William Byron and his No. 24 Chevrolet have been one on the best at superspeedways of late, as the Hendrick Motorsports driver has finished eighth or better in five of the last six races on this track type, including grabbing a win in this year's season-opening Daytona 500. However, a strategy call may hinder Byron's potential in this weekend's YellaWood 500 at Talladega. Coming into the race weekend, Byron has a 34-point cushion above the cut line in the playoffs, meaning we could see the No. 24 team play it safe on Sunday and just try to have a good points day --focusing on the bigger picture (a championship) as opposed to this particular race, similar to what we saw from Denny Hamlin at Atlanta in the last round. While nothing is guaranteed to happen in this sport, this is something for DFS managers to keep in mind, as Byron focusing on points could (ironically) limit his point-earning upside in fantasy.--Jordan McAbee
