Quarterbacks

Justin Fields - Ohio State - FD $10,400 DK $8,600

Fields is our most expensive option and rightfully so. He’s combined for at least three touchdowns in every game this season and his dual-threat ability gives him a 25 fantasy point floor. Ohio State finishes off the season against Penn State and Michigan, so Fields will be tested more than ever. I expect the dominance to continue, and so does Vegas. Ohio State is favored by 18.5 points here with a 58 total. That puts Ohio State at 38 implied points. He’s going to put up another 25+ fantasy points and his ceiling is higher than any other quarterback. If you can afford him, he’s the top cash game option. With that being said, he’s no Jalen Hurts and it’s worth looking elsewhere if you’re not in love with the spot.

Charlie Brewer - Baylor - FD $10,100 DK $7,900

Brewer looked like Joe Montana in the first half last week, but ultimately fizzled out and ?couldn’t move the ball in the second. It only gets easier this week, facing off with one of the worst pass defenses in the country. On average, Texas allows 305 yards per game through the air. With that being said, that’s taking into play some very bad QB’s. If we look at QB’s comparable to Brewer, we have Purdy at 354, 471 to Burrow, and 331 to J’Mar Smith. Brewer is going to be over 300 yards here and he has a knack for finding the end zone. I do think Fields still has a lot more upside, but Brewer is a pretty safe bet in cash games for 25+ fantasy points. 

Malcolm Perry - Navy - FD $9,900 DK $7,800

Perry was slowed for the first time last week, and SMU doesn’t have a shot at containing him here. Through nine games, Malcolm Perry has run for 1159 yards with a whopping 16 touchdowns. He’s added 758 yards and five scores through the air. Lock him in for 30 fantasy points here. Quarterback is strong on this slate and there are a lot of guys worth considering. Do not overlook Malcolm Perry.

Kedon Slovis - USC - FD $9,300 DK $7,000

If you take into consideration price, Kedon Slovis might be the best quarterback play on this slate. He’s inexplicably cheap after putting up 33 DraftKings points in back to back weeks and three of the last four. He just threw for 406 yards and four touchdowns on an extremely tough Cal defense. Slovis is a phenomenal pure passer, throwing for 400+ yards in three of the last four games. He now draws a match-up with UCLA that is his best yet. I would be shocked if Slovis doesn’t end up over 400 yards once again. This offense is centered around him chucking 40+ times and he has three NFL-level receivers to play with. We’ll get to a couple of them later. Slovis is in play in both cash games and tournaments and I’m not sure you’ll find a lineup of mine without him.

Dru Brown (Spencer Sanders OUT) - Oklahoma State - FD $6,100 DK $4,900

To be clear, I prefer Kedon Slovis over Sanders every day of the week and twice on Saturday. With that being said, this is college football and Slovis was in a similar spot earlier this season before being knocked out in the 2nd play. Weird things happen. Sanders is going to go overlooked here and the match-up is a great one with West Virginia. We’ve seen them have some serious troubles against running quarterbacks and Sanders is as versatile as it gets. In tournaments, Sanders is worth a shot at super flex. Spencer Sanders is out for the season after undergoing thumb surgery. Dru Brown will step in and makes for a phenomenal value play at QB.

 

Running Backs

Chuba Hubbard - Oklahoma State - FD $10,800 DK $8,900

With Spencer Sanders out for the season, we may see an already unbelievable workload get even larger. Dru Brown is no slouch and I don’t think Oklahoma shoes away from giving him freedom, but I do think Hubbard gets five or six more carries than he would have. West Virginia is as average as it gets against the run, ranking 75th out of 150 Division I teams. They give up 167 yards per game and nearly four yards per carry. Hubbard is the most consistent running back in college football and that won’t stop this week. Oklahoma State is a 6.5 point favorite and I wouldn’t be surprised if Hubbard gets 30 touches to hold onto that slight lead.

Breece Hall - Iowa State - FD $ DK $6,700

Breece Hall has the best match-up on the board at running back and he’s still not expensive as he should be. Talent-wise, this is a guy that’s a lock to be in the NFL. He’s not only a top 1% one-cut runner, but he can catch with any back in the country. Kansas can’t stop anyone on the run, sitting 126th out of 130 teams. Yikes. On average, Kansas is allowing 236 yards per game and five yards per carry. Breece Hall is going to have a field day here and I’m prioritizing him over any other running back. 

