Daily Fantasy College Football Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings – Thursday 10/1/15
Daily Fantasy College Football Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - Thursday 10/1/15 This Thursday's slate of games should have a ton of action and with four games, there are more than enough options to fill out well-rounded lineups. We've got you covered for these college football picks. We're also selling lineups and cheatsheets for every CFB slate. This week they include 1 DraftKings and 2 FanDuel lineups 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 50% of our DraftKings lineups have hit in GPP games. Don't miss out. Click Here to Purchase Lineups and Cheatsheet Quarterback Quinton Flowers Before you jump off a ledge I haven’t forgotten about Paxton Lynch. He’s typically a great choice on any slate and tonight is no different, but I’m choosing to pivot from the crowd favorite in this spot. Looking at Flowers’ game log he has been a little up and down and has never put more than 17pts on the board minus his week 1 FCS opponent. That said, he runs the ball, often and what better team to get at home than Memphis. The Tigers, for all their firepower, have a hard time stopping opponents as well. Add in their pace of play and Flowers stands to see more possessions, which means more opportunity and I don’t think it’s being reflected in his price. Memphis will provide all the ample opportunity for Flowers to get his, but if he breaks a few look out world. I’m not sure the Bulls can keep pace with Memphis, but Flowers will run trying. Strong floor relative to price and has legit 5x upside. Obviously consider Paxton Lynch if you think you can afford him. Running Back Joseph Yearby The two obvious choices for our Thursday night slate are Yearby and Jahad Thomas. Yearby has received approximately 50% of the volume Thomas has, but has basically been twice as efficient. Yearby has a 41/311/3 stat line whereas Thomas stands at 80/394/4. Miami is expected to be in a much closer game compared to Temple so Yearby stands to see just as many touches as Thomas in this scenario. Thomas has the higher floor only in the fact it’s far less likely Charlotte can stop Temple compared to Cincy stopping Mia. Their ceilings are relatively close, but given the expected game flow Yearby may have more opportunity to hit his ceiling. At a lesser salary than Thomas, Yearby offers more value with very similar upside. They’re...
Daily Fantasy College Football Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings – Saturday Late 9/26/15
Daily Fantasy College Football Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - Saturday Late 9/26/15 The late slate of college football games have a ton to offer and with some recent injury news, there's quite a bit of value to go around. We've got you covered with college football picks and lineups to get you started. If you haven't already, check out our picks for the Saturday Early Slate. It's a big one. We're also selling lineups and cheatsheets for every CFB slate. This week they include 2 DraftKings and 2 FanDuel lineups 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 71% FanDuel lineups have moneyed in cash games, (45% in GPPs) and one won the FanDuel Redshirt tournament. Meanwhile 67% of our DraftKings lineups have hit in cash games (50% GPPs). Don't miss out. Click Here to Purchase Lineups and Cheatsheet 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...
Daily Fantasy College Football Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings – Saturday Early 9/26/15
Daily Fantasy College Football Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - Saturday Early 9/26/15 This is a massive slate of games and the college football gods (assuming you believe in such things, which we do) should be smiling down on the amount of potential scoring we've got. FanDuel and DraftKings scores could be in the upper register. We've got you covered with college football picks and lineups to get you started. We're also selling lineups and cheatsheets for every CFB slate. This week they include 2 DraftKings and 2 FanDuel lineups 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 71% FanDuel lineups have moneyed in cash games, (45% in GPPs) and one won the FanDuel Redshirt tournament. Meanwhile 67% of our DraftKings lineups have hit in cash games (50% GPPs). Don't miss out. Click Here to Purchase Lineups and Cheatsheet A quick note on these picks. We are always putting up plays relative to price. There are a million studs going on this slate. We are trying to narrow down the field for you when putting together lineups. I'm sure there will be an element of "Where's so and so? He's great." We don't want to offer up every player. In our cheatsheet we delve more into the why's behind certain players. But in this writeup we are trying to give players we think you can use in lineups who will perform well based on their price. Quarterback Trevone Boykin So I'll get the obvious out of the way; he's the most expensive player on the board and it’s always easy to recommend the best player at a position, but I'm here to tell you that others may shy away due to his hefty tag. It will be their loss. Even at his crazy price our system has Boykin as one of the single highest multiplier guy at any price at any position. I won't go as far to say he's a lock because that’s a tough camp to be in with a 10k salary, but if you can find value at other positions Boykin is one of the safest options. TCU just allowed SMU's Matt Davis to pass for 330 yards and now the Air Raid offense comes to town. No disrespect to my man Davis, but his passing ability is nowhere near that of Mahomes and Texas Tech. TCU sits as a 6.5 favorite with a total around 80, that’s eight-zero. A close game with a huge total translates to the Horned Frogs' star possibly putting together his best game yet. If you read our ebook on CFB DFS you know there's...
