Chris Buescher A Sneaky DFS Play at Phoenix
8 months agoChris Buescher won't be the most popular pick on DraftKings this weekend, but he deserves your consideration when building your lineup for Phoenix. In the three NextGen races at this track, Buescher has posted two top-10 finishes, including a fifth-place finish here last fall. Buescher's No. 17 Ford was arguably the second-fastest car in that race and he led 16 laps while winning Stage 2 as well. This weekend, Buescher qualified 14th for the Shriners Children's 500, so there is some place differential upside there--but is he worth the $8,300 price tag on DraftKings? He will likely need a similar result as last fall to end up in the optimal lineup this weekend, and the No. 17 Ford didn't show as much speed in practice, and Buescher was just 10th-fastest in 15-lap average during practice. Still, there is definitely potential there, as Buescher won at Richmond last season--another short, flat track.
