Brad Keselowski can't catch a break. In the midst of his worst season ever in the NASCAR Cup Series, Keselowski is off to a rough start at Kansas Speedway this weekend as well, as the No. 6 Ford suffered a flat tire early in practice on Saturday, and then Brad went out and qualified 36th (out of 38 cars) afterward. For DFS players, Keselowski is once again a prime Place Differential option on DraftKings, and his $7,000 salary makes it very easy to include BK in a lineup. But can you trust him? Kez looked strong during practice before his tire issue, but that was likely aided by low tire pressures to start with. In the Next Gen era at Kansas, Keselowski hasn't been awful, but he hasn't been great, either. He does have one top-10 result (in 2023), and he wound up 11th in this race a year ago (after starting 30th), but three of the last five races at Kansas have ended with him in 19th-place or worse. The Place Differential upside is too high to fade Keselowski in DFS this weekend, but there's definitely a strategy play in being underweight to the field with the most disappointing driver this season.

Just when you think the 2025 season can't get much worse for Brad Keselowski, another race happens and another issue pops up. Despite showing top 10 speed late in the day at Texas Motor Speedway on Sunday afternoon, Keselowski got caught up in a late caution and ultimately ended up finishing in 28th-place, 15 laps behind the leader. This is Keselowski's eighth finish outside of the top 20 in the first 11 races as the Roush-Fenway Keselowski Racing driver is in the midst of his worst season ever. With his path to the playoffs getting narrower and narrower with each passing wreck, BK is likely going to need to get a win to make it into the postseason this year, which is surprising, as many pegged him as a sleeper for a Championship run in the preseason.

Brad Keselowski of RFK Racing will start in the 30th position after qualifying for Sunday's Wurth 400 at Texas Motor Speedway. Keselowski's starting position for this week's race is the lowest of his Cup career at the site since 2010. In 29 starts at Texas, Keselowski has 21 top-20 finishes with 14 inside the top 10. Through the first 10 races this season, Keselowski has three top-20 finishes with an average finish of 26.1, with his best finishing result of 11th being earned at Las Vegas, the closest comparable to Texas of the tracks the Cup Series ran in 2025. In practice, Keselowski ranked 24th in overall lap averages while showcasing top-15 speeds in the 10, 20, 25, and 30 consecutive lap average categories. With highly favorable practice speeds, fantastic track history, and plenty of upside, Keselowski is one of the top drivers of the week for DFS at $7,600 on DraftKings.

Brad Keselowski of RFK Racing had high hopes for a strong performance at Talladega Superspeedway, but ended with disappointment through a finish of 36th during Sunday's Jack Link's 500. Beginning the race from the 22nd position, Keselowski quickly made his way up through the field at the start of the first stage. The No. 6 Ford driver made it as high as the top three, but never made it to the lead. After riding with the pack for most of the first stage, the first round of pit stops came up, and Keselowski looked to pit with other Ford drivers on lap 43. Unfortunately, Kyle Busch got up to the side of Keselowski and lost control of his car, colliding with the No. 6 Ford and causing a multi-car crash. Keselowski sustained too much damage from this incident and was unable to continue, settling for a 36th-place finish, his worst result at Talladega since October 2016, when he failed to finish due to an engine failure.
