Daily Fantasy College Football Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings – Saturday Early 10/31/15
Daily Fantasy College Football Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - Saturday Early 10/31/15 Another packed Saturday in college football land. Some really high scoring games could be coming your way. We're also selling lineups for every CFB slate. This week they include 2 DraftKings and 3 FanDuel lineups. 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. Click Here to Purchase Lineups Quarterback Matt Davis Love me Matt Davis against Tulsa. If I could play him twice I would and I wrote to FanDuel complaining he was not part of their early slate. Davis is basically a lesser Greg Ward Jr. and is the perfect fit for cash games. The ability to pass, but most dangerous on the ground. SMU has been able to score most weeks this year with only a couple down games sprinkled in. I don’t view a home game against Tulsa as one the Mustangs, or Davis I should say, will struggle to move the ball. Tulsa hasn’t been particularly strong on defense and were shredded by the aforementioned Greg Ward Jr. SMU is a small home dog getting 3, but what has me salivating is the 77 total. A close game with a bunch of points is always a nice scenario to pluck players from, but I feel it’s an especially nice scenario for guys like Davis. Davis has been involved in 20 of the 26 or 77% of the offensive touchdowns the Mustangs have scored this season. SMU is projected for 37 team points. You can do the math, but it translates to major opportunity for Davis. Brandon Doughty I hate spending this kind of dough on a pure passer and especially in a game where Doughty plays as a 24 point favorite, but the other solid options aren’t much cheaper. There is also evidence to suggest blowouts shouldn’t scare you off stud players like Doughty. WKU is projected for roughly 45 team points and in an offense that starts with Doughty I would have to imagine he will do plenty of damage before possibly giving way to the backups. There are a couple other ways to go, but there are few big money options as safe as Doughty given the matchup. Starting your cash lineups with this guy is a solid place to start albeit an expensive one. Running Back Akrum Wadley Wadley has already been named the starter for this week’s matchup against Maryland even though Daniels Jr. is healthy. Wadley’s performance last week...

Click Here to Purchase Lineups Quarterback JT Barrett The day is here, it’s finally here and thanks to Urban holding on to a beat hand Barrett’s salary is probably 15-20% below where it will be in a couple weeks. Barrett seemingly came out of nowhere last season to replace the injured Braxton Miller and suddenly found himself in the Heisman conversation. Then Barrett got hurt and the Buckeye QB saga began. Cardale Jones opened the year as the starter when most assumed it would Barrett under center in The Shoe opening weekend. Jones, in my opinion, was carried by championship caliber team and has finally been given the hook for Barrett to carry OSU to a title run. If you you’re catching a hint of giddiness in my writing it’s because giddy at the chance to buy Barrett shares at such a discount. The Buckeyes are going to hang a big number on Rutgers. Clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose. Seth Collins Collins has a nice matchup this week against a somewhat forgiving Colorado defense. Playing the game in Corvallis should add that little extra bump to Collins’ run game, which is critical to his overall success. Depending on your source the game is a pick or Colorado as a slight favorite with a total around 60. Collins represents such a large chunk of what the Beavers do on offense that when they are projected for 30 or so points he has a great chance to hit value at his middling price. On FanDuel I will stick with Barrett for my cash games, but on Draftkings Collins’ sub 7k salary makes him a perfect match with Barrett at quarterback. Pair them to victory. Running Back Leonard Fournette Running back is very top heavy on the late slate and choosing between the elite could be the difference between eating steak or canned ham. Dalvin Cook is arguably the most electric back in the country, but his nagging hamstring injury could mean just two carries before he leaves the game. I’m not considering Booker, but Elliot can also be considered among the elite. I’m leaning Fournette for one reason and that would be JT Barrett. I think Ohio St will score plenty of...

Baylor’s great. They’re expected to score 50+ points. Now, let begin the discussion on how to fit his salary and why he still represents strong value at this price. The study we illustrated in our CFB eBook clearly indicated high end quarterbacks that have the ability to pass and run deviate considerably less from their mean than any other style QB. Russell fits that mold for sure. The value at the skill positions is far thinner than your typical Saturday early slate, which generally lowers the cash point in the large 50/50’s, making Russell’s projected point total a little more valuable. There are just enough salary relief guys out there making Russell a possibility. Plus, you have to admit it’s fun watching him score every 2.7 plays. Marquise Williams WIlliams fits a similar mold as Russell whereas he posses the ability to both pass and run making him more difficult to contain and thus raising his floor. North Carolina is not projected for nearly as many points as Baylor, but considering Russell probably won’t be under center for all of Baylor’s points, their opportunity is arguably similar relative to price. Typically their price difference would not be enough to get me away from Russell, but this slate does not offer a plethora of high quality options making the extra $$$ you save on Williams a difference maker. Williams presents more risk than Russell, but Virginia’s defense greatly reduces the likelihood of Williams laying an egg. Running Back Saquon Barkley This game has a low total and Penn State’s offense has been pretty much, well, unproductive. Barkley, however, has been a real bright spot for the Nittany’s and after missing a couples due to injury ripped off 194 yards against the Buckeyes. He didn’t find the endzone which has been a problem for Penn State all year, but Maryland has shown the ability to be the magic potion for offensively challenged team. Running back is fairly thin Saturday morning and I think Barkley is clear cash play standout for me. I will have him in most of my cash games on FanDuel, but...
