Chez Reavie Might Struggle at the British Open

Though Chez Reavie had a nice top-20 finish this weekend at the John Deere Classic, the Open and links golf is a different challenge. The only thing Reavie can excel at which will help is driving accuracy. He ranks fourth on tour at 72.9%. Reavie will have to hit greens early and putt well. That […]

Paul Casey May Be One English Look to for Hope at British Open

Paul Casey carries some value at 30 to 1 and has contended in his last two majors with a top-5 and top-10 (PGA Championship and US Open). Casey has played well enough to win but again some missed shots and a faulty putter kept him from winning the PGA in particular. Casey has one of […]

Tommy Fleetwood Looking to Bounce Back at British Open

Tommy Fleetwood never really got the putter going at the US Open and it cost him a good finish. He did play the weekend and wound up 50th at +8. However, a bunch of missed putts hurt what was a pretty good ball-striking weekend. Fleetwood must putt better and maybe being close to home will […]

Bryson DeChambeau One to Stay Away From at British Open

Bryson DeChambeau is not even among the favorites this week in a golf tournament. Part of that is because "The Open" and DeChambeau have never quite mixed. He fared poorly two years ago and expectations are not that high this year. Since the Arnold Palmer tournament, the golfer has just one top-ten finish. His FedEx […]

Rory McIlroy One of the Favorites at the British Open

Rory McIlroy is coming in third or fourth in most oddsmaker books this weekend at the British Open. 15 to 1 odds is reasonable under the circumstances. He hits the ball further than most everyone at just over 318 yards a drive. His tee-to-green game is still one of the best in the world. McIlroy's […]

Billy Horschel A Risky Choice at the British Open

Billy Horschel has not played in four weeks. The last tournament was the US Open where he missed the cut after a 74-75. He barely made the cut at The Memorial then blew up with an 82-73 weekend. It might be a short stay for Horschel across the pond if he keeps hitting errant shots […]

Ryan Blaney Enjoys Atlanta Again

Ryan Blaney did it again at the Quaker State 400 on Sunday. He did not lead a single lap but managed a fifth-place finish anyway. Blaney did not have the greatest of starts, but he did climb eventually to 14th after Stage 1. His car was adjusted for downforce, and Blaney rose to seventh after […]

Alex Bowman Stays Near The Top All Day At Atlanta

Alex Bowman was as consistent as William Byron normally is on Sundays. Bowman was in the top five most of the afternoon. He was fourth after Stage 1 and third after Stage 2. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing Driver never did lead a lap but did pretty much everything else. A couple of times saw Bowman […]

Martin Truex Jr. Finishes In Third Place At Atlanta

Martin Truex Jr. struggled too often lately. On Sunday, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver showed that maybe he just has to drive. He went from lurking around the top 10 to a third-place result on Sunday. This was essential. He did accumulate three points between the first two stages. Though the No. 19 driver did […]

Kyle Busch Loses Battle of Busch Brothers at Atlanta

Kyle Busch will not be sending a Christmas card to Ross Chastain this season. Chastain of Chip Ganassi Racing blocked Busch while his elder brother, Kurt, got on by. From there, the younger Busch had to settle for second place on Sunday at the Quaker State 400. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver led 91 laps […]

Kurt Busch Wins Battle Of Busch Brothers At Atlanta

This was one of the more unexpected races of the 2021 season as Kurt Busch showed signs of contending once again. He was surprisingly leading the race early and often. The No. 1 racked-up laps led. In all, the Chevy car topped the standings for 144 laps. That included the most important one -- the […]

NASCAR DFS Prop Picks for 7/11 - PrizePicks

Hello everybody and welcome! We hit the Quaker State 400 from the Atlanta Motor Speedway course in Atlanta, Georgia this week and another edition of NASCAR DFS on PrizePicks. Now, that means our new friends over at PrizePicks have a TON of great props we can look to take advantage of. PrizePicks is a great […]

NASCAR DFS Prop Picks: Quaker State 400 - Monkey Knife Fight

Sunday afternoon features the Quaker State 400 from Atlanta, Georgia. Monkey Knife Fight has an extremely easy fantasy point system: 0.1 points for each lap led and then a set amount of points for their position (20 for 1st place, 19 for 2nd place, 18 for 3rd, and so on). Our friends at Monkey Knife Fight offer […]

Bubba Wallace Not a Bad Idea at Atlanta

For what it is worth, Bubba Wallace is gradually improving in 2021 with 23XI Racing. This has been no easy process but Wallace does have five top 20 finishes in his last five non-road races. The No. 23 even nabbed a fifth-place result during the Sunday Pocono race. That tri-oval is never an easy one […]

Erik Jones Expected to Maintain Track Position at Atlanta

Erik Jones likely will not come close to contending at Atlanta even though he has a decent record on intermediate tracks with a 13.9 average finish and one win. The problem is that does not seem to apply to Atlanta that well. He moved up one position this year in the first race (24th to […]

