Xfinity DFS Lineup Picks - DraftKings

Be sure to also check out all of our other weekly NASCAR DFS articles and analysis to help you set your optimal DFS lineups on DraftKings and FanDuel. 

Austin Cindric #22 ($10,900) - Starting 2nd

Looking for someone who can lead a bunch of laps, win the race, and give you your DFS points that way? Look no further than Cindric, who starts on the front row with Noah Gragson. The winner of five races this season, Cindric notably won back-to-back races at Kentucky, one of these 1.5-milers, earlier in the season, leading 171 of the 336 laps in the two races, and followed that up by winning a third consecutive race by winning at Texas, also an intermediate track.

Oh, and he was second when we were at Kansas last, which was actually the only time during a six-race span where Cindric didn't win this year. That second place finish saw him lead 131 laps. Yes, he hasn't been running quite as strong as of late, but he's still a top play and a favorite to win.

 

Harrison Burton #20 ($10,200) - Starting 18th

Burton starts way back in 18th, so there's a lot of place differential upside here for this 20 team. He was third in the first Kansas race, leading eight laps.

But even if he hadn't run well here last race, Burton would still be a great play. He's a Joe Gibbs driver starting this far back. He has the speed to be a top five car, and barring any issues on-track, should be able to come away with at least a top 10 result. Get Burton into your lineups.

 

Anthony Alfredo #21 ($9,500) - Starting 25th

Another good car with place differential upside, Alfredo starts deeper than Burton and is cheaper, making him another must-play. He's got eight top 10s in the series this year across his 17 starts, and at these 1.5-mile cookie cutter tracks, Alfredo has four of those top 10s in just five starts.

This type of track is a good one for Alfredo, who should be expected to contend for a top 10. He's showing this season why he deserves a full-time shot in this car, and he should be on track today to show why he deserves a spot in your DFS lineup.

 

Brett Moffitt #02 ($7,900) - Starting 27th

Was stuck between Austin Hill and Brett Moffit at this price point and don't really think you can go wrong with either, but I'm just slighty more confident in Moffitt this week. He had a DNF at the last Kansas race, but was 14th recently at Vegas, a comparable track, and two of his six top 10s this year come at intermediate tracks.

Moffitt's Our Motorsports car has top 20 upside and, I think, a higher floor (not counting wrecks or mechanical issues) than the car Hill is in has. But again, both are great mid-priced upside plays, so I'd try to have solid exposure to both of them if I'm running multiple lineups.

 

Jesse Little #15 ($6,000) - Starting 30th

Consecutive DNFs hurt, but Little has had top 25 upside most weeks and has snuck even higher than that on occasion.

I was initially worried last week when he moved to the 15 car, because I always think of the 4 as the lead JD Motorsports team, but Colby Howard had some good runs recently in this car when he wasn't wrecking, and Ryan Vargas got a 25th out of it at Kansas. I still think Little is a slightly worse play than usual when he drives this car, but the pickings are slim this far down the pricing list, and if you want to fit multiple 10K drivers in your lineup, you've got to take some risks.

 

Josh Reaume #47 ($5,200) - Starting 36th

Let's get even riskier!

Reaume starts at the tail end of the field for his first Xfinity start since 2018. He has...not been good, with an average finish of 34.2.

But the 47 car is better than what Reaume is used to driving. This year, the car has placed as high as eighth at Kentucky, showing decent speed on intermediate tracks but also a lot of equipment-related bad luck.

If this car finishes the race, I'd guess Reaume gains around 10 spots and finishes 26th. The place differential upside there would make for a fine day as your cheapest play, though Mike Harmon cars always run the risk of just, like, breaking into a million pieces on lap 26 or something.
