Fantasy Report: UAW-Dodge 400

Here are this week's picks for Las Vegas UAW-Dodge 400:

Erik's picks: Matt Kenseth✔, Jimmie Johnson , Kyle Busch✔, Greg Biffle✔, Ryan Newman, Kasey Kahne, Scott Riggs✔ and Brian Vickers.

Brandon's picks: Jimmie Johnson, Matt Kenseth✔, Ryan Newman✔, Kasey Kahne, Greg Biffle✔, Bobbie Labonte, Brian Vickers and Scott Riggs✔.

Drivers to watch:

Safe pick: Selecting a fantasy driver each week can be a risky and sometimes tedious task. This week is no different but one driver sticks out as a safe bet. Jimmie Johnson. He is going for a record four wins in a row in UAW-Dodge 400 this weekend at Las Vegas. Even if he does not win on Sunday it is a good chance that he will finish in the top 10 and bring in some valuable fantasy points.

Middle of the road: If you are looking for a potentially safe B driver this week Greg Biffle could prove to be of use to your fantasy team. In his last two starts at Las Vegas he has finished 8th and 16th. He also qualified on the pole at this race in 2006. If his luck continues in the UAW-Dodge 400 he could find himself with a top 10 finish.

Dark horse to win: After a disappointing forty-first place finish at Fontana it will be interesting to see how Denny Hamlin responds this week. In his past two races at Las Vegas Hamlin has finished 3rd and 10th. If he gets his season back on track this week he could be the first to bring home a win for Gibbs Racing.

Almost identical again. Great minds think alike I suppose.

Erik and I are doing pretty well so far. I'm in 4th with 860 pts. and Erik is in 2nd with 870 pts. Let's keep it up!

Sidenote: I was able to keep my position from last week without having to use Kyle Busch. Hopefully that will pay off in the long run.
