QBs

Top Plays

Cam Ward $9,000
Quinn Ewers $8,900
Will Howard $8,500
Kyron Drones $8,300
Dylan Raiola $8,200

• You can’t go wrong with any of these players, Drones & Raiola are my two favorite price adjusted plays while Will Howard could be an excellent contrarian play to get different.

Best Value Plays

Kyle McCord $8,000
MJ Morris $7,200 or Billy Edwards Jr $7,000
Alan Bowman $7,000

• McCord is an excellent play this week and a player who could go for 250+ yards 3 TDs. Everyone is still waiting to see who will be QB1 for Maryland so if anything is announced I obviously like Morris/Edwards vs UConn.

Longshot Play

Nate Yarnell $6,000

• Pitt has a favorable matchup vs Kent State and Yarnell is a player I could see getting 3 TDs or more. If you’re looking to save money at QB this is the play for you.

RBs

Top Plays

Ollie Gordon III $9,100
Quinshon Judkins $7,900
TreVeyon Henderson $7,500

• Gordon III is the clear cut top RB play this week even though his matchup vs South Dakota State will be challenging. I’m not someone who likes playing RBs who split opportunities like Judkins and Henderson so even though they have a GREAT matchup I’ll pass on both. If you want to take a chance on guessing which one has the better game go right ahead!!!!!

Best Value Plays

Bhayshul Tuten $6,500
Jaydon Blue $6,200
Emmett Johnson $5,500
LeQuint Allen $5,100
Rodney Hammond Jr $4,900

• Jaydon Blue at $6,200 is my favorite play on the whole slate. He’s the #1 RB for the Longhorns and a player I could see getting 150 yards 2 TDs easily. Johnson at 5.5K is the projected starter for Nebraska and he has a matchup I love. Allen at $5,100 and Hammond Jr $4,900 both have favorite MAC matchups and I could see both having 20+ fantasy games.

Longshot Plays

Kenny Tracy $4,300
Yasin Willis $4,100

• Tracy is the RB for the Miami OH Redhawks and has a matchup vs Northwestern where I can see Miami getting the win. Yasin Willis is a True Freshman for Syracuse I could see getting 10+ touches in this game and a player who will be very low owned making him a possible big slate winner if he goes off.

WR/TE

Top Plays

Jahmal Banks $7,500
Emeka Egbuka $7,000
Tory Horton $6,900

• Banks is my favorite play of these three. Yes I know he’s on a new team (Nebraska) and has a True Freshman QB throwing him the ball but that’s perfectly fine for me. I believe Raiola comes out and makes a statement and Banks will be the beneficiary.

Best Value Plays

Xavier Restrepo $6,700
Isaiah Bond $6,500
Ali Jennings III $5,600
Jeremiah Smith $5,400
Rueben Owens $5,20]
Taj Felton $4,800
De’Zhaun Stribling $4,800
Konata Mumpfield $4,800

• It’s a lot of high ceiling players in this tier like Isaiah Bond, Ali Jennings III, Jeremiah Smith the True Freshman at Ohio State and Rueben Owens. My favorite price adjusted plays are Taj Felton at $4,800 & Konata Mumpfield at $4,800.

Longshot Plays

Zeed Haynes $4,500
Hudson Clement $4,400
Oscar Delp $4,200
Gavin Bartholomew $4,200
Kenny Johnson $3,900
Loic Fouonji $3,800
Preston Howard $3,700
Oronde Gadsden II $3,500

• Let me start off by saying DraftKings absolutely gave us a FREE SQUARE with Oronde Gadsden II at 3.5K. He’s possibly the best TE in CFB when healthy and could easily get you 100 yards 1 TD. I believe the Pittsburgh passing attack improves this season and TE Gavin Bartholomew and WR Kenny Johnson are great stacking options with QB Nate Yarnell. Preston Howard the Terps TE is a player I’m expecting a big season from and his ownership will be 1% or less most likely.
