A.J. Allmendinger Might be a Worthy DFS Option
A.J. Allmendinger has kind of faded into the background in recent years, as he is nowhere near as good at his main strength (road racing) as Shane van Gisbergen is, but he's still performing somewhat decently in his questionable Kaulig Racing cars. Allmendinger used to be very fast at Phoenix in Richard Petty Motorsports' years, when he had two top-10 finishes and three front-row starts, but he's never had a top-10 showing since then. Nonetheless, he failed to post a qualifying time and only costs $5,500 on DraftKings DFS, so he might be worth starting anyway since he usually runs in the middle of the pack and will likely finish a little better than where he started after finishing 22nd in the March race. Allmendinger doesn't really have anything significant at stake, so he will probably be more concerned with getting a finish than running well, but that may mean he might be less likely to crash and therefore be a safer fantasy option.
