NASCAR DFS Tiered Rankings: FireKeepers Casino 400

All other NASCAR Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard.

Welcome to RotoBaller's Tiered Rankings for the twenty-fifth race of the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series season, the FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan International Speedway. For those that are viewing these rankings for the first time, here is how the sheet works.

There are two sets of DFS tiered rankings featured below, with one set of rankings focused on DraftKings DFS contests while the other is focused on FanDuel. Every driver that will officially be starting in this week's race will be listed in a particular tier based on their salary for each site. The tiers feature drivers that have similar price ranges and are ranked based on their final outlook, which is determined by a combination of a driver's expected performance for this week's race as well as their salary.

These ranks will help you make tough lineup calls, telling you which drivers must be started over others in each tier. DFS players from any skill level can use these rankings in order to create a lineup that will cash out.

The second to last race of the NASCAR Cup Series regular season is here with the FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan International Speedway. Regarding lineups for this race, DFS players need to make note of the different drivers that have place differential upside this week. Several drivers with solid equipment are starting 15th or lower this week including one racer from Joe Gibbs Racing that is highly worth considering based on PD upside alone. Michigan is also a track where in recent racers, there are around 3-6 drivers at a time that dominate the race and lead whole portions of the race. Be sure to also start multiple lineups and diversify for this week's race since Michigan is also a track where regardless of the wide track surface, does feature multi-car wrecks that can wipe out portions of the field and make any lineup fall out of contention for DFS supremacy. Take note of this week's rankings carefully and good luck RotoBallers!
