Austin Cindric probably had the best run in Sunday's Daytona 500, leading 59 laps, spending 145 laps in the top five, and posting an average running position of 5.72, each of which led the field. Although it looked like his teammate Joey Logano had the measure of him in Stage 1, Cindric took charge in Stage 2 and took the lead from Denny Hamlin at the end of regulation on the first lap of the overtime restart, which ended the race. However, he lost his chance to win when Chase Briscoe bumped Cole Custer into Hamlin. Although Cindric barely crashed at all, the slight contact he did make significantly broke his momentum and he was relegated to an eighth-place finish. Nonetheless, Cindric continues to be one of the best drafters in the NASCAR Cup Series and he is currently tied with Tyler Reddick for fourth in points.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller

Team Penske's Austin Cindric will start seventh after qualifying for the Jack Link's 500 at Talladega Superspeedway. It will be the fourth consecutive Talladega race where Cindric will have a top-10 starting position. In six previous races at the site, Cindric has two top-10 finishes, but he also led 15 or more laps in each of the last three. Through nine races so far this season, Cindric has six top-20 finishes with only two inside the top 10. This includes an eighth-place run at Daytona, where he led the most laps (59). Cindric will have speed as he is a part of arguably the fastest team at drafting tracks over the past few seasons. However, his starting position leaves little upside, making him a DFS risk only worth rostering in tournament lineups.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller

Despite only ranking 21st in points, Austin Cindric has looked consistently faster in 2025 than any previous season, so it's certainly plausible that he could get an unexpectedly strong result. However, the former road-course specialist has now steadily turned into a superspeedway specialist, and short tracks are not typically his specialty. He also qualified 21st for Sunday's race, far behind Ryan Blaney but well ahead of his other teammate Joey Logano. Cindric's best Bristol finish came in last year's night race when he finished 13th, but while he seems likely to have a regression to the mean after an unlucky season to date and a 50-point penalty, this seems far more likely to occur on a superspeedway than on any short track where he still lacks speed. He will probably finish around where he starts, and therefore has little DFS value.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller

Team Penske's Austin Cindric nabbed a starting position of sixth after qualifying for Sunday's Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway. Cindric was the top qualifier of the three Penske entries for this week's race. In six starts at Darlington, Cindic has five top-20 finishes, but none inside the top 10, and he did score positive Place Differential three times. Through seven races so far this season, Cindric has two top-10 finishes and only once has scored positive PD. In practice, Cindric ranked fifth in overall lap averages, third in five consecutive, sixth in 10 consecutive, and fourth in 15 consecutive lap averages. Despite great practice speeds, Cindric is a risk who provides low upside with a track history that shows that he may not stay inside the top 10. Fantasy players should use Cindric mainly as a pivot option in tournament lineups for Sunday.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller

Austin Cindric qualified 20th for Sunday's Martinsville race. Although he seems to be starting to become something of a weekly threat, Martinsville will probably be an exception to that. He did actually finish fourth in last fall's race, but unlike his No. 2 car predecessors Rusty Wallace, Kurt Busch, and Brad Keselowski, short tracks have hardly been his best discipline. That race was his only top-five finish on a short track, although his other top-10 showing also came here in 2023. It's certainly possible that his uptick in speed that we have seen elsewhere will show up here, but his current statistical record at the track suggests it probably won't, therefore he isn't likely one of the best DFS options.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
