Fantasy Update: Last-minute Pocono lineup advice

Daniel Suarez nabbed his first career Busch Pole Qualifying Award before Sunday's Gander Outdoors 400 (2:30 p.m. ET on NBCSN, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio) at Pocono Raceway, but the young driver will not be in my lineup. After two practice sessions and qualifying, we've dissected the numbers to offer a suggested lineup worthy of your Fantasy Live consideration as you make roster decisions for the 21st Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race of 2018. Remember that the garage locks at the end of Stage 2. RJ Kraft's revised Fantasy Live lineup following practices and the lineup being set: 1: Martin Truex Jr. 2: Brad Keselowski 3: Denny Hamlin 4: Chase Elliott 5: Kyle Larson Garage: Kyle Busch PLAY NOW: Set your Fantasy Live lineup | How the new Fantasy Live works MORE: Fantasy analysis for Pocono | Driver stats | Full lineup | 10-lap averages Analysis: Inspection woes for several top drivers and strong choices for Pocono made setting this lineup quite an adventure. Before that, Kevin Harvick was going to force his way into my lineup, but I'd prefer not to burn one of my two uses left when he's starting 29th in the field. However, with three uses left for Kyle Busch, I'm going to roll the dice with him as my garage play. Some of that is influenced by seeing how he drove up from the back at Richmond (started 32nd) to the win earlier this year -- a race I ultimately removed him from my lineup -- and some of it is influenced by the remaining schedule. The garage spot was a tough call as I debated plenty of names. I toyed with putting Harvick there for a bit (the two uses left combined with how much I like saving him for Michigan and Darlington, with Bristol as a fallback option swayed me from it). I also considered keeping Ryan Blaney in my lineup or taking another driver toward the back like Clint Bowyer but ultimately felt if I was going to roll with another driver (see below for the other driver) at the back of the field it had to be the 2015 champion. I also entertained throwing Suarez in there for some stage points, but his nine straight finishes outside the top 10 scared me away. Erik Jones was another driver I gave serious consideration to as well. Busch was in my original lineup and is one of five drivers I'm keeping in -- along with Truex, Keselowski, Elliott and Larson. MTJ is the most recent winner here and has three straight top-six finishes at the "Tricky Triangle." I have three uses remaining with him so he's in. Keselowski has six straight top fives here, while Elliott has just one finish outside the top 10 at Pocono. Larson has to come from the back, but he had good speed in practice, has the second-best average finish (10.6) among drivers in Sunday's field and I'm sitting at four more uses. I'm banking on at least one of Busch and Larson getting to the front. If Busch is toward the back of the top 10 at the end of Stage 2, it will be a tough call on whether to put him in. The lone change for me sees Ryan Blaney go out in favor of Denny Hamlin. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver will start second and I expect him to lead the JGR brigade that is up front. Sitting at four uses with him also puts me in a good spot for the play. For my bonus picks, taking Keselowski to win Stage 1, Hamlin for Stage 2 and going with Harvick for the win since the car was so strong in practice on Saturday and I don't want to burn the usage, but still would like to try and get points out of him.
