Daily Fantasy College Football Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings – Thursday-Friday 10/15/15-10/16/15
Daily Fantasy College Football Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - Thursday-Friday 10/15/15-10/16/15 Really exciting Thursday-Friday slate in college football this week. Some big offenses going as well as a couple of solid defensive matchups. We've got you covered for the short slate. We're also selling lineups and cheatsheets for every CFB slate. This week they include 1 Thursday FanDuel, 1 Friday FanDuel and 1 DraftKings lineup along with a cheatsheet of write ups on a number of different players. They are $5 and are separate from our membership subscription. This season of our 74% of our FanDuel lineups have moneyed in cash games, and one won the FanDuel Redshirt tournament. Meanwhile 60% of our DraftKings lineups have hit in cash games. Don't miss out. Click Here to Purchase Lineups and Cheatsheet Quarterback Brandon Doughty Doughty is the logical choice for your Thursday only slates and I would imagine he will be a very heavy start. Typically I would avoid paying this price for a one dimensional quarterback as they tend to deviate more from their mean compared to dual threat quarterbacks, but your other options are much less appealing. As I have mentioned previously, with short slates I tend to shift a little towards total point expectation and worry less about Pts/$. In other words, if Doughty drops a 45 spot it will be very difficult to cash without him. That being said, I still think Doughty offers the highest floor on a Pts/$ basis compared to the other options. You could argue Towles is a better value play, but the total point difference makes it hard to get away from Doughty. WKU is a 32pt road favorite with a total around 68 so even though the scoring is expected to be lopsided there should still be plenty of it. Doughty has thrown 19 TD’s in his last 5 games and given the matchup with North Texas another 4-5 touchdown game could be on the menu. Greg Ward Jr. Another short slate and another quarterback you can’t afford to fade. Like Doughty, Ward is the clear choice at quarterback, but unlike Doughty is far more safe given his dual threat ability. Houston’s offense centers around Ward as he leads the team in passing, rushing, and touchdowns. He can even be considered their primary goal line back. He is a capable passer, but his ability to break contain and gain yards on the ground is the real asset we are paying for here. Houston travels to Tulane as 17pt favorites with a total in the low 60’s, which offers a decent team projection for the Cougars. Ward is to the point where unless it is a really tough matchup...
Daily Fantasy College Football Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings – Saturday Late 10/10/15
Daily Fantasy College Football Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - Saturday Late 10/10/15 This is a very interesting slate of games. After you read our QB plays you are going to see why we think you can load up on the other positions. We're also selling lineups and cheatsheets for every CFB slate. This week they include 2 DraftKings and 1 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 50% of our DraftKings lineups have hit in GPP games. Don't miss out. Click Here to Purchase Lineups and Cheatsheet Quarterback Kent Myers Who? Kent Myers, starting quarterback for Utah State, that’s who. I was quite tempted to run Myers last week, but considering he hadn’t played many snaps thus far and Utah St. didn’t have an offensive juggernaut under Chuckie Keeton, it seemed far too risky for cash games. It’s a shame because Myers paid handsomely with 37.6 points on Draftkings. HIs price climbed a bit and for good reason, but this week’s matchup at Fresno State is just as advantageous for Myers. It may be difficult to expect him to match last week’s totals, but with a sub 6k price tag his rushing should pay the way by itself. Myers is an excellent cash play on Draftkings Saturday night. James Summers It’s not often you will see a backup quarterback included in my weekly article, but Summers appears to be an extreme exception to the rule. There is no official word who will start for the Pirates this week, but it was Summers who came on in relief the past two weeks and led ECU to victories. In doing so he also put up impressive stats scoring 7 total touchdowns (4 rushing) along with 517 total yards (254 rushing), which averages out to approximately 37 points per game. On FanDuel Summers will cost you a kool $4500 making him essentially a must start on that site. You need to follow news a bit here, but it appears it should be all systems go for this dynamic playmaker. Running Back Tyler Ervin Ervin is a chalk play on Draftkings, but he should be considering what he means to San Jose’s offense. By that I mean he is San Jose’s offense. Ervin will lead the Spartans into Nevada-Las Vegas to take on the Runnin Rebels as a small road favorite at -2.5 with a game total around 50. Through five weeks Ervin is averaging just under 25 carries per game...
Daily Fantasy College Football Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings – Saturday Early 10/10/15
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. Click Here to Purchase Lineups and Cheatsheet 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...

Daily Fantasy College Football Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - Thursday 10/8/15 Really exciting Thursday-Friday slate in college football this week. Some big offenses going as well as a couple of solid defensive matchups. We've got you covered for the short slate. We're also selling lineups and cheatsheets for every CFB slate.

Click Here to Purchase Lineups and Cheatsheet Quarterback Greg Ward Jr. Ward was our top quarterback play last week and dude was Aces right out of the gate. Ward finished the game with 273 yards passing and 182 on the ground with 3 touchdowns. He didn’t pass for a touchdown and still hit value going away. That’s the kind of game we look for in our cash game QB’s. Guys with the ability to score in multiple ways are more immune to matchup deficiencies. Ward is an elite dual threat quarterback with a juicy matchup against the defensively challenged SMU Mustangs. Matt Davis is arguably the better Pts/$ play at the position and had this been a larger slate I may have leaned Davis for my cash games. As it stands I don’t think you need to save the money and that makes Ward one of the safest plays on the entire slate. Running Back Ito Smith As I like to do each week I offer someone who may not be as well-known or simply flying under the radar a bit and this week Smith fits the mold. Smith only has 45 carries on the year, hardly appealing for a running back, but Ito is also a regular part of the passing game. When evaluating productivity from the running back slot I tend to dismiss receptions since they are generally more volatile than carries. Of course that’s not always the case and I think that’s the situation we have with Smith. Southern Miss makes their bones through the air and given their underdog status I think Smith’s versatility should allow him to stay on the field. He is cheap on both sites, also a strong factor why he is being mentioned, so he provides salary relief and a decent floor relative to price. Injury Update: Keep an eye on Devon Johnson and his availability for this week's game. If he is out Tony Pittman becomes a strong play...
Daily Fantasy College Football Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings – Saturday Late 10/3/15
Daily Fantasy College Football Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - Saturday Late 10/3/15 The late slate has plenty of talent. And it seems to be all about the running backs. Rough waters, but we've got you covered. We've also got picks for the Saturday CFB slate as well as Week 4 NFL 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 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...
Daily Fantasy College Football Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings – Saturday Early 10/3/15
Daily Fantasy College Football Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - Saturday Early 10/3/15 Ooh baby, this is going to be a good one. There are some games with monster over/unders and it is going to take a ton of points out there on the sites. We've also got picks for the short Thursday CFB slate as well as Week 4 NFL picks. We're also selling lineups and cheatsheets for every CFB slate. This week they include 2 DraftKings and 3 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 Greg Ward Jr. I’ll get to Russell in a second, but first let me explain why Ward is arguably the better play. Ward & Co. take their game on the road to face the high flying offense from Tulsa. Quick note; Tulsa is one of the few sports teams whose nickname is not plural, Tulsa Golden Hurricane to be exact. Alright back to business. Tulsa finds themselves in shootouts quite often since they score on anyone and stop no one. Ward is a duel threat quarterback who took over last year and hasn’t looked back since. This is another situation where there is very little star power and Ward is called on often to simply make things happen. Ward leads the team in passing, rushing, and scoring. His floor is raised considerably given his rushing ability matched with a game total in the low 80’s. He offers a very comparable floor and ceiling compared to Russell, but at a lower salary. Seth Russell If it weren’t for Ward’s also amazing matchup Russell would have easily been atop this list and I wouldn’t blame you one bit if you preferred Russell to Ward. For starters Vegas set the opening total at 87 and it has already climbed to 89. Something tells me that number is still too low for these teams. Last week Tech took on TCU and both teams combined for over 100 points (55-52 TCU). Clearly TCU has a high powered offense, but Baylor may possess an even more dangerous offense. Russell doesn’t have the same rushing ability as Boykin, but he is arguably the better passer and outside of Josh Doctson has more weapons at his disposal. As crazy as this may sound the floor for Russell could be 400/5 in this game. This could easily be Russell’s...
