On paper, it might look like Riley Herbst might have some DFS value for today's Michigan race since his 23XI Racing teammate Tyler Reddick won here last year and his other teammate Bubba Wallace won the pole and finished second here in 2022. However, as usual, the rookie lacks speed in the NASCAR Cup Series as his only top ten finishes came on drafting tracks and he has never finished better than 14th elsewhere. Additionally, his 34th-place qualifying run is one of the worst of the season and he seems to be slower on intermediates than most other track types. He has benefited from strategy a few times on intermediates, such as when he finished 19th at Las Vegas and 14th at Texas, but he didn't actually run well in those races. Even if he does finish in the top 20 on strategy, he won't likely score enough DFS points to be worth starting.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
