College football DFS running back picks October 31:

Top Tier:

Nebraska transfer Greg Bell is way too cheap on this slate. He went for triple digits on UNLV in the opener. The only bad thing was that he has a couple of touchdowns poached. Still, the high volume makes Bell well worth the money.

Jaylen Warren ran for more yards against Boise than the quarterback threw for. Still, San Diego State’s defense is very good. Warren feels overprice since Tyler Allgeier is $200 cheaper with a superb matchup in an explosive offense.

Middle Tier:

The status of Toa Taua is something to watch. Jay Norvell hasn’t officially ruled him out, but it seems unlikely that he will battle for the Cannon. Charles Williams is a decent option since UNLV has had trouble throwing the ball, but the line is largely ineffective.

Devonte Lee is a solid option if Taua is out, but Lopini Katoa probably has more upside. Lee’s floor is much higher though.

Bargain Shoppers:

Don’t be afraid of the San Diego State backups for value. They run more than most teams and will use three backs to do it. Bell gets most of the carries, but Kaegun Williams came close to the triple digit mark and Chance Bell found the end zone twice. This is an interesting stack if you want to run two expensive quarterbacks.

The quarterback, who played only about 60% of the time in the first six games, has more rushing yards than Western Kentucky starting running back Gaej Walker. Good luck!
