Chase Elliott became a longshot to advance to the Championship 4 after a disappointing day at Las Vegas where he suffered a penalty for a runaway tire then was minorly involved in the late race 11-car pileup, which resulted in an 18th place finish. Since he's now 23 points behind his fellow Chase (Briscoe) for the final playoff transfer spot, Elliott might need to win and he only starts 25th. But Elliott has already won at Talladega twice and he might be the best driver here. In a track where raw speed doesn't matter as much as passing, Elliott's top-notch passing ability makes him a contender nearly every time out here. He seemed more dominant with the Gen 6 car than the Next Gen, but he has actually not crashed out in a Next Gen race yet, making him one of the few. There are no sure things at Talladega, but Elliott is certainly the best DFS option probabilistically.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
