1. Denny Hamlin ($11,300) — There’s no denying that Denny and the No. 11 JGR team are the best in NASCAR. He won last week at Dover and nearly won the intermediate-track race before that at Texas. He was the top-rated driver in both Kansas races last season.
2. Kyle Larson ($11,000) — In the last five Kansas races, Larson has four top-5 DFS scores. He scored the most points in the fall 2023 race and both 2021 races. He scored the second-most fantasy points in the 2023 spring Kansas race.
3. Tyler Reddick ($10,700) — 23XI Racing has mastered the Kansas setup. Reddick, Bubba Wallace and Kurt Busch have all won at Kansas in the NextGen car.
4. Chase Elliott ($9,800) — Dirty air limited passing at Dover. That wasn’t the case for Chase Elliott. He drove through the field and finished inside the top 5. The No. 9 Hendrick Chevy has elite speed.
5. William Byron ($10,500) — His hot streak came to an end with a wreck at Dover. It happens. It’s NASCAR. Nothing has changed for the No. 24 Hendrick Chevy team. Byron will be one of the few drivers battling to lead laps at Kansas.

6. Martin Truex Jr ($10,300) — His 2023 fall Kansas race ended abruptly with a wreck on the fourth lap. Before that race, Truex earned a top-10 driver rating in six consecutive Kansas races. He was the second-highest rated driver in the 2023 spring race.
7. Bubba Wallace ($9,500) — The 2022 fall Kansas race was a big moment for Wallace. He became bonafide. Although he had a Cup Series win, it was at Talladega and it was rain-shortened. His Kansas win proved his talent and that 23XI Racing was a top-tier team.
8. Ryan Blaney ($8,600) — Team Penske has entered the chat. Blaney scored 22 hog points (fast-lap and lap-led points) at Dover. The No. 12 Penske Ford might not be able to beat JGR and Hendrick, but it can run with them inside the top 5.
9. Ross Chastain ($9,100) — This has been a so-so season for Chastain. It’s better than his midseason slump in 2023, but he has not built upon his strong close to the 2023 season.
10. Christopher Bell ($10,000) — A month ago, Bell looked like a title contender. His JGR Toyota is fast but it’s very unlucky. Bell has finished outside of the top 30 five times in 2024.
11. Ty Gibbs ($9,300) — The future of JGR will have to wait. Gibbs is expected to develop quickly and become a championship-caliber driver. He may be developing, but the top-tier drivers ahead of him are not going to step aside.
12. Brad Keselowski ($7,700) — The RFK Fords have lacked speed in the last two intermediate-track races (Texas and Dover). Speed isn’t everything at Kansas. Good restarts and fast pit stops lead to top-5 finishes at this wide intermediate track. Chris Buescher ($7,500) and Keselowski could finish a lot better than where they run on Sunday.
13. Kyle Busch ($8,900) — The 2024 season has been a struggle, but Busch and the No. 8 RCR team took a step forward at Dover. Busch won the pole, finished inside the top 5 and recorded a top-10 day on pit road.
14. Justin Haley ($5,100) — He is no longer with Kaulig Racing but his Rick Ware Racing car is comparable. Haley has been in the optimal DraftKings NASCAR DFS lineup in three of the last four Kansas races.
15. Todd Gilliland ($5,200) — This is a disrespectful price. Gilly has a top-25 finish in all four of his Kansas races. In the last 10 races, his average finish is 22.4.
