Welcome to TimersSports
We are at Indy this weekend. I am historically having my best year in every single game so far. I will use this weekend to build on my already strong 2014 campaign. Below represents my picks for both Yahoo Fantasy Racing and Fantasy Live.
* My picks will be updated throughout the weekend. Check back often.
My 2014 Rankings:
Yahoo Overall Rank: 5077th
Fantasy Live Season Rank: 64th
Yahoo:
A-
Start: Jeff Gordon (5)
Inactive: Kyle Busch (7)
Reasoning: Gordon was a smokescreen. But after two practices and 50% of yahoo siding with him. My hand is really forced. Too many unknowns to gamble. I prefer the "safe" strategy this weekend. In other words , I rather not gain any ground then lose a bunch. Especially since teams will be maxing their equipment to the edge.
B:
Start: Ryan Newman (5) and Tony Stewart (5)
Inactive: Carl Edwards (4) and Joey Logano (5)
Reasoning: Easy decisions here. Smoke (60%) and Newman (55%) represents the highest two selected drivers. Fits perfectly into my "safe" strategy. Smoke will have a shot at a win. Newman will make a fantastic top 10 option. Logano won't get me max points. So I will wait on pulling the trigger. Edwards was just thrown on my roster because I needed 4 drivers (should put Kes on instead though).
C-
Start: Juan Pablo Montoya (8)
Inactive: Kyle Larson (4)
Reasoning:
Another easy one. JPM gives me at least a shot at top 15. Cannot pass it up. Larson will be good , but no reason to burn a start. Unless he looks top 10. Larson doesn't so..easy call.
Fantasy Live: Harvick , Johnson , Gordon, Montoya and Sorenson
Reasoning: Passing is difficult. I expect Reed can finish around 33rd. Which is 9 spot up from his starting spot. Should help out if Harvick or Gordon drops spots. Plus I believe Harvick or Gordon will end up in VL.
Dark Horse Pick: Matt Kenseth. Kenseth is a terrific dark horse for Sunday race. He been strong all weekend. Expect him to drive through the field from 13th.
Race Winner: I believe Jeff Gordon goes to Victory Lane ultimately. I have a feeling Harvick cough up the lead late after a critical mistake.
