Quarterback

Justin Herbert - Oregon - FD $9,200 DK $7,700

Herbert is hitting his stride at the right time and he’s been over 300 yards in each of the last two games. He now gets a match-up against an Oregon State defense that ranks in the bottom third against the pass in the nation. Oregon is also favored by 19 points in a game with a 65 total, so Vegas is expecting 40+ points out of Oregon. Herbert has pass-catchers to pair with as well and they’re not overly expensive. Herbert is too cheap on both sites and the top point-per-dollar option at quarterback. You can pencil him in for 250 yards and two touchdowns as a baseline in this match-up. The upside is so much higher. 

Lynn Bowden Jr. - Kentucky - FD $8,900 DK $7,300

I don’t expect Bowden Jr. to be very popular, but I love him in this match-up with Louisville. Kentucky is favored by 3.5 points in a game with a 52 over/under. Bowden Jr. does a great job at quarterback for Kentucky, and he’s been their best option this season. He’s rushed for 100+ yards in four of the last five games and threw for over 100 for the first time against Vandy. Kentucky is going to keep the ball in the hands of Bowden all game long and I wouldn’t be surprised to see 25 carries. He won’t be popular and I love the play in all formats. 

Jamie Newman - Wake Forest - FD $10,500 DK $7,900

This is the game with the highest total on the board. Wake Forest is a 3.5-point favorite on the road in Syracuse with a 68 over/under. Cuse doesn’t play much defense and Wake Forest is projected to put up close to 40 points. Newman is back to full health as he ran the ball a wild 29 times last week. The do-it-all quarterback is pretty safe on this slate as he should find his way into three touchdowns somehow or another. You also have a solid receiver in Kendall Hinton to pair him with, who we’ll get to. Newman is pricey, but a solid option in all formats and he could easily finish over 30 fantasy points. 

Tommy DeVito - Syracuse - FD $7,700 DK $6,600

If you’re needing a cheap quarterback, look no further than Tommy DeVito. This Syracuse team is just a three-point underdog and fully expected to put up 30+ points. DeVito has been over 300 yards multiple times this season and this match-up with Wake Forest is as good as it gets. He’ll get back to throwing the ball 30+ times this week and for the price, DeVito makes for an interesting tournament option. I still think the move is paying up at QB, but can see the argument for going DeVito for value. 

Justin Fields - Ohio State - FD $10,100 DK $8,700

Justin Fields deserves to be mentioned. While the match-up against Michigan is tough, few have been as consistent and explosive at the same time as Fields. Ohio State is still favored by 7.5 points and implied to put up 28-30 points. Fields has been over 20 DraftKings points in every single game this season and his price isn’t all that much of a premium. With that being said, I think the guys above have more upside. Ceiling-wise, I have a hard time seeing Fields combine for four-plus touchdowns in this spot. I can very much see Newman or Herbert throwing for four. 

Consider - Trevor Lawrence (CLEM), Justin McMillan (TUL)

 

Running back

Jonathan Taylor - Wisconsin - DK $8,500

Taylor has now rushed for 200+ yards in three straight games. He’s so far and away the best running back in college football and he’s going to crush once again. Wisconsin is a slight favorite over Minnesota and we know Wisconsin is going to feed Taylor all game long. He could legitimately see 30 carries in this game and I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest. The price is prohibitive, but the production is just too insane to ignore. Expect another huge game out of Jonathan Taylor. 

D’Andre Swift - Georgia - FD $9,100 DK $7,600

Georgia Tech has a glaring weakness and it’s against the run. On the season, Georgia Tech has ranked 119th out of 130 teams, allowing 214 yards per game and nearly five yards per carry. Swift is going to demolish this team and he’s my favorite point-per-dollar running back on the slate. Swift has been over 100 yards in two straight games and I guarantee he makes it a third here. Georgia Tech has allowed 200+ yards to some average running games, so they’re going to get bullied by this SEC offensive line. Swift will be in every single lineup of mine. 

CJ Verdell - Oregon - FD $7,700 DK $6,500

If you’re not playing Justin Herbert, you have to get exposure to this Oregon offense somewhere. Oregon State is weak against both the pass and run, and CJ Verdell gets guaranteed volume. He’s been over double-figure carries in all but one game this season and can catch the ball as well. I’m hoping the fact that Verdell hasn’t found the end zone in the last few weeks will keep some folks off of him. Verdell is extremely cheap on both sites and I don’t think his ownership gets over 15%. Make sure you have exposure to this Oregon offense one way or another, as they’re going to put up 30+ points. 

