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 9600 DK 8600
Speaking of offensive focal point; look no further than Fajardo. He runs. He passes. He runs some more with some passes sprinkled in. Cody is also incredibly consistent coming in around 30 fantasy points almost like clockwork. Nevada has a sexy fantasy matchup against a Runnin Rebel squad that is far from great on defense. Since Nevada really doesn’t have a ton of talent Cody truly is the Nevada offense. If he can’t pass he runs. If he can’t run, he passes. The only question mark surrounding Cody is how high the ceiling is. The floor is firmly in place for cash games. If you’re not picking up what I’m putting down, ill elaborate. UNLV can’t stop Fajardo. End of discussion.
Luke Falk - FD 9100 DK 9200
Don’t you just love CFB fantasy? Connor Halliday was one of the safest fantasy options week in and week out. He goes down with an injury and in step Luke Falk. Yeah, I haven’t heard of him either, but this Air Raid offense lends itself to fantasy greatness regardless who’s under center, apparently. Falk has been money in the bank and this matchup screams more of the same. What I mean by the same is Washington State will pass some, pass again, run a few play actions, pass some more and finally finish off with more passing. Washington is very suspect against the pass and pretty stingy against the run. Coach Leech doesn’t need any excuse to abandon the run, but the statistics say Wazzu will fare much better through the air rather than pounding the rock. It’s safe to expect somewhere around 50 pass attempts and it’s that kind of volume you want in your cash lineups. The Huskies secondary is going to be wondering what the Falk is going on because they’re in for a long night.
Austin Grammer - FD 6700
On the lower end of the pay scale you have Austin Grammer and the Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders. Grammer comes with more risk than the guys mentioned above, but if you’re looking to save a few bucks at the quarterback position Grammer is one of your better options. MTS runs the ball quite often so Grammer’s passing stats are all over the place. I wouldn’t expect a huge game, but he does offer a bit of upside since he does have potential for some rushing touchdowns. UTEP doesn’t have a great defense so if Grammer is able to take advantage of some holes than he could really set you up nice to finish in the money. Again, I won’t be running as much as the guys above, but I’ll show him some love here and there.
Royce Freeman - FD 8300 DK 7400
In the off chance you actually pay attention to what I write, I promised myself I wouldn’t copy and paste last week’s Freeman spot. The reality is nothing has changed, including his price. It’s still too low for a guy that is about a sure a bet there is around to score a touchdown. Freeman is a highly talented freshman with the lead back role on a team that runs very effectively and scores oodles of points. The upside isn’t tremendous since there are quite few mouths to feed on the Ducks offense, but man, I don’t think there is a safer RB play this week. I would be extremely surprised if Freeman didn’t score (barring injury of course) and eclipse 100 yards. He’s not much of a factor in the passing game which stinks a little, but he also doesn’t come out near the goal line. Freeman will find just about every cash lineup I run.
Aaron Jones - FD 7500
Jones is coming off a poor performance and I think that will propel him to an excellent night against an overmatched front seven from Middle Tennessee State. Jones is the lone star for UTEP and typically sees strong volume. Jones only has two games all year where he finished with less than double digit fantasy points. Vegas sees this game with a total around 60 give or take and UTEP as a slight favorite. In other words, an evenly matched back and forth game. That should bode well for AJ since he is the main cog of the offense and should have ample opportunity to punch it in for six. Jones and Waller are basically a toss-up for me. I think Jones may have a smidge more upside since he doesn’t really compete for touches.
Marteze Waller - DK 7000
Waller was questionable last week and ultimately suited up and started for the Bulldogs. He left early in the first quarter due to a helmet to helmet hit and did not return. Waller commented he could have returned if needed, but players always say that kind of stuff. He is currently listed as probable and is expected to get the majority of snaps. Waller was up and down early on, but has been pretty dang consistent over the second half of the season. Marteze is an every down back with capable hands if needed. There doesn’t appear to be much defense in this game and as long as Waller gets his full workload, which he should, then I think he makes for one of the safer cash game plays on the night.
Vince Mayle - FD 8100 DK 8300
Isiah Myers - FD 6600 DK 5900
Most of what needs to be said about Mayle & Myers was already mentioned under Luke Falk. Mayle is the top dog in a crazy pass heavy attack. When Halliday went down Mayle’s value plummeted, or so I thought. Falk’s first game wasn’t great, but he got better and in a hurry. He looks to have full command of the offense and Mayle is again the top Cougar target. Sometimes a new quarterback will develop better chemistry with a different receiver than the original starter. That doesn’t seem to be the case here so I feel Mayle is still the guy to target out of the group with Myers the next most consistent. That being said, I think you can play any WSU receiver, except maybe River Cracraft. River missed a little time with an injury and it looks like he is a tad behind the group right now. That could all change in a hurry so don’t afraid to run him out there in GPP’s. Tyler Baker filled in for Cracraft and out together some nice games. Baker’s price is low enough he can used in cash games, but he makes and excellent sneaky GPP play.
Victor Bolden - FD 6600 DK 6500
Jordan Villamin - FD 5900 DK 5300
Suddenly Oregon State has seemed to find its aerial attack over the past month or so. Last year Sean Mannion had a guy by the name of Brandin Cooks who basically had 10,000 receptions and the Beavers passed the ball all over the place and on everyone (except Stanford and I remember that game well). This year was a completely different story and it appeared the Beaver passing game and success of Mannion had a lot to do with Cooks. The offense struggled and the talented backfield duo of Storm Woods and Terron Ward carried the load early on. As Bolden and Villamin developed as the year went on the passing gained more traction. The Beavers lost Ward a couple weeks ago for the season due to injury and Woods is questionable for this contest. Even if Woods suits up I think you will see a pass heavy attack from Oregon St. Bolden has achieved 20+ fantasy points in four straight games. Villamin has surpassed 20 fantasy points 3 of his last four contests. I like Bolden & Villamin at home playing catch up against the mighty Ducks.
Chad Olsen - FD 3500 DK 2800
It’s very difficult to come up with a compelling argument to pick one tight end over another. I can tell you now I am not going to try. Olsen comes in as my favorite tight end as he is basically just as consistent as the next guy, but comes with more upside than most. His price should be about $500 more and he will find his way into every Draftkings lineup I have across all prize formats. On Fanduel I’m running a few different guys depending on my price need
