Welcome to TimersSports
It been a rough week for me overall. Been sick since early Wednesday morning, just now getting back to feeling better. So I wasn't able to make a Sleeper post earlier this week, so instead my post this week will be post-practice. There really aren't a lot of good sleepers this weekend, but there are a few good ones that I have seen from practice on Saturday. However I think we are in screwy race, so take gambles at your own risk. Anyways let skip all the introduction bullshit and get straight into today post.
Sleepers -
Austin Dillon - Dillon have quietly had a solid weekend at Atlanta. He have actually been under the radar too, which is something I absolutely love, too. He qualified 8th and was overall pretty good I would say. During final practice, Dillon was told he was at a good pace. That tells me, he probably have a pretty decent car for tomorrow's race. He ran competitively last season on the intermediate racetracks. If he can sneak out a top 15 finish or better, than I would gladly skip my way to Vegas. I think we will see a finish somewhere from the lower teens to middle teens most likely. Maybe 13th-17th place range ideally in my personal opinion.
Paul Menard - I also like Menard as a decent sleeper for this weekend race at Atlanta! Yeah okay Menard haven't been super impressive at Atlanta in his career, but he have developed into a nice teen-type driver on the intermediate racetracks. He will start from mid-pack and should be able to move forward some. I say he get a finish somewhere around 13th or 15th place. I am not really banking on a top 10 out of him, but he is known for fast starts to the season. However I haven't seen that kind of speed out of him yet. Even though it sounds like they made gains during final practice. He complained out needing rear grip. If they can get him little better in the race, then he could definitely surprise some people in Sunday's race at Atlanta!
Ricky Stenhouse Jr - Laugh all you want, but I believe that RFR have made some major gains in the offseason and will have something for them on Sunday. Will he stay up in front? God no, but mark my words he will contend for least a top 20 and maybe just maybe a top 15 finish. If he can come away with a respectable performance, then I think it would be worth the gamble with him. Not to mention, he have a decent racecar overall in my opinion. He probably isn't ideal in leagues that have position differ as a category, but he could be a fine fantasy option in other fantasy formats though.
