Daily Fantasy College Football Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - Saturday Early 10/10/15

Couple of interesting games on this early Saturday slate, while others could be more of the ground and pound type. Don't think we will see scores as high as last Saturday's, but there is plenty of value out there.

We're also selling lineups and cheatsheets for every CFB slate. This week they include 2 DraftKings and 2 FanDuel lineup along with a cheatsheet of write ups on a number of different players. They are $5 and are separate from our membership subscription. This season of our 74% of our FanDuel lineups have moneyed in cash games, and one won the FanDuel Redshirt tournament. Meanwhile 61% of our DraftKings lineups have hit in cash games. Don't miss out.

Quarterback

Patrick Mahomes
The quarterback options, as a whole, are underwhelming, but Mahomes is priced at the bottom of the top tier with similar upside as the other big boys. Texas Tech has had a tough couple weeks and should be licking their chops at the prospects of getting Iowa St. at home. The Red Raiders are 11pt favorites with a game total around 74. Tech has been a wide open passing team for several years now and while the distribution is randomly spread each week it all starts with Mahomes. He has proven he can get it done on the ground as well so I don’t see Iowa St. being able to bottle him up. I like the projected points and I like Tech back home with a nice matchup after back to back games against TCU & Baylor. Mahomes is money well spent.

Blake Frohnapfel
Before you look at this dudes game log I advise you to avoid Colorado and Notre Dame. Well done, now let’s breakdown why Blake makes for a solid cash game play. Playing Blake in this spot is about opportunity. UMass is roughly a two touchdown dog, but with a game total near 80 they are still projected to score 33 team points. UMass’ offense favors the pass to begin with and now they are expected to be playing from behind most of the day, which should translate to a ton of dropbacks for Frohnapfel. Pocket passers are the most susceptible to laying an egg and his price is discounted as such, but this game simply offers enough opportunity for Frohnapfel that it’s unlikely he bricks.

Running Back

Leonard Fournette
To Fournette or not to Fournette, that is the question. I say Fournette and I’m not sure what your argument could be against playing him. Sure, his price is sky high, but even at 10k he has hit value every game. LSU goes the way of Fournette and they’re not trying to fool anyone. They need to put a drive together and you guessed it, they hand the ball to Leonard. They need to work out of their own end zone, they hand the ball to Leonard. They need to pick up a 3rd down, they hand the ball to Leonard. He’s the best back in the country and until proven otherwise is also the best cash game fantasy option on any slate at any price. Nuff said.

Jordan Canzeri
I’ll start with the obvious, he is under-priced on FanDuel compared to his production. I understand Daniels Jr. has returned from injury, but he has been in the mix a couple weeks now and it’s Canzeri getting it done for the Hawkeyes. JC’s volume has largely been consistent since establishing himself as the main back. In 3 of his last 4 games Canzeri has averaged 25 carries with the outlier being his 12 carry game against Pitt. Let it be duly noted he had 7 receptions in that the same Pitt game so it looks like the Hawkeye’s are committed to getting him the ball one way or the other. Iowa should once again use Canzeri in multiple ways leading to another heavy workload.

Wide Receiver

Tajae Sharpe
I don’t think Sharpe is discounted to the extent of Canzeri, but based on statistical data he should be above the mid 7k range. Sharpe leads the NCAA in targets per game at 16.5, which can safely be considered a lot. Tajae will be given every opportunity to hit value in this one with both teams running fast paced tempos. UMass enters this week’s game as 14pt dogs with a total around 80 suggesting Sharpe may even see an increase to his already sick usage rate. UMass will be bombs away all game and Sharpe is too much to cover for four quarters. His price puts him as one of the safest cash game receivers on the board.

Roger Lewis
Sharpe’s counterpart, Roger Lewis, could be in store for a huge game himself as he also averages double digit targets per game at 11.5. Lewis has had a couple clunkers, like a needed a reminder, but when he’s on it’s hard to question his lofty tag. In lewis’ 3 good games he has 32 receptions for 662 yards and 6 touchdowns. In his other two games Lewis has 8 receptions for 98 yards and 0 scores. Spending up on Lewis and catching him on an off day can surely sink your ship, but this matchup is much closer to the opponents of his 3 quality starts opposed to that of his two poor contests. I like the game flow here and feel confident spending up for Lewis, although more so on FanDuel compared to Draftkings.

Tight End

Rodney Mills
The enigmatic Mills appears primed to return to the gridiron and that could mean fruitful tight end returns. Mills is most similar to Tyler Higbee, but I’m not not willing to go there just yet. Against Colorado Mills didn’t record a stat, but the following week against Temple he finished with 5 receptions for 104 yards and two scores. When it comes to Tight Ends this week there aren’t many options that offer the upside of Mills. He can be considered on Draftkings as well at the 3k minimum.
