Ryan Blaney One of the Favorites to Win at Talladega
7 months agoSportsbooks have pegged Ryan Blaney as one of the favorites to win the GEICO 500 at Talladega Superspeedway this weekend, and for good reason: last year's Cup Series Champion has finished first or second in each of the last three races at this track and has led a total of 283 laps in his career there--which is the fourth-most among active drivers. Specifically at Daytona and Talladega--the two big superspeedways on the schedule--Blaney has the third-best average running position since the start of 2023 and the second-most laps led. This weekend, he qualified back in 21st for the GEICO 500, which gives Blaney solid place differential potential in DFS contests. At $11,000 on DraftKings, he is an expensive option, but the scoring upside is huge. Don't be afraid to roster Ryan Blaney this weekend--although keep in mind that he's likely to be one of the most popular picks on the slate.
