Is Denny Hamlin Worth Rostering For Talladega Lineups?
2 months agoFor Sunday's YellaWood 500 at Talladega Superspeedway, Denny Hamlin will start the race from the eighth position. This is the first time Hamlin will start inside the Top 10 in a race at Talladega since April 2023. In 37 races at the Alabama track, Hamlin has two wins and 16 top-10 finishes, including each of the last eight October races. With 30 races completed in 2024, Hamlin has three wins and 14 top-10 finishes, although none of them have come on superspeedway events. The No. 11 Toyota driver also failed to lead a single lap in each of the last two cup events at drafting tracks. Hamlin's low upside and failure to place in the Top 10 at superspeedway tracks are a cause for concern and make it harder to recommend him as a DFS play this week. However, Hamlin's overall track history is still quite favorable, especially in the October Talladega races, making him one to consider for tournament games only this week.
