Meanwhile 67% of our DraftKings lineups have hit in cash games (50% GPPs). Don't miss out.

 

Quarterback

Chad Kelly
The only concern to this point is if there is still enough room on the bandwagon. Kelly has led Ole Miss to a perfect record, which includes two 70+ point games and a statement road win over Bama. In fact, I think you can safely argue they are the best team in the country and Kelly is a huge reason. It also helps the Rebels have one of the best wide out trios in Treadwell, Core, and Adeboyejo. Kelly has weapons galore at his disposal, a proven ability to score, and is coming in at less than elite prices. The game total is a meager 55, but as 25 point favorites they still project for around 40 points and it wouldn’t surprise me in the least if they hit the total in their own. Either way Kelly will almost certainly be the guy leading the rout.

Dak Prescott
Prescott needs little introduction so I’ll just get right to the DFS stuff. On FanDuel he offers the best floor of the high end quarterbacks. Had Adams not have a broken finger it would be close, but that’s an avoidable risk so let’s just avoid it for our cash games. Dak has shown that the more his team needs to hustle the more he runs. The more he runs the higher his floor gets. Going to Auburn won’t be easy, but that typically translates to more Dak. His DraftKings price may make things difficult so I may consider looking down a few notches depending if any punts emerge to help squeeze Dak’s salary in. Auburn is a 3 point favorite with a total just below 60. The ceiling is always there even though I don’t see this as being one of his best games, but there’s no denying his floor in this type of game.

 

Running Back

Nick Wilson
Look, I get it, he’s not Nick Chubb, but the way this dude can boogie makes his prices just silly. Zona hasn’t played anyone of real substance in the early going, but that will all change Saturday when #9 UCLA comes to town. Wilson has shown his ability to perform against stiffer competition so I think it’s a good thing they will likely find themselves in a dogfight against the Bruins. On the year Wilson has 5 touchdowns while averaging 7 YPC. He may not get 7 a clip against UCLA, but they did just lose Myles Jack, one of the best LB in the Pac-12 if not nation, so they may find it challenging to slow down Wilson. . I feel Wilson is mispriced on both sites making basically a must play in cash games, but can also be used in GPP’s.

Paul Perkins
Perkins, Wilson’s counterpart in this matchup, should continue his role against Arizona. Over the last two games Perkins has amassed 370 yards rushing on 44 carries along with 3 touchdowns. Week 1 for the Bruins was the Josh Rosen show, but Rosen has faded a bit and Perkins has been right there to pick up the slack. Coincidentally Arizona may be missing their best LB as well if Scooby Wright is unable to return from an injury. On the road in a big time conference game I think UCLA will want to keep the ball in the hands of the trusted Perkins as often as possible. Look for Double P to be involved heavily raising his floor making him an excellent cash game play.

Punt Plays
Dare Ogunbowale & Taiwan Deal: With news Clement will have surgery and miss several weeks both these guys are now firmly in play. Dare is cheaper and more effective so it seems he is the way to go for now. It’s hard to pass him up on DraftKings especially.

 

Wide Receiver

JuJu Schuster-Smith
This is an easy one, but we would probably lose credibility if we didn’t put JuJu at the top of the list. He is far and away the best receiver on the board and likely offers the highest floor of any receiver as well. You will need to pay up to get him, which may be the only argument for not playing him, but he’s the surest thing at the position. USC is coming off a tough home loss and apparently tried to fight each other after the game so you can bet with another Pac-12 game on the schedule the Trojans need to find their giddy up. Kessler is a quality passer, they have a strong run game, with a game total in the mid 60’s JuJu will have his opportunities to perform.

Christian Kirk
I don’t feel there are many high ceiling guys that offer a reasonable floor at the position on this slate. Basically there are a handful of talented receivers in the middle price range who either have a bad matchup or play in a crowded offense. Kirk offers reasonable safety among equally priced receivers. Kirk has received consistent targets throughout the year and seems to have a nice chemistry with Kyle Allen. Arkansas has suffered some injuries, tough losses, and their coach has had a few verbal disputes through the media. They’re not going to just roll over, A&M should be able to move the ball and Kirk figures to be a significant contributor.

 

Tight End

Hunter Henry
If you want to spend up at the position, and I’m not sure you do, Henry would be where to go. Like last week Henry will be the Hogs #1 target with Hatcher still sidelined. Mundt and Walley are two lawn darts to keep an eye on.
