Early college football DFS picks September 19: Texas shootout
By Mike Marteny
College football DFS wide receiver picks September 19:
Top Tier:
The prices on Clemson are too high for a team that is going to coast to victory. I can say the same about Alec Pierce. Tylan Wallace is second on the Oklahoma State offense, but I still think he sees more work than any of the other top-flight receivers. The only exception might be Peter LeBlanc.
In a PPR format like DraftKings, I like guys like Jalon Calhoun. He’s the possession receiver that Duke needs to crack a tough defense. Chase Brice looked his way a lot in the opener and he should here in another tougher matchup against Boston College.

Middle Tier:
Return of the Mack! No, not the 90’s hit by Mark Morrison. I’m talking about Pitt receiver Taysir Mack. Mack is one of the best receivers out there on pure talent alone. His QB may be erratic, but Mack is not. He’s in for a strong game here.
Thomas Hennigan was big for Appalachian State in a tighter-than-expected game against Charlotte. Expect him to come up big again against Marshall in a game that is expected to be close throughout.
Dillon Stoner is always going to be painted as a third wheel in the Oklahoma State offense, but that’s not a slight on him. He’s too talented to be this cheap. Tulsa wont be able to force the Cowboys off their favorites, so I’m not all that high on Stoner here. However, Stoner could still get looks once Tylan Wallace becomes a spectator. He’s an interesting pick for the price.
Bargain Shoppers:
Tulane spread the ball out a lot against South Alabama last week. Jha’Quan Jackson was the only receiver targeted more than twice, and he’s cheap against a Navy defense that was torched by BYU. Jackson looks like a nice value play Saturday.
Both Malachi Carter and Jalen Camp were targeted heavily by Georgia Tech in the opener. They are closer to the spread offense that they want to run now, and it’s showing up in targets. Both receivers are cheap and worth a look in a game where the Bees will have to throw to be competitive again.
Tommy Tremble could be a guy that sees more targets with Ben Skowronek out with a hamstring pull. I don’t expect Notre Dame to throw all that much though, so there is some risk here. There is with all cheapies though. You know this already.