Daily Fantasy College Football Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings – Thursday-Friday 9/24/15
Daily Fantasy College Football Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - Thursday-Friday 9/24/15 It's an interesting Thursday-Friday slate in college football. We've got a mini, three game slate with a could of potentially high-scoring games. Plus FanDuel is running a PAC-10 Conference Showcase that starts Friday and goes into the night on Saturday. We've got plays for both, plus lineups and cheatsheets to give you an edge over the competition. We're also selling lineups and cheatsheets for every CFB slate. This week they include 1 DraftKings and 1 FanDuel Thursday Lineup and 1 FD Friday Conference Showcase 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 71% FanDuel lineups have moneyed in cash games, (45% in GPPs) and one won the FanDuel Redshirt tournament. Meanwhile 67% of our DraftKings lineups have hit in cash games (50% GPPs). Don't miss out. Click Here to Purchase Lineups and Cheatsheet Quarterback Paxton Lynch Lynch and the rest of the Memphis Tigers are sitting at 3-0 after a thrilling victory over Bowling Green 44-41 last week. As I mentioned on the Big 3 DFS Show podcast, Memphis has a sneaky good offense with the ability to score some points. The fantasy rub with Memphis is they have a ton of different guys that touch the ball so it's hard to capture all the production on a game-to-game basis. The guy who touches the ball the most, essentially every offensive snap, is Lynch and compared to your other options I think you are going to have to find a way to get him in your lineups. Lynch has shown the ability to get it done both through the air and on the ground. This week should be no different as the Bearcats don’t exactly have a stellar defense. Last week Cincinnati escaped with a narrow victory 37-33 over the vaunted Miami (OH) RedHawks and lost their starting QB in the process. Cincy has a very capable passing game, when healthy, so hopefully they can get things going in order for Lynch to hit his ceiling. FanDuel Conference Showcase Pick: Anu Solomon Running Backs Jeremy McNichols He's expensive on this short slate, but I don't see a way to really fade him with so few other options at the running back position. McNichols has been an absolute touchdown machine through the first three games scoring a total of eight. Typically touchdowns are volatile and it's hard to hang your hat on a guy that is dependent on scoring, but this doesn’t appear to be a fluke. Had there been a game where he went off for say 5...
Daily Fantasy College Football Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings – Saturday Late 9/19/15
Daily Fantasy College Football Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - Saturday Late 9/19/15 Ooh, we just love how the college football slates seem to go all weekend. What better way to pass the time waiting for NFL Sunday to start? This Saturday late slate has a bunch of fun games on it with high projected totals. Should be a scoring fest. We're also selling lineups and cheatsheets for every CFB slate. This week they include 2 DraftKings and 2 FanDuel lineups 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 our 12 of our 13 FanDuel lineups have moneyed in cash games, and one won the FanDuel Redshirt tournament. Meanwhile 75% of our DraftKings lineups have hit in cash games. Don't miss out. Click Here to Purchase Lineups and Cheatsheet Quarterback Jerrod Heard Last week Heard got the nod over the struggling Tyrone Swoops and led Texas to a much needed victory. The win came against Rice who isn't exactly a world beater, but hey, a win is a win. After getting embarrassed by Notre Dame Week 1, Charlie Strong needed this win and it seems unlikely he will get away from the guy who delivered the W. There are a couple concerns with Heard. One, he's far from a polished passer as evidenced by only 7 pass attempts last week. As a freshman he doesn’t have the experience and may have some ups and downs along the way. It's also possible he doesn’t have a firm grip on the starters gig, but I think he's there to stay. The good with Heard is he brings real athletic ability and a spark to this Longhorn offense. They also play host to California who has been known to score some points. In order for Texas to hang with Cal's offense Heard will have to move the chains by making plays with his feet. I'm more than happy hitching my wagon to a middling priced guy who could eclipse 100 yards rushing and is a threat to punch one in from six. Patrick Mahomes Texas Tech quarterbacks never seem to translate to NFL talent, but they sure do tear it up on Saturdays. Mahomes is the next guy in line to put up gaudy stats week in week out in the Red Raider offense. Coached by Cliff Kingsbury, a former Texas Tech quarterback who could chuck it all over the field himself, TT has continued to focus on a spread attack passing game. Mahomes has plenty of weapons at his disposal and with his ability to go through his progressions he is a tough nut...

Meanwhile 75% of our DraftKings lineups have hit in cash games. Don't miss out. Click Here to Purchase Lineups and Cheatsheet Quarterback Wes Lunt Wes Lunt entered the college scene as a top QB recruit and started as a true freshman for Oklahoma State. He has since transferred to Illinois and has steadily put up decent numbers. On the year Lunt has passed for 478 yards with 5 touchdowns and 1 pick. He hasn’t been called on all that much in the early going as Illinois chose to ease their way into the season with some favorable early matchups. This week they will travel to North Carolina to face Marquis Williams and the Tarheels. NC can be a little suspect on defense and they haven’t seen a QB with the skill set of Lunt thus far and may not the rest of the way. Vegas has set the line with Illinois being a 7pt dog with a total in low 60’s. That line bodes well for the Illinois signal caller. Excellent value on FD, but probably looking elsewhere on DK. Matt Johnson What I meant by looking elsewhere was looking at Matt Johnson. This cat has thrown for over 900 yards through two games and neither was against a powder puff opponent. Johnson seems to start off slow, but finds a rhythm and never looks back. Last week Johnson connected for a single touchdown pass late in the 2nd quarter, but still finished the day with 6 touchdown passes. Memphis, in my opinion, is largely underrated and specifically on the offensive side of the ball. Vegas pegged the total just above 80, which clearly indicates the type of opportunity to be found in this game. Johnson has plenty of receivers to catch the ball and should find himself attempting north of 50 passes once again. There is simply too much opportunity in this one. ...
