One interesting driver for this weekend's Jack Link's 500 at Talladega Superspeedway is AJ Allmendinger. The Kaulig Racing Chevrolets are known for their superspeedway speed in both the Cup Series and Xfinity Series, but Allmendinger doesn't have the best reputation on drafting tracks. With that being said, the numbers actually aren't too bad for Dinger at NASCAR's biggest tracks. Over his seven starts at superspeedways in the Next Gen era, AJ has posted two top-10 finishes, and he's wound up inside that mark in eight of his last 16 starts at this track type overall. The interesting part this weekend is that he qualified in 19th-place. In DFS contests, most players are going to simply overlook Allmendinger and go with some bigger names with high Place Differential upside. However, another top-10 finish will easily get AJ inside that coveted 40+ FPTS range on DraftKings on Sunday. In tournaments, it's worth being overweight on the field with Allmendinger, but nothing too excessive.--Jordan McAbee