D’Andre Swift - Georgia - FD $9,000 DK $7,500

I expect Swift to go overlooked here and I love this match-up with Texas A&M. They are a lot worse against the run than the pass and Swift is guaranteed volume in competitive games. He’s also been held without a touchdown for three straight games, and that’s pure volatility. Swift is going to find the end zone in this game and I think he gets over 100 yards by the third quarter. Georgia is going to keep it on the ground a ton in this game and Swift will be one of the top running backs on the day. Expect him to come in under 15% owned in tournaments and be ready to jump all over it. 

Javian Hawkins - Louisville - FD $8,400 DK $5,500

If we’re looking for a cheap running back to get exposure to, Javian Hawkins is my favorite. He matches up with a Syracuse team that struggles to stop the run, allowing 4.65 yards per carry and nearly 200 yards per game on the ground. Hawkins has been over 15 carries in all but one game this season and I’m expecting closer to that 25-27 he sees in positive game scripts. This game sets up perfectly for Hawkins, and he’s easily my favorite value RB on the board. 

Stephen Carr - USC - FD $6,800 DK $4,900

The USC backfield is always crowded, but Carr is the most talented of them all and one of the top NFL RB prospects. Carr returned last week and carried the ball nine times on top of two catches. If he sees a bump in playing time here, we’re looking at 15 touches against a terrible UCLA defense. His price is depressed on both sites and there’s a chance he demolishes value. This is a GPP play, as USC could give Carr a break if they grab an early lead. Hawkins is a lot safer, but Carr has similar upside for cheaper and he’ll be mostly ignored by the field.


 

Wide Receivers

Michael Pittman Jr. - USC - FD $9,000 DK $7,600

Pittman Jr. is one of my favorite wide receivers in college football and he’s going to be a guy you watch on Sundays for years to come. At 6-foot-4, 220 pounds, there isn’t a cornerback in college that can cover him. Pittman has a ridiculous 24 catches over his last two games and now gets a far better match-up than both of them. I can’t see a world where Pittman Jr. isn’t on every roster of mine this week. Amon-Ra St. Brown and Tyler Vaughns are solid cheaper options as well with a ton of upside. As for Pittman Jr., he’s easily my favorite receiver on the slate. 

Denzel Mims - Baylor - FD $8,700 DK $6,600

Mims now has five touchdowns in the last three games. He was banged up throughout the game last week, and I’d say he’s on the probable side of questionable this week. Assuming he plays, Charlie Brewer looks his way a ton. Especially in the red-zone. With Texas being one of the absolute worst pass defenses in the country, we have to attack them somewhere. If Mims plays, he’s too cheap and the upside is too high. If he’s out, Tyquan Thornton becomes a top play. 

Chris Olave - Ohio State - FD $8,600 DK $5,900

If I’m picking between these Ohio State wide receivers, Chris Olave is my favorite. He has the highest target share in the red zone and has been getting the most targets in general of recent. Penn State isn’t a cupcake defense, so I expect Fields to lean on Olave even more here. Ohio State is going to put up 30+ points in this game and Olave should get two or three red zone targets at least. He’s inexpensive on both sites and you can play him in all formats.

Sam James - West Virginia - DK $5,300

T.J. Simmons is likely to play in this game, but he won’t be 100%. Sam James wasn’t great last time out, but he caught 14 balls for 223 yards just two weeks ago. This match-u sets up great for him and I could see Simmons playing more of a decoy role. James is a reliable number two and even if Simmons is a full go, I like James. Oklahoma State isn’t any good against the pass and Austin Kendall should be able to put together 250 yards through the air. James is cheap and a great tournament play.

Taye Barber - TCU - FD $6,900 DK $4,400

This is a FanDuel only play. Dan is covering the late slate, but FanDuel has included soem later games, so though I’d throw this value in there. The whole world knows Jalen Reagor is the best player on this team, and that includes opposing defenses. Reagor is certainly in play here, but Duggan has been comfortable throwing to Barber and he reeled in eight balls for 137 yards last week. The match-up with Oklahoma is even better here and Barber hasn’t had his price adjusted yet. I expect TCU to put up at least three or four touchdowns, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Barber has a repeat performance of last week. He’s the short-yard target and turns them into 20+ yard catches by himself. I love Barber in all formats for value.
