Welcome to TimersSports
We are at Dover with a very rainy weekend ahead according to Meteorologists (I know it sucks)! From a fantasy point of view, Dover is typically a fantasy friendly racetrack and we have a very good idea who will who will be strong. As the top tier grouping of drivers are in a elite class of their own! However there are sleepers mixed in the field though. These drivers don't really standout at Dover because they haven't had a breakout race yet. But they have the potential and probably are pretty obviously if you know what to look for! I usually list two busts as well, however I getting this article out very late this week. Therefore I have decided to leave out the busts portion this week. Let get started!
****No busts this week due to time consumption.
Sleepers -
Aric Almirola: I know many of you are bitter towards Aric after his epic letdown at New Hampshire. However I have found over the years that if a driver let you down one week and he have another decent track coming up the following week, then more than likely he (or she) will produce a good result! Dover is a good track for Aric so far. Earlier this season, he finished 5th. In 7 career starts, he have only finished 3 races on the lead lap here, but all have ended in 12th or better. 5 of his 7 career races have ended inside the top 19. Including two of his past three races ending inside the top 12. He isn't the most flashy fantasy option out there, but he is more attractable than most out there though.
Austin Dillon: Dillon average finish is only 26.0, so that's not very impressive. However I am looking back at May's race more than his previous three races at Dover. Back in May, he spent nearly half of the race inside the top 15 and held a 15.0 average running position! You wouldn't know that if you solely went by his final finishing position of 33rd. He ended that race -10 laps down to the race leaders when the checkers waved. He have the potential to be a solid fantasy pick, if he can stay on the lead lap as he proved back the first time around. I think he will be a top 20 finisher realistically with a chance at the top 15!
Matt Kenseth - Usually I don't list top drivers, but I made a rare exception this week though. Matt Kenseth shouldn't even be anywhere near this list, but I strongly feel like he belongs on it. Not because of lack of performance, but lack of notice. In case you haven't realized, but Matt Kenseth have finished 6 of the past 8 races inside the top 5. Not to mention 3 of them ending in wins! Yet he is overlook every week. Even at Dover, he is overlooked at one of his best tracks. It been like that all season long! Not sure why people don't understand the type of value they are passing up on. If I was deep down in my league and I saw a top-tier guy being overlooked like Kenseth is, then I would not think twice about it.
