Kyle Busch will roll off the starting grid from 21st in this weekend's Pennzoil 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, immediately making him an attractive option for DFS players due to his place differential upside. Add in Busch's track record here at Las Vegas and we may be looking at a slam dunk. Rowdy has finished fourth or better in five of his last six starts at his home race track, including a third-place finish here last fall. The No. 8 Chevrolet also looked stout in practice on Saturday, ranked 6th-fastest in both 15- and 20-lap average. At Las Vegas and Kansas specifically last season, Busch was ninth-best when it came to Average Running Position despite having the 16th-best average starting position. If Kyle Busch can replicate his recent Las Vegas performances, he's going to be a great DFS pick this weekend, even with his somewhat-high $9,700 salary on DraftKings.--Jordan McAbee

Despite spinning out on his second qualifying lap on Saturday, Kyle Busch qualified 15th at Bristol. He is one of the track's all-time greats with eight wins and 2,598 laps led, but he has fallen on hard times since his arrival at Richard Childress Racing. Although Busch still frequently has speed on superspeedways and road courses at RCR, the team has generally been very lacking in short-track speed -- with Austin Dillon's grotesque win at Richmond serving as a rare exception. In his last five starts, Busch has only led five laps with a best finish of 20th, and he hasn't even run well, as his best average running position with this car is 19th. One would have to except Busch will figure out Bristol setups at some point and have another good run again, but until it actually happens, it's likely too big of a gamble to make.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller

The last time the NASCAR Cup Series raced at Darlington Raceway, Kyle Busch was very close to victory lane, ultimately finishing as the runner-up to race-winner Chase Briscoe when the checkered flag flew. The winless weekends continue to pile up for Busch now, as his streak of Cup Series races without a victory now stands at 64. But could that change this weekend? The No. 8 Chevrolet looks to have pretty good speed once again, as Busch ranked third-fastest in 30-lap average during Goodyear 400 practice on Saturday behind Ryan Blaney and Ryan Preece. When it came to tire fall-off, Busch's times were the only ones close to race-favorite Kyle Larson's. When this weekend's Goodyear 400 goes green on Sunday, Rowdy will start from eighth and should be a strong top-10 contender. With the right strategy and in-race adjustments, we could just see him challenge for a win for the first time in nearly two years. When it comes to DFS, Kyle Busch ($8,800 on DraftKings) is a tournament option that has high-risk, high-reward possibilities.--Jordan McAbee

It took Kyle Busch seemingly forever to finally win his two Martinsville races in 2016 and 2017, but although he managed a remarkable eight straight top-five finishes (including those wins), he hasn't been so hot lately, especially with the Next Gen chassis. In the last 12 races, Busch has only led five laps at Martinsville, with those coming in the 2020 fall race where Kevin Harvick's spinout of him backfired. In the last five races, he has finished 16th or worse, and he hasn't even had any speed -- even his average running positions have never been better than 16th. Busch seems to have recovered from last year, so one can expect some level of regression to the mean, but Austin Dillon's Richmond robbery aside, Richard Childress Racing hasn't seemed to have enough speed on short tracks to contend, and Busch is only starting 12th. He probably won't contend, but don't be shocked if he does.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller

Kyle Busch will start 22nd for this week's Straight Talk Wireless 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway after qualifying. This will be the lowest starting position of the season for the No. 8 Chevrolet driver after five races. In 20 starts at Homestead, Busch has 14 top-20 finishes, including nine of the past 10 Cup events at the site. In five races completed this year, Busch has three top-10 finishes while gaining positive Place Differential twice. In practice, Busch ranked 27th in overall lap averages while not showing much speed at all in all other categories. Busch's track history at Homestead makes him worth consideration for all DFS formats, especially with his below-average starting position providing upside. However, Busch works best as a pivot play, considering his practice speeds this week.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller
