College football DFS running back picks November 20:

Top Tier:

The price on Mohamed Ibrahim is down a little. It’s still in our best interest to consider him. However, much like last week, this is a tougher matchup for Ibrahim. Considering the state of the Minnesota passing game and Purdue’s run defense, Zander Horvath is likely the better pick. Minnesota has allowed a whopping 256 rushing yards per game. Horvath is a lock in every format and will be in all of my lineups.

Middle Tier:

This is also a huge spot for Malcolm Davidson. The UMass defense is far worse than the offense. This FAU team finally clicked on offense last week. We are going to see a show this week and Davidson is one of the cheaper pieces of it that is guaranteed to be a factor.

Sean Tucker is the only consistent piece of the Syracuse offense, but with the inconsistency in the passing game, opposing defenses have keyed in on him. Louisville’s defense hasn’t been all that good, so Tucker is an interesting play. If you do take the plunge, it’s likely best to run him naked.

Bargain Shoppers:

There are conflicting reports coming out of Louisville as to who will take over for Hawkins. Hassan Hall would be the likely pick and he’s really cheap. Burkley and Jalen Mitchell promise to be in the mix as well. This situation is really a GPP only consideration, but Hall could be very nice for the price.

It looks like Kaden Remsburg may still be out. If he is, Timothy Jackson is in a great spot. If Remsburg is active, switch to him instead. Both are reasonably priced against a porous New Mexico defense.
