Fantasy Nascar Sleepers & Busts

Welcome to Timerssports

Every week I have tried my best to deliver the best fantasy nascar sleepers & bust candidates. Looking back I was successful in doing so. Hopefully I been able to help all my loyal readers. Today marks the final sleepers & busts edition of the 2014 season! Phoenix was very exciting as it was the final eliminating race. What will Homestead bring? What big names could potentially be a letdown? What under the radar driver will rise up and deliver glory? Grab a beer and sit back , because the show about to start.

Sleepers:

Martin Truex Jr- I been saying it weeks and weeks now that MTjr is starting to hit his stride and boy is he ever! As of Wednesday morning , MTJr was selected by 15% of Yahoo. His % is definitely on the rise in recent weeks. Its also helps Homestead is one of his best tracks on the schedule. I been impressed with MTjr despite an 17.7 average finish in his past 10 starts in 2014. He consistently ran top 12 , but also got loads of misleading finishes. Potential beats average finish in my book.

Austin Dillon: Seems like further we have gotten into this season the more Dillon have became forgotten about. Now Dillon isn't no Kyle Larson , but outside of Phoenix Dillon been very consistent. From my view he should be a nice sleeper for Homestead. Austin never raced here on the cup side, but similar tracks data say Dillon a stellar option. Of course I am referring to value/price. Dillon resembles an bargain deal. Mainly because he's shown he can run top 10 at a much lower price then say an Kevin Harvick type guy on similar tracks.

Dale Jr: There may not be a better sleeper then the driver of the 88 car. Since being eliminated from the championship , Dale jr have been one of the best drivers in the field. Including a win in that span as well. From a career standpoint , Homestead is a terrible track. But he has 2 top 10s in his past three races. I like that sort of positive trend.

Busts -

Jeff Gordon: I don't trust Gordon and I personally think he gonna do something stupid on Sunday. No doubt he will be fast , but how will he finish? His comments last week after Phoenix could be a good indication. Just my opinion , and I know a lot of people will disagree. But hey that's just me.

JMac: I am not big on JMac at Homestead. He is boom or bust. Really the definition of high risk/high reward. Not an ideally option I want batting for a fantasy championship. Personally I don't hate him this week , but just think he's overvalued in my opinion.

Well folks that the final sleepers & Busts article of the 2014 season! We got a few more articles to come out this week though.

After the season recap article on Monday (11/17) , we (Timerssports) will take a few weeks off. Before getting into our 2015 offseason coverage.

Fantasy Football Starts/Sits (WK11)

Welcome to TimersSports

Originally wasn't gonna do any articles this week as I am in process of moving to Los Angeles. But the moving process was quicker then I thought. So today we gonna look at starts and sits for week 11! The difficulty of these fantasy football decisions can be stressful. Never fear I got some useful suggestions! Let get started!

***Scoring format: CBS Sports

Starts -

Quarterbacks:

Robert Griffin III- RGIII may not be an QB1 caliber in the new Washington offense , but Tampa Bay is too favorable to overlook. The Bucs have allowed the 5th most fantasy points per game (22.8). Give him a shot unless you have an elite option on your hands.

Matt Ryan- Look Ryan haven't been great this season , but he's have enough offensive weapons to be a threat to be an QB1 level player. Carolina have allowed the 7th most fantasy points per game to QBs (22.5). I would highly consider starting him over most options out there.

Colin Kaepernick- I don't hate CK7 this week. Colin clearly needs to work on consistency. But facing the downtrending Giants should help CK7 out. As New York have allowed the 13th most fantasy points per game (20.7).

Running Backs -

Frank Gore: Marshawn Lynch scores 4 times and 140 yards against the Giants in week 9. If Gore can even manage half that it will be a good day. The Giants have allowed the 2nd most fantasy points per game running backs (24.8). Can you really pass this matchup up? I wouldn't.

Mark Ingram: The former high draft pick out of Bama been looking every bit of it in recent weeks. The Bengals have allowed the 4th most fantasy points per game (23.4). No way I am benching this dude. Least while he absolutely own the entire saints backfield.

Steven Jackson: Jackson is starting to look like a reliable running back again. As he have scored in back-to-back games and double digital points outing as well. Carolina have allowed the 7th most fantasy points per game (22.7).

Wide Receivers -

DeSean Jackson: DJax leads the league yards per catch. He may not always scores TDs , but he almost always gain big yards despite average QB play in 2014. Tampa Bay just gonna help his cause this week. The Bucs have allowed the most fantasy points to Wide Receivers per game (29.5).

