College football DFS running back picks November 26:

Top Tier:

Air Force finally has their running back. Brad Roberts was an absolute monster against New Mexico after Jackson was unavailable. He was very good in mop up duty against Navy as well, but Roberts proved to be everything Air Force needs in a back. He ran 27 times for 177 yards and three scores against the Lobos. Colorado State has had a solid run defense, but I still see Roberts having a strong game.

The Utah State offense is going to run through Jaylen Warren here. That’s good news for us. We saw what Roberts did to the New Mexico run defense last week. Warren may not quite have a game like that with uncertainty at quarterback, but Warren is probably going to be the highest scoring back on this slate.

Middle Tier:

The Colorado State running back situation is a little murky right now. Converted receiver A’Jon Vivens leads the team in rushing thanks to many nagging injuries to Marcus McElroy. McElroy is expected to be in uniform, but it’s unknown if he will be the feature back. To me, both are too big of risks against a solid run defense like Air Force.

Bargain Shoppers:

The whole New Mexico offense struggled against Air Force, so we get most of them at a pretty good discount here. Bobby Cole seems to be the feature back, but when the entire stable of running backs had less than 15 carries, it’s hard to tell. The quarterback is going to be the leading rusher, but the offense as a whole is better with Tuioti in there. Even Nathaniel Jones is in play should Tuioti start.
