Fantasy Winners: Shane Van Gisbergen (SVG) silenced the doubters about his oval track skills, delivering a 5-point finish and moving up to the 12th-best fantasy driver overall. Denny Hamlin also had a massive week, securing a -7 point performance by winning the race and claiming the fastest lap. Fantasy Losers: It was a disastrous week for Trackhouse Racing. Ross Chastain scored 37 points and dropped to a season-worst $8 running value. Meanwhile, Connor Zilisch had a dead-last run and officially took over as the worst fantasy driver in the league. Kyle Larson also burned his owners with a 23-point finish following a controversial late-race wreck. Stats & Standings: Tyler Reddick remains the undisputed #1 fantasy driver, bringing his season average down to an unbelievable 3.1 points per race. However, Denny Hamlin is putting together a historically great season of his own and is quietly closing the gap with a 6.7 average.
