Nobody has been as dominant over the last four races at Talladega as Team Penske's Joey Logano. The No. 22 team has posted the highest driver rating, three top-five finishes, and a victory across that span with the lone finish outside the top 10 being an eleventh place showing. In addition, Logano's superspeedway prowess was on display already this year in the Daytona 500, where he was running second before a wreck ended his day. The wreck serves as a warning to the inherent danger that comes with pack-racing, but it is encouraging to see the top-tier form on display in 2020. Logano is going to cost fantasy players a premium, but this is as good a week as any to invest in the highest-priced driver in DFS.--Ryan Devine

Team Penske's Joey Logano will start third for the Jack Link's 500 at Talladega Superspeedway. This marks the fifth consecutive race where Logano has a top-10 starting position at the site. In 32 starts at Talladega, Logano has three wins, 11 top-10 finishes, and 509 laps led, which is the most of all active drivers in the field. With nine races completed so far this season, Logano has one top-10 finish, despite leading multiple laps in five different events. Logano will likely find his way to the front at some point and lead laps based on his overall speed in the past at drafting tracks. However, Joey has yet to finish inside the top 10 with the Next-Gen car at Talladega. DFS players should only consider rostering Logano for tournament games, but even then, he is a massive Place Differential risk and should not be rostered due to his finishing history at Talladega.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller

Joey Logano has had a pretty baffling season as he ranks third in laps led this year and ninth in points despite only posting a single top-10 finish. He's had numerous unforced errors that usually resulted in finishes just outside the top 10, and he made another one on Saturday in Bristol qualifying, where he hit the wall and had a half-spin that resulted in a 38th-place starting position, his worst since 2017. Whenever a champion with speed qualifies that poorly, you almost have to jump on that for DFS place-differential points, but despite winning two races at Bristol, Logano has also failed to finish in the top 10 in his last eight Bristol starts and has finished worse than his starting position in each one, which is similar to his trend this season. In a race where other typical contenders like William Byron, Chris Buescher, Chase Elliott, and Ross Chastain qualified poorly, some of them may be better place-differential options.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller

Joey Logano finally got his first top-10 finish of the season last week at Martinsville, the latest a defending champion has posted their first top-10 result. He looks to make that two in a row at Darlington, but his 18th-place starting position is actually his second-worst starting position here, behind only his 23rd starting spot in last year's Southern 500. Despite his inconsistency in results, he does seem to have more consistent speed than he did in last year's title season, so he will likely have top-10 speed if nothing bad happens. However, Darlington isn't one of his best tracks. His only win came in the 2022 spring race after he roughed William Byron up to win, and 171 of his career 293 laps led here happened that year, and he has never led or really contended since. While he could get a lot of place-differential points, he primarily seems to be overvalued in terms of DFS salary at $9,300.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller

Joey Logano of Team Penske finished eighth after a hard-fought, topsy-turvy day at Martinsville Speedway. Starting from the seventh position, Logano ran in the top 10 through the first stage until his first pit stop on lap 33. Logano had fresher tires and then spent the rest of the stage working through the field until he got to the lead. Logano won the first stage and collected major stage points as a result. In the second stage, Logano pitted and restarted from the rear of the field. The No. 22 Ford driver spent the stage trying to rally back into the top 10 but fell short; he ranked 12th and failed to obtain more stage points at the end of the second stage. In the final stage, Logano continued to make up ground until he spun on lap 317 due to Chase Briscoe hopping a curb on the track and spinning him out. Logano took fresh tires on the ensuing caution and spent the rest of the time recovering to the eighth position for his first top-10 finish of the season.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller
