Cheat sheets for fantasy college football on FanDuel and Draftkings Listen - it'd be impossible to create a whole projection system for college football, but Casey is willing to sell his cash game lineups through DFSR. If you want to see how these plays and some others fit into lineups for FanDuel and DraftKings you can purchase three FanDuel lineups, three DraftKings lineups and a DraftKings mini-cheatsheet for $3 by clicking the PayPal button below. We're testing the waters here. If these are in demand, prices will go up considerably for next week. Quick note - these lineups are separate from our normal premium service because they are Casey's compensation for generously writing these articles. Thanks! Quarterbacks Connor Halliday - FD 9900 DK 7700 What's not to love? I don’t need to get into too much detail here. Halliday is a regular recommend and I play him almost whenever I can. It simply doesn’t get any safer than Connor. Oregon can sometimes limit opposing offenses, but I assure you Halliday will be passing right up until the final tick off the clock. He's a "Set it and forget it" type of play. Jared Goff - FD 7300 DK 6500 Goff is a pro-ready QB taking on a Zona team that hasn’t seen a passer as qualified as Goff all year. This should be a wild one with scoreboard light builds popping off all night. Cal's run game is suspect at best so the Bears will rely on the arm of Goff to keep them in the game and possibly win. They spread the ball around quite a bit so I really think Zona is going to have their hands full trying to slow down their passing game. Strong value here. Running Backs Alex Collins - FD 6800 DK 6300 Jonathan Williams - FD 6500 DK 5600 Yup, both Hog backs on here again! Why? Unlike Washington State, Arkansas doesn’t pass the ball. When you have backs like these two you don’t have to pass. Last week the Hog Bros combined for 357/6 – whoa!!! Im not saying they will repeat those numbers, but NIU couldn’t stop a kitten from running...
Daily Fantasy College Football Picks for FanDuel, DraftKings Saturday Early Games 9/6/14
Daily Fantasy College Football Picks for FanDuel, DraftKings Saturday Early Games 9/6/14 It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Baseball heads towards the playoffs. The NFL is on its way. And college football is just getting started. We’ve got you covered all the way around here at DFSR. Our week one NFL picks are live. And don’t forget to get access to our NFL projections. It’s a free 3-day trial for all of your Sunday DFS needs. Quarterbacks Dak Prescott - FD 9900 DK 9000 My man crush continues to grow by the week. What's not to love about this guy? He's the focal point of a high-octane offense and we love quarterbacks that run because their floor is so high. Dak showed why he's such a fantasy dreamboat last week and with another PeeWee Team on the docket you can safely expect a successful Dak Attack. I'm running Dak on both sites, but more so on FD because the way I see it – money is easy on FD this week. P.J. Walker - DK 5300 We gave you Walker last week and he gladly obliged with 3 total touchdowns, on the road. I see another positive day where Walker runs and passes for multiple TD's and helps lead your team to Cashland (the place I reside). Navy is not exactly a cream puff, evidenced by their tough play last week at OSU, but PJ should still pay the way at this extra tasty DK price . He will be a Cascarruthers heavy start. Travis Wilson - FD 6800 DK 7300 Fresno made USC QB, Cody Kessler, look Joe Montana last week. Now they travel to Utah and Travis Wilson looks to be the next in line to reap the rewards. Fresno actually does have a decent offense despite their 13 point effort last week. Utah has a very good offense when playing defensively challenged teams and they also have trouble stopping teams. This could be a high scoring game and Wilson will be the touching the ball more than anyone else. Jeff Driskel - FD 5900 I’m going back to the well on this one. Last week, Driskel missed his opportunity to showcase his talent and I missed an opportunity to expand my bankroll. There's no way the Gators can have another game cancelled, can they? A slow-paced, controlled offense doesn’t scream fantasy heaven, but Driskel does enough to warrant a play at these prices. Florida will dominate this game and fully expect Driskel to be the epicenter of the destruction. He will score both with his feet and his arm. Saving money on Driskel allows for some better plays at other positions. Consider: - CJ...
Daily Fantasy College Football Picks for FanDuel, DraftKings Thursday Games 9/4/14
Daily Fantasy College Football Picks for FanDuel, DraftKings Thursday Games 9/4/14 I want to start this week off with a special thank you to Mother Nature. While she may have given you a beautiful holiday weekend she wreaked havoc on me with the Florida game. It's not often a football game gets cancelled short of a major weather event, but when I proudly run a few Florida players across multiple leagues, you bet the skies open up. What's done is done. Which brings me to my fantasy tip of the day: These things happen, move on. All in all, we finished on the right side of even and hopefully you did too. On to the Thursday-Friday super short slate. Also, our week one NFL picks are live. And don’t forget to get access to our NFL projections. It’s a free 3-day trial for all of your Sunday DFS needs. Quarterbacks Quick note: Halliday is the easy play and will be a heavy start. With only six starting QB's to choose from, we want to do our best to avoid being Captain Obvious and Halliday is just that kind of pick. That being said, he’s obvious for a reason and makes a solid start in every format. Cody Fajardo - FD 9600 DK 7800 Before I tell you how great a guy in the community Cody is ill start with a few football-related things. Last week he went 30/303/1 through the air and 15/68/1 on the ground. He was directly responsible for 60% of their total offensive volume. In comes Washington State and their pass happy, game extending, fantasy awesomeness!. The Wolf Pack will likely be chasing the Cougars all night and you're telling me I can get a guy that will either run or pass it 60% of the time? I’m not saying Cody is as sexy as fellow Nevada alum, Colin Kaepernick, but I am saying he has enough talent to deliver a nice fantasy line. This should be a very high scoring affair with a mid 60’s over/under and dude is just such a focal point of the offense you cant miss. Running Backs Don Jackson - FD 5300 DK 5800 Out of the remaining 40% of offensive snaps for Nevada, Don accounts for 23%. Its a short night so don't let the QB/RB combo scare you. Did you see what Paul James did to Wash St last week? Lets just say ESPN is still editing the highlights. Don isn't Paul and Jackson isn't James, but approximately 33% of the starting RB's tonight will make your lineup. Go with the volume in the highest expected scoring game of the night. Terris Jones-Grigsby DK 4700 Rich Rod...

