College football DFS running back picks November 6:

Top Tier:

The San Jose State run defense has been solid, but I still have no issues running Greg Bell against them. His ceiling is a little lower because of the backfield committee, but when he does get the ball, you know that he’s fresh. Bell has 41 carries for 268 yards. He’ll get you enough.

Tyler Allgeier has at least 15 DraftKings points in every game but the Troy game this year. He is the most consistent commodity at running back on this slate. He has ample upside in a loaded lineup. This isn’t the best matchup, but someone from BYU is going to have a big game. Allgeier could be that guy.

Middle Tier:

Cam’ron Harris has had three terrible matchups (and terrible weather games) in a row. He’ll break back out here against NC State’s run defense that is allowing 182 yards per game on the ground. It wouldn’t shock me to see Harris turn in the highest total among running backs on this slate.

Lopini Katoa is every bit as consistent as Algeier. His totals come out just a little lower. BYU isn’t afraid to use both and you shouldn’t be either. Neither has a high ceiling, but both have really good floors.

Bargain Shoppers:

Boise hasn’t disclosed the extent of Holani’s injury either. Andrew Van Buren was solid in relief, but rather than run him against the BYU defense, I’d rather use Chance Bell. San Diego State runs the ball a lot.

Jaylan Knighton is one to watch here as well. The Hurricanes like his upside, but with Harris running as well as he is, Knighton wont take the job. The carries were split more towards even against Virginia though, so Knighton has high upside for a punt.
