Is AJ Allmendinger an option in DFS this weekend? The Kaulig Racing driver is pretty cheap on DraftKings ($6,100) for Sunday's Shriners Children's 500, but he qualified up in 16th for this weekend's race, so is he worth the risk? Allmendinger has had decent runs at Phoenix Raceway in the past, but has struggled at the track in the Next Gen era. In four races at Phoenix with this new car, Allmendinger has ended up 20th or worse three times, although he did walk away with a 12th-place finish in the fall 2022 race after starting 16th (the same spot he qualified this weekend). The No. 16 Chevrolet didn't pop out in practice as being very strong, but track position is pretty important with this Next Gen car, too. You probably shouldn't go super heavy on Allmendinger in DFS contests this weekend, but if you're max entering, you should probably have a low level of exposure in case he sneaks into the top 10.--Jordan McAbee
