College football DFS wide receiver picks November 28:

Top Tier:

Wow, that’s a lofty tag on Elijah Moore. Before you balk at paying it though, realize that Mississippi State has allowed 256.7 passing yards per game and 17 passing touchdowns in seven games. Moore has back-to-back 200+ yard games. I think I like him more than DeVonta Smith on this slate.

This receiver slate is absolutely loaded. I like Ty Fryfogle almost as much as the top two. Moore probably has the highest upside on the entire slate, but Fryfogle will offer close to the same upside at a lower price.

Want to know how ridiculous the receivers are? Kadarious Toney is out of the top five in price. So is Kyle Pitts. I would recommend stacking receivers based on the quarterbacks you use. However, I prefer Pitts over Toney with Pitts back.

How in the world did Nebraska shut down Jahan Dotson? All I know is that Michigan wont. Dotson has a chance to break the slate at this price. He could have another monster game.

Middle Tier:

Cornell Powell went nuts on Notre Dame. Of course, this whole Clemson offense was different with Lawrence out. Maybe Clemson will incorporate some of these things into the offense with Lawrence back, but I don’t know that it’s worth taking the risk with so many good receivers on this slate.

Cornelius Johnson had a nice game last week and he’s in line for another one here. With a true passer at quarterback, Johnson has higher upside than usual.

Ramaud Chiaokhiao-Bowman is worth using against Michigan State. He is the only Northwestern receiver that you can trust at this point. RCB has a good floor, but the ceiling on Zay Flowers is probably higher.

Whop Philyor is a nice play here as well. Both Philyor and Fryfogle had nice games against Ohio State. It should be even better against Maryland, though it’s hard to imagine Fryfogle being much better than he was against the Buckeyes.

Both Maryland receivers are solid options against Indiana. I don’t expect this to be a low scoring game. Rakim Jarrett has been the favorite target of Taulia lately, but Dontay Demus can’t be ignored either.

Bargain Shoppers:

The upside for Anthony Schwartz in this game is rather large. Auburn is going to have to throw a lot to stay in this game. Schwartz is most likely to get loose here, but there’s a risk using anyone against Alabama. The same is true for Pitt receivers. Taysir Mack is cheap enough that he’s worth the risk.

With Will Rogers under center, Jaden Walley has become the preferred receiver for Mississippi State. I don’t think any receiver on this team is a bad choice, but the price on Walley looks really nice.

Parker Washington is one of my favorite low priced receivers. I do think that the Penn State receivers are better with Clifford under center, so I will have plenty of exposure here.

There will be a few good pieces of this Kentucky offense. The key is choosing which pieces. Josh Ali is an interesting dart here. So is Kyric McGowan if the Wildcats continue to throw the call around the yard.
