Trevor LawrenceCLEMPITT900030.04  
Last week it was Justin Fields who was priced at 9k and a lot less than other top-tier QBs - and this week it’s Trevor Lawrence who seems like the bargain compared to others in the high price range. Although this matchup vs. Pittsburgh is a tougher one on paper, Lawrence and the Clemson offense should have no trouble putting up points like usual. Plus, there’s a different kind of revenge game narrative at play here. Clemson will want to win big this week after having last week’s game cancelled at the last minute - wrongly in the head coach’s opinion. And there’s the fact that Lawrence hasn’t played in over a month due to his COVID positive test and we could see him more than usual even in a blowout win to get him back in a rhythm.
Mac JonesBAMAAUB820026.16  
How about yet another Heisman candidate on the slate? Mac Jones could end up being a finalist for the award because of his elite efficiency and production running the high-scoring Alabama offense this season. His DFS upside is limited because of how balanced the Tide attack can be with a stud RB in Najee Harris. Still, Jones usually provides a solid cash floor with his 77% completion rate, 18:3 TD:INT ratio and normal 25-30 DK points per game over the course of the year. The Bama offense is unsurprisingly one of the highest-scoring on the slate and this is actually a little bit of a bargain. He could easily replicate his big game against Auburn from a season ago when he first took over the starting job.
Spencer SandersOKSTTTU650013.12  
Who else got burned by Sanders last week when he basically put up a zero while missing the majority of the game with a head injury? It probably cost you money so it’s understandable if you ignore this section of the playbook. However, Sanders is in a great bounceback spot against a horrendous Texas Tech defense that’s allowing 38 PPG and 282 passing yards per game. The matchup for a Big 12 QB honestly couldn’t be better and we’ve been streaming against this Tech defense all year for opposing passing games. We’ll have to double-check before kickoff that Sanders is playing, but he should be active after all he did return in the fourth quarter of last week’s game despite sitting out most of it. He’s a great Super-Flex play on this slate if you can go back to the well.

Running Backs

PlayerTeamOpp.DK $DK FPPGFD $FD FPPG
Najee HarrisBAMAAUB960032.39  
If you can fit him in, Najee Harris is in a tier of his own on this slate on the expensive end of the RB position. The ‘Bama workhorse essentially has a monopoly on touches when the Tide play in closer games - and he’s had no problem seeing 20 or more carries even in blowout wins. Plus, Harris is undoubtedly the top goal-line back and top pass-catching back for Alabama - which is different than in recent years where they used multiple backs at times. The DFS floor and ceiling are always high for Harris and he should have no issues giving you 25-30 DK points at least.
Stevie Scott IIIIUUMD510015.22  
It’s tough to call anyone a lock in college football DFS these days - but Stevie Scott might be just that on this slate. First off, he’s priced way down from what his real role and value is because of a dud outing last week vs. Ohio State where he gained just six rushing yards on seven carries and didn’t see his normal allotment of touches with Indiana trailing and going pass-heavy. In the four games prior, though, Scott saw 20 or more carries in each outing and posted two 20+ DK point performances. He should bounce back in a big way against a terrible Maryland run defense that’s allowing 227 rushing yards and three rushing TDs per game so far. He’s too good of a bargain to pass up in cash games where he should be chalky.
Asim RoseUKUF39007.63  
It’s not too often we get a lead RB priced below 4k this late in the season - but that’s the case here with Asim Rose. With Chris Rodriguez Jr. out, it’s Rose who should step into the lead back role once again for Kentucky. Rose was in a similar scenario last week with Rodriguez out as he saw a team-high 10 carries for 68 rushing yards - but his rushing numbers were very limited against a tough Alabama defense that held UK to just three points. The Wildcats should find more success vs. Florida’s forgiving defense this weekend and Rose would be a huge GPP bargain if he gets 10-15 carries once again and possibly finds the end zone as well.

