Joey Logano and his No. 22 Ford have been surprisingly slow at Texas Motor Speedway this weekend. In practice on Saturday morning, Logano ended up 31st-fastest out of 38 cars, and then in qualifying he was only able to muster the 27th-fastest lap, meaning he will start on the inside of row 14 when the Würth 400 goes green on Sunday. While this means Logano will have solid Place Differential upside for DFS players to consider, you have to wonder what his true upside is this weekend. Logano finished second here at Texas back in 2022, but the last two years haven't been as kind to the Cup Series Champion, as he ended up 21st in 2023 and 11th last year. On a positive note, the No. 22 Ford looked solid on the long runs in practice, as Joey ranked ninth-best in 20-lap average during the session. Earlier this season,, Logano finished 15th at Las Vegas, 14th at Homestead, and 13th at Darlington--which are all intermediate tracks like Texas, but not super similar. At $9,500 on DraftKings, the Place Differential upside is definitely there for Logano, but he is by no means a slam-dunk DFS option on Sunday. If he's only able to muster a teens finish in the Würth 400, it may be better to pivot to other fantasy options that could give you more value upside. With that being said, it's still a good idea to have some Logano exposure with your lineups.--Jordan McAbee
