College football DFS wide receiver picks December 5:

Top Tier:

We know that Stingley is going to shadow DeVonta Smith, but will it matter? The SEC has strong corners all over the place and Smith has made most of them look bad. I like Smith here, but considering all of the attention he’ll be drawing, if I’m only using one Bama receiver, it will be John Metchie. He is stupid cheap on DraftKings.

The return of Trevor Lawrence led to a bit of an uptick in targets for Amari Rodgers. After a bit of a slow start, Rogers has at least 18 DraftKings points in each of the last five games. He also hasn’t been under double digits in a game this year. That kind of floor is hard to find at any position.

Middle Tier:

Instead of running with Mike Harley, I think I’d rather go with Cornell Powell again. He had another monster game last week even with Lawrence back in the mix. Stacking the Clemson receivers seems like a great idea on this slate.

Baylor’s pass defense has been surprisingly effective, so I don’t know if running Marvin Mims is effective here. Oklahoma spreads the ball around a lot. Kekoa Crawford and Shi Smith look like much better options in this tier. And if you are running Charlie Brewer, pairing him with R.J. Sneed seems to be the way to go.

Bargain Shoppers:

Josh Ali has a fairly low ceiling due to Kentucky’s few pass attempts, but the Wildcats like to try to get him the ball any way they can. That’s a nice perk for a value play.

The target share of K.D. Nixon at such a low price gives him a higher than normal chance of destroying value. He got seven targets in his first game against San Diego State, a game in which Colorado was content to run the ball. Nixon is my favorite value play besides Metchie, and that’s only because Metchie’s ceiling is somewhere in the realm of Saturn.
