College football DFS wide receiver picks November 7:

Top Tier:

Tylan Wallace is the home run threat that could really give Kansas State problems, but honestly, the top of running back is so much better that I’m inclined to fade most of the expensive receivers. Wallace might have the most upside. Rashod Bateman has the best matchup.

Marvin Mims is a lock at this price, but there’s also a chance that Oklahoma just runs the ball all over Kansas. Mims is the one receiver that should still put up good numbers though.

I do expect Kyle Pitts to be targeted a lot against Georgia, but that defense is super tough. I’d rather take Whop Philyor against the Michigan corners that couldn’t cover my mother last week.

Look out for Keith Corbin. Cincinnati’s defense is good, but with Stevenson out, Corbin is going to see around 20 targets. How many of those he catches is up for debate. If you’re looking for more of a sure thing in this area, Erik Ezukanma is the choice. He had three catches in the first 45 seconds last week. The volume on Ezukanma will help offset a potentially lower scoring game.

Middle Tier:

Again, if you’re on Maryland, I don’t know how you fade Dontay Demus here. Jeshaun Jones is the home run hitter, but he carries extra risk. Penn State’s defense isn’t terrible. Ohio State is going to make a lot of good defenses look bad this year.

Chris Autman-Bell has the potential for as big of a game as Bateman and he’s a fraction of the price. He’s my favorite piece of the Minnesota passing game here. Ricky White is also criminally underpriced. So much so that I’m even ignoring Theo Wease in this range.

DraftKings finally moved Austin Stogner to WR, but his price is still very affordable. My only issue is that Oklahoma only uses him when they need him. They wont need him against Kansas. We can do better. I’d much rather use Brian Hightower or Josh Imatorbhebhe. Imatorbhebhe has been the focal point of every defense against Illinois because they don’t have other offensive weapons. Hightower is changing that.

Bargain Shoppers:

Nathaniel Dell was great at a fill in for Stevenson last week. He may even be a safer play than Corbin. I don’t see a big game from any Houston receiver, so I’d rather play the cheap one and hope for a half dozen catches.

There’s a good chance that Alec Pierce will be out, so Michael Young and Tre Tucker are looking really good in this price range. Young was more of a factor after Pierce departed. Josh Whyle is a nice pick too due to the targets he gets.

You know I’m a sucker for Britain Covey. He finally has a QB with a good deep arm, but this year I’m going to make him prove something before I let him ruin my lineups.

Ty Fryfogle and Kwamie Lassiter are basically free and in games where their teams should be trailing and throwing a lot. One of these games Sam James is going to go off. It could be here against the Texas secondary. The issue is that West Virginia spreads the ball around to everyone. Bryce Ford-Wheaton is the home run threat and the safer pick.

Spencer Sanders likes Landon Wolf, and Wolf is super cheap. However, he’s still a little touchdown dependent and a fairly big risk
