Denny Hamlin Looking To Bounce Back At Atlanta
9 months agoNASCAR's favorite villain, Denny Hamlin, will start 13th in Sunday's Ambetter Health 400 at Atlanta Motor Speedway. After finishing 19th at Daytona, the 20-year Cup veteran will look to bounce back this weekend when the Cup Series goes restrictor-plate racing for the second straight week. Despite his reputation on this style of track, Hamlin's struggles on Atlanta's new configuration cannot be ignored. In the four races on this new layout, Hamlin has finishes of 29th, 25th, sixth, and 14th, leading just 17 of the 1,030 laps raced. During this same period, he has only averaged 23.36 points on DraftKings, a score that is well below the threshold needed to return value in DFS. Between his recent struggles at Atlanta and his slate-high DraftKings salary ($10,500), we advise limiting your exposure to the No. 11 this weekend in DFS.
