Keep Tyler Reddick on your list of contenders for Sunday afternoon's AdventHealth 400 at Kansas Speedway. The No. 45 Toyota has been one of the fastest cars on intermediate tracks this season, as the 23XI Racing driver is averaging 29 fastest laps per race between Las Vegas and Texas this season. At Kansas specifically, Reddick is averaging 14.75 fastest laps per race over the last four. Finish-wise, Reddick had a rough couple of results last season (20th and 25th) but in 2023 he won the second race here at Kansas and finished ninth in the first event after leading 23 laps. For this weekend's race, Reddick qualified fourth, so he will have great track position to start out with on Sunday. However, this severely limits his Place Differential upside. Therefore, if Reddick is going to be a good pick in DFS at his $10,000 salary on DraftKings, he's going to need to lead laps. He's certainly capable of that.

23XI Racing's Tyler Reddick will start in the 17th position for Sunday's Wurth 400 at Texas Motor Speedway. Reddick's starting position for this week's race is the lowest of his Cup career at the site since 2020. In six races at Texas, Reddick has been one of the top drivers with one win, four top-10 finishes and an average finish of 9.3, which ranks second-best of active drivers. In 10 races finished so far this season, Reddick has four top-10 finishes with an average finish of 12.6, while earning positive Place Differential five times, including each of the last three Cup events. In practice, Reddick ranked 31st in overall lap averages, but ranked as high as fifth in 10 consecutive lap averages. Considering how Texas is one of Reddick's better tracks and how he has high upside, fantasy players should highly consider rostering the driver of the No. 45 Toyota in all formats this week.

Tyler Reddick is last year's defending winner at Talladega, but he kind of backed into it as the crash that eliminated most of his fellow Toyotas after they had pitted but before anyone else had allowed Reddick to take the lead on the restart in a boxed-in 2X2 formation alongside Michael McDowell, who crashed coming to the checkered flag. While that's part of the game, it does suggest that Reddick isn't as strong a drafter as his results imply, but he's good at avoiding wrecks (as was also proved in the Daytona 500 where he finished second after running much worse because he missed the last lap Big One). His crash avoidance means he may stand a strong chance of gaining a lot of positions, but since there tend to be fewer crashes at Talladega than Daytona, he becomes less valuable. In a year when his 23XI Racing teammate Bubba Wallace is nearly matching him in speed, Wallace is a better option since he is better on this track type to begin with.

Tyler Reddick of 23XI Racing will start in the 27th position for Sunday's Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway. Reddick has the lowest starting position of the three 23XI drivers for this week's race. In seven Cup starts at Bristol, Reddick has four top-20 finishes and only obtained positive place differential twice. Through eight races so far this season, Reddick has seven top-20 finishes and an average finish of 11.8. In practice, Reddick ranked 15th in overall lap averages while displaying top-15 speeds in the 15, 20, 25, and 30 consecutive lap average categories. Overall, Reddick is one of the more favorable DFS options available in the mid-tier range for this week's race who is capable of placing in the top 20, especially with how solid his overall performance has been in 2025, regardless of track type.
