College football DFS wide receiver picks December 10:

Top Tier:

Jordan Addison was one of the few productive Panthers against Clemson. This should come as a surprise to no one. However, Addison isn’t usually the guy that finds paydirt. He only has one touchdown since week 5. That came last week against Clemson. The sheer volume and the propensity of most teams on this slate to run makes Addison worth the price though.

If Whatley is back, Tim Jones is an excellent plan B. He is targeted a lot more with Whatley taking snaps. It’s not really fair to say that Lowe doesn’t target him. Lowe just can’t throw it to him. Jones is always heavily involved in the offense.

Middle Tier:

Adonicas Sanders is one of the largest dart throws on the slate. He only has 15 receptions and one touchdown on the season. Eight of those catches came last week and the touchdown came the week before that. He’s far more of a value on FanDuel than DraftKings though.

TJ Chase still gets most of the targets for FAU, but Jordan Merrell was the leading receiver against Georgia Southern. That may be a bit of a product of Tronti taking back over at QB for a bit. Chase is still the option with the better floor.

Bargain Shoppers:

Taysir Mack used to be the clear number two receiver for Pitt, but it seems like those days are long over. DJ Turner looks like the clear number two behind Addison and Jared Wayne is starting to come on strong. I want to say that Mack looks too cheap, but I don’t think that’s really the case anymore. Pay up for Turner if you want someone to go with Addison in your Pitt stack.

The most consistent Georgia Tech receiver remains Jalen Camp, but that doesn’t mean much right now. This is still a team that runs a lot since the QB is more comfortable running than passing at this stage of his career. All Georgia Tech receivers are big risks.

Don’t worry too much about the Pitt stats against Clemson. Most other teams can’t do that to them. Shocky Jacques-Louis had at least three receptions in four straight games before the Clemson debacle. That’s a great bargain for the price.
