The Likely Suspects: Gone are the days when Jimmie Johnson and Atlanta Motor Motor Speedway were a foregone conclusion. It's probably a good week to keep Jimmie in your fantasy garage. After all, you'll need him during the Chase. Instead look for these drivers to earn you some decent points this week: Jeff Gordon, Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick, Matt Kenseth, Kurt Busch, Ryan Newman, Joey Logano and Brad Keselowski.

My 2 Cents: My no-brainer pick this week is Jeff Gordon. Ordinarily, I would say Kyle Busch is your next best bet, but I'm still stinging from last week's hit at Bristol. Instead, I'm going with Matt Kenseth. I will round out my team with Greg Biffle, Carl Edwards, Brad Keselowski, Ryan Newman, Austin Dillon and Danica Patrick. Enjoy the race!
