Quarterbacks

Kevin Ellison - FD 7700
Ahh, it feels so good to be able to pick this dude. Ellison is one of the best DFS plays you will ever come across. He’s a QB that can seriously get it done with his feet, which is always a good source for providing a high floor. Ellison has gone over 100 yards on the ground in every game except one (he finished with 96) and has added 5 scores on the ground too. He calls his own number down low for those short yardage TD’s. He also plays for a team that prefers to run the ball and they do it well. Tailback Matt Breida draws plenty of attention in his own right, so defenses really struggle containing Ellison (both of them really). As for safety, it doesn’t get much safer than Ellison. He may not offer the greatest upside, but certainly one of the highest floors of all the QB options.

Cody Fajardo - FD 9500 DK 8800
Another duel threat QB on the slate tonight. Fajardo is the focal point of the Nevada offense and everything runs through him. Cody is all over the place with his passing game finishing with as many as 321yds and as little as 64. The good news is when Cody struggles passing the ball he simply just runs more often. Colorado St is okay on defense and certainly won’t roll over for the Wolf Pack. With a Vegas total hovering around 64 there should be plenty of scoring to go around and Fajardo usually has something to do with it.

 

Running Backs

Matt Breida - FD 6500
This is a combination play. You combine Beida with your DFS lineups and you shall win money. If only it were that easy, but unfortunately one guy is rarely enough to cash in most leagues. No, seriously, Breida is a combination play for me. He’s certainly phenomenal in his own right, but pairing him with Ellison gives you an outstanding chance of capturing every TD Georgia Southern scores. Feel free to play him on his own, but I am strongly encouraging a cash game strategy using both Breida and Ellison. Last week was the first week Matt didn’t score or go over 100. I say the streak ends at one and Breida finds the end zone once again

Aaron Jones - FD 7400 DK 9800
His DK price is steep, but running back is a disaster on that site so I think you have pony up the dollars. FD is much easier to squeeze him in and I would say he is a must start there. Jones is a workhorse back and focal point of UTEP's offense. His last two games weren't great and hardly warrant this kind of price. They were both on the road against better competition. Old Dominion doesn’t offer much in the way of stopping Jones.

 

Wide Receivers

Hunter Sharp - FD 6200 DK 7700
Whoa, this guy has been tearing it up. Sharp has averaged a little over 30 pts per game (DK scoring) over his last 3 games and he should have another good day when Air Force comes to town. Air Force is ranked 68th against the pass, but if you look between the numbers they are probably a little bit worse than that. Anytime you play Navy, it’s going to help your defensive pass ranking. Look for Sharp to be sharp once again and torch this Falcon secondary.

Nelson Agholor - FD 6800 DK 6300
Agholor is the Trojan’s leading receiver and has totaled 9 catches in 3 of his last 4 games. Vegas have this game pegged with a 68 O/U and there is no way J. Allen can do it all himself. In fact, Zona has been kind of tough against the run. I expect Agholor to once again pace all receivers and see and abundance of targets. The volume and nature of this game should result in a Nelson payday.

 

Tight Ends

Jarred Gipson - FD 3600 DK 3300
Gipson is certainly not most the consistent TE, as evidenced by his 8/49/2 and being followed by a 1/3 games. Gipson then followed his 1/3 game with another 6/74/2 game.

David Morgan II - FD 3500 DK 3100
Morgan is not as explosive as Gipson, but he is a tad more consistent. In the last 3 games Morgan has totaled at least 4 catches and 50 yards. Hopefully Morgan II can score for the second time this year
