Quarterback

Dak Prescott
Prescott has been somewhat underwhelming thus far, but still comes on as one of the safer options on the late slate. Quarterback, as a whole, is rather gross Saturday night. I would have preferred Watson, but with the anticipated rain forest it becomes risky playing his salary. While Dak hasn’t delivered the way he has in the past he still has a very low chance of being a total disaster. The game total is in the low 60’s and is expected to be reasonably close. Mississippi State has struggled to run the ball this year now that Josh Robinson has moved on to the NFL. You would think Dak would pick up the slack in the rushing department, but he really hasn’t. He still has the ability and does have a couple games this year with nice running totals. On the road against A&M the Bulldogs will need their leader to lead. Look for Dak to lead.

Sefu Liufau
I’m not totally sure how to pronounce his last name, but I can tell you it doesn’t stand for efficiency. Sefu has been sort of awful in real life, but good thing this is about fantasy performance and not draft stock. With all his deficiencies Sefu has still been okay from a fantasy perspective averaging 20 fantasy points in his last two contests. That’s certainly not record breaking production, but his sub 6k price on Draftkings makes him a very appealing play given the matchup. The Ducks are our of sorts right and now travel to Colorado to face a team they have absolutely embarrassed the past 3 meetings. The game total is near 70 with Oregon as a touchdown favorite. I'm not sure they can do it, but Colorado would love to kick Oregon when they’re down.

Running Back

Paul Perkins
Double P has been as cool as the backside of the pillow (Stuart Scott love) and has quietly scored 6 touchdowns in his last 3. Also in his last 3 games, Perkins has totaled 455 yards rushing on 68 carries. That works out to an average stat line of 23/150/2. Arizona State has been a little difficult to figure out this year, but I don’t think it matters in terms of Perkins expectations. UCLA is a ___ home favorite with a total near 60. His price has been holding steady on both sites making Perkins one of the better cash plays of the evening. The guy just gets it done.

Leonard Fournette
Ahhh, let’s talk about the elephant in the room, AKA Leonard Fournette. It’s not often you have a 10k running back who still stands to hit value. The only thing holding me back from plopping Fournette in every lineup combo I put out Saturday night is the fact LSU may suck the life out of Eastern Michigan during pre-game warmups. There’s no doubt Leonard will boogie when the lights come on, but at this price you need a whole lot of things to go right, especially for a running back. The late slate contains a fair amount of uncertainty so you can make an argument Fournette’s price tag is worth the safety even the multiplier projects lower than what’s typical for this guy. The tag may be too much for GPP so if you are going to pay up I would stick to just cash games this week.

Wide Receiver

Christian Kirk
Coming into the season it was Josh Reynolds who was expected to the lead the Aggies on the outside, but it has been Kirk to pace the receivers. Kirk has essentially doubled the production of Reynolds and appears to be the favorite target of quarterback Kyle Allen. This A&M will take on Dak Prescott and the Mississippi St. Bulldogs where they are roughly a touchdown home favorite with a game total in the low 60’s. Kirk has his best game of the year last week going off for 173 yards and two touchdowns on 8 receptions. It’s hard to say he should repeat that line, but he represents one of the most consistent receivers on the board with a strong pts/$ projection. I will look to get Kirk in most, if not all, my cash lineups.

Bralon Addison
In standard fashion I will offer you a receiver a little further down the pay grade. I would have had Artavis Scott in this spot, but the weather is supposed to be, well, as one weatherman put it, “two months of rain in the next 48 hours”. That sounds wet so I’ll take my chances with the Ducks top wide out in a game they desperately need to win. Oregon’s chances of the playoffs are gone, but their pride will take a serious hit if they lose to Colorado. Addison was already the Ducks top wide out, but given the amount of options they have it doesn’t translate to typical WR1 numbers. Byron Marshall is done for the year so Im willing to bet on Addison in this scenario. A game they must have where there should be plenty of points scored and I like his chances at 6k to hit value.

Tight End

Gus Walley
This play is more about saving money than it is an endorsement for Walley. Hooper is okay, but his production doesn’t warrant the tag. It’s basically the same for the entire tight end field. The production is so scattered and inconsistent your dollars will simply better spent elsewhere. Walley has just as good a chance at finding pay dirt as anyone other than maybe Hooper, but for 2k less.
