Although Chase Elliott hasn't been terrible this season, he's never seemed so invisible or ignorable before, as even Alex Bowman seems to be faster than him most weeks before some bad luck invariably strikes. Elliott starts ninth in Sunday's AdventHealth 400 and he's pretty much a lock for a top-10 finish as he has only missed the top 10 in three of his last 13 starts, dating back to his win in 2018. He has also led over 40 laps here five times, most recently with this car in his otherwise mediocre 2023. If this were 2020 and Elliott were still one of the most electrifying passers on the circuit, you could probably count on him to lead enough laps to still be worth considering, even though he's starting ninth. But it's no longer 2020, and he rarely leads anymore, so he probably isn't one of the best options compared to other drivers who could gain more via place differential.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
