If Brad Keselowski is going to make the Playoffs this season, it's looking more and more likely that he's going to have to win a race to get in. After nine races completed this season, Keselowski sits in 31st-place and 68 points below the current cut line. He has yet to finish inside the top-10 this year. Everything could turn around at Talladega Superspeedway this weekend, though, as this is one of Brad's best tracks on the NASCAR schedule. He's a six-time winner at Talladega and has finished inside the top 10 in half of his 32 career starts here. With that extremely impressive résumé, Keselowski is always a popular DFS option when the NASCAR Cup Series stops at this track. This weekend, he qualified back in 22nd-place for the Jack Link's 500, which means his ownership percentage should go up even more on Sunday. There's a strategy play at being underweight on Keselowski compared to other DFS players this weekend, but can you really go against a driver that has won at this particular track six different times?

Unlike his contemporary Kyle Busch whose speed at Bristol markedly declined after he switched from Joe Gibbs Racing to Richard Childress Racing, Brad Keselowski has retained a lot of his speed there even after switching from Team Penske to RFK Racing. The three-time Bristol winner led 109 laps in the 2022 Bristol Night Race, the first with the Next Gen chassis and he probably would have won had he not blown a tire, then added an eighth and a third in his next two starts but was surprisingly lackluster last time, which eliminated him from the playoffs. The main issue is that Keselowski (who starts 16th today) has run terribly all season since replacing crew chief Matt McCall with Jeremy Bullins; he hasn't had an average running position better than 20th yet. On paper, Keselowski seems like one of the best options for DFS especially at $7,800, but his poor season performance suggests he likely won't have any speed.

It has been a rough start to the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season for Brad Keselowski and the No. 6 team. Through the first seven races of the year, Keselowski has zero top-10 finishes and only two results better than 26th. Could that change this weekend at Darlington Raceway, though? You have to think there's a decent chance. Darlington is one of Keselowski's best tracks on the schedule, as he is the defending spring race winner at this track and has finished seventh or better in four of the last five races here. The exception? A 14th-place result last fall. Not too shabby. This weekend, BK qualified 20th for Sunday's Goodyear 400 and looked pretty strong in practice, ranking second-fastest when it came to 15-lap average. When asked about the rough start to his season, Keselowski mentioned, "I feel like we're doing all the right things and get to where we need to be, we just haven't gotten the results." Maybe this is the weekend he finally gets the finish he deserves. Keselowski is priced at $8,000 on DraftKings this weekend and his Place Differential upside as well as his strong track history makes him a viable DFS option in all formats on Sunday.

Brad Keselowski sits 30th in points and right now stands as 2025's biggest disappointment, as he has no top-10 finishes and two crashes and he hasn't even seriously contended anywhere with a best average running position this year of 20th in a year when Keselowski's teammate Chris Buescher has earned four top-10 finishes. These trends continued at Martinsville, where Keselowski qualified 27th to Buescher's sixth, even though Keselowski is historically great here and Buescher has never shown much. Although both of Keselowski's wins in 2017 and 2019 came with the Gen 6 car and he hadn't done much with the Next Gen at Martinsville, that all changed in last year's fall race when he led a race-high 170 laps despite only finishing ninth. But that came with his old crew chief Matt McCall, who was replaced with Jeremy Bullins this year. Based on that race, Keselowski should be good for a ton of place-differential points on paper for DFS, but it's a big risk since he's hardly had any speed anywhere all year.
