Chase Elliott a one of the premier DFS options this weekend at Texas Motor Speedway. After a disappointing qualifying run on Saturday, NASCAR's Most Popular Driver will start from way back in 29th-place when the Würth 400 goes green on Sunday, meaning Elliott has significant Place Differential scoring upside for the race. As far as track history goes, Chase is the defending winner at Texas Motor Speedway, going to victory lane last season despite starting back in 24th-place. He also just has a knack for getting to the front at this track, as he led 44 laps in the 2022 race here, and finished sixth in both Stages during the 2023 Texas race. The cherry on top is that Elliott is under-priced on this DraftKings slate, at only $9,000. This combined with the very high Place Differential potential makes Chase one of the strongest DFS picks for the Würth 400 this weekend.

Chase Elliott had another typically quiet finish at Talladega yesterday, finishing 7th on track but being promoted to 5th after Ryan Preece and Joey Logano's disqualifications. Although his pass differential of 52 was the second-highest in the race behind only his teammate Kyle Larson, Elliott only factored for the lead a couple times and only led a single lap under caution while his teammates all looked faster. Elliott was the highest-ranked Chevy in the race a couple times, but he usually did better while in fuel-saving mode than going full rich. His comeback to fifth was nonetheless very impressive as he had a speeding penalty on a pit stop late in Stage 2 in a race where it was difficult to make passes through the pack. His inconsistency has allowed him to pass Christopher Bell for fourth in points and he sits 107 points above the cutline, but his relative lack of speed this year is still worrisome.

Chase Elliott of Hendrick Motorsports will start 30th after qualifying for Sunday's Jack Link's 500. This marks the lowest-ever Cup Series starting position for the No. 9 Chevrolet driver at the Alabama track. In 18 Cup starts in his career at Talladega, Elliott has 13 top-20 finishes, with eight inside the top 10, and two wins. Through nine races so far this year, Elliott has five top-10 finishes, an average finish of 11.6, and remains the only driver to place in the top 20 in all Cup events. Elliott has incredible upside from his starting position, and with Talladega being one of his more favorable tracks historically, he should be one of the first drivers to consider rostering in all formats this week.

Hendrick Motorsports driver Chase Elliott will start 20th for the Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway. It will be the second time ever in his Cup career that Elliott will start 20th or lower in a Cup race at Bristol. In 15 races at the site, Elliott has 12 top-20 finishes, including nine inside the top 10, and an average finish of 11.0. After eight races so far in the 2025 season, Elliott remains the only driver to place in the top 20 at the end of every race, with five top-10 finishes. In practice, Elliott ranked 18th in overall lap averages while ranking as high as eighth in 30 consecutive lap averages. Due to his great track history, favorable practice speeds, and overall upside, Elliott is worth rostering in all formats for this week's race at Bristol.
