Every time the NASCAR Cup Series heads to Darlington Raceway, fantasy managers need to keep an eye on Erik Jones. In 15 career starts at the track, Jones has collected two victories and eight top-10 finishes, all while posting an average result of 13.5. Of course, many of those good results came when he was in better equipment, as Jones was at his best at Darlington while he was still with Joe Gibbs Racing. However, Legacy Motor Club -- the current organization he drives for -- has steadily been improving, and over the last four Darlington races, Jones has been able to post finishes of 17th, 24th, 19th, and 10th. This weekend, the No. 43 Toyota looked to have some speed during practice, and then in qualifying, Jones ended up 19th-best (his best qualifying effort here since his victory in 2022). At $7,000 on DraftKings, Jones is definitely worth a roll of the dice in tournament situations.--Jordan McAbee
