2017 Fantasy Recap - Ty Dillon didn't have a rookie season of Erik Jones or Daniel Suarez, but it wasn't terrible by any means. Considering the equipment that he is in, I would say that it was a decent run for the younger Dillon brother. In 36 starts in 2017, he posted 20 Top 20 finishes. Which is little over half of his starts overall. Early on in the season, he seemed to accumulate those top 20 finishes at a higher rate though. In his final 14 starts, he only had 4 finishes inside the top 20. During his first 22 starts, he had 16 Top 20 finishes. See the fall-off from the first stench of races compare to the second group? That is typically backwards. Usually, a rookie will start off slow and progressively get better as the season goes on. With Dillon, his better days were early in the year. Still, 20 Top 20 finishes for the entire season with the #13 team is a upgrade over what Mears typically did. Then again, Dillon brings backing from RCR. So I am sure that helped a lot a bunch, too.
Strong Tracks - Phoenix, Pocono and Atlanta
Weak Tracks - Sonoma and Martinsville

2018 Fantasy Outlook - After a quality rookie season, Dillon will look to bulid on that in his second-full season as a cup driver. Despite the No.27 car being empty in 2018, Ty Dillon will stay put with the #13 team. Good for Ty though. I think him getting put in the 27 car would put a bad taste in some people mouths. One thing I noticed about Ty Dillon last year (and pretty much expected to happen too), was that he had his best days on the shorter tracks in general. More specially, his numbers on the shorter flats. He finished 22nd or better at both Phoenix and New Hampshire. In 3 of those 4 races, he finished 16th or better. In general, Dillon was amazing on the flats in 2017. He finished inside the top 20 at both larger flats. In three races, he finished 18th or better all three times. If there was a consistent strong spot for Dillon last year, it had to be on the flats in general. No other type of track, where there any real consistency. At other type of tracks, it a good result here, followed by a bad result at times. Overall, I think Dillon will have a shot to improve on his numbers in 2018. But I don't think it really about that though. For Dillon to have success, it is not about having 20 Top 20 finishes again. It is about having some top 5 and top 10 finishes. Even if he adds 1 or 2 top 10 finishes and retain some consistency along with that, then I think 2018 will be success. If there's one thing I want to see from him, then it being consistent. I can live with him not scoring any top 10 finishes, but he needs to be consistent. That for me will be the biggest thing!
