Ty Dillon qualified 12th for this weekend's Food City 500, which marks his best starting position since the season-opening Daytona 500. It was also a bit of a surprise considering the No. 10 Chevrolet was the slowest car during practice on Saturday. And while track position is good to have at a short track like Bristol, you have to wonder if Dillon qualified too high to be playable in DFS contests this weekend. With such a high probability of negative Place Differential FPTS on Sunday, that answer is likely yes. In 11 career Cup Series starts at Bristol Motor Speedway, Ty Dillon has an average finish of 25.1. Even worse, his two starts here in the Next Gen era have ended with 33rd- and 26th-place finishes. Even if Ty was able to pull off a 20th-place finish in Thunder Valley on Sunday--which would be a great effort for the No. 10 Kaulig Racing team--he'd only score 15 base FPTS on DraftKings.

For the second straight race, Ty Dillon ($5,300 on DraftKings) is looking to be a solid cap-saving option in DFS this weekend. Last week at Martinsville, Dillon ended up finishing 15th despite starting 28th, putting up a solid 41 FPTS along the way and making the optimal lineup. This weekend, at Darlington, he qualified back in 29th and is once again one of the lowest-priced drivers on the slate. Dillon has ran four races in the Next Gen era at Darlington Raceway and owns an average finish of 22.5 over those two years. If Ty is able to stay out of trouble in the Goodyear 400 on Sunday and stay on or near the lead lap, it wouldn't be outrageous for him to post another top-20 finish this weekend. If you need to save some cap space with your DraftKings lineup on Sunday, he's a relatively safe option starting back in 29th.

Kaulig Racing's Ty Dillon will start 28th after qualifying for this week's Cook Out 400 at Martinsville Speedway. This will be the highest starting position in a Martinsville Cup race for Dillon since 2020. In 12 starts at the Virginia short track, Dillon has three top-20 finishes while scoring positive place differential 11 times. After six races so far this season, Dillon has two top-20 finishes and three finishes with positive PD earned. In practice, Dillon ranked third in overall lap averages while ranking 17th in 10 consecutive lap averages and 16th in 15 consecutive lap averages. With his starting position deep in the field, his equipment, a history of collecting positive PD, and practice speeds indicative of a top-20 finish, Dillon is a great overall value play for all DFS formats.

Don't be afraid to roster Ty Dillon on DraftKings this weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway. There are several high-priced drivers on the slate this weekend that are very good at Homestead, so you're going to need to find salary cap relief somewhere. Ty Dillon is an excellent option. Although he's not going to blaze through the field and challenge for a top-10 finish on Sunday, Ty should be able to keep his fenders clean and challenge for a mid-20s result. At just $5,200 on DraftKings, that would be an incredible value considering he qualified back in 34th for this weekend's Straight Talk Wireless 400. Ty has finished between 22nd and 28th in each of his last six races at this track. Sometimes in DFS, all you need is a reliable and cheap option to fill out a lineup. That is Ty Dillon this weekend at Homestead-Miami.
