Austin Cindric showed in the Xfinity series how good he can be at Daytona. At last year's Daytona 500, a top ten finish looked very likely -- before the last lap wreck, that was as massive as the Lap 14 wreck. Cindric still finished in 15th after starting 39th, and it showed the strength of Team Penske and the Ford. Now, last year's race featured a rain delay which can be common. The thought process with the Next-Gen car even is this -- the Ford and Cindric's Penske should run better as the race goes along. That is the theory anyway. Cindric finished second in the duels and is one with some DFS value heading into Sunday.--Chris Wassel - RotoBaller

Last week's winner, Austin Cindric, could end up having another strong run in this weekend's Würth 400 at Texas Motor Speedway. The No. 2 Ford has been fast since the team unloaded it this weekend, as Cindric had the best 10-, 15-, 20-, and 25-lap averages during practice on Saturday morning. Additionally, he posted the third-fastest lap in qualifying later that day, which means he'll roll off the starting grid from row two when the race goes green on Sunday. Cindric's track record at Texas isn't very good, though. In three career starts at the track, he has yet to finish better than 15th, and he wound up in 25th-place last season after an eighth-place starting spot. However, there is upside here. If you remember back to the Las Vegas race earlier this year, Cindric was one of the strongest cars all day, leading 47 of the 267 laps and walking away with a sixth-place finish after starting third. Considering he has the track position to start with again this weekend, we could see a similar performance out of the Team Penske driver. He's a very risky play in DFS for Texas, but at $7,200 on DraftKings, it's worth rolling the dice on Cindric in tournament-style formats considering his outside dominator potential on Sunday.--Jordan McAbee

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
