Welcome to TimersSports
Last week was improvements for sure from Daytona, so keep that going for sure at Las Vegas. I will not be in attendance this season for this race (I was last season), but I am very excited about it though. I think the racing is going to be very good based on what we saw at Atlanta. I was encouraged how much passing we saw, despite very few cautions to go along with that. We will see two test sessions before Friday's normal track activity. I expect the big teams to perform well (much like last week) this weekend. So I am going to continue to stack my fantasy lineups with big name drivers. Until solid trends start to develop.
Yahoo -
A:
Start - Jimmie Johnson (9)
Bench - Kevin Harvick (8)
Reasons - Johnson have the car to beat this weekend and Harvick will be pretty much a lock next week. So I don't see no reason why to force a start with Harvick. Especially if Johnson have the better car and scores max points. Also I already used Harvick once and would like to spread my Harvick starts out a bit, instead of using him three straight weeks to start the season.
B:
Start - Paul Menard (9), Austin Dillon (9)
Bench - Carl Edwards (9), Martin Truex Jr (8)
Reasons - On Tuesday I said I would only use Menard and Dillon, if they looked fast in practice. Edwards starting the back and Truex does not look like a dominated fantasy pick like he was last week. Probably only a solid top 10, I want solid top 5 from Truex. So why not roll with the RCR duo of Dillon and Menard. Both drivers have looked like top 10 or top 12 since unloading and I will save a few starts with my two studs. Sounds pretty perfect to me!
C:
Start - Brian Vickers (8)
Bench - Chase Elliott (9)
Reasons - Plain and simple, it all about saving my C-list studs of Elliott and Blaney for later in the season. Elliott and Vickers probably won't finish far apart from each other anyhow. So I am going with Vickers. I believe he will least finish inside the top 20 (if not better).
Fantasy Live - 48,4,20,23 and 14
Sleeper - Dillon
Winner - Jimmie Johnson
