The NASCAR Xfinity Series playoffs head to the Charlotte Roval on Saturday.
The Round of 12 concludes with a potentially wild one at Charlotte. Non-playoff drivers have won both races in this round, which means that while Austin Cindric has clinched a spot in the next round, the other 11 drivers are all still competing for those other seven spots.

AJ Allmendinger #16 ($10,700)
Starting 14th
The Xfinity Series has raced here three times. Allmendinger has won two of those races.
Starting 22nd last year, the 16 car drove through the field, leading 12 laps -- with the first of those being lap 34 -- on his way to the victory.
Allmendinger is the best road course racer in this series. He comes with some nice place differential points as well this week. Sure, he's going to be chalky, but he's going to be chalky for a reason.
Ty Gibbs #54 ($10,500)
Starting 12th
Speaking of drivers going for over $10k who have roval wins in Xfinity, let's talk about Ty Gibbs.
Granted, his roval win was at Daytona, in Gibbs first-ever Xfinity Series start. He also won at Watkins Glen earlier this season -- not a roval, but a road course.
Sure, Gibbs hasn't raced here, but he's been a quick study everywhere and this 54 car has been the best team in the series by a good bit. For that reason -- and for the place differential points that he, like Allmendinger, has, you've got to get Gibbs into some lineups. And hey, maybe you pair him with Allmendinger and then focus on value guys!
Brett Moffitt #02 ($8,600)
Starting 22nd
Moffitt isn't the most exciting pick, but sometimes you need to play a solid driver who starts in the mid 20s.
38th here last year, he did drive this 02 car to an 11th at the Daytona roval earlier this season, and in the Truck Series, he has three top fives in five road course starts.
Moffitt's an underrated driver on this kind of track. He can get you a top 15, maybe even a top 10, at a solid price. Again, not an exciting play, but one that'll get things done for you.

Austin Hill #61 ($7,700)
Starting 40th
Hey, if we were looking at full season results in this 61 car, then this price for it, even with the place differential of starting last, would be too much for me.
But we're specifically looking at Austin Hill, whose average finish in three races in this car is 21.0 despite a steering bix issue at Indianapolis that knocked him from the race.
This car has finished 30th or worse in four of the last five races, but I'd guess this is a full Hattori effort. When we see those, we usually see solid things from this team, like Hill finishing ninth at Nashville or Bubba Wallace finishing 10th at Michigan.
Sage Karam #31 ($6,800)
Starting 28th
Former Indycar driver Sage Karam has been trying his hand at stock cars.
An electrical issue knocked him out of the Indy roval race, but he ran in the top 15 for 27 laps of that race, which was 45.8 percent of the race as a whole. Karam seemed to be figuring things out, and then he figured them out more at Bristol with a 16th in his first NASCAR oval race.
Look, I get that he has a lack of experience in this kind of car. But this is a guy with 17 starts in the Weathertech Sportscar Championship, so he's not foreign to driving these heavier cars. This 31 has mostly been solid all season, so I expect to see some good stuff from Karam.
Kris Wright #15 ($5,700)
Starting 38th
This is such a killer price for Kris Wright. Sure, he's in a JDM car this week instead of the 26, a better car that he has made his previous starts in, but when he starts 38th and is this cheap, you ignore that fact.
Wright has run six races this year, all at road courses. He has three DNFs, and then finishes of 17th, 18th, and 25th.
In the Truck Series, he's only run oval races, but those 14 starts are still stock car experience.
Wright has a road racing background. He has a bunch of place differential points available. If he can keep this 15 car clean, he can land a solid finish and really help you in fantasy..
