DraftKings CFB $60K Saturday Kickoff Special $20K to 1st ($15 Entry)
CFB DFS IS BACK BABY!!!!! Saturday is just a 3 game slate but like always, I’ve done the research, I have the expertise and all you have to do is read the article and win money $$$$$$$$$$$$$
QBs
Top Play
Preston Stone $8,900
• Stone is the QB I’m willing to pay up for this week. SMU plays Mountain West opponent Nevada and the mustangs are 24.5 point favorites. I believe SMU scores 42 or more points in this one and I could see Stone getting 25+ Fantasy Points.
Best Value Play
Tommy Mellott $7,000
• Mellott is my favorite play at QB on the slate. The FCS Phenom has thrown for over 2,500 yards and rushed for over 2,000 yards in his career. Montana State will be looking to make a statement vs New Mexico and I expect Mellott to have a massive game.
Longshot Plays
Brendon Lewis $6,200
Devon Dampier $6,100
• Lewis has a tough matchup but he can provide production as a runner and Nevada will be trailing and likely throwing quite a bit. Dampier and New Mexico could possibly get into a back and forth vs Montana State and at $6,100 this is a massive steal at QB.
RBs
Top Play
Roydell Williams $7,100
• Williams is listed as RB1 and I believe he’s set for a big season. The Noles are 11.5 point favorites vs GT on Saturday and I could see Williams getting 20+ touches.
Best Value Play
Jaylan Knighton $6,600
• Camar Wheaton is out for the season at RB and the Mustangs are 24.5 point favorites vs Nevada. This all sets up perfectly for Knighton and for $6,600 he’s a good value play.
Longshot Play
Andrew Henry $5,700
• Henry is RB1 for New Mexico and I could easily see him getting one or two TDs on Saturday so for a price below 6K this is a steal.
Receivers
Top Plays
Malik Benson $7,000
Jake Bailey $6,300
• Benson is the top WR for the Noles and a player I could see catching 6 passes for 100 yards 1 TD or better on Saturday. If you’re playing Preston Stone at QB then I’d stack him with Bailey.
Best Value Plays
RJ Maryland $5,400
Eric Singleton Jr $5,300
Ty McCullouch $4,900
• Maryland is one of the best Tight Ends in CFB and if you’re looking to stack him with Preston Stone instead of using Bailey you could save money and still have the upside. Singleton Jr is the Yellowjackets WR1 and last season as a Freshman he had a phenomenal year. I could see GT passing in this game quite a bit and Singleton could get 6+ catches. McCullouch is the best value play on the Saturday slate. He’s the WR1 for Montana State and the casuals have no idea how great he is. I’m stacking Mellott and McCullouch in the majority of my lineups.
Longshot Play
Nate Burleson II $3,200
• Burleson II is the son of former NFL star WR Nate Burleson. Burleson II is just a Freshman but I could see him being involved in the gameplan and for almost the bare minimum price he’s worth taking a shot on.
