DraftKings college football wide receiver picks October 31

Top Tier:

Denzel Mims hasn’t been a factor in the last two games, but that could change here. West Virginia’s run defense is pretty solid, but their pass defense is atrocious. Lamb and Duvernay both had huge games on the Mountaineers. Now it’s Mims’ turn.

Tyquan Thornton may be the safer pick since he has more receptions than Mims over the last couple of games. They both can break a game wide open, and honestly, the price doesn’t matter. We have three run heavy teams on this slate. Receiving options are hard to come by.

Middle Tier:

I really like both T.J. Simmons and Sam James. James is the possession guy. Simmons isn’t much of a game breaker, but he is plenty good enough. You don’t hear a lot about these guys because of the shortcomings of their quarterback, but Kendall’s interceptions wont affect our receivers much. These are my two favorites on the slate at receiver.

Appalachian State can and does throw, just not very often. It may be more often here due to Georgia Southern’s good run defense. Thomas Hennigan and Corey Sutton are both mostly possession guys. So is Malik Williams. You aren’t going to find a game breaker here, but all three are solid options.

Bargain Shoppers:

Josh Fleeks broke out against Oklahoma State before the bye. It wasn’t that close of a game, but Fleeks did catch all three of his passes from Brewer. The sophomore should have earned himself a few more targets with that performance, but he’s still a big of a risk considering Fleeks only had five receptions on the season before the Oklahoma State game. Four were in the first game against Stephen F. Austin.
