Erik Jones Looks Faster Than in 2024, So He Could Be a Valuable DFS Option
55 seconds agoErik Jones on paper doesn't look like a valuable option for today's Atlanta race as he qualified 28th and the Toyotas seem to have substantially less speed than they did in the Daytona 500. Nonetheless, Jones remains one of the strongest drafters in the series and his near miss in the Duel race suggests he has likely made significant headway in recovering from his injury at Talladega last year so he should be a lot faster in this race. Although both of Jones's finishes were poor last year, he has an average finish of 16.3 and has never crashed out at Atlanta even in the drafting-era races, which suggests he is likely to progress through the field but probably not lead much since the Fords will dominate. He seems to be a highly valuable DFS option even if his chances of winning seem remote.
