College football DFS wide receiver picks November 21:

Top Tier:

I do think that Devonta Smith still has a big game, but how big? I could see both Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave going over his total, especially if Indiana manages to keep the game fairly close. Ohio State’s run game leaves a lot to be desired, but the passing game is elite.

We see Kyle Trask throwing all of these touchdowns, but where are they all going? Kadarius Toney only has seven of them and hasn’t caught one since the Missouri game. Toney is one of my favorites here, especially with Kyle Pitts out. Pitts has eight of those touchdowns. Trevon Grimes is also a nice pick and he comes pretty cheap.

Terrace Marshall is capable of big games, and though the Arkansas defense is pretty good, we saw the Gators were a problem for the Piggies. Marshall is an interesting GPP pick on this slate.

Middle Tier:

CCU may have troubles running the ball, which would increase the likelihood of Jaivon Heiligh having a good game. He is the go-to guy for McCall. I expect a strong game out of Heiligh here.

If Ty Fryfogle is healthy, I like him even against the Buckeyes. He dropped two Benjamins on Michigan State last week with a pair of touchdowns. Whop Philyor is a great option if Fryfogle is out, especially for the price. I think I want a value Hoosier receiver against Ohio State. The Buckeyes are allowing 224.3 passing yards per game even if they aren’t giving up much for touchdowns.

If you are after Franks, pair him with Treylon Burks. Burks is the guy most likely to burn a LSU corner in this one. If that’s too much of a risk for you, there’s always boring old John Metchie. He’s guaranteed a touchdown and somewhere near triple digits against Kentucky.

Nebraska is using Wan’Dale Robinson all over the field. He returns kicks, he lines up at receiver, and he’ll get carries out of the backfield. The sheer volume against a defense like Illinois makes Robinson an enticing option on the cheap.

Bargain Shoppers:

Iowa State is not using their receivers nearly as much this year. Hall and Charlie Kolar are the main targets in the passing game. Kolar is a walking touchdown at this point and he sees a nice number of targets at well.

I’m a big fan of Ontaria Wilson, but I don’t like the matchup. Both Tre Tucker and Parker Washington look safer. Even Ramaud Chiaokhiao-Bowman is a nice pick since Peyton Ramsey has been looking to him a lot in recent games.

If Taysir Mack is out, Jordan Addison is a nice value pick just on targets alone. If Mack plays, he’s a nice play based on price. Pitt is going to throw against the Hokies.

Zavier Betts is an absolute burner. This is a great matchup against Illinois, and though he’s not taking a ton of snaps for Nebraska yet, they desperately need another playmaker at receiver. Betts looks like he could be that guy.

Peyton Hendershot is too cheap against Ohio State. He’s the ever-important checkdown to Penix against an aggressive defense. Even if Hendershot doesn’t find the end zone, he should still put up solid numbers on receptions alone.
