Christopher Bell An Obvious DFS Pick At Atlanta

Christopher Bell is one of the most obvious DFS picks on Sunday's DraftKings slate for the Ambetter Health 400.

Pair that with his relatively low salary of $8,200, and you have a chalk […]

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. A Great Place-Differential Play This Weekend

As has been the case with most races at Atlanta in the Next Gen era, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. should be a solid place-differential play on DraftKings for this weekend's Ambetter Health 400.

Justin Haley Has Been Very Respectable At Atlanta Since The Repave
