Quarterbacks
TOP PLAYS
- Shane Buechele $9,200
- SMU & Memphis could both score a ton of points on Saturday and Buechele has averaged 25 Fantasy Points Per Game this season.
- Sam Ehlinger $8,800
- Ehlinger is averaging a massive 42.8 FPPG this season. The TCU Secondary has some playmakers so I don’t expect 40+ Fantasy Points but Ehlinger will get you 20-30.
- Kyle Trask $8,400
- Guarantano had 22 Fantasy Points last week vs the Gamecocks, if he can get 22 I’d expect Trask to get 25-30.
- Brady White $8,200
- As I said earlier, I expect this game to be a shootout and Brady White should have no probably getting his points.
BEST VALUE PLAYS
- Sam Howell $8,000
- Howell is a good play any week in my opinion, he’s always going to produce.
- Alan Bowman $7,600
- I loved the play of Bowman last week and he produced, this week he has another good matchup vs Kansas State.
- Skylar Thompson $6,500
- Thompson had 39 Fantasy Points last week vs Oklahoma and he faces a Red Raiders Defense that was shredded by Houston Baptist and Texas.
- Spencer Sanders $6,400
- Keep an eye on this play, If Sanders starts for the pokes he would be an outstanding play with a great matchup and price.
- Kenny Pickett $6,100
- Pickett is a good value play if you’re looking for a cheap QB play who can get you 10-20 points.
- Max Duggan $5,800
- Duggan could be the best value play of the week. He goes up against a Longhorns Defense that was ripped apart by Texas Tech.
Avoid 🚫
- Kellen Mond $6,000
- I think you’d be crazy to play Kellen Mond vs Alabama, end of story.
Running Backs
TOP PLAYS
- Najee Harris $9,000
- Harris will get you 15-25 Fantasy Points but his price is too steep for me and the A&M defense isn’t too bad.
- Chuba Hubbard $8,900
- This could be the week Hubbard breaks loose and has a monster game. It will be hard for the Jayhawks Defense to contain him.
- Gerrid Doaks $7,800
- Doaks has a good matchup but he’s only averaging 2 yards per carry this season. The crazy thing is he has 43 rushing yards in 2020 but 5 Touchdowns. I expect Doaks to get 1 or 2 TDs.
BEST VALUE PLAYS
- Javonte Williams $6,900
- Williams had 3 rushing TDs vs Syracuse in week 2. He seems to be the main Goal Line back and should get you 10-20 fantasy points.
- Rodrigues Clark $6,700
- Clark rushed for 105 yards and a TD vs Arkansas State in the Tigers only game. He’s the RB1 in an excellent offense.
- Khalil Herbert $6,600
- The Kansas Transfer rushed six times for 104 yards and a TD for the Hokies vs NC State. VT got off to such a big lead they used multiple backs but Herbert is the RB1.
- Trestan Ebner $6,500
- Ebner had Two Kick Return TDs last week, a rushing TD and receiving TD on his way to 36 Fantasy Points.
- Deuce Vaughn $6,200
- Vaughn is a True Freshman who delivered 30 fantasy points last week vs Oklahoma. DraftKings has finally caught on and the great value he had last week isn’t there for this week but I expect him to find the endzone.
- Ulysses Bentley IV $5,900
- Bentley is another True Freshman who’s been phenomenal this season. He’s averaging 30 FPPG this season and has another good matchup.
- Raheem Blackshear $4,800
- Blackshear is a versatile player who is used as a RB or WR. He has a good price and should get 10 or so touches.
- LD Brown $4,000
- Brown is one of the top backup RBs in College Football. Oklahoma State could get a big lead which could result in more touches for Brown.
AVOID 🚫
- Isaiah Spiller $5,500
Wide Receivers
TOP PLAYS
- Damonte Coxie $8,300
- Coxie will cost you this week but he’s worth it. Coxie had 23 Fantasy Points vs Arkansas State in week 1 and has a favorable matchup this week.
- Reggie Roberson $8,100
- Roberson has 17 catches for 231 yards and 3 TDs this season averaging 20 FPPG. I expect SMU to score 30+ points and Roberson to get 20 or so Fantasy Points.
- Jaylen Waddle $7,500
- Waddle is going to produce every week and you actually get him for a better price than I expected this week.
BEST VALUE PLAYS
- Kyle Pitts $7,300
- Last week I said you can always get Tight Ends for a good value, well after a Four TD Performance Vegas has caught on, Last week Pitts was $5,400 but this week he’s $1,900 more. Pitts will be a good play every week but this week his matchup is tougher.
- Joshua Moore $7,000
- Moore had a 3 TD Performance last week and looks like Ehlingers go to target in the Red Zone.
- DeVonta Smith $6,800
- Smith had 8 catches for 89 yards last week and will be a productive fantasy player each week. 6,800 is $600 above the average but still a good price for an elite player.
- Tylan Wallace $6,500
- No matter who plays QB for Oklahoma State this weekend I expect Wallace to have a big game. He has a great matchup vs Kansas.
- Dyami Brown $6,500
- You’ll find as the year goes on that I love playing UNC Reveivers especially Brown & Newsome.
- Erik Ezukanma $6,000
- Ezukanma is in an explosive offense and will get 5-10 touches every week. I love his value this week.
- Jordan Addison $5,900
- Addison a True Freshman has been the best skill player on the Panthers Offense. He’s caught 7 passes in each of the first three games this season.
- Dazz Newsome $5,400
- Newsome is a Senior Leader for the Heels and produces every week, for $800 less than the average you get a stud.
- James Mitchell $4,400
- The Hokies Tight End is a WR/TE hybrid who’s tall & quick. Last week he had 3 catches for 68 yards and a TD. You get a TE1 for great value.
- Noah Gray $4,200
- Last season Gray had 2 receiving TDs vs the Hokies and he’s a big red zone threat
