Although Cole Custer has had an invisible season with only a single top-10 finish, Daytona is one of the few tracks where you should strongly consider starting him. In this year's Daytona 500, Custer was attempting an outside pass on Denny Hamlin for the lead when he and the rest of the leaders crashed despite starting 30th. Although he ended up finishing 21st, this does indicate Custer might have speed on Saturday. When coupling that with his poor 29th-place starting position, he has a lot of potential for upside for place-differential points. Since he is a driver who has been so mediocre that a lot of fantasy manager won't think to start him, this makes him a better option than you might expect.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
