College football DFS picks December 4: All in on CameRUN

College football DFS wide receiver picks December 4:

Top Tier:

Khalil Shakir is the most expensive player on the slate and for good reason. He is hauling in 7.5 passes per game and averaging 106 yards and a touchdown per game. Now the bad news: UNLV is a terrible defense. Isn’t that a good thing? Sometimes yes, but in a game that promises to be a blowout, Boise may not keep the starters in for more than three quarters. With a tag like this on Shakir, it makes him a bit of a risk.

Middle Tier:

The bad part is that everyone else below Shakir carries at least as much risk. We have four teams on this slate that would rather run than throw. Malik Williams had a monster game against Troy and was good against CCU. I still think I prefer Thomas Hennigan though. Hennigan is a proven commodity that doesn’t rely on the big play for production. It also limits his ceiling.

Kyle Williams has more than a quarter of UNLV’s receptions and has 11 more than the next closest receiver. UNLV doesn’t throw much, but when they do, Williams is a favorite target. He’s riding a streak of three straight double digit fantasy point games.

Shakir is the guy for Boise, but CT Thomas is nice for the price. Thomas doesn’t get the target share, but he catches most of what’s thrown to him. The risk here is the same as with Shakir though. Boise may not throw that much because they wont need to.

Bargain Shoppers:

At some point Kyren Lacy appeared to take over as the preferred target for Levi Lewis. Peter LeBlanc still gets plenty of targets, but Lacy seems to be the guy you want. Louisiana does have 17 passing touchdowns this year, but those have gone to 12 different receivers. This is a total crapshoot.

Noah Bean is a nice cheap target. He has 14 receptions in four games. That gives him a good floor for a punt play. Opposing teams have made a concerted effort to take Tyleek Collins out of the pass game. That leaves Bean chewing up points on checkdown routes.