Randall Cobb- The Eagles have the fastest pace offense in the league , but the Green Bay Packers also feature an fast pace offense. And one of the WRs within the offense is Cobb. Cobb leads the league in TDs catches. The Eagles defense on the other hand have allowed the 3rd most fantasy points per game to WRs (27.5).

Golden Tate- Despite the return of Calvin , Tate is still putting up solid numbers. No reason to jump off the Golden train until to go off tracks. The Cards pass defense have struggled as an unit. As they have allowed the 8th most fantasy points per game vs WRs (24.8).

Tight Ends -

Dwayne Allen: Allen in my opinion been one of the best surprises of the 2014 season. He literally have became a nightmare matchup against defenses overnight. And Andrew Luck absolutely love it. The Patriots have allowed the 13th most fantasy points per game (9.0).

Travis Kelce: Kelce is the 9th best Tight End in points per game (7.5). In week 11 , he gets an very favorable matchup against the Seahawks who allowed the 4th most fantasy points per game (10.8).

Sits -

Quarterbacks:

Jay Cutler- I was one of the many experts who jumped on the Cutler bandwagon in the offseason. But I will be the first to admit that was a mistake. Cutler just haven't lived up to the hype. The Vikings have allowed the 5th fewest fantasy points per game (17.0).

Ryan Tannehill: I am not a fan of starting non-stud on TNF. Ryan is no different. He is barely above average  quarterback with an questionable supporting cast. The Bills have allowed the 4th fewest fantasy points per game vs Qbs (16.9).

Eli Manning: Manning always have potential to have a great week. But that's the big problem. Typically Eli is boom or bust. More often then not he's an bust. To me there better upsided options out there. The 49ers have allowed the 11th fewest fantasy points per game vs QBs (18.3).

Running Backs -

Reggie Bush: Bush is so injury pronged it not enough funny. I mean we have to go back to week 6 and find Bush healthy. Not exactly something I want as a fantasy owner. The Cardinals have allowed the 2nd fewest fantasy points per game (12.9).

Lamar Miller: Miller is coming off an injury , so not totally on board with him in week 11. To make matter worse its against the Bills on TNF. Two things that instantly raise red flags. 1) Its an Thursday night (so a short week). Not exactly assuring to hear since Miller was questionable earlier in the week. 2) The Bills have allowed the 3rd fewest fantasy points pet game (13.6).

Bobby Rainey: Rainey for the time being the top back in Tampa , but I have a feeling Sims about take over the backfield before the season ends. Rainey still holds value , but shouldn't be started against Washington. Washington have allowed the 7th fewest fantasy points per game vs RBs (14.5).

Wide Receivers -

Dwayne Bowe: Bowe been pretty inconsistent all season long. Typically I don't suggest starting them vs an unfavorable matchup. In week 11 , Bowe faces an Seahawks who have allowed the the 4th fewest fantasy points vs WRs (17.8). There more reliable options laying out there.

Alshon Jeffery: When was the last time Jeffery scored a TD? Seems like weeks now. I cannot understand it really. Well okay I can , but it doesn't make any sense. Especially since the Bears always playing from behind. The Vikings have allowed the 11th fewest fantasy points per game (20.7).

Larry Fitzgerald: Fitz been looking like the Fitz of old. Unfortunately the injury to Carson Palmer may have killed his value. Only tine to tell. To be honest , I would wait a game or two to see how he fair. The lions have allowed the fewest fantasy points per game vs WRs (16.9).

Tight End-

Greg Olsen: I am a matchup guy when it comes to Tight Ends. This position is so inconsistent outside of Gronk & Graham. Typically I try to find a solid matchup and play it. Olsen doesn't fits into that category in week 11. The Falcons have allowed the 2nd fewest fantasy points per game vs TEs (5.2).

Martellus Bennett- Bennett continues to decline as the colder weather get closer as does the Chicago Bears. Bennett who was the top ranked Tight End at one time have dropped to 6th in points per game (9.6). The Vikings have allowed the 5th fewest fantasy points per game (5.5).

Fantasy Nascar Preview (HST)

Welcome to TimersSports

We are at Homestead this weekend! The final race of the 2014 season which means this is also the final preview. I am afraid Sunday race will be the Phoenix and Texas drama on steroids. From a fantasy stand point of view , Homestead is our superbowl. Its literally all nothing or now. Use 'em if you got 'em. Championships hopes will be shattered. While other will rain supreme in championship gold & glory.

