Although Chase Elliott has not yet won at Daytona, it seems inevitable he likely will at some point, and even though he's starting 30th, it could happen on Saturday. Elliott earned his only win this season in the previous drafting-track race at Atlanta, and his 174 laps led here suggest he might be overdue for a win. His bravado and clutch performances in drafting races (particularly the Atlanta ones) can probably carry over to Daytona nicely, and Elliott runs up front enough that it may help him to avoid wrecks behind him. However, his seven crash DNFs in 19 starts is a pretty high percentage. Nonetheless, as the only likely threat for the win who is starting poorly, he has a strong chance at earning a lot of place-differential and lap-leader points, thereby making him almost certainly the best choice for DFS managers in Saturday's race.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
