Denny Hamlin is sure to be one of the most popular DFS picks for Saturday night's Quaker State 400 at EchoPark Speedway (Atlanta), as the Joe Gibbs Racing driver qualified in 33rd place for this weekend's race. That means that Hamlin has massive place-differential upside in a race where those fantasy points should reign supreme with the final scoring. And while Hamlin does have upside to grab plenty of place-differential points, this weekend's race could be an opportunity to go underweight on him from a strategy perspective. Hamlin has zero top-five finishes in the seven races on the "new" Atlanta tracks and only two top-10s. Additionally, he has finished outside of the top 20 entirely in four of the last seven races here. The upside is definitely there, but if you're feeling like rolling the dice and going against one of the most popular DFS plays on this slate, you could go underweight on Hamlin in tournaments.--Jordan McAbee