1-Jamie Mac: JMac literally been all nothing in the chase. He usually runs top 10 , but rarely finish where he should. At Texas (very similar track) , he had a good run. Over the past three 1.5 mile layouts , JMac have an 11.0 average finish , 2 Top 5s and 32 laps led. He led least one lap each one. Over the past 2 races here , JMac have compiled 25.0 average finish , 1 Top 20 and 60.0 driver rating.

2-Brad Keselowski: BK could be in for a long afternoon on Sunday. Jeff Gordon gonna get justice and trust me it gonna be ugly. Nevertheless Brad will be fast all week. Over the previous three 1.5 mile layouts , BK have compiled 18.3 average finish , 0 win , 1 Top 5 , and 32 laps led. For the record , the other two races he was capable of least an top 10. But had mechanical issues. Over the past 2 races here, BK have compiled 10.5 average finish , 1 Top 10 , 2 Top 20s , 9 laps led and 103.0 driver rating.

3-Austin Dillon: Not exactly sure what happened to Dillon at Phoenix. But he finished 30 laps down in 38th place. I wouldn't expect that in back-to-back races. Over the previous three 1.5 layouts , AD have compiled 14.0 average finish , 1 Top 10 and 6 laps led. He should be good for an top 20.

4-Kevin Harvick: Harvick absolutely dominated Phoenix (as I predicted) , now on to Homestead. Over the previous three 1.5 layouts , Harvick have compiled 5.0 average finish , 1 win , 2 Top 5s , 2 Top 10s , and 225 laps led. Very impressive. But his Homestead stats aren't bad either. Over the past 2 races here , KH have compiled 9.0 average finish , 2 Top 10s , 2 Top 20s , 8 laps led and 87.5 driver rating. He might be the favorite overall.

5-Kasey Kahne: Kahne isn't really a relevant option at this point and time. He have had his worst season ever at Hendrick MotorSports. Homestead is unlikely to change that. Outside of his win at Atlanta , Kahne literally looked lost. Over the previous three 1.5 layouts , KK have compiled 23.3 average finish , 1 Top 20s , and 2 laps led. His Homestead record isn't much better. Over the past two races here , KK have compiled 17.0 average finish , 1 Top 20, 7 laps led and 89.3 driver rating.

10-Danica Patrick: Danica was better then I thought at Phoenix. But still I don't know if she an useable option at Homestead. Practice will be the overall determining factor though. Right now I have her as an top 25 option.

11-Denny Hamlin: Remember when people said 0 JGR cars would make the championship? Got to love this new chase format. Hamlin loves worn out surfaces like Homestead. Over the past three 1.5 layouts, DH have compiled 8.7 average finish , 3 Top 10s and 25 laps led. His Homestead record been good too. Over the past 2 races here , DH have compiled 12.5 average finish , 1 Win , 1 Top 5 , 1 Top 10, 1 Top 20 , 72 laps led and 96.5 driver rating.

16-Greg Biffle: Biff haven't been great this season , but the RFR strength been on this type track. In fact over the previous three 1.5 layouts , The Biff have compiled 15.3 average. Unfortunately 0 Top 10s or laps led. While having a similar Homestead record. Over the past 2 races here , The Biff have compiled an 14.5 average finish , 1 Top 5 , 1 Top 10, 1 Top 20 , 0 laps led and 76.5 driver rating.

18-Kyle Busch: Busch didn't have the season he wanted , but still a nice 2014 campaign. Busch been pretty good during the chase on this type track. Over the past three 1.5 layouts , Rowdy have compiled 4.0 average finish (series-best) , 3 Top 5s (series-best) , 3 Top 10s , and 42 laps led. His Homestead record just as impressive. Over the past 2 races here , Rowdy have compiled 5.5 average finish , 1 Top 5 , 2 Top 10s , 191 laps led and 125.5 driver rating.

20-Matt Kenseth: Kenseth was officially eliminated after Phoenix , but that doesn't mean he won't try to win the final race of 2014. MK been pretty average on this type track this season. Over the previous three 1.5 layouts , MK have compiled 19.0 average finish , 0 Top 10s and 0 laps led. To be fair , he had top 10 cars in all three events. Unfortunately got a misleading finish. His Homestead record solid though. Over the past 2 races here , 10.0 average finish , 1 Top 5 , 1 Top 10, 2 Top 20s , 146 laps led and 119.5 driver rating.

