DraftKings CFB picks August 29: It’s all about the Benjamin

We have a busy Thursday with six games for our DraftKings CFB tournaments. I always love this week since everywhere you turn, there’s college football. Once the NFL starts most people flock to that. I’m happy to stay in the realm of DraftKings CFB.

The opening two game Saturday was a pretty good one. We hit minimum cash thanks to using both Khalil Tate and Cole McDonald, even though he got benched. Cedric Byrd was the real star though, racking up 63.7 DraftKings points.

We will try to give a few options at each position. Due to regulations by DraftKings, I cannot provide a sample lineup, but any lineups I use will be formed from players mentioned in this piece. Once you start building a lineup for yourself, you can see how it all fits together.

The scoring for NCAA football is much the same as it is for the NFL with one notable exception: the super flex! That means aside from the flex position which is RB/WR, you can add another player from any position! Want four running backs? Go right ahead! Five wide receivers? Sure! Two quarterbacks? Of course! Just stay under the salary cap!

The super flex replaces the defense, which is essential in college football. This is all about the offense. DraftKings CFB scoring realizes that!