Also Consider:

  • Travis Etienne - Clemson ($8,600) - GPP
  • Zonovan Knight - NC State ($6,900) - Cash
  • Chuba Hubbard - Oklahoma State ($6,600) - GPP
  • Dameon Pierce - Florida ($5,600) - GPP
  • Jo’quavious Marks - Mississippi State ($5,100) - Cash/GPP

Elijah MooreMISSMSST940035.51  
If you can fit him in, Elijah Moore needs to be strongly considered in all formats with his massively high floor and ceiling in DFS right now. As the clear-cut top playmaker for the Ole Miss offense, Moore is seeing a ton of targets in a pass-heavy attack and it’s resulted in some monster performances. Just look at his last two games - 14 catches for 238 yards, three TDs and 59 DK points vs. Vanderbilt and then 13 grabs for 225 yards, two TDs and 55 DK points vs. South Carolina. Both those outings came against subpar SEC defenses and Moore should find similar success vs. Mississippi State this week. The expensive price tag probably makes him lower-owned than he should be - but you can roster him with confidence in all formats.
Ty FryfogleIUUMD780029.24  
Fryfogle entered this season as a relatively unknown commodity in the Indiana offense but some big statistical games have put him in the conversation of best WR in the country. He’s now posted two straight performances of 200 receiving yards, multiple TDs and 45+ DK points as he’s become a top pass-catching target for QB Michael Penix. Last week’s impressive showing vs. Ohio State was certainly encouraging in a tougher matchup - and Fryfogle and the Indiana offense should have no problem putting up big numbers against Maryland this week. His increased price tag is definitely warranted and we can bank on him continuing the trend.
John Metchie IIIBAMAAUB520015.5  
Obviously DeVonta Smith is the #1 receiver for Alabama and best DFS performer every week in this receiving corps - and Smith is always in play for GPP because of his dominant upside that’s been proven in recent weeks. But it’s really tough to stomach his $9200 salary in cash games, so look towards John Metchie as he’s taken over the Tide’s #2 role with Jaylen Waddle out for the year. Although Metchie only has two games with 100+ receiving yards, there’s more reason for optimism this week in a game that should be closer on the scoreboard - instead of a Bama blowout - and QB Mac Jones will likely look towards Metchie more as the best complement to Smith. This price tag is very attractive for a guy who could easily put up 25+ DK points if he finds the end zone and racks up 100+ yards.
Anthony SchwartzAUBBAMA500016.47  
This is a really weird pricing from DK for a guy that was $6700 a week ago and even put up 17 DK points. The only explanation is an overreaction because Auburn is facing a tougher Alabama defense, but Anthony Schwartz should be a popular play at this discount. He’s the top playmaker on the offensive side for Auburn and he’ll be needed even more this week with RB Tank Bigsby banged up and possibly out. The Tigers will likely look to get Schwartz the ball as much as possible so his speed can be a true difference-maker. Again, this discount makes him a huge value because he’s usually a 6k receiver for his floor and potential.

Jaden WalleyMSSTMISS490011.78  
If you’ve been playing CFB DFS this year, you know we like to target offenses playing against Ole Miss because of that terrible defense and the usual high-scoring, back-and-forth games the Rebels find themselves in. This week, it’s Mississippi State that we can get exposure to and although the offense is overall kind of ugly - it’s hard to ignore how bad Ole Miss is on defense and some of these receivers will definitely be values. Osirus Mitchell ($5100) is a solid option too, but Jaden Walley seems to have a better connection with new QB Will Rogers. Walley put up seven catches for 115 yards and a TD last week with Rogers under center in place of K.J. Costello. If you need a cheap option in GPP or cash, Walley should get there in this high-scoring, favorable matchup.
Kyric McGowanNWMSU420011.42  
Obviously this Northwestern game is one to avoid overall with an extremely low point total compared to the rest of the slate. However, McGowan is a legit option as he’s been seeing a ton of touches in the Wildcats’ offense. Last week, he had season-high’s in receptions (7) and receiving yards (80) despite Northwestern only putting up 17 points on the scoreboard. All year, McGowan has proven he can get it done even in low-scoring games because of his touch volume - which is actually higher than you’d think because of his use in the rushing game as well as being a top receiving target for the offense. He’ll have a favorable matchup vs. Michigan State’s subpar defense and could be a nice salary-saver.

  • DeVonta Smith - Alabama ($9,200) - GPP
  • Amari Rodgers - Clemson ($7,500) - Cash/GPP
