Welcome to TimersSports
We are at Talladega this weekend for one of the most important races of the chase! From a fantasy point of view, it like picking a needle out of a haystack. You can make all the right lineups choice and still have a bad day. This is the one race, where having the guts to set a risky lineup could paid off. This race could turn ugly at a moment notice, so it is very important to know your league's rules and scoring formats. Also I think it important to know who runs well here and who doesn't. This race may be a crapshoot, but certain drivers typically dominate up front. Alright here are today's picks!
Yahoo -
A:
Start: Dale Jr (5)
Bench: Jeff Gordon (8)
Reasons -Starting positions don't mean a thing to me at Talladega! Gordon have not fare well at this place in recent years, even though he probably will lead a lot of laps again. Only to finish somewhere in the mid-20s once everything start to unfold. Dale Jr is who I expect to win! He is the safest bet in the field and could very well end in victory lane!
B:
Start: Clint Bowyer (4), Jamie Mac (1)
Bench: Austin Dillon (7) and Paul Menard (6)
Reasons -This came down to who would the majority side with? Dillon and Menard are very fine fantasy picks, however they are mid-pack in terms of popularity. I like siding with popular drivers to minimize potential damage. Bowyer and JMac will likely make more starting lineups based on the percentages on Yahoo Fantasy Racing page. Seriously that how I set my lineup this week. Stats are overrated once we get into the race. Anyone have a shot at a quality finish. Anyone have a shot at finishing in the 30s as well.
C:
Ryan Blaney (3), Danica Patrick (2)
Reasons - Blaney have three races left on the schedule: Talladega, Texas and Homestead. I have three starts. Funny how the math works out perfectly at end of the season. So I am starting Blaney no questions asked!
Fantasy Live -88,24,78,3 and 38
Sleeper - Austin Dillon
Winner - Dale Jr
