Fantasy Nascar Picks (Phoenix)

Welcome to TimersSports


It has been a very busy week and weekend so far, therefore I had absolutely zero time to make any posts since my Early Rankings at start of the week. With that said, I wasn't able to write up my usual Fantasy Nascar Picks. I am not even going to write up a introduction paragraph as I usually try to do. Let's just dig into the Picks!

Yahoo -

A:

Start - Kevin Harvick

Bench - Kyle Busch


Reasons - I like them a lot this week, I think Busch could finish close to Harvick. However, I never been on to be a major gambler. Harvick has a unmatched record at PIR and starts from inside the top 10. If he is available to you, then you are most likely using him. If you aren't, you feel great about other options or you know something I don't. Either way, I always go with the sure thing when it is offered. Harvick is almost a lock in my books.

B:

Start - Carl Edwards and Kasey Kahne

Bench - Martin Truex Jr and Ryan Newman

Reasons - Tough week to make fantasy picks in Yahoo. Because you are down to 1 or 2 starts with all of your top picks. Then on top of that, you have make decisions to use them this week or next, if you down to 1. Carl Edwards was a easy one, as I saved two starts with him. I should had use him last week instead of Truex. It would had worked better for me. I didn't, so now I will have to deal with it. Edwards doesn't seem to have the car to beat, but I will start him because we all know he will be a top 10 contender regardless. Who to pair him with Kahne or Newman? That's tough, but I am going with the consistent one. And he is not the one you think, because his name is Kasey Kahne.

C:

Start - Chase Elliott

Bench - Ryan Blaney

Reasons - Headed into the week, I was for sure going to use Blaney here and Elliott next week. After practice, it is clear that Elliott has a great car. Better car than expected here. Elliott never made a start at Homestead, so I am going to play it safe and use him here.

Fantasy Live - 4,18,78,23 and 95

Reasons -  I am going top heavy with the likes of Harvick, Busch and Truex. I am hoping to gain a ton of positions with Truex/Busch. Hopefully that offset the poential to lead a lot of laps. Also, hopefully Harvick leads some laps as well. If so, I am in great shape. Ragan and McDowell are both for value prices. Both should move up in the race, both has ran well on this type of track

Sleeper - Ricky Stenhouse Jr

Winner - Kevin Harvick
