Next: Who Will Put Up Big Numbers At QB?

Quarterback:

Best Bets:

Trevone Boykin, TCU ($10,400): The price is high, but Boykin has been worth it in every game besides the opener against Minnesota. He has had at least 37 fantasy points in every game but the Minnesota game. Ideally, you want around 42 points from Boykin. Fair enough. He has reached that plateau in six of nine games this year. He is a strong bet even though he likely won’t play in the fourth quarter against a dreadful Kansas team.

Patrick Mahomes, Texas Tech ($9,300): Oh, these Big 12 quarterbacks. Always putting up video game type numbers. Kansas State was gouged by Boykin and Baker Mayfield, both of whom are dual threats just like Mahomes is. The potential of the game staying somewhat close keeps Mahomes in the top tier.

Honorable Mention:

Deshaun Watson, Clemson ($9,800): Watson’s value is limited a little because of the impending blowout against Syracuse. The Orange have allowed 270 passing yards and 166 rushing yards per game, so Watson can use all of his skills to help this game get out of reach. He should produce enough while in the game to make him a worthwhile option though.

Connor Cook, Michigan State ($8,400): Cook has four straight games of more than 300 passing yards. It promises to be five after he gets done with Maryland and their 95th ranked pass defense.

Dark Horses:

Keenan Reynolds, Navy ($7,100): SMU is allowing nearly as many yards rushing (255) as passing (262) per game this year. Reynolds could completely dominate this defense. Look what Temple did to them last week. I’m not saying that the Middies will hang 60 on the Mustangs, but they might come close. Reynolds will be the catalyst for the whole team.

Joe Hubener, Kansas State ($6,200): Hubener has been awful throwing the ball (78-166, 1114 yards, 6TD/6INT), but he has been able to run the ball well (eight rushing touchdowns). Texas Tech is 126th in the country in rush defense. Hubener put up 151 on the ground against Baylor. Don’t be surprised if he does it again against Tech.

My pick: Reynolds

Next: Who Are The Best RB's?

Running Back:

Best Bets:

Derrick Henry, Alabama ($8,900): If Henry ran like that on a good LSU defense, chances are that he can do it to anybody. The Bulldogs have allowed 167.7 rushing yards per game, good for 71st in the country. Henry will be there if the Tide need to lean on him again. Henry has racked up 101.2 FanDuel points in his last three games. Expect somewhere near the 33 points that he is averaging over that span on Saturday afternoon.

Wayne Gallman, Clemson ($7,200): Watson commands most of the attention, so Gallman often gets lost in the shuffle. All he has done is run for 100 or more yards in six of his last seven games. He won’t put up the gaudy numbers of Leonard Fournette or Dalvin Cook, but he will consistently produce at a reasonable price.

Honorable Mention:

Dalvin Cook, Florida State ($9,300): Cook has been the offense for Florida State since they made the switch to Sean Maguire at quarterback. North Carolina State is in the top 25 in rush defense, so it could be slow going for Cook. Then again, he ran for nearly 200 yards against a good Clemson defense, so he will likely still put up decent numbers. They might not match his price, however.

Ezekiel Elliott, Ohio State ($9,100): Illinois has a reputation for having a poor defense. I am not going to dispute that, but it is more the pass defense that has had issues. The run defense has been solid, allowing 140 rushing yards per game which is good for 34th in the country. That said, Elliott is likely the best running back the Illini have faced. The Buckeyes are out to prove that they are a real threat to defend their title with J.T. Barrett returning at QB. Elliott could have a very nice day.

Dark Horses:

Sony Michel, Georgia ($6,800): Michel at this low of a price is almost criminal. Auburn’s defense has improved to 94th in the country after an awful start to the season, but they are still allowing 191 yards per game. Michel has had at least 22 carries in three of his last four games. Expect him to see a lot of work here against the Tigers as well.

Aaron Green, TCU ($6,200): The Jayhawks have been dreadful against the run, allowing 253 yards per game on the ground, bad enough for 120th in the country. Josh Doctson has apparently avoided serious injury, but in all likelihood, the Horned Frogs aren’t going to push him because they won’t need him. Look for a healthy dose of Green on the ground because they can.

My picks: Michel and Green

Next: Is There A Better Option Than Josh Doctson?

Wide Receiver:

Best Bets:

James Washington, Oklahoma State ($7,600): Washington has exploded with 24 catches for 617 yards and seven touchdowns over his last five games. He has proven to be Mason Rudolph’s most reliable target, and Iowa State doesn’t have anyone in the secondary that can stop him. Washington will be highly owned because he is frequently targeted, and with Josh Doctson likely at less than 100 percent, Washington is the safest option of the day if you are looking to spend at WR.

Aaron Burbridge, Michigan State ($7,500): Burbridge has caught 37 passes for 580 yards in his last four games. He has only reached the end zone twice, but the yardage alone makes him bust-proof. Maryland is allowing 250 passing yards per game. Expect Burbridge to get at least half of that.

Honorable Mention:

Jakeem Grant, Texas Tech ($7,400): Grant had a miserable day against West Virginia last week, but with Kansas State’s 119th ranked pass defense coming to town, he is in line to bounce back in a big way. Every Texas Tech receiver is worth a look today as most of them will be heavily involved, but Grant is the go-to guy. If you are looking for flex fillers in DraftKings, Reginald Davis and Zach Austin are both looking tantalizing.

Kolby Listenbee, TCU ($5,500): Yes, Josh Doctson will play, but as I stated earlier, there is no incentive for TCU to risk further injury against a cupcake like Kansas. This will be a tune-up for the Toadies, and Listenbee is in line to have a huge game. I think he will get about half of Doctson’s usual workload on top of his 5-8 targets per game. He could be a great bargain at this price.

Dark Horses:

Ryan Switzer, North Carolina ($5,400): The Tarheel offense has turned into a finely tuned machine lately, and Switzer has become a rather big part of it. He has caught at least five passes in his last three games, and has eclipsed the century mark in yardage in the last two. Look for him to be a big part of the offense again against Miami this weekend.

Amara Darboh, Michigan ($5,300): Yes, Michigan is a run-heavy offense, but that may change some against Indiana’s horrid pass defense. The Hoosiers are 127th in nation (only Kansas is worse), allowing 330 passing yards per game. Look for the Wolverines to throw the ball around some if for no other reason than to give Ohio State something else to look at on game film.

My picks: Washington, Burbridge, and Listenbee

Next: Can You Save Money At TE?

Tight End:

Best Bet:

Jaylen Samuels, North Carolina State ($5,600): His price has skyrocketed because of the injury to Matt Dayes. The Wolfpack really have no one to run the ball, so Samuels has spent more time in the backfield as usual. Florida State is a tough matchup, but Samuels is going to see a lot of touches, so he may turn out to be worth this lofty price tag.

Honorable Mention:

Jordan Leggett, Clemson ($3,800): He has become one of the primary threats for Clemson lately. He went over 100 yards receiving against Florida State, and caught touchdowns in five straight games earlier this year. Syracuse’s defense is not good enough to keep him off the radar, so Leggett should see plenty of balls again this weekend.

Dark Horse:

Josiah Price, Michigan State ($2,800): He is touchdown dependent for the most part, but if you are going to gamble in Price, this is a good place to do it. Indiana can’t cover anyone. Price will be open plenty against the Hoosiers.

My pick: Leggett
