Chris Buescher an Easy DFS Pick for the Daytona 500
Thanks to a crash in the Duel race on Thursday night, Chris Buescher will now start from dead last (41st-place) for Sunday's running of the 68th annual Daytona 500. Thankfully for Buescher and the No. 17 team, that isn't a major disadvantage, as any driver in the field, from any starting position, can go on to win this race. From a DFS perspective, Buescher suddenly becomes the safest play on the slate. With his last-place starting spot, it is impossible for him to score negative FPTS on DraftKings, and the sky is the limit when it comes to his Place Differential upside. Although there is certainly strategy in going underweight on Buescher in tournaments, he's still one of the best fantasy plays on this slate. Since the start of 2023, Buescher has the second-best average driver rating (97.0) and the best average finish (8.3).
