Ricky Stenhouse Jr. will start 35th in Sunday's YellaWood 500 at Talladega Superspeedway. Known for his superspeedway prowess, Stenhouse is always in consideration when NASCAR heads to Daytona or Talladega, but what makes him even more appealing this weekend is that he offers a ton of place differential upside. Furthermore, the JTG Daugherty star has been a real asset in DFS this season as he has appeared in the DraftKings optimal lineup eight times in 2023. Between his proven success at superspeedways, the consistency he has shown throughout this season, and the tremendous place differential he is offering this weekend, the No. 47 should be the foundation of your DFS lineups this weekend.--Adam Erhardt - RotoBaller

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. obtained a strong result from this week's Wurth 400 at Texas Motor Speedway. Beginning the race from the 34th position, Stenhouse spent the entire race quietly working through the field. By the end of the first stage, Stenhouse reached the 25th position, nine positions up from where he started. In the second stage, Stenhouse didn't make much progress and remained 25th by the end of the stage. In the final stage, Stenhouse kept his car clean and avoided all the wrecks. As a result, he cracked the top 10, reaching as high as sixth position, where he eventually finished. This was a new career-best finish for Stenhouse in his Cup career at Texas, and he is currently in the Cup Series playoffs on points.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller

As has been the case for most races this season, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. looks to be a solid place-differential play at Texas Motor Speedway on Sunday. That's because the Cup Series veteran qualified way back in 34th place for this weekend's Würth 400, and he should be able to move up significantly from that position before the race is all said and done. In nine of the 10 Cup Series events this season, Stenhouse has had positive place differential, which is very important when it comes to DFS scoring. And with Stenhouse costing only $6,200 on DraftKings this week, that makes him a cash-core option because of his upside. Stenhouse has finished 23rd, ninth, and 27th in the three Next Gen races at Texas and also ended up finishing 18th at Las Vegas earlier this year after qualifying 31st. Comparison-wise, Las Vegas is the closest track to Texas this season, and Goodyear decided on using the same tire combination for both races this year.--Jordan McAbee

The No. 47 team brought a sporty race car for Ricky Stenhouse Jr. to work with in the Food City 500 this weekend, as Stenhouse was not only the quickest car in practice on Saturday, but he also qualified second for Sunday's race. This is the best starting position that Stenhouse has ever had at Bristol Motor Speedway. Now the question becomes: Can he stay up front? Thunder Valley has been a struggle for Stenhouse of late, as he has just one finish better than 20th in his last 10 starts here. However, that one finish was a 10th-place effort back in 2023, so there's some hope for him this weekend. As far as playability in DFS tournaments, Stenhouse ($6,500 on DraftKings) is super risky because of his high likelihood for negative place-differential points. However, if the No. 47 Chevrolet can get out and lead laps early, those dominator points could soften the blow from the inevitable negative place differential. In all likelihood, it's best to stay away from Stenhouse in DFS this weekend. After qualifying, Stenhouse remarked, "It's not a surprising run, Bristol's my favorite track. We've worked on ways to find speed and it's great to see it pay off. We'll see what happens tomorrow, I feel we were good at managing tires last year."--Jordan McAbee

Ricky Stenhouse Jr.'s career pretty much lives and dies on his performances on drafting tracks now, as he is never anything more than anonymous anywhere else these days. Don't expect that to change at Darlington, where he only earned a single top-10 finish in the 2022 spring race and has never led a lap. Even in that race, he didn't run that well since his average running position was 17th, and he mostly benefited from the fact that 13 cars didn't finish -- that normally doesn't happen here. Since he's starting 28th and only costs $6,500, the case is there that he could be valuable for DFS play if you think he could back into a decent finish at all, but he would likely have to back into it due to attrition or wild strategy. It's unlikely to happen.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
