The NASCAR circuit will be heading down to Texas Motor Speedway this weekend. Races there always seem to come down to the wire, and I would expect nothing different from this year’s tilt. So to help you pick out the best possible team this weekend, here are five fantasy NASCAR sleepers for the 2016 Duck Commander 500.
5. Greg Biffle

4. Kurt Busch

Busch has been quietly productive in Texas. He has three straight top-15 finishes on this track, including an impressive seventh-place finish last November. Busch obviously won’t be a threat to win it all, but he will be a safe bet to crack the top 15 again at TMS.
3. Martin Truex Jr.
Getty ImagesAfter years of going through the motions, Truex Jr. is finally having a monster fantasy season. He is 11th in the Sprint Cup Standings and has four top-15 finishes on the year. Even better, MTJ has ripped off back-to-back top-10 finishes in Texas. Truex Jr. will be one of the top finds in the middle of the draft this weekend.
2. Joey Logano
Getty ImagesAfter a dominating 2015 fantasy season, Logano has struggled at times this season. Luckily, he has rattled off three straight top-five finishes during the spring race in Texas, including a win in 2014. J-Lo will be a steal outside of the top-five options this Saturday in Texas.
1. Brad Keselowski
Getty ImagesKeselowski is having a rather rocky fantasy season, but he has dominated this track throughout his career. He has cracked the top five in three straight races in Texas, including a second-place finish last November in which he led 312 of 334 total laps. Bad Brad will be a legitimate first fantasy driver this weekend.
