College football DFS quarterback picks November 20:

Top Tier:

This is a massive price for Javion Posey, and I get it. UMass is one of the worst teams to ever take the field. However, it’s like paying top dollar for a RB. Posey only had 80 yards passing last game. You’re betting on his rushing ability and nothing else. That said, he’s not a bad play. I just have my doubts that FAU will risk him once this game is out of hand by halftime or so.

The Syracuse defense has had a couple of great games and a couple of bad games. There’s really no way to know what we’re getting. What I do know is that with Javian Hawkins opting out, Malik Cunningham is the Louisville offense. This game should stay competitive. Cunningham has way more upside than Posey on this slate.

Middle Tier:

I would say you could tempt the fate of a FAU blowout and run Nick Tronti, but in true DraftKings fashion, he’s way too expensive for a backup. However, I don’t hate the idea on FanDuel in large field GPP’s.

If Tevaka Tuioti is healthy, I really like him in this matchup. If it’s Trae Hall under center, he’s not a bad option either. Hall held his own against Nevada, so whichever New Mexico quarterback it is, I like the upside in the middle tier.

Air Force hasn’t revealed who is going to start at quarterback, so that throws a wrench into this. Haaziq Daniels was the starter before he got hurt against Boise. Warren Bryan played well with Daniels out, so who knows? All I know is that whichever one starts has a helluva nice fantasy matchup.

Bargain Shoppers:

Aidan O’Connell is a slate breaker if he starts. Minnesota’s defense has been that bad. If he’s out, Jack Plummer is more than worth a GPP dart.

Syracuse hasn’t decided on a quarterback either, but JaCobian Morgan looked solid against Boston College. If he starts, you can consider him. Even Will Koch is an interesting GPP dart at that low of a price. The only guy I wouldn’t touch is Tanner Morgan. Minnesota’s passing game is almost as questionable as their defense.
