2014 Reap: Newman was pretty consistent in 2014. His impressive stats tell the story. Newman since leaving Penske been more a consistent individual then a race winning contender. And 2014 was no different. He had 32 Top 20s in 36 starts. Crazy good I will tell you what. Even more impressive he finished 2nd in points without winning a win. He proved no points system is flawless. The fans need to acceptable it and embrace it. Newman had a good year.
Strong tracks: Pocono , Michigan , Chicago and Richmond
Weak tracks: Kansas and Watkins Glenn
Additional info on Newman: For us fantasy folks who played in the pre-chase era , we saw a great decline in production when he left Penske racing. But the void was filled by a more consistent outlook by Newman. Something which I find to be rather smoothing honestly from a fantasy vantage point.
Yahoo Grouping Prediction: A Grouping Tier
Overall Value Prediction: Consistent with mix of upside/predictable outlook
2015 Fantasy Outlook: Newman in 2015 should remain consistent unless something dramatically changes. His fantasy value will like be attached to his consistent finishes. Most leagues formats his value is questionable early in the year due how he finished 2014 off. Especially in salary cap. By second Daytona , look for his price to be more realistic to his overall value. Also feel like Newman will be useless in Yahoo. Mainly because he will most likely be promoted to A. Like Kasey Kahne and Clint Bowyer , I believe Newman isn't an A grouping tier caliber driver.
