It might initially seem tempting to look at Riley Herbst for DFS play since he costs only $5,300 and is driving for a 23XI Racing team that led the most laps with Bubba Wallace two years ago at Texas, especially since he only starts 21st. However, he is still a rookie and there was no way his three straight 17th place finishes to start the season on unusual track types were in any way sustainable when getting to the bread-and-butter tracks. Herbst's only hope is a pit strategy play and it won't be surprising if the No. 35 team tries it since it is so hard to pass and he has a fast car. However, it seems that both he and his crew chief Davin Restivo are too inexperienced to contend even after strategy. In a race where Herbst's superstar Tyler Reddick only qualified four spots better, there are too many better options to consider him for Place Differential points.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
