Michael McDowell is on the pole for the Enjoy Illinois 300 at World Wide Technology Raceway (otherwise known as Gateway) this weekend. Front Row Motorsports has definitely improved its qualifying efforts this season, as McDowell now has three poles on the year after previously going 0-for-465 since joining the NASCAR Cup Series. Now DFS players are faced with a pivotal decision on Sunday, though: do you roster Michael McDowell? He only costs $6,500 on DraftKings, so it won't take a lot for McDowell to hit value on that DFS site. However, the risk is definitely there, because the No. 34 Ford could definitely fall back immediately from the start and miss out on dominator/laps lap FPTS. In last year's race at Gateway, McDowell finished ninth, and he should be able to contend for a top-10 result this weekend as well. Don't avoid him like the plague in DFS, but be smart with how you build lineups with McDowell in them on Sunday.--Jordan McAbee
