Although Austin Dillon actually ran okay at Iowa to the surprise of many, don't expect him to do the same at Watkins Glen. Although his poor starting position of 26th and $6,100 DFS salary may be appealing on the surface, he isn't a noted road racer and he's never either finished or posted an average running position better than 15th in his ten previous starts despite finishing every race. Both his average finish of 25.8 at Watkins Glen and his average finish this season of 20.9 are poor enough that there's no reason to necessarily expect him to beat his starting position at all, particularly when considering he has finished worse than his starting position in seven of his ten Watkins Glen starts. Dillon's Watkins Glen record is so poor that he is actually likely one of the low-key worst options despite his poor qualifying position and cheap DFS salary.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
