We have a three-game slate on Friday night and we're here (by we, I mean myself and my boy Nick Dunning) to provide you with some quick thoughts along with some lineups for tonight's action. Dunning is handling the full Saturday Playbook and you can expect to see that around 10:00 PM tonight (Friday).
DraftKings Cash (Taylor)
Build around the big USF duo in QB Blake Barnett and RB Jordan Cronkrite with this one. The Bulls should move the ball on Tulsa at will and with cheap Air Force QB Donald Hammond III in the super-flex spot, we can afford it. Throw in a cheap USF WR with upside in Darnell Salomon and then get an upside play in Tulsa WR Keenen Johnson. Throw in a couple Arizona WR's in Shun Brown and Tony Ellison. We can then afford the second-best RB in the slate as well in Chase Jasmin at San Diego State.
QB - Blake Barnett (USF) - $8,400
RB - Jordan Cronkrite (USF) - $9,600
RB - Chase Jasmin (SDSU) - $8,000
WR - Tony Ellison (Zona) - $4,800
WR - Keenen Johnson (Tulsa) - $4,600
WR - Shun Brown (Zona) - $5,200
Flex - Darnell Salomon (USF) - $3,800
S-Flex - Darrell Hammond III - $5,500
DraftKings Tournament (Taylor)
Utah can score on Arizona and that game could get pointsy. So, for the GPP version, let's both quarterbacks from that one. Tyler Huntley at Utah and Khalil Tate from Arizona. Tate hasn't been the fantasy stud many hoped for because he's not running as much. Utah is tough on defense but Arizona can make it rain as well. Get Tulsa RB Shamari Brooks in there tentatively. He missed last week and is Questionable officially but that may hurt his ownership percentage and can be a chance for you to cash in on him. Then, get talented Utah RB Zack Moss and all-or-nothing Air Force WR Ronald Cleveland with Utah WR Siaosi Mariner and Arizona WR Sean Poindexter. Finish it off with top USF WR Tyre McCants and... Boom.
QB - Tyler Huntley (Utah) - $8,800
RB - Shamari Brooks (Tuls) - $5,800
RB - Zack Moss (Utah) - $9,200
WR - Ronald Cleveland (AirF) - $3,600
WR - Siaosi Mariner (Utah) - $4,000
WR - Tyre McCants (USF) - $5,900
Flex - Sean Poindexter (Ariz) - $5,000
S-Flex - Khalil Tate (Ariz) - $7,700
DraftKings (Dunning)
Dunning wants to chime in here. He's a Tate honk - though, even he is souring. But, this is good, you can see a Tate/Barnett combo to build around. Hoping for a one-yard TD run from Cole Fagan in the Air Force / SDSU game. The Aztecs do not allow much to happen on the ground. Then again, Air Force doesn't do much else. Some similar names here with Brown/Johnson/Poindexter and Brooks.
QB - Khalil Tate (Ariz) - $7,700
RB - Jordan Cronkrite (USF) - $9,600
RB - Cole Fagan (AirF) - $3,600
WR - Shun Brown (Ariz) - $5,200
WR - Keenen Johnson (Tuls) - $4,600
WR - Sean Poindexter (Ariz) - $5,000
Flex - Shamari Brooks (Tuls) - $5,800
S-Flex - Blake Barnett (USF) - $8,400