22-Joey Logano: And then there were 4. A lot of people jumped on Logano Championship bandwagon recently. But I called it last November and then officially in January that Logano would be win the 2014 Championship. People thought I was nuts. Guess I will be receiving some apologizes. Logano been consistent on this type track. Over the previous three 1.5 layouts , JoLo have compiled 5.7 average finish, 1 win , 2 Top 5s , 2 Top 10s and 122 laps led. His Homestead record isn't bad. Over the past 2races here ,JoLo have compiled 11.0 average finish, 1 Top 10 , 2 Top 20s and 87.9 driver rating.

24-Jeff Gordon: Gordon is probably one of two guys I am extremely nervous about from a fantasy point of view. Gordon racing for nothing now. Winning at Homestead will likely be the least of his worries. He said things could get ugly at Homestead. I don't like that one bit. Still will bring a fast racecar. Gordon won this race two seasons ago on pit strategy. Gordon had one of the cars to beat at Texas few weeks ago. Over the past two races here , Gordon have compiled 6.0 average finish , 1 win , 1 Top 5 , 1 Top 10s ,  2 Top 20s , 14 laps led and 109.2 driver rating.

31-Ryan Newman: Newman is so consistent its just unbelievable. I mean he so predictable its not funny. This season he have ran mostly inside the top 15 , but no better then 7th most of the time. Over the previous three 1.5 layouts , RN have compiled 9.3 average finish , 2 Top 10s and 7 laps led. He have an similar Homestead record. Over the past 2 races here , RN have compiled 10.0 average finish , 1 Top 5 , 1 Top 10, 2 Top 20s , 4 laps led and 88.7 driver rating.

42-Kyle Larson: This kid is impressive and he was no different at Phoenix. Most of the race he ran inside the top 10. But was tagged by Newman. Which eventually resulted in an 13th place finish. Not many drivers been better then Larson recently. Over the previous three 1.5 layouts , Larson have compiled 5.0 average finish , 1 Top 5s , 3 Top 10s and 5 laps led. Homestead is a worn out racetrack , and this kid loves them worn out racetracks.

48-Jimmie Johnson: Johnson is probably having his worst season since well ever. But he have 4 wins in 2014. Which is saying a lot on how great Johnson been over his career. I believe he can win this weekend. There absolutely no pressure on him or his teammates. Johnson won a few weeks ago at Texas Motor Speedway. Another worn out racetrack. I expect Johnson be a legit threat.

88-Dale Jr: Since being eliminated , Dale Jr have been one of the most consistent options in Nascar. He is someone I would highly consider as a suitable replacement if you out of Gordon(s) and Harvick(s). Only thing that I don't like is his stats at Homestead. Still think he is worth a look at. He will least be an top 10 guy come Sunday.

99-Carl Edwards: Edwards have had a very good chase. I was quite puzzled after the first round. But he sure proved me wrong. Now we head to Homestead and his final start with RFR. Over the previous three 1.5 layouts , Edwards have compiled an 7.3 average finish , 1 Top 5 , 3 Top 10s , and 1 laps led. His Homestead record is pretty good as well. Over the past 2 races here , Edwards have compiled 12.0 average finish , 2 Top 20s , and 96.7 driver rating.

Fantasy Nascar Update (Phx)

Welcome to TimersSports

I am not gonna get into deep details on Phoenix Raceway layout. The big thing you need to know is track position is huge here. Realistically anyone can win in a 3 lap shootout. But let me be clear , the cars with great long run speed will be up front when it all said and done. Interesting fact about drivers starting inside the top 10. Since the repave over 60% of the drivers started 10th or better finished there. Yet no driver have won from inside top 8.

Below I gave my thoughts of each driver in Saturday practice sessions. Since Yahoo Fantasy Racing is the most popular game , I broke it down into tiers. Enjoy and good luck.

A:

1. Kevin Harvick - Harvick was by far the man to beat and it wasn't even close. Harvick was stupid fast in the morning session. Still stupid fast in the final session. He topped the best 10 lap average charts in both sessions. The 4 car was very strong on the long run.

My overall Ranking: 1st

2. Jeff Gordon- Gordon wasn't bad overall. Just not in Harvick zip code. I thought he was very good on the long run. Gordon will be one of the guys to beat on Sunday. He was least a top 5 guy overall Saturday. Don't overlook the 24 car.

