Josh Berry of Wood Brothers Racing will start in the seventh position for this week's Wurth 400 at Texas Motor Speedway. This will be Berry's sixth race overall with a top-10 starting position for the 2025 season. Berry did score a DNF due to a crash in his only previous Cup start at Texas, and he has two top-10 finishes in four Xfinity Series races at the site. After 10 races so far this year, Berry has one win and four top-20 finishes with an average finish of 21.6. In practice for Sunday's race, Berry ranked 20th in overall lap averages and ranked among the top 10 fastest in the 25 and 30 consecutive lap average categories. Despite his fast long run speeds, Berry is a huge DFS risk based on his starting position, providing little upside. The No. 21 Ford driver should only be considered for tournaments as a result this week.

Josh Berry of Wood Brothers Racing will start eighth for the Jack Link's 500 at Talladega Superspeedway. This starting position is a new career-best as well as his first top-10 starting spot for Berry at Talladega. In two past starts at the Alabama track, Berry has a best finish of 16th, which he obtained in this exact race one year ago. With nine races completed this season, Berry has one win and two top-10 finishes. As Berry will start in the eighth position, he has little upside from his starting position, making him a driver to avoid in DFS overall, especially as his history at drafting tracks has not been great.

After back-to-back bad finishes at Martinsville and Darlington, plenty of people may be overlooking Josh Berry this weekend at Bristol Motor Speedway, but that's not the smart thing to do. In the spring Bristol race last season, Berry started second and finished 12th (leading 25 laps along the way) while driving for Stewart-Haas Racing, and now he (arguably) has some better equipment to work with in the No. 21 Ford for Wood Brothers Racing. This weekend, Berry qualified 11th and ranked 14th-best in practice when it came to 25-lap average. In terms of single-lap speed, the No. 21 Ford ranked 36th out of 39 cars, but that slow time could have been due to traffic on the race track during Josh's opening laps. On DraftKings this weekend, Berry is priced at $7,700 and is a somewhat-risky tournament play. With his upside, he makes a decent pivot in his price range off of some of the more popular drivers this weekend.

Look for Josh Berry to move up once the green flag waves on the Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway on Sunday afternoon. The Wood Brothers Racing driver had one of the fastest cars during practice on Saturday afternoon--Berry actually posted the second-fastest lap in the session--but the No. 21 Ford wasn't able to back up that speed in qualifying. In terms of 15-lap average, Berry ranked fastest in that category, so his long-run speed looked strong as well. Last season at "The Lady in Black," Berry posted a legitimate third-place finish in the spring before ending up a disappointing 31st in the fall after a wreck. With that being said, he had top-10 speed in the fall, too. As far as DFS goes this weekend, Josh Berry (priced at $7,800 on DraftKings) is a strong daily fantasy option to work with and is a viable option in all fantasy formats on Sunday.
