The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series heads to Gateway—or World Wide Technology Raceway, if you want to get technical—on Saturday for the Toyota 200.
Corey Heim is on the pole for Saturday's race. Heim has made five starts this season, winning once but struggling otherwise, with an average finish of 19.2. John Hunter Nemechek leads the point standings by seven points over Ben Rhodes. Zane Smith leads the series in wins with three.
Here at RotoBaller, we want to help you make informed decisions about your DFS lineups, which is why I'll be breaking down the slates for the Truck Series. Let's look at some NASCAR Truck Series DFS lineup picks for the Toyota 200 on DraftKings.

John Hunter Nemechek ($11,400) - Starting 6th
Nemechek is on a strong run right now, finishing sixth or better in seven consecutive races. After some struggles early in the season, Nemechek is on fire. He's taken the points lead. He's posting multiple fastest laps in each race. And last week was the first time since April that he hadn't led laps.
Nemechek's last two visits here didn't go well, as he finished outside the top 20. But he was the 2017 winner of this race, leading 46 laps in a NEMCO truck. He also led 53 laps here in 2014 before finishing 15th. Lots of good experience at this track plus his strong recent run makes him my pick to win Saturday's race.
Ben Rhodes ($10,700) - Starting 15th
Rhodes offers a little bit of place differential upside, as he'll roll off 15th on Saturday.
In 10 races this season, Rhodes has seven top 10s, with an average finish of 11.7. The 175 laps he's led are his most since 2018.
He's run this track six times. He's yet to win, and has only led four laps here, but he's finished in the top 10 four times, including a second place in 2016 and a third last year. Rhodes should be a solid threat for a top five on Saturday.
Grant Enfinger ($9,600) - Starting 10th
Enfinger starts 10th on Saturday. Not quite as much place differential upside as you might want, so feel free to pivot off of him and onto the similarly priced plays Corey Heim ($9,300, starts 1st so has that laps led upside) or Johnny Sauter ($8,900, starts 18th so has some more PD upside).
But why I like Enfinger is that he's usually competitive here. Take out last year's race when he was in that No. 9 truck that wasn't fast and you see some really good numbers. Three top 10s in four races, while he led 36 laps the time he finished 21st. Enfinger is a dark horse pick to win this race.

Tate Fogleman ($6,800) - Starting 35th
I feel like I just keep playing Tate Fogleman in fantasy these days. Is it a good idea? Sometimes!
He's had some decent runs lately, finishing 20th at Kansas and 22nd at Texas. His average finish this year is 23.6...and considering he starts 35th on Saturday, a finish around his average finish would make for a solid fantasy day.
Because he isn't in great equipment, I don't care too much about his past performance here, but he does have an average finish of 19.7 here and was 14th last year. The 30 truck, driven by Danny Bohn then, was just 36th here with a blown engine.
Jordan Anderson ($6,100) - Starting 30th
Anderson has only run three races this season, but he has an average finish of 19.3, the highest of his Truck Series career. And that includes zero superspeedway starts, which is notable because it means that Anderson is running well on tracks that aren't crapshoots.
His most recent start came at Texas, where he started 27th and finished 14th. He's finished ahead of his starting spot in every race this season and should do that again on Saturday.
Tyler Hill ($5,400) - Starting 27th
Hill was 21st at Kansas and 25th at Texas. There's a little less wiggle room when it comes to fantasy scoring this week because he starts 27th, his best start of the season.
But Hill started 27th at this track last year and finished 11th. Gateway is more of a driver track than a truck track, in the sense that a solid driver can cover up issues with the vehicle. Last year, Austin Wayne Self had a top 10 here, for example. Hill has more downside than he's had in his other two starts, but arguably more upside too.
