DraftKings college football quarterback picks November 26

Top Tier:

The top priced option on the entire slate is Nathan Rourke, and we can’t really say that he’s not worth it. Rourke gets to face a terrible Akron defense. He beat Bowling Green with his arm and not his legs, but Rourke can definitely do both. Akron’s run defense is about as bad as they come. This is a great place to use Rourke.

Middle Tier:

Jon Wassink showed off his arm last week in the win over Ohio. It was his legs the week before against Ball State. Wassink isn’t quite the runner that Rourke is, but he’s a very good plan B. Northern Illinois has allowed 179.3 rushing yards per game. The Broncos have a stable of strong running backs so I have a feeling Western Michigan is going to run more than throw. Wassink will still be a part of that, but I would prioritize the backs over Wassink for Western Michigan.

Bargain Shoppers:

Using Kato Nelson for value is always a dangerous proposition. The poor guy was sacked a dozen times last week by Miami of Ohio. This line is so bad that Nelson has no time to throw and no room to go anywhere when he is running for his life. I think he’s a solid quarterback, but you would never know it behind this line. Ohio’s defense is solid, but not like Miami. Nelson may have a little more room to move, which makes him an interesting GPP option.

There is no word out of DeKalb on whether Ross Bowers has cleared concussion protocol or not. This is unfortunate because we likely wont have word until right at kickoff and it takes a good option off the table either way. Both Bowers and Marcus Childers are strong plays against Western Michigan if we get concrete word on who is starting.
