College Football is FINALLY back! For the Saturday, August 31st 2019 main slate, we will break down our top FanDuel CFB picks for you to hopefully cash in all formats.

Admittedly, college daily fantasy sports can be difficult to play. When you throw in the numerous unknown’s related to collegiate sports, along with the fluctuating play of younger athletes, tackling a FanDuel CFB DFS slate can seem daunting.

However, FanDuel CFB can also be more exciting to play for those very same reasons. Mastering NFL DFS is theoretically easier to analyze but, usually, there are significantly more players to beat. That improves our odds of taking down a cash play, and GPP tournaments.

Hopefully to help you narrow down your options, I’m going to highlight some of my top plays at each position. These are not ‘locks’, especially for such a difficult DFS sport to tackle, but they’re likely good plays you can use to build your lineup around.

However, never take DFS advice as a gold standard. There are many outcome possibilities. That’s what makes playing daily fantasy sports so fun! Take these picks as solid advice, and it’s on YOU to build the ultimate lineups.

For the ‘Main’ FanDuel CFB slate this Saturday, we have player options for games throughout the day. I don’t typically like ‘all day’ slates, but that’s really for the MLB DFS and NHL DFS options. For football, the Main slates covering the entire day make more sense.

Alright, let’s start looking at our top pick plays for each of the positions offered in this slate.
