Ryan Blaney is the obvious place-differential DFS pick for this weekend's race at Kansas Speedway. In practice on Saturday afternoon, the No. 12 Ford blew a tire, which sent Blaney hard into the wall, causing the Team Penske group to pull out the backup car for the race on Sunday. Blaney didn't even attempt a lap in qualifying, which means he will start from dead last for Sunday's Hollywood Casino 400, giving him sky-high Place Differential upside for the race. Blaney is typically very strong at Kansas, as he has walked away with top-five finishes in the last two races at this track. He also has a third-place finish at Texas earlier this season (another low-wear, 1.5-mile track) and had one of the best cars at Las Vegas back in March before wrecking out. Vegas, by the way, is the sister track of Kansas. All in all, Blaney is one of the best DFS plays on the slate this weekend (even at his hefty $10,700 salary on DraftKings) due to the Place Differential upside.--Jordan McAbee
