Austin Dillon Primed For Good Result At Texas

Austin Dillon tends to put it more together at Texas than other tracks. He led 22 laps en route to a win last year on the 1.5-mile intermediate track. The good news is that begins the race 15th on Sunday. The even better news is that Dillon has finished on the lead lap five consecutive […]

Alex Bowman Tough To Avoid At Texas

Alex Bowman has endured a mixed bag of results at Texas. He does have fifth-place finishes in the last two Fall races. Now, the problem is that pesky alternator issue.

Matt DiBenedetto Might Surprise At Texas On Sunday

His best finish is 15th on the track, and Buescher has only […]

Tyler Reddick Expects To Thrive At Texas

Tyler Reddick's car runs well at Texas Motor Speedway. His 15th in the Fall race after a second last year cemented that notion. Reddick was in the top ten before some bad luck befell him late in that race. The Richard Childress Racing driver starts ninth on Sunday. His No. 8 car could be one […]

Martin Truex Jr. A Reasonable Choice At Texas

Martin Truex Jr. has never won on the Texas Motor Speedway course. One would think a low-maintenance intermediate track would be good for the No. 19 car. Honestly, it has. He did have a second-place finish during the Fall race last year. Truex Jr. led 53 laps as well. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver starts […]

Brad Keselowski Unlikely To Win Again At Texas

Brad Keselowski starts from the seventh position on Sunday at Texas Motor Speedway. He qualifies third among the other Team Penske drivers. Keselowski has never won at the track but did finish ninth and sixth last year. He has two DNF"s in the last six races on the course as well. Again, he did lead […]

Chase Elliott Begins Sixth At Texas On Sunday

Joey Logano Should Be Up Front At Texas On Sunday

Joey Logano has not won at Texas Motor Speedway since 2014 but he keeps coming close time and time again. The Team Penske driver has eight top six results in his last ten races on the track. Logano's No. 22 car has been constantly up front in stages. However, he has only led 4.43% of […]

Ryan Blaney Drives Remarkably Well At Texas

Most might be surprised with how Ryan Blaney has fared at the 1.5-mile speedway at Texas. Is he sort of the forgotten driver? That's somewhat true. Blaney has five top ten results in his last six races with a driver rating that exceeds 110. The Team Penske driver also has led 12.71% of the laps […]

Kyle Busch A Hot Commodity At Texas On Sunday

It does seem that Kyle Busch has it figured out at Texas Motor Speedway after some years of lackluster results. The last three seasons have seen the younger Busch finish in the top ten five times. Also, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver has won twice while leading the second-most laps and enjoying a driver rating […]

Can Denny Hamlin Win At Texas On Sunday?

Denny Hamlin has won the opening leg of a playoff round twice in this postseason. Can he make it 3 for 3 in Texas? That's the big question. The No. 11 car has much better results overall on intermediate tracks compared to the Fort Worth course. He has seven wins in the last three seasons […]

Kyle Larson Fast Enough To Contend at Texas

Kyle Larson's speed intervals on 1.5-mile tracks are well-documented, but the driver again has a one-race cushion in the round of eight over Martin Truex Jr. Metrics has Larson starting on the pole this Sunday at the Texas Motor Speedway. The No. 5 driver ranks fourth with an average finish of 10.0 on intermediate tracks […]

Broncos Defense Must Limit Big Plays In Week 6

The Denver Broncos defensive line should have the advantage in Week 6 against a Las Vegas Raiders offensive line that ranks 20th in pressure rate allowed and 31st in yards per carry. The key will be limiting big plays in the passing game, as they've allowed seven completions of 30-plus yards this year, which is […]

Brandon McManus - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus will be looking to stay perfect in a big matchup against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders in Week 6. McManus has made all 11 of his field-goal attempts and all nine of his extra-point tries through five weeks to rank him as the No. 8 fantasy kicker. The move from […]

Noah Fant - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant had just three catches for 20 yards and wasn't targeted until the fourth quarter in the Week 5 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The reason? His lack of involvement was a direct result of the team's decision to slow down Pittsburgh's edge rushers. The Las Vegas Raiders have some […]

Tim Patrick - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick hasn't put up gaudy numbers or done anything overly special with Jerry Jeudy sidelined by a high ankle sprain, but he is quietly one of the NFL's best receivers. Through five weeks, Patrick leads the NFL by a wide margin with a plus-15.8% catch rate over expected. Oh, and […]

Courtland Sutton - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton woke up in the Week 5 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, catching seven of his 11 targets for 120 yards and his first touchdown of the season. Aside from his two 100-yard games, though, Sutton has been pretty quiet despite ranking second behind Davante Adams with 644 air yards […]

Javonte Williams - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Denver Broncos rookie running back Javonte Williams seems to waiting patiently for his true breakout game with Melvin Gordon III (hip), who is questionable for Week 6 against the Las Vegas Raiders, dealing with nagging injuries in recent weeks. Williams has gains of 31 and 49 yards, respectively, in the last two games and is […]

Teddy Bridgewater - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Denver Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater and the offense will be looking to carry over their fourth-quarter success in the loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers into a Week 6 meeting with the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders.

Seahawks Defense Is Interesting In Week 6

The Seattle Seahawks defense has been inconsistent all season, but they have interesting upside in Week 6 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers offense, outside of Week 5 against the Denver Broncos when they scored more than 17 points for the first time since Week 1, has struggled to consistently put up points. The Steelers […]

Rams Defense Should Bounce Back In Week 6

This Los Angeles Rams defense has struggled to start the year after looking like one of the best units in the NFL last season, but they're in a great bounce-back spot in Week 6 against the New York Giants. After five games, the Rams D has come away with six turnovers, including five interceptions. The […]

Alex Collins - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Seattle Seahawks running back Alex Collins will be getting his second straight start in Week 6 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but we could see him struggle in this matchup.
