NASCAR DFS Prop Picks: Quaker State 400 - Monkey Knife Fight
Sunday afternoon features the Quaker State 400 from Atlanta, Georgia. 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 Knife Fight offer... Read More
Bubba Wallace Not a Bad Idea at Atlanta
For what it is worth, Bubba Wallace is gradually improving in 2021 with 23XI Racing. This has been no easy process but Wallace does have five top 20 finishes in his last five non-road races. The No. 23 even nabbed a fifth-place result during the Sunday Pocono race. That tri-oval is never an easy one... Read More
Erik Jones Expected to Maintain Track Position at Atlanta
Erik Jones likely will not come close to contending at Atlanta even though he has a decent record on intermediate tracks with a 13.9 average finish and one win. The problem is that does not seem to apply to Atlanta that well. He moved up one position this year in the first race (24th to... Read More
Kevin Harvick Still Looking for First 2021 Win at Atlanta
Kevin Harvick has not won a race in 2021. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver does have eight straight top-ten finishes on non-road courses. Harvick also has four top-tens in Atlanta including a tenth this year. He starts 21st on Sunday and represents an excellent opportunity at place differential. That is just at a minimum. The No.... Read More
Aric Almirola Could Have Chance to Move Up at Atlanta on Sunday
Aric Almirola is always a risk for DFS it seems this season, unfortunately. Some extraordinarily bad luck has hurt but at Atlanta, Almirola does have one top-ten finish in four races. The problem is that is just a 25% success rate. For him to have more upside, he probably has to be around tenth at... Read More
William Byron Place Differential Very Real For Sunday at Atlanta
The other question could be whether William Byron can contend. However, starting 19th on Sunday immensely helps for place differential alone. He will likely move into the top ten fairly quickly. One thing for the Hendricks Motorsports Racing driver will be not to crash into his teammate. Byron wound up finishing 33rd after starting from... Read More
Chris Buescher Might Inch Up on Sunday at Atlanta
Chris Buescher starts 18th on Sunday at Atlanta. The first race in 2021 saw him start 17th and finish seventh. Conventional wisdom says that alone is worth a closer look. The problem is that the Roush Fenway Racing driver since Kansas and Darlington (8th and 9th) cannot seem to put two races together. Worse, the... Read More
Alex Bowman Has Good DFS Upside at Atlanta
Alex Bowman has a way of just showing up out of nowhere to do well at races like Atlanta. He started 14th in the first race and contended until very late finishing third. It is more than just that result, however. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver won the Saturday race at Pocono thanks to a... Read More
Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Risky Option at Atlanta
Ricky Stenhouse Jr. can be a case of frustration for DFS players. The JTG Daugherty Racing driver does not lead laps often and has three DNF's in his last ten races. That raises some concerns. He did finish 12th at Wisconsin last week but that was on a road course. The last time at Atlanta,... Read More
Ryan Blaney Won Once in Atlanta, Can He Do it Again?
Ryan Blaney surprised many early in the season as he snuck up and stole a win in Atlanta for Team Penske. He started from the tenth position and did lead 25 laps. That afternoon his car had long runs cornered but could not get near the front till the end when he passed Kyle Larson... Read More
Brad Keselowski Not That Great of a DFS Option Sunday
Brad Keselowski does have some pretty good results lately including a tenth and third at Pocono in June but has mostly been just outside the top ten since Kansas. Other than Darlington and Nashville, he has stayed on the lead lap but fades during longer runs. Worse, it seems like every time the Team Penske... Read More
Austin Dillon Consistency Should Net Decent Result at Atlanta
Austin Dillon has not finished worse than 21st since the Daytona road course way back in February. His consistency has included seven top-15 results in Dillon's last eight races. Those results by themselves are not great but again the Richard Childress Racing driver typically stays out of trouble and gains points (12th overall). He has... Read More
Matt DiBenedetto Expected Not to Stay Near Top Ten at Atlanta
Matt DiBenedetto starts 12th on Sunday for the Quaker State 400. How long he stays around that position is the problem. DiBenedetto and the Wood Brothers Racing team have had issues keeping the car near the front on intermediate tracks. He was in the top five for a while the last time in Atlanta but... Read More
Chase Briscoe Expected to Fall Back Some at Atlanta
