Welcome to TimersSports
Daytona Recap: Welp last week could've went better , but overall across the boards , we had a pretty good week. Just probably could have been better if Matt Kenseth and Landon Cassill didn't have poor finishes. Its helped that several other drivers got into trouble on Sunday. But that Daytona for ya , I picked the drivers who I thought would have the best value heading in. On plus side , Bobby Labonte was a terrific play in fantasy live. Lets move on to Atlanta and try to rebound.
Atlanta Look ahead: I been to the past 10 Atlanta races and one thing I have learned is that rain almost always a factor for the weekend on track activities. That's no different for this weekend race. Atlanta is a 1.5 mile worn out surface , its is the fastest among the 1.5 milers. Usually a good lineup will consist of elite options and legit sleepers in Yahoo. For Fantasy Live , you want your drivers to start up front. But wouldn't be against using few drivers who have poor starting position. Especially if your league rewards position differential.
Yahoo Picks-
A:
Start: Jeff Gordon (9)
Bench: Kevin Harvick (9)
Reason - When comes down to it , who do I trust more? Gordon or Harvick? I trust Gordon to deliver. Harvick changing a engine scared me away , plus I want max point out of Harvick. I don't see him going from last to first and leading the most laps. Therefore Gordon over Harvick.
B:
Start: Kyle Larson (9) , Kasey Kahne (9)
Bench: Jamie McMurray (9) , Carl Edwards (9)
Reason - Tough decisions had to be made in this grouping. I decided to go with Larson and Kahne! Why? Pretty simple. I don't 100% trust Edwards , with it being his first real race for JGR. And Jamie McMurray I think will do well , but I am a little iffy of him. Mainly because he haven't earned my trust.
C:
Start: David Ragan (9)
Bench: Regan Smith
Reason - Pretty easy here. Ragan been better all week/weekend than Smith. I see no reason to use Smith in Yahoo.
Fantasy Live - 48,22,41,4 and 18
Sleeper Pick - Jamie McMurray
Race Winner - Denny Hamlin
