College football DFS picks November 26: All in on Jaylen
By Mike Marteny
College football DFS wide receiver picks November 26:
Top Tier:
Colorado State is the only pass heavy team on this slate, so most will load up on Colorado State receivers. I can’t really disagree with that, especially when Trey McBride has caught at least one touchdown in every game. He might have the best floor, but I see more upside with Dante Wright.
Wright hasn’t reached the end zone yet, but he has over 100 yards receiving in both games that he has played in. The Rams have even given him carries out of the backfield due to the relative ineffectiveness of the unit as a whole.
Middle Tier:
Jordan Kress is the favorite target of Trae Hall, but if Tuioti is back in there, use Emmanuel Logan-Greene instead. Tuioti prefers him. The Lobos offense is also far more balanced with Tuioti under center. If Hall starts, Kress is the least risk of many risky options.
Brandon Lewis is kind of a hybrid everything for Air Force right now, but usage doesn’t always equal big numbers. Lewis only has one touchdown through three games, and with the emergence of Roberts as the workhorse back, you need Lewis to get many targets and that just doesn’t happen in this offense. He’s a big risk.
Justin McGriff is the most talented Utah State receiver, but that doesn’t mean much if the quarterback struggles. If you’re rolling the dice with Cooper Legas though, McGriff is the guy to pair him with. Someone will have to step up with Deven Thompkins transferring. Savon Scarver is a burner. Jordan Nathan and Derek Wright have been seldom used so far, but that’s going to change for at least one of them.
Bargain Shoppers:
If you need to go cheap at receiver, Andrew Erickson is a solid option. He’s not a big play guy, but both New Mexico quarterbacks look for him regularly.
Kyle Patterson leads Air Force in receptions if you feel like going down a road less traveled. He has at least one catch in every game as well. That’s a good floor for an Air Force receiver.