Daily Fantasy College Football Picks for FanDuel, DraftKings Late Games 8/30/14 Welcome back to the College Football season. It’s such a great time of year with Saturdays and Sundays fully occupied with football. We’ve got you covered with some of the biggest player pools DFS has to offer.

Projections for all your DFS needs. And finally, see below to get a free copy of our ebook on setting Daily Fantasy NFL lineups. Quarterbacks Jameis Winston - FD 10200 DK 8400 What's not to like? Catchy nickname, dazzling smile, umm, that whole thing that happened last year. Ok, so there might be things not to like. But he helms the preseason number one ranked team. All joking aside this dude is for real. All signs point to Jameis winning the Heisman and being the first overall pick in the NFL draft so my guess is Mr. Winston and FSU don’t want to do anything to mess that up. He lost his best WR in Benjamin, but I don’t think that will slow him down. Probably not a ton of upside at this price, but the numbers he's capable of putting up justify his lofty price tag. Cash game play all the way. Dak Prescott - FD 9600 DK 7700 My man pots and pans. Im all Dak'd up on Dak. Another seemingly out of nowhere stud from last year. Not quite Cam Newton, but Dak is big, strong and fast. He runs and throws with consistency. He is also the center of a famous text between me and fellow shark Doug, "good stay away on Prescott. His mom just died." That’s a true story. What's also true is Dak went off Tecmo style the weekend of his moms passing. I'm not sure his game translates to the NFL, but it certainly translates to superb ROI (Return on Investment). Jeff Driskel - FD 5900 DK 5300 Driskel isn't exactly a fantasy dynamo, but at this price he doesn’t have to be. Florida runs a somewhat controlled offense and doesn’t ask Driskel to do much. The Gators have immense talent in the backfield and very stout D so expectations should be tempered. Still, at $5900 Driskel may pay this price in the first half (before being pulled because its 75-0) Trevor Knight - FD 8400 DK 6600 The enigmatic Trevor Knight. Early comparisons to Johnny Football and unexpectedly winning the starting gig last year put Knight on the map. Only thing is he was downright awful. I...

Daily Fantasy College Football Picks for FanDuel, DraftKings Early Games 8/30/14 Welcome back to the College Football season. It’s such a great time of year with Saturdays and Sundays fully occupied with football. We’ve got you covered with some of the biggest player pools DFS has to offer. Be sure to check out our picks for Thursday’s CFB slate as well. Also, we will have full NFL picks coming early next week along with our full NFL projections for all your Sunday DFS needs. And finally, there’s still time to get a free 3-day trial to our baseball projections. On to the picks. Quarterbacks We are going to site-specific for a couple of these postions today. J.T. Barrett - FD 4500 Braxton Miller was a stay away for me anyway, but now he's done for the year. Barrett assumes the starting role for the Buckeyes and for your lineups. I don’t know a damn thing about him (or her for all I know). What I do know is programs like theee Ohio St. are littered with premium athletes and programs like Navy are not. This move has a ripple effect as well. It allows money allocation to other premium positions (see Todd Gurley for example). I only wish he was available on DraftKings. Rakeem Cato - FD 9800 Not available on DraftKings, but my top big money play of the day. If you are choosing to spend on QB instead of Barrett then this is a way to go on FanDuel. Cato is a video game, literally. The stats he puts up on the regular are lip smacking. Five touchdown days are not out of the norm for this cat. He's pricey and I will likely choose to allocate my dollars elsewhere, but if you can fit him in he provides extreme safety. C.J. Brown - DK 6400 This will be CJ's 6th year at College Park, the Crash Davis of college football if you will. Health has been a subject of concern, but there's no denying what this dude brings to the table. Brown rushed for almost 600yds and had 12 rushing TD's in 11 games last season. Really 10 games if you consider the 80 total yard, 63-0, ol fashion ass whoopin, by FSU, where Brown got hurt in the 2nd qtr. CJ struggles against the big boys, but crushes weaker competition. He's the duel threat guy we like to target and has an amazing weapon on the outside in Stefon Diggs. Check this, last year the Terps opened with FIU (that's Florida International for you newbies) and Brown finished with almost 400 total yards and 5 TD's. Maryland hosts JMU (that's James Madison University for you...
