Ryan Blaney curiously qualified 17th for the third consecutive year at the Chicago Street Course. Blaney is not particularly noted as a road racer, but he finished 10th in last year's race here, matching his best road course finish since Sonoma last year. Because Blaney is not one of the best road racers, he is available at a cheaper price than usual on DFS ($7,500) but he likely won't improve very much from his 17th-place starting position. The two best strategies for DF players would likely be to focus on Place Differential points by drafting Chase Elliott and William Byron or focusing on laps led and fastest lap points by drafting Shane van Gisbergen. Unfortunately, Blaney is probably too expensive to seriously consider under either scenario, so he is only a middling selection.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
