His 55.6% driving accuracy ranks 166th on tour by the way. If he cannot get the ball accurately on the fairway, Finau won't be able to utilize his ability […]

Patrick Reed's Putting Should Help Him Contend At Colonial

Patrick Reed has a chance this week at Colonial almost simply because he hits the ball fairly straight and putts very well. It is the latter that will play a huge role in his four days at the Charles Schwab. Reed is second on the tour in strokes gained to putting at 0.993. Reed was […]

A.J. Allmendinger Not So Surprisingly Ends Up Fifth At Austin

A.J. Allmendinger was able to easily negotiate the on and off rain all afternoon at the Circuit Of The Americas. His car was certainly not the fastest but he appeared to be the most in control on the 3.41-mile-long track. The result was fifth place for the No. 16 Chevy. He did not lead any […]

Ross Chastain Takes Wild Ride To Fourth Place At Austin

Ross Chastain was all over the track on Sunday at the EchoPark Texas Grand Prix but wow did it look like one wild ride. The No. 42 led four laps in between pit windows and used every inch of the course in getting there. Again, he was someone that could have even contended for the […]

Joey Logano Led Most Laps, Settled For Third At Austin

Joey Logano had one of the fastest cars at Circuit Of The Americas this weekend. The problem was the rain. However, Logano did lead a race-high 14 laps, won Stage 1, and ultimately finished third on Sunday. The Team Penske driver might have had a shot at an even better result but one never knows. […]

Kyle Larson Finishes Second In Rain Soaked Austin Race

The good thing about a rain-shortened race is when one achieves a result few expect. Kyle Larson had been performing solidly during practice and qualifying. Few knew what it would be like on race day. The question was answered emphatically as Larson led four laps and had a shot of catching Chase Elliott if the […]

Chase Elliott Finally Wins His First Race In 2021

It was one crazy, rainy afternoon but Chase Elliott survived and found a way to lead at the right time at Circuit Of The Americas. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver only had to run 54 of the scheduled 68 laps. With all the standing water on the track and expected worsening conditions, the race had […]

Now, that means our new friends over at PrizePicks have a TON of great props we can look to take advantage of. PrizePicks is a great DFS […]

NASCAR DFS Prop Picks: EchoPark Texas Grand Prix - Monkey Knife Fight

Sunday afternoon features the EchoPark Texas Grand Prix from Circuit Of The Americas. William Byron, Joey Logano, Kyle Larson, Kyle Busch, and Chase Elliott made up the top five from the rain-soaked Saturday practice session. Monkey Knife Fight has an extremely easy fantasy point system: 0.1 points for each lap led and then a set […]

Ryan Newman Disappointing In Practice, Not Likely Factor At Austin

Ryan Newman was 34th in practice at Austin on Saturday and lately has just been racing in poor form. The No. 6 Ford just appeared sluggish and slow. Maybe, Newman was just waiting to make adjustments but he has only finished on the lead lap in two of his last six races. Newman did get […]

Tyler Reddick A Risky Option At Austin On Sunday

Tyler Reddick did finish 12th in his only appearance on the Charlotte ROVAL and he has a few decent qualifying results under his belt. Reddick finished 3.18 seconds behind William Byron during the practice session Saturday morning. His Chevy looked pretty fast out there and appeared like there was some extra horsepower left to spare. […]

Austin Cindric Worth Keeping Eye On For Sunday At Austin

Austin Cindric got 11 laps of practice in on the Circuit Of The Americas track Saturday morning. His best lap was 18th overall about 3.1 seconds behind William Byron. The No. 33 Ford was in the top-15 comfortably and close to the top ten in the middle sectors and looked like he was saving something […]

Cole Custer Might Have DFS Upside Based On Early Austin Practice

Cole Custer handled the turns a lot better than projected in the first practice session on Saturday as he managed a 12th place result. The No. 41 Ford had moments where he was in the top ten in certain sectors -- particularly the middle portions of the track. Sometimes builds can perform a little differently […]

Michael McDowell Nabs Tenth In Practice, Might Have Daytona Form Sunday?

The only two top-tens-on-road courses for Michael McDowell are from the Daytona road course in 24 career races. He took his No.34 Ford around the track in just under 160 seconds which was almost 2.2 seconds behind William Byron. It will be interesting to see how McDowell fares in qualifying and ultimately racing in Sunday's […]

Chris Buescher Could Be Slight Factor At Austin On Sunday

Chris Buescher has enjoyed a pretty solid season as he is 14th in the Cup Series standings. He has a top-five and top-ten finish in 14 races for Roush Fenway Racing. The No. 17 Ford managed a solid 11th place morning practice session on Saturday and that may be no fluke. Buescher races pretty well […]

Alex Bowman Enjoy Good Practice, May Translate To Race Sunday

Alex Bowman has a good morning practice session at the Circuit Of The Americas on Saturday morning. Now, 14th does not sound like much but the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver typically starts in the low 20's or so on road courses and works his way upward. The No. 48 has five top-tens in 13 road […]

Ross Chastain Mild Surprise In Practice, Bodes Well For Sunday

Ross Chastain turned a few heads with a nice time during the practice session Saturday morning. It was good for seventh. At the very least, the Chevy may qualify a little better than his usual 20's or 30's on Sunday at Austin. The No. 42 likely does not have the fastest of builds but could […]

William Byron Might Continue Top Ten Streak At Austin

This may be the toughest track for William Byron to maintain his 11-race top-ten streak on Sunday. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver should have one of the fastest cars in qualifying. The keyword is should. It is all about how the No. 24 negotiates the Circuit Of The Americas track. Byron does have four top-tens […]
