NASCAR One & Done Picks for Phoenix

Facebooktwitter

Before I get into the picks for Phoenix, I would first like to say THANK YOU! I know 2020 has been a crazy season and it has been tough on many people’s personal lives. I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to keep this site running when the Covid virus forced NASCAR to shut down, but you came back and you gave me a chance to be your Fantasy NASCAR provider for the 2020 season. I sincerely thank you for that. I realize that the picks have not been as good as they have been in the past. The lack of practice, qualifying, and constantly switching up the schedule put a monkey wrench into my picks. We were still able to have some success. I hope you decide to return next season, because I will dedicate myself to providing the best Fantasy advice possible to help you win your leagues. Once again… Thank You!

Last Race: I wasn’t planning on using Ryan Preece last week at Martinsville, but he ended up being the best choice I had after NASCCAR removed some races from the schedule and added others. Preece did not disappoint. He started the race in the 22nd position and maintained his position for most of the race. He finished 19th. Not too bad for him.

Drivers left to use: Brenan Poole, Quin Houff, Garrett Smithley, Cody Ware, Joey Gase, Timmy Hill, James Davison and Josh Bilicki

My One & Done Pick for Phoenix: J.J. Yeley

It looks like J.J. Yeley will be in the race. According to the official starting lineup, Yeley will be driving the No. 27 car Sunday. He has been decent at his home track. Yeley finished 26th at Phoenix in March. I will roll the dice with Yeley Sunday.

Kevin Harvick will be my pick for games where you can use a driver more than once. He is known as “The King of Phoenix” for a reason. Harvick has a series-high nine wins in the desert. He should be extra motivated to spank the field after he was eliminated from the playoffs.

Other good sleeper picks: Clint Bowyer, Michael McDowell, Corey LaJoie and Ty Dillon (Listed in the order of preference)

 

Good luck this week!
