NASCAR DFS Tiered Rankings: Go Bowling At The Glen

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

Welcome to RotoBaller's Tiered Rankings for the twenty-third race of the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series season, the Go Bowling at the Glen at Watkins Glen International. 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.

After a two-week break for the Olympics, the NASCAR Cup Series is back with road course racing at Watkins Glen. Races at road courses typically feature lower lap counts than all other track types meaning that there is a lower amount of scorable points for leading laps. As a result, DFS players must consider focusing their lineups towards picks capable of picking up place differential where possible as well as high finishing positions. Watkins Glen is a track where positions change often due to either pit strategy, crashes, or drivers making mistakes like going off course and pit road speeding penalties. Some drivers with top-notch equipment also start outside of the top-10 and are expected to climb up through the field and compete for a finish towards the front. Pay close attention to this week's rankings as they will help make critical decisions for lineup construction and are based on history at Watkins Glen as well as 2021 road course results. Good luck RotoBallers!

Normally, you can expect these rankings to be published on Thursdays or Fridays for every week that there is a Cup Series race, depending on the schedule of pre-race events. These rankings will also be updated as pre-race events progress throughout the week when applicable and also will include an analysis of each tier of drivers at the conclusion of all pre-race events.
