Ryan Preece Not Expected To Be Factor At Kansas On Sunday

Ryan Preece enjoyed a nice run at Talladega last week as he led nine laps and finished in 14th. The +15 place differential caught the eye of a few in the DFS world. However, this week he starts 12th at Kansas. Three of his first four races on the 1.5-mile track have ended poorly for […]

Tyler Reddick Has Little Positive DFS Value On Sunday At Kansas

Tyler Reddick has three top-ten finishes in his last four races but Kansas was unkind to him in 2020. He finished in 13th and 25th. Reddick did not factor much in the final laps of either race and lost track position. Last Spring's race saw him fall out of the top ten and that could […]

Cole Custer May Maintain Some Track Position Sunday At Kansas

Cole Custer finished in the top ten last week at Talladega which played a heavy part in the NASCAR metrics system this week. The result is a tenth-place start on Sunday for the Stewart-Haas Racing driver. In two races at Kansas last year, Custer finished seventh and 14th. He was able to maintain track position […]

Kyle Busch Has Some intrigue On His Side At Kansas

Christopher Bell May Not Have Much DFS Upside Sunday

Christopher Bell had some promise with a seventh in Martinsville and a fourth in Richmond two weeks ago.

Ryan Blaney Expected To Lurk Around Top Ten Sunday

Ryan Blaney tends to find a way to meander around the top ten in races and that makes him dangerous on Sunday at Kansas. He starts from the seventh position for the Buschy McBusch 400.

Austin Dillon Might Stay in Top Ten At Kansas Sunday

Matt DiBenedetto Is A Good Play At Kansas

Matt DiBenedetto keeps improving every week and now has consecutive top ten results under his belt.

Kevin Harvick Should Be One Of The Favorites At Kansas

Michael McDowell Is A Risky Pick This Week At Kansas

Michael McDowell survived all the wrecks to finish third last week at Talladega. It was his first top ten finish since Homestead in February. Based on that result and a few other metrics.

Brad Keselowski Looks To Win Again At Kansas

Broncos Finalize Third Round By Drafting Baron Browning

The Denver Broncos selected Ohio State linebacker Baron Browning with the last pick of the third round (No. 105 overall) of the 2021 NFL draft on Friday night. Browning is underrated because of his size (6-foot-3, 240 pounds), but he has prototypical size to play the Mike linebacker position as a run-stopping force. He also […]

Ravens Add To Secondary With Brandon Stephens

The Baltimore Ravens selected SMU cornerback Brandon Stephens with the No. 104 overall draft pick in the third round of the 2021 NFL draft on Friday night.

Ernest Jones Taking His Talents To Los Angeles

The Los Angeles Rams selected South Carolina linebacker Ernest Jones with the No. 103 overall pick in the third round of the 2021 NFL draft on Friday night.

49ers Draft Ambry Thomas With Third-Round Selection

The San Francisco 49ers selected Michigan cornerback Ambry Thomas with the No. 102 overall pick in the third round of the 2021 NFL draft on Friday night.

Ifeatu Melifonwu Taken By Lions In Third Round

The Detroit Lions selected Syracuse cornerback Ifeatu Melifonwu with the No. 101 overall pick in the third round of the 2021 NFL draft on Friday night.

The Tennessee Titans selected Washington cornerback Elijah Molden with the No. 100 overall pick in the third round of the 2021 NFL draft on Friday night.

Cowboys Start Cornerback Run With Nahshon Wright

The Dallas Cowboys selected Oregon State cornerback Nahshon Wright with the No. 99 overall pick in the third round of the 2021 NFL draft on Friday night.

Jesse Winker Removed From Game With Back Tightness

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jesse Winker left Friday's 8-6 win over the Chicago Cubs with back tightness. He went 1-for-4 with an RBI before being replaced in left field by Mark Payton.
