Daily Fantasy College Football Picks for DraftKings – Week 14
Daily Fantasy College Football Picks for DraftKings - Week 14 The final week of CFB has arrived and it is with a heavy hand I type this week's article. It’s Championship Week and all eyes will surely be on Oklahoma vs Texas, the rematch, and of course, the one-man wrecking crew, Kyler Murray. Can the Sooners avenge their only loss to make their case for the final spot in the coveted playoff. Will Ohio State remain steady against a sneaky Northwestern team. Bama will remain perfect so no worries there. This is a difficult slate to navigate with so many marquee players available, but not enough salary to roster them all. Let's get after it. Quarterback Darriel Mack Jr. -UCF DK 6800 Opponent Memphis Team Total - 32.5 This is by far the easiest choice you will make Saturday. Mack is not as much of a bargain salary as one would hope, but given the matchup and skill set, it’s a no-brainer. Mack will be replacing McKenzie Milton who has been lost for the season as a result of a gruesome injury. In all seriousness, we wish him the best in his recovery as his playing career as a whole is in jeopardy. Mack is nowhere near the passer Milton was, but he runs and runs, then runs some more. In his last start, Mack ran the ball 22 times compared to 20 pass attempts. That was against East Carolina and not the high powered offense of Memphis. Central Florida is going to turn Mack loose from start to finish in this one in hopes to preserve the perfect season. I would imagine he will be a popular play and not one you want to go against the grain. Ryan Willis -Virginia Tech DK 5700 Opponent Marshall Team Total - 27.75 While I see Mack being a heavy start I don't see many people on Willis. Especially after his last two outings and Virginia Tech as a whole. The Hokies have seemingly fallen apart from ACC contender to bust. Willis has generally been very steady doing just enough through the air and with his legs. The past couple weeks haven't been very pretty. Against Miami’s tough defense is one thing, but last week against Virginia was especially disconcerting. The Hokies have an implied total of 27.5 so the production is there to be had and most of what Virginia Tech does is through Willis. Superflex option only. Running Back Greg McCrae -UCF DK 7000 Opponent Memphis Team Total - 32.5 Out of nowhere, Greg McCrae has become the stud back for the undefeated Knights. Central Florida uses a rotation of backs which was led by Adrian Killins,...
Daily Fantasy College Football Picks for DraftKings – Week 13
Daily Fantasy College Football Picks and Betting Spotlight (Premium) for DraftKings - Week 13 Gobble gobble gobble everyone! This is the most amazing week in terms of football, both College and the NFL, and hands down the best holiday weekend of the year. We have two action-packed slates to break down so I'm about to cram a ton of data into this article like sitting down at Thanksgiving dinner. Seriously folks, is there anything better then slowly slipping into an FIC, aka Food Induced Coma, while watching foosball? I didn't think so. The highlight of the entire weekend arrives Friday night at 8pm when Oklahoma takes on West Virginia. Sadly Draftkings split this game off into a two-game slate Friday night. The salaries on the two-game slate are little softer than what we would expect for these players on a main slate so it should make for an exciting slate despite being only two games. Due to the amount of games and two full slates I will provide players from both nights, but with a condensed summary. Quarterback Friday Desmond Ridder -Cincinnati DK 6800 Opponent East Carolina Team Total - 25 Ridder checks all the boxes of a cash quarterback. He runs a little, he throws a little, he’s a healthy 19 point favorite, and the salary is forgiving. East Carolina has been putting points on the board lately, but the Bearcats are a step up in the defensive competition so we’ll see. Personally, I don't think 51 is near enough points to contain this game and pairing Ridder with Warren at running back puts your lineup to gobble up most of Cincinnati's scoring. In fact, the pair of Ridder and Warren account for approx 79% of Cincinnati's offensive touchdowns. Blake Barnett -South Florida DK 6200 Opponent UCF Team Total - 34.5 It feels really gross rostering Barnett after last week’s misery of a game against my Hootie Owls and I certainly won’t be playing him in cash games. That said, the upside is tremendous. When Blake is on his game he is running and throwing his way up and down the field. Blake was coming off an injury that forced him to miss a game then went on the road against an underrated Owls defense, some rust was to be expected. The Bulls are 14 point dogs with a total of 68. This is a rivalry game being playing on Blake’s home turf. If there is a game Blake can put it altogether fantasy wise, this is it. Saturday David Blough -Purdue DK 8500 Opponent Indiana Team Total - 34 Purdue has been one of the hottest teams in the country over the second half of the season...
