Last week's winner, Austin Cindric, could end up having another strong run in this weekend's Würth 400 at Texas Motor Speedway. The No. 2 Ford has been fast since the team unloaded it this weekend, as Cindric had the best 10-, 15-, 20-, and 25-lap averages during practice on Saturday morning. Additionally, he posted the third-fastest lap in qualifying later that day, which means he'll roll off the starting grid from row two when the race goes green on Sunday. Cindric's track record at Texas isn't very good, though. In three career starts at the track, he has yet to finish better than 15th, and he wound up in 25th-place last season after an eighth-place starting spot. However, there is upside here. If you remember back to the Las Vegas race earlier this year, Cindric was one of the strongest cars all day, leading 47 of the 267 laps and walking away with a sixth-place finish after starting third. Considering he has the track position to start with again this weekend, we could see a similar performance out of the Team Penske driver. He's a very risky play in DFS for Texas, but at $7,200 on DraftKings, it's worth rolling the dice on Cindric in tournament-style formats considering his outside dominator potential on Sunday.--Jordan McAbee