Chase Briscoe gets a nice 11th starting position on Sunday but the Stewart-Haas Racing driver may have trouble maintaining that position. Briscoe has not performed well on high-wear tire tracks like Atlanta. He dropped into the 30's for a bit before finishing 23rd earlier this year. His starting position then was 24th but the concern... Read More
Joey Logano Could Hang Around Again at Atlanta
Joey Logano has a habit of just lurking around and then springing up out of almost nowhere. He has finished tenth or worse in three of his last four races but did contend for most of the Saturday Pocono race (ended up 7th leading 18 laps). The Team Penske driver has not finished worse than... Read More
Ross Chastain Could Surprise on Sunday at Atlanta
Ross Chastain carries some risk as performance metrics put him in the ninth position for the second Atlanta race. This was buoyed by his 14th at Atlanta (started 21st) and probably a second in Nashville and seventh last week at Wisconsin. Chastain can drive on road courses no question (three top-tens in the previous three... Read More
Kurt Busch Expected to Keep Momentum Rolling at Atlanta
Can Kurt Busch keep the car on the track in Atlanta? That is the question. Busch has saved his best for this latest stretch with four top-ten finishes in his last five races. That includes a fourth last week at Wisconsin, a sixth on the Saturday Pocono race, and an eighth in Nashville. Part of... Read More
Tyler Reddick Not As Sneaky At Atlanta But Could be Good
Tyler Reddick starts from the seventh spot on Sunday for the Quaker State 400 in Atlanta. The Richard Childress Racing driver is trending in the right direction with seven top-10 results in his last 11 races. Furthermore, he was able to maintain track position even on a road course Sunday with an eighth after starting... Read More
Martin Truex Jr Another Dilemma Come Sunday at Atlanta
Martin Truex Jr. has had an uneven season with three wins and some dominating performances (see Darlington with 248 laps led). Since then, a myriad of issues including some poor driving has led Truex to just one top-five in his last seven races. That includes a ninth in Wisconsin and an 11th for the Sunday... Read More
Christopher Bell Has Question Marks Heading into Atlanta
So, which Christopher Bell shows up on Sunday? The one that finished second in last week at Wisconsin where he challenged Chase Elliott or the driver that never gets going like at Pocono? It's a great question with an unclear answer. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver did finish ninth in Nashville although some argue that... Read More
Denny Hamlin Should Contend in Atlanta Again
The burning question for Denny Hamlin is when does he win a race already? He still leads the points race by a scant few over Kyle Larson. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has 11 top-five finishes without a win. Hamlin has an average finish of 6.0 in his last four races at Atlanta including three... Read More
Kyle Busch Headlines Joe Gibbs Racing Resurgence Heading Into Atlanta
Kyle Busch comes into Atlanta on a hot run. Busch finds himself fourth in the points race with two wins under his belt. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has five top-five finishes in his last six races. If not for a grip issue in Nashville, it might have been six. Since Kansas, the No. 18... Read More
Chase Elliott Gains Pole For Quaker State 400
Chase Elliott, through performance metrics, is on the pole for Sunday's Quaker State 400 at Atlanta. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver righted things with a road win last Sunday in Wisconsin where he led 24 laps. After the mess in Pocono (finished outside the top-ten both times) and the Nashville disqualification for lugnuts, Elliott needed... Read More
Kyle Larson Favorite Yet Again at Atlanta
Kyle Larson may be a favorite for weeks and weeks to come. The only concern is what calamity befalls him. Will it be a collision with a teammate, a blown tire, or something else. This is the second trip to Atlanta. The first trip saw Larson dominate most of the race, lead 269 laps, and... Read More
NASCAR Xfinity Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Atlanta Credit Karma Money 250 (7/10/21)
It's a road course Saturday, as the Xfinity Series rolls into Road America. There's qualifying this week, so take these DFS picks with a grain of salt for now, because we don't know place differential stuff. But based on track history and DFS pricing, I've got six drivers to keep an eye on this week.... Read More
NASCAR Truck Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Knoxville Corn Belt 150 (7/9/21)
We're going dirt racing on Friday night as NASCAR makes its debut at Knoxville Raceway. We'll have qualifying, so this week's article is missing some important information that can help you maximize your fantasy score. The lack of past track data also complicates things. But we know who is good at driving Trucks and who... Read More
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... Read More
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... Read More
