2014 Reap: Edwards was inconsistent all season long. Never was really competitive for a entire race. Honestly not sure how he manage to get a lot of those good finishes. If you watched Edwards in 2014 , it was clear he was at best an 15th place driver most weekends. His driver rating can probably back that up too.

Strong tracks: Watkins Glenn , Michigan , Homestead and Kansas.

Weak tracks: Talladega , Martinsville and Kentucky

Yahoo Grouping Prediction: A grouping Tier

Overall Value Prediction: Consistency with high potential

2015 Fantasy Outlook: I expect good things from Edwards in 2015. Edwards is jumping from Ford to Toyota. Last driver to do that (Kenseth) did it pretty successfully. I don't see 7 wins from Edwards. But an career year could be on tap. Kinda interested how Edwards does right off the bat with a new team. I expect 2-4 wins , 12-15 Top 5s , 14-18 Top 10s in 2015.
