Could Chase Briscoe be A Sneaky Tournament Play for Talladega Lineups?
Chase Briscoe, driver of the No. 19 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing, will start fifth in this week's Jack Link's 500 at Talladega Superspeedway. Briscoe was awarded the top-5 starting position after qualifying was canceled earlier in the week, and the starting lineup was set by the NASCAR rulebook. In 10 prior Talladega races in his career, Briscoe has eight top-15 finishes and is the track's most recent winner at the Cup level. Through nine races so far this year, Briscoe is ranked 15th in the regular-season standings with four top-10 finishes and an average finish of 17.1. Briscoe's high starting position provides very little upside for DFS, but his track history is better than most starting inside the top 10 this week. Fantasy players in cash games should not use Briscoe due to his lack of upside, but tournament players can utilize him as a potentially sneaky option to score a high finish.