Daily Fantasy College Football Picks for DraftKings – Week 12
Daily Fantasy College Football Picks for DraftKings - Week 12 Turkey time is right around the corner, but we’re not there yet and we have plenty of football to digest befofe we can move onto the turkey. Im sort of getting tired of saying this, but Alabama is really good, then there are a handfull of teams lining up to be abused by Bama in the Chip. Draftkings has been doing a better job with pricing and last week knocked it out of the part of the game selection. The pricing is still solid, but not as many excitiing games to pick through. Nevertheless were here to sift through it all, find the hidden gems, and help you structure your winning lineups. Quarterback Ian Book -Notre Dame DK 9000 Opponent Syracuse Team Total - 37 Book is back!! The savior has returned from a one-game absence and will once again lead the undefeated Irish come Saturday afternoon. This week is an extra tasty matchup against a solid, but overrated Syracuse team. Looking as this line of 10.5 and I say no way Cuse can even stay within 15. The game is being played in Yankee Stadium so geographically speaking Syracuse would operate as the home team, but it's not the cozy confines of the Carrier Dome and this team isn't the same playing elsewhere. Book is going to pick up where he left off by throwing and running for touchdowns. I'll be pairing him with Williams for cash to help hedge against running bad on the touchdown front. I'd love to tell you the total of 65 isn't enough, but I'm not sure Syracuse will be able to hold up their end of the deal. Irish big. Jamie Newman -Wake Forest DK 7100 Opponent Pittsburgh Team Total - 27 There are a few ways to go at this price point and I wouldn't blame you, but Newman is the guy for me. Taking over for the injured Sam Hartman, Newman was sensational last week. After attempting just 15 passes all year Newman chucked it up 33 times last week completing 22 of them for 297 yards and three scores. He also added 44 yards on the ground on 14 attempts. In his first action of the season against Notre Dame during week four, Newman had 73 yards and a score on eight carries. It's hard to gauge what kind of rushing production to expect given our small sample size, but what we can see looks encouraging on that front and the reason Newman is a slight tick above the other options in this price range. Vegas is setting the total at 61, which feels low, but it's probably just...
Daily Fantasy College Football Picks and Betting Spotlight (Premium) for DraftKings – Week 11 – 11/10/18
Daily Fantasy College Football Picks and Betting Spotlight (Premium) for DraftKings - Week 11 - 11/10/18 We’re nearing the final stretch of the college football season with division and rivalry games heating up so sit down buckle up and enjoy the ride. Alabama looks as dominant as ever, blanking LSU 29-0. Michigan finally looks like the team I thought they were heading into the season. Texas dropped a heart-breaker to West Virginia, Oklahoma kept hopes alive, and Clemson is going to crush the souls of their fans when they actually have to play a decent team. Oklahoma runs the table to get in the playoff, only to lose 47-17 to Alabama. Michigan runs the table, beats Clemson 27-24 then loses to Alabama 34-0. You heard it here first. Quarterback Brock Purdy -Iowa State DK 8200 Opponent Baylor Team Total - 32.75 This one is easy-peasy: Brock all day for cash. The guy is just too good. Since taking over as the starter, Brock’s lowest fantasy output was 21.7, not a bad floor. Purdy has tapered off his rushing a bit since going for 84 yards in his first start, but he’s still logging double-digit attempts so the potential is still there. Iowa State is a healthy 14 point favorite with a total of 51. Iowa State has been playing really good ball lately with four consecutive wins including wins over West Virginia, Texas Tech, Oklahoma State. The 51 feels a little low as Baylor has also been playing inspired ball after a come from behind win against Oklahoma State. The Cyclones are a three-headed monster, for the most part, with Purdy, Montgomery, and Butler accounting for the lion's share of production. As much as I like Purdy for cash he’s not really on my tournament radar. I like stacking the Cyclones for cash, but there are other options with more upside for your tournament lineups. Charlie Brewer -Baylor DK 5200 Opponent Iowa State Team Total - 18.25 At the time of this writing, it's still a little fuzzy how the playing time will be divided up, but Brewer looks to be the favorite to start after his strong relief performance last week against Oklahoma State. Brewer has been up and down most of the season splitting reps with Jalan McClendon, but has consistently been the more productive player. Brewer leads the team in rushing attempts and tied for the lead with four rushing touchdowns. Baylor will have its work cut out for them against a white-hot Iowa State team, but at just $5200 and his little bit of rushing production, he’s very close to a cash play. As I mentioned above Baylor comes into the game as 14 point...

Daily Fantasy College Football Picks and Betting Spotlight (Premium) for DraftKings - Week 10 Week 10, wow this season is flying by. We have our first set of rankings and if you've been following along we really aren't surprised by the current top four. I warned Texas to be careful, but they couldn't stop the Cowboys from crushing their playoff hopes. This week, Georgia will need to get by Kentucky to keep their hopes alive and at 8pm EST we have the battle of the Titans: Bama vs LSU. I'm curious what happens to LSU if they lose. This week, Notre Dame is on the watch list. Northwestern is going to give them more trouble than people think. On the fantasy side of things, Draftkings has put together a monster of a slate with potentially multiple high-scoring games and reasonable pricing. Let's get after it! Quarterback Eric Dungey -Syracuse DK 8400 Opponent Wake Forest Team Total - 40 Y’all have no idea much of a struggle it is to put Dungey in this coveted top spot. I have an epic run bad streak going when it comes to rostering Dungey. The guy is essentially a lock for 40 points, but weird things happen just about every time he makes his way into my lineup. The matchup and salary here are just so insanely plum I need to put my emotional concerns aside because we could be staring a 50 point week in the face. Wake Forest would allow 500 yards of offense to a high school team right now so I don't anticipate Syracuse having much trouble moving the ball. While Wake Forest has struggled mightily on defense the same cannot be said for their offense. The Demon Deacons have had success moving the ball and scoring against just about everyone not named Clemson including last week’s 56 spot against Louisville. Vegas has the total at 75, but i think that's a little light as i think could see almost 75 in the first half. Dungey’s dual threat ability will be on full display for 60 minutes come Saturday and you won't want to be late for the party. Very simply put, Dungey checks all the boxes and the matchup checks all the boxes. Way too much upside to pass on him. Nathan Elliott -North Carolina DK 6000 Opponent Georgia Tech Team Total - 28 There are a few guys I think will have a better game than Elliott, but not when we consider the price. Now, I will be very hard-pressed to get away from Dungey in the quarterback slot, but Elliott is certainly someone we should consider for our Superflex. He’s had an up and down...
