College football DFS quarterback picks December 3:

Top Tier:

Andrew Peasley’s first career start was a successful one, but it’s one thing to rack up numbers on New Mexico. It’s quite another to do it to Air Force. I doubt Peasley gets to the Falcons with his legs the way he did against the Lobos and there’s no way he’s accounting for four touchdowns again. I would use caution before paying up for Peasley.

Middle Tier:

This is a great matchup for North Texas, but it’s likely both quarterbacks will split time again. It’s unlikely that Jason Bean is able to hold off Austin Aune if Bean was as bad as he was last week, but this is an extremely risky situation. I’m considering running both just to take advantage of the great matchup. One is going to have a good game, but which one?

Bargain Shoppers:

The lower tier of quarterback honestly isn’t much better. Luke Anthony keeps ceding snaps to Aaron Allen and was outright replaced by him (we think) in the UAB game…..the last game the Bulldogs played back on Halloween.  I like Allen more here, but they will likely both take snaps.

The leaves us with Haaziq Daniels. You know, the guy who has only attempted 31 passes in four games. You’re not going for any passing bonuses with Daniels. You’re hoping for his rushing ability. The caveat is that Daniels has fumbled four times, losing two, over the last two games. He carries sizeable risk, but not nearly as much as the dual quarterback situations that plague this slate.
