Late College football DFS picks November 21: BOOMER!
By Mike Marteny
College football DFS wide receiver picks November 21:
Top Tier:
Tylan Wallace has arguably the highest ceiling on the entire slate. I’m an Oklahoma fan. Trust me when I say that the only corners I’ve seen worse than ours this year are Michigan’s. Wallace could be in for a monster and his floor is that of someone usually priced near five figures.
Missouri’s defense is built on making the big play and keeping teams out of the end zone. However, the huge target share for Shi Smith makes him a strong play any week. I don’t think we’ll see any sweeping changes to the South Carolina offense right away, so Smith could have a very nice game here.
Seth Williams has a higher ceiling than Anthony Schwartz, but I prefer the consistency of Schwartz. This is a solid matchup for the Auburn receivers here.
Liberty runs a whole lot, so their receivers being priced up is enough for me to fade the whole unit. Kevin Shaa is probably the safest pick, but don’t be fooled by the huge numbers against Western Carolina last week. If NC State can’t stop the run, Liberty wont stop running.
Middle Tier:
Marvin Mims is too cheap for the number one receiver in what could be a high scoring game. I think Wallace is too cheap as well. The same is true for Mims.
Bo Melton is the guy who can really create problems for the Michigan secondary. He’s going to see a ton of targets in this one. Wisconsin transfer Aron Cruickshank is an excellent play on the cheap as well. If you use Vedral, use one or both receivers.
Washington got the ball to Terrell Bynum on the ground and through the air. He’ll get touches no matter what, so that gives him a strong floor against a porous Arizona defense.
This is a nice matchup for Michigan receivers, but I can’t name one that I trust enough to use. Cornelius Johnson probably has the best upside and comes a lot cheaper than Ronnie Bell, but Bell is really the only sure thing.
Emeka Emezie is catching four passes, so you know what his floor is. He has four receptions in each of the last four games. Chances of him getting a touchdown are 50/50. I like those odds for a value play. Last week was the coming out party for Thayer Thomas. However, he only had 16 receptions in seven games leading up to that outburst. He is a fine GPP play though.
Missouri uses Jalen Knox all over the field as well. He leads the Tigers in receptions and yards. This is the place to use him at a nice little discount.
Bargain Shoppers:
Stanley Berryhill looks underpriced here. Gunnell looked to him the most against USC. Arizona receivers are risky due to Washington’s strong secondary, but Berryhill is plenty cheap enough to take a flier on. He’s the only one I would.
When will George Pickens break out? It could be here with the dawning of the JT Daniels era in Athens. He’s a big risk, but there is massive reward potential with Pickens.
Both Theo Wease and Charleston Rambo are very cheap here. Rattler doesn’t seem to have an overwhelming favorite, so anyone outside of Mims is a risk. They could be a risk worth taking though. Rambo feels way too cheap. So does Haselwood if Oklahoma is going to start working him into the offense.
Landon Wolf has the best floor of the receiver punts on this slate, but I’m not sure how high the upside is. He’s playing Oklahoma, but he’s not a huge playmaker. Still, if he gets double digits for this price, you’re way ahead of schedule.
