Even though Ryan Preece is surprisingly running as well as his lead RFK Racing teammate Chris Buescher this year and qualified fourth for today's race at Talladega, it's very risky to start him since he is almost certain to lose positions since he averages fewer than one top five of a year. Admittedly, his first top five did come here in 2019 and he seemed to have a little speed at this track type when he was at JTG-Daugherty Racing, he's rarely seemed to have speed on drafting tracks with the Next Gen chassis. Admittedly, RFK does seem to be faster than his previous team Stewart-Haas Racing, but perhaps not that much faster since Buescher and especially Preece's boss Brad Keselowski seem a lot slower than last year. Even though Preece is in a Ford, he's extremely unlikely to have the speed he needs to dominate, making him a terrible DFS option.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
