NASCAR DFS Tiered Rankings: Toyota/Save Mart 350

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

Welcome to RotoBaller's Tiered Rankings for the sixteenth race of the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series season, the Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway. 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 NASCAR Cup Series returns to Sonoma for the first time since 2019. Despite plenty of loop data and history at the site, a different course layout was used in 2019 than in prior years. This year's race at Sonoma will be using the same layout as the 2019 race and will impact the outlooks on certain drivers for this week's rankings. Like other road courses, there is a lower lap count than most tracks for Sunday's Cup event so while choosing dominators, or racers expected to lead plenty of laps is still important, the focus for lineup construction should be on finishing position and Place Differential upside. Results from other road course events this season also greatly affected outlooks for this weekend's Cup Series race. Be sure to take a look at rankings carefully for the Toyota/Save Mart 350 and 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.