Kevin Harvick Still Looking for First 2021 Win at Atlanta

Kevin Harvick has not won a race in 2021. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver does have eight straight top-ten finishes on non-road courses. Harvick also has four top-tens in Atlanta including a tenth this year. He starts 21st on Sunday and represents an excellent opportunity at place differential. That is just at a minimum. The No. […]

Aric Almirola Could Have Chance to Move Up at Atlanta on Sunday

Aric Almirola is always a risk for DFS it seems this season, unfortunately. Some extraordinarily bad luck has hurt but at Atlanta, Almirola does have one top-ten finish in four races. The problem is that is just a 25% success rate. For him to have more upside, he probably has to be around tenth at […]

William Byron Place Differential Very Real For Sunday at Atlanta

The other question could be whether William Byron can contend. However, starting 19th on Sunday immensely helps for place differential alone. He will likely move into the top ten fairly quickly. One thing for the Hendricks Motorsports Racing driver will be not to crash into his teammate. Byron wound up finishing 33rd after starting from […]

Chris Buescher Might Inch Up on Sunday at Atlanta

Chris Buescher starts 18th on Sunday at Atlanta. The first race in 2021 saw him start 17th and finish seventh. Conventional wisdom says that alone is worth a closer look. The problem is that the Roush Fenway Racing driver since Kansas and Darlington (8th and 9th) cannot seem to put two races together. Worse, the […]

Alex Bowman Has Good DFS Upside at Atlanta

Alex Bowman has a way of just showing up out of nowhere to do well at races like Atlanta. He started 14th in the first race and contended until very late finishing third. It is more than just that result, however. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver won the Saturday race at Pocono thanks to a […]

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Risky Option at Atlanta

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. can be a case of frustration for DFS players. The JTG Daugherty Racing driver does not lead laps often and has three DNF's in his last ten races. That raises some concerns. He did finish 12th at Wisconsin last week but that was on a road course. The last time at Atlanta, […]

Ryan Blaney Won Once in Atlanta, Can He Do it Again?

Ryan Blaney surprised many early in the season as he snuck up and stole a win in Atlanta for Team Penske. He started from the tenth position and did lead 25 laps. That afternoon his car had long runs cornered but could not get near the front till the end when he passed Kyle Larson […]

Brad Keselowski Not That Great of a DFS Option Sunday

Brad Keselowski does have some pretty good results lately including a tenth and third at Pocono in June but has mostly been just outside the top ten since Kansas. Other than Darlington and Nashville, he has stayed on the lead lap but fades during longer runs. Worse, it seems like every time the Team Penske […]

Austin Dillon Consistency Should Net Decent Result at Atlanta

Austin Dillon has not finished worse than 21st since the Daytona road course way back in February. His consistency has included seven top-15 results in Dillon's last eight races. Those results by themselves are not great but again the Richard Childress Racing driver typically stays out of trouble and gains points (12th overall). He has […]

Matt DiBenedetto Expected Not to Stay Near Top Ten at Atlanta

Matt DiBenedetto starts 12th on Sunday for the Quaker State 400. How long he stays around that position is the problem. DiBenedetto and the Wood Brothers Racing team have had issues keeping the car near the front on intermediate tracks. He was in the top five for a while the last time in Atlanta but […]

Chase Briscoe Expected to Fall Back Some at Atlanta

Chase Briscoe gets a nice 11th starting position on Sunday but the Stewart-Haas Racing driver may have trouble maintaining that position. Briscoe has not performed well on high-wear tire tracks like Atlanta. He dropped into the 30's for a bit before finishing 23rd earlier this year. His starting position then was 24th but the concern […]

Joey Logano Could Hang Around Again at Atlanta

Joey Logano has a habit of just lurking around and then springing up out of almost nowhere. He has finished tenth or worse in three of his last four races but did contend for most of the Saturday Pocono race (ended up 7th leading 18 laps). The Team Penske driver has not finished worse than […]

Ross Chastain Could Surprise on Sunday at Atlanta

Ross Chastain carries some risk as performance metrics put him in the ninth position for the second Atlanta race. This was buoyed by his 14th at Atlanta (started 21st) and probably a second in Nashville and seventh last week at Wisconsin. Chastain can drive on road courses no question (three top-tens in the previous three […]

Kurt Busch Expected to Keep Momentum Rolling at Atlanta

Can Kurt Busch keep the car on the track in Atlanta? That is the question. Busch has saved his best for this latest stretch with four top-ten finishes in his last five races. That includes a fourth last week at Wisconsin, a sixth on the Saturday Pocono race, and an eighth in Nashville. Part of […]

Tyler Reddick Not As Sneaky At Atlanta But Could be Good

Tyler Reddick starts from the seventh spot on Sunday for the Quaker State 400 in Atlanta. The Richard Childress Racing driver is trending in the right direction with seven top-10 results in his last 11 races. Furthermore, he was able to maintain track position even on a road course Sunday with an eighth after starting […]