Cade Carney - Wake Forest - FD $7,200 DK $5,300

Cade Carney is priced down on both sites and I like him to find the end-zone once again this week. Wake Forest is another offense we want to target and Carney won’t be popular with all eyes on Jamie Newman. Syracuse ranks 115th out of 130 teams, allowing 210 yards per game and over five yards per carry. Carney isn’t the most explosive running back in the nation, but he’s going to have holes to run through against this defense and his price is depressed on both sites. Carney is a guy I’m going to have a ton of exposure to as he’s cheap and I wouldn’t be surprised if he falls into the end-zone twice. 

Shamari Brooks - Tulsa - FD $8,000 DK $5,600

This game sets up perfectly for Shamari Brooks. The Tulsa Golden Hurricane are 5.5 point favorites on the road against a bad East Carolina defense. Against the run, they rank 104th and allow 195 yards per game. Brooks averages 15 carries a game, but has gotten as many as 36. Tulsa should rely on him heavily as the hold onto a tight lead on the road. He’s a sure-handed workhorse back and the upside is incredible against this porous defensive line. Brooks is in play in all formats and will surely go overlooked after struggling last week.

Consider - J.K. Dobbins (OSU), Travis Etienne (CLEM), Javian Hawkins (UL)

 

Wide Receiver

James Proche - SMU - DK $8,200

You can’t deny what Proche has done with Reggie Roberson Jr. out of the lineup. He’s getting a ton of volume and saw 13 and 14 targets in his last two good match-ups. I expect Proche to catch another ten-plus balls today and he won’t be nearly as popular as he was last week. Tulsa is a middle of the road defense against the pass and they give up 86 yards per game to opposing WR1’s. Proche will be over 100 yards here and it just depends how many times he finds the end-zone. I expect Buechele to lean on Proche a ton in what will be a great game. 

Kendall Hinton - Wake Forest - FD $8,700 DK $6,500

With Sage Surratt and Scotty Washington injured, Kendall Hinton is the clear number one option on this team. He caught six balls last week against Duke for 189 yards and a touchdown. This is a far better match-up this week and Hinton isn’t overly priced up on either site. If you’re playing Jamie Newman, you almost have to pair him up with Kendall Hinton and the 30+ fantasy-point upside he carries. If you’re looking for value, Steven Claude is cheap and going to see five-plus targets in a good match-up. Make sure you have exposure to this game, as it’s the highest total on the board and it’s going to be a close game. I love Trishton Jackson on the other end as well. 

Johnny Johnson III - Oregon - FD $7,400 DK $5,600

Justin Herbert spreads the ball around a ton, but he honed in on Johnny Johnson III last game and threw him the ball 13 times. Johnson ended up catching 10 passes for 207 yards and two touchdowns. Johnson isn’t very expensive on either site and he’s my favorite Oregon pass-catcher. With that being said, Herbert constantly spreads the ball around and I wouldn’t be surprised if he finds another favorite target this week. Johnson just looked great last week and I don’t see him being phased out after what we saw. 

Trishton Jackson - Syracuse - FD $8,800 DK $6,800

If we like Tommy DeVito and expect Syracuse to be throwing from behind. Trishton Jackson is as good of a play at receiver as anyone. He’s the clear cut number one option in this offense and sees 46% of red-zone targets. Syracuse is going to put up at least three or four touchdowns against this terrible defense and Jackson will find the end-zone at least once. He’s only caught two and three balls in each of the last two weeks, but grabbed a touchdown in each and now has 10 on the season. Jackson should see double-figure targets and you can get him under 15% owned in all formats.

Chris Finke - Notre Dame - FD $7,000 DK $4,600

Finke has been pretty consistent of late, and he’s priced way down. He’s had five catches in three of the last four games and got up to seven last week on 10 targets. Ian Book has used Finke as his secondary option to Claypool and Kmet and he’s seen four red-zone targets in the last two weeks. Finke is cheap on both sites and we need value on this slate if we want to pay up for the studs. 

Consider - Devonta Smith (ALA), Cole Kmet (ND), Juwan Johnson (ORE)