Daily Fantasy College Football Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings – Thursday-Friday 10/22
Daily Fantasy College Football Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - Thursday-Friday 10/22/15-10/23/15 Another Thursday-Friday slate coming at you and we've got you covered. Bunch of solid teams and players to choose from. We're also selling lineups for every CFB slate. This week they include 2 FanDuel and 1 DraftKings lineup. 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 60% of our DraftKings lineups have hit in cash games. Don't miss out. Click Here to Purchase Lineups Quarterback Paxton Lynch Tulsa is a heaping pile of defensive garbage so I think Paxton Lynch will have his way, but his salary is somewhat restrictive and especially on Draftkings. If you are finding his salary difficult to fit you can look at Taylor Lamb, but even at a lower tag he presents a little more risk compared to Lynch. Memphis is projected for the highest team total and Lynch touches the ball more than anyone. The game being played in Tulsa should allow Tulsa to put some points on the board themselves. I probably shift to Lamb on Draftkings and or if I am looking for more upside, but your odds on cash play is Lynch. Running Back Jahad Thomas Outside of Paxton Lynch I’m not sure there is a safer way to get your money in than with Thomas. Temple could stumble a little in this one as East Carolina poses a tough road challenge under the Thursday night lights. That being said, Temple’s defense should keep this one close if the offense does sputter and either way Thomas should get a hefty workload. He is pricey for sure and this game could be a relatively low scoring affair, but the other backs have similar concerns without the locked in volume. Temple is 6-0 on the back of Thomas and will look to utilize their prized back win, lose or draw. Wide Receiver Kenny Lawler At first glance it looks as if Lawler is dependent on touchdowns and while that’s technically true don’t think his 8 scores in 6 games is a fluke. Jared Goff, Lawler’s quarterback, is arguably the most NFL ready quarterback in the nation which can make up for a fair amount of deficiencies in an offense or receiver. Lawler figures as a fringe NFL talent, but that’s good enough in college when paired with a guy like Goff. His role in the offense is secure and he is the lead dog for the Bears pass happy offense. He sort of struggled last week against Utah, but most do. UCLA won’t hand it...
Daily Fantasy College Football Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings – Saturday Late 10/17/15
Daily Fantasy College Football Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - Saturday Late 10/17/15 Boykin, Doctson, TCU oh my, Whenever these guys are around you know some scoring is going down. We're also selling lineups for every CFB slate. This week they include 2 DraftKings and 2 FanDuel lineups. 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. Click Here to Purchase Lineups Quarterback Trevone Boykin Boykin is certainly making his case for a Heisman with a nice comeback win against K-State. An aspect that has made an impact on Boykin’s DFS value has been the poor performance of TCU’s defense. They have been allowing 27.5 points per game putting Boykin in track meet situations more often. SMU, Texas Tech, and K-State combined for 134 points against TCU. I don’t think Iowa State has the offense to drop 35, but they should score and score enough to keep Boykin on the field. Boykin has the highest floor on the board making his salary money well spent. Anu Solomon On FanDuel I won’t be getting away from Boykin, but on Draftkings where two quarterbacks are utilized Anu makes for a nice middling play. His fantasy number wasn’t great in his first game back from injury, but you could argue he ran cold with touchdowns. They game also got out of hand quickly limiting the need for Anu to make plays. Zona is a touchdown favorite when they travel to Colorado and could be without Nick Wilson paving the way for Solomon to be the center of attention. I think we are getting a 10-15% discount on his price and with a juicy matchup he makes a nice cash game play. Running Back CJ Prosise Prosise has been dominant since taking over the starting gig. Even against Clemson where the Irish couldn’t get the run game going Prosise still found a way to get it done with 4/100/1 receiving. Last week against Navy he did it the ol fashioned way and ripped off 129 yards and 3 scores on just 21 carries. USC is in flux right now and it’s hard to say what kind of team will show up for the Trojans. Either way I trust in the Irish run game and the ability of Prosise. Some of the other elite backs should have nice games as well, but I think Prosise is right there with them in terms of production at a reduced price. Elijah Hood I would like to see more...
Daily Fantasy College Football Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings – Saturday Early 10/17/15
Daily Fantasy College Football Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - Saturday Early 10/17/15 Huge Saturday slate with a ton of awesome offenses vying for the "Who might put up 70 points" title. We've got you covered for this big one. We're also selling lineups for every CFB slate. This week they include 2 DraftKings and 2 FanDuel lineups. 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. Click Here to Purchase Lineups Quarterback Seth Russell He’s the most expensive quarterback for a reason and it’s a very good one. Baylor has arguably the most potent offense in the country and have been absolutely destroying teams. Basically, they have talent everywhere you look. Not necessarily NFL talent, but among the college ranks it seems like all their guys are combine all-stars. Russell takes care of the ball, makes good decisions, and can pull it down and run whenever needed. The only thing holding Russell back from putting up 50+ fantasy points on a weekly basis, is Russell. He rarely plays a whole game and still offers one of the highest floors relative to price. West Virginia will be one of the better teams Baylor has faced and possibly the best defense they have seen all year. Make no mistake about it, I don’t think WVU has much of a chance keeping up with Baylor, but they could hang around longer than most giving Russell more opportunity to produce. Either way I’m all-in on Russell as my top cash play. Chad Kelly Kelly had quite a tumultuous start to his college career, but it was his attitude and not his talent that was called into to question. After being dismissed from Clemson and spending a year at community college he transferred to Ole Miss and put the world on notice leading Ole Miss to back-to-back 70+ point games. Then he dropped the hammer with a road win against Bama, but followed that up with two poor performances. He got back on track last week, albeit against New Mexico State, but defensively speaking Memphis is pretty awful too. What they can do and what I hope they do, is put some points on the board. Ole Miss can play defense and especially at home, so Memphis may have more trouble than normal scoring, but they have done it against quality teams as well. Kelly seems to dominate bad teams and while Memphis isn’t bad they struggle mightily on defense. He presents more risk than Russell,...
