College football DFS wide receiver picks October 30:

Top Tier:

Rashod Bateman had 11 targets against Michigan and went over triple digits. No other Minnesota receiver had more than three. He’s a huge part of the Minnesota offense. The only worry with the Gophers is that they get up big early and rest the starters. I wouldn’t worry all that much. Most of them will pay off their salary when they are in there.

Keylon Stokes had a nice game last weekend as the Tulsa offense showed good balance. The ECU defense hasn’t stopped anyone this year. Stokes remains a safe play even though he wont get quite the targets that Bateman does.

Middle Tier:

North Texas transfer Rico Bussey had a nice debut for Hawaii, netting 11 targets. The Warriors lost a lot with Ward, Byrd, and Sharsh all gone. Jared Smart was second on the team in receptions last season and is a strong play as well. Bussey appears to be the preferred target right now though.

There’s a lot to like about Sam Crawford, but if Tulsa takes the air out of the ball, he’s not the big play guy. Stokes is. There are better and cheaper options on this slate.

Bargain Shoppers:

It was slow going for Tyler Snead with Ahlers out. He only has seven combined receptions in the last two games. I would expect Snead to be far more involved in the offense against Tulsa, especially since their run defense is so good. Blake Proehl is a strong play too, but he doesn’t have the upside of Snead.

Dontay Demus was about the only bright spot on offense for Maryland and he only had 43 yards. Maryland is working out a bunch of kinks and learning to integrate the new pieces on the fly. They will likely get better, but this whole offense is a big risk right now.
