Listen - it'd be nearly impossible to create a whole projection system for college football, but Casey is willing to sell his cash game lineups through DFSR.

Cody Fajardo - FD 9000 DK 8900
Grant Hedrick - FD 9000 DK 9100
These are my two favorite top end plays and pairing one of them with Chandler you still have enough firepower to land some big time players. Both quarterbacks are primarily pocket passers, but they also possess the ability make plays with their feet (something I love). They both have favorable matchups, but Nevada gets to play at home. I think Hedrick has a bit more upside mainly because Boise has a more explosive offense when things are clicking. Hedrick also has a guy a by the name of Ajayi who has been known to score multiple touchdowns per game. While it’s good because he keeps the defense honest and off balance, it also cuts into the scoring potential of Hedrick. Fajardo has decent skilled position players as well, but nothing like Jay Ajayi. Therefore Fajardo probably offers a bit more safety for cash games as his performances tend to be more even lined. Fajardo also has an edge in the rushing game. While they have basically the same number of carries (Fajardo 129& Hedrick 120), Fajardo has a 228 yard edge along with four more rushing TD’s (10 to 6). He comes cheaper ($200) and plays at home. Im playing both, but I prefer Fajardo for cash games and either one, edge Hedrick, for GPP format.
Chandler Whitmer - FD 5900 DK 4700
One thing's for sure, Whitmer is far from expensive. He's also far from safe, but there are enough things going for him I think you should be able to use him in cash games and be okay. For starters, as I have mentioned before, his cheap price offers you the ability to fit more expensive players at other positions. He also has a super juicy matchup against the defenseless Cincinnati Bearcats. So when it goes bad for Whitmer, it's like single digit fantasy points bad, but when it goes good he's capable of putting up 30 fantasy points and his price that will put you in great position to cash your leagues. In his last three games Whitmer has given performances of 31, 15, and 25. Now the 15 spot certainly isn't great, but it also won't totally crush you either. There isn’t a ton of middling plays so you are going to see a bunch of lineups with a few top tier players and a plethora of punt options. This is a gamble I’m willing to take in order to allocate dollars elsewhere.
Strongly consider Joshua Dobbs
Jay Ajayi - FD 10200 DK 9300
Man is his price tag is tough to swallow, but man this dude boogies when he gets the rock. In his last five games Ajayi has a low of 31 fantasy points and a high of 45 fantasy points. That’s an insane floor and insane consistency. I have mentioned before how I look for roughly 4x value when structuring my lineups. Well, with the big money guys I’m willing to accept a slightly lower multiplier knowing the raw points received will be plenty. Wyoming is currently ranked 91st against the run so Ajayi should have every opportunity to keep his streak of consecutive games with multiple touchdowns. He’s pricy, but it’s hard to deny the numbers he’s been putting up lately.
Shock Linwood - FD 7100 DK 5400
This price just seems too low for a guy that’s gets the majority of the carries on a team that scores a ton of points. Baylor has talent everywhere and that includes arguably one of the deepest and most talented receiving corps across the country. Have no fear, all that means is holes the size of the Lincoln Tunnel for Linwood to weave through. Baylor actually runs a balanced offense and can really pound the rock when they have too. There are a lot of mouths to feed and Chafin has vultured some TD’s from Linwood, but the opportunity in this offense alone is worth his very reasonable price tags. I was about to say Shock is my favorite play at running back, but the word comfortable came to mind first and it really is fitting. I’m simply comfortable inserting Linwood to most of my cash game lineups.
Consider Storm Woods
Corey Coleman - FD 8600 DK 8800
Antwan Goodley - FD 7000 DK 6600
I still view these guys as equals, but the recent stats and obvious pricing difference say otherwise. Whatever, I’m sticking to my guns they are of equal ability and it depends more on who Petty finds more often. I will, however, gladly accept the discounted price for Goodley and pair them together. Last week they combined for 24 (wow) receptions, 316 yards and 2 scores (1 rushing). Coleman accounted for roughly two thirds of that, but it could have easily been the other way around. Coleman has had the edge the past couple games, but it was Goodley before that. The point is they are both good and since Goodley has been discounted you can easily pair them together and reap the rewards.
Jerico Richardson - FD 4700 DK 4000
Richy Turner - FD 4800 DK 4200
On the other end of the spectrum I bring you a couple value plays. These guys come at bargain prices and both should see an uptick in volume with the loss of Henderson. The three of them received a fairly even amount of targets and now there is one fewer mouth to feed. Don Jackson has scored four touchdowns over the past two games, but prior to that it had been six games since his last touchdown. They have a nice matchup facing Fresno St. which ranks 113th against the pass. It’s easy to point out the big name receivers, but who are the lower end guys that can give you an edge. My boys Richy & Jerico are just those guys. The logical uptick in volume is not yet reflected in their price. If you need a cheaper guy to round out your lineup either one of these guys should serve you well.
Consider: Victor Bolden, Jordan Payton, Geremy Davis
Chad Olsen - FD 3900 DK 3300
Another week in the books and yet another week I begrudgingly pick a tight end and agonize over a few short sentences trying to convince you why one particular guy is better than the rest. The funny thing is by the time I get to the end of my meaningless tight end paragraph I realize I haven’t actually said much about the player. Sometimes less is more. Olsen is the guy. Trust me. He is clear above the other tight ends. Do it. Don’t think, just play.
