College football DFS wide receiver picks November 4:

Top Tier:

Kent really isn’t a running team and signs point to that piece of the offense being less effective than last year. I get why Isaiah McKoy is so expensive, but Justin Hall is in a better offense with a better matchup. And he’s $900 cheaper. That’s going to be very important on this slate.

Kalil Pimpleton led the MAC in receiving yards last year, but I don’t trust the quarterback situation at Central Michigan. Whoever is under center is going to look his way, but Skyy Moore is a much better option. Moore dazzled as a freshman last year and Eleby is a more proven commodity than anything CMU has.

Buffalo doesn’t throw much, but when they do, Antonio Nunn is likely going to be on the end of it. He caught nearly a third of all Buffalo completions last year and had more than double the next closest receiver and 400 yards more than anyone else on the team.

Middle Tier:

Yeah, I have major issues spending this much on a tight end too, but Quintin Morris had 35 more receptions and 350 more yards than any other Bowling Green receiver last year. If you must use a Bowling Green receiver, it should be Morris.

Quian Williams was strong for Eastern Michigan down the stretch last year, and if this is a more passing oriented attack without Mike Glass, he tends to benefit more from that. The fact that Arthur Jackson is gone too makes Williams a prime target against an iffy Kent defense.

Yo’Heinz Taylor. Fantastic name in a fantastic matchup. I prefer Hall, but Taylor is going to see plenty of looks as well.

JaCorey Sullivan is a poor man’s Pimpleton. Pimpleton gets more targets, but Sullivan was close to him in yardage and costs a whole lot less.

Bargain Shoppers:

The unrest at the QB position for Ohio has me questioning everyone on the offense. I fail to see why Shane Hooks is more expensive than Isiah Cox though. Cox had 13 more receptions and 148 more yards than Cooks last year. I’ll take Cox and the discount if using an Ohio receiver.

Central Michigan returns all three receivers that topped 500 receiving yards last year. Tyrone Scott is a great GPP target because he led the Chippewas in yards per reception last year and was second to Pimpleton in touchdowns.

If you subscribe to the belief that Akron is going to have to throw to keep within shouting distance, I have a little bit of good news. Nate Stewart and Julian Hicks were the two reception leaders for the Zips last year. Stewart is the deep guy, but Hicks will likely get more targets on short routes.

Jarius Grissom is the Swiss Army knife of the Eastern Michigan offense. He was a running back last year that took some snaps under center and now he has moved to wide receiver. There’s a chance that he’s even the top backup to Hutchinson under center. He is a huge risk as a man that basically has no position, but he can do some damage if he sees enough snaps.
