Late College football DFS picks October 17: Rooooooooll Tide

College football DFS running back picks October 17:

Top Tier:

I don’t care how good Georgia’s defense is. Najee Harris is better. He may be even more valuable in a close game. Georgia doesn’t play the patented “ole” defense that Ole Miss does, but this is still going to be a strong game for Harris.

If you want to get off the ownership, Khalil Herbert transferred out of the college football purgatory of Lawrence, Kansas. It has been a good move for him. The BC run defense hasn’t been very good. I can see Herbert being at least as good, if not better than Harris. The floor is lower though.

Middle Tier:

Both Javonte Williams and Michael Carter are superb plays against Florida State. They may not run for the 400 yards that they did against Virginia Tech, but they’ll sniff 300 combined here. Look for Carter to have more yards and Williams to have more touchdowns again. Carter is the solid option. Williams gets the big scores because of the touchdowns.

With Price out of the picture, I have to lean towards Zamir White. Bama’s run defense was gashed by Ealy last week. White has enough wiggle to make for an interesting play.

Bargain Shoppers:

David Bailey hasn’t done much this year with the Eagles playing like their namesakes and airing it out this year. However, I expect Bailey to have some big runs against Virginia Tech. He’s not as good as the Carolina backs, but the Hokies have struggled to stop the run all year.

James Cook is one of the better athletes Georgia has, and is an interesting punt against the Tide. Snoop Conner and Ealy both had huge games against Bama. White and Cook could be the next to do so, but there is some risk here.