My Overall Ranking: 3rd

3. Matt Kenseth -Kenseth  been overlooked for awhile now and this may be the perfect time pounce on the opportunity. The 20 was strong in both sessions on Saturday. More importantly showed legitimate long run speed on the long runs. Was ranked near the top of Best 10 and 15 lap average charts. Have a good starting position. I am higher on him then most

My Overall Ranking: 5th

4. Dale Jr - Dale didn't stand out on Saturday , but I thought overall he was very good. The 88 crew improved the car all day long and had Dale Jr running competitive lap times in the top 5 at end of final practice. Dale was good on the long run as well.

My Overall Ranking: 6th

5. Jimmie Johnson: Jimmie wasn't terrible , but he doesn't need to be perfect to be a legit threat. Honestly I thought the 48 lacked too much speed to contend for a win. But I do believe he is in storage for least another top 10 on Sunday.

My Overall Ranking: 7th

B:

1. Brad Keselowski- Keselowski was strong in both practices on Saturday. Posting quick lap times throughout a run. I didn't think Brad was quite as good in final practice as the morning session. But he have a fast car with solid starting spot. Two things I like.

My Overall Ranking:  2nd

2. Joey Logano- Logano wasn't exactly stellar on Saturday. But he got faster as the day went on. At end of final practice , I thought Logano had a top 5 car for Sunday race. He got a solid chance to punch his ticket on points alone. I don't think he's a winning driver this weekend , but somewhere from 3rd to 6th is likely.

My Overall Ranking: 4th

3. Denny Hamlin - Hamlin starts on the pole for Sunday race , but don't think he have a top 5 car though. Honestly probably a top 10 car more likely. He showed flashes of speed all weekend. Just not consistent enough to be ranked above the Penske duo. Nice medium to long run speed in final practice.

Overall Ranking: 8th

4. Jamie Mac- I liked JMac in final practice. I thought he had about a 10th -15th  place car. Trust me he was much better then his 19th starting position. Jamie seems to be happy with his car overall. As did teammate Kyle Larson. JMac may be a bit risky , but I think it worth it.

My Overall Ranking: 11th

5. Ryan Newman- Newman was terrible in the morning session. I was very unimpressed. As the day went on , the 31 car was improved significantly. At end of final practice , Newman had a top 15 car. Realistically I think he an top 15 guy with top 10 upside. Did not pay much attention to the 31 long runs ,but Newman was solid on the 10 lap average chart.

My Overall Ranking: 12th

6. Paul Menard- This is the best Menard looked all season at a flat track. He ran very fast laps in both sessions. Well inside the top 15 , but Menard is a pretty tricky driver to figure out. Not the first time Paul looked good in practice. Usually it has ended badly on raceday unfortunately. I am optimism about an top 15 though.

My overall Ranking: 14th

7. Carl Edwards- Edwards was probably the worst of the chasers at end of final practice. The 99 was decent for a few laps and then that pretty much it. Edwards strength haven't been long runs this season. It may be a problem come Sunday. Especially since track position is so big here. Of course that's pure speculation! Edwards didn't do any long runs in practice. Really hit or miss. 

My overall Ranking: 15th

C:

1. Kyle Larson- Larson actually surprised me. I didn't expect him to be this good at Phoenix. But I guess nothing should surprise me about Kyle Larson. He looked great on Friday. Even better on Saturday. I actually considered ranking him even higher ,  but wanted to give him a higher ceiling. Larson an top 10 option with top 5 upside.

My Overall Ranking: 9th

2. Austin Dillon- Dillon is always the forgotten rookie during practice. He goes out and mind his own business. And does the same thing on raceday. I like him for least an top 20. On Saturday he was close to that.

My Overall Ranking: 18th

3. Justin Alliager- JA wasn't bad I guess. Definitely not in Larson/Dillon range , but Justin is having a nice season. I raved about this guy back in the offseason. Look like he finally making me look good. Justin have an top 25 car this weekend.

My Overall Ranking: 25th

4. Danica Patrick- Patrick to me isn't a good fantasy pick. She got the bad end of the CC swap with Kurt Busch. Patrick is an average driver with an average CC. Usually you get average results. So an top 25 isn't out of the question. Anything more is questionable. Danica have struggled since unloading. Not a lot of upside honestly.

My Overall Ranking: 26th

Well that's it for my Phoenix coverage. Check back next week for the final Timerssports Preview and of course Update.
