A quick note on these picks. We are always putting up plays relative to price. There are a million studs going on this slate. We are trying to narrow down the field for you when putting together lineups. I'm sure there will be an element of "Where's so and so? He's great." We don't want to offer up every player. In our cheatsheet we delve more into the why's behind certain players. But in this writeup we are trying to give players we think you can use in lineups who will perform well based on their price.
Quarterback
Trevone Boykin
So I'll get the obvious out of the way; he's the most expensive player on the board and it’s always easy to recommend the best player at a position, but I'm here to tell you that others may shy away due to his hefty tag. It will be their loss. Even at his crazy price our system has Boykin as one of the single highest multiplier guy at any price at any position. I won't go as far to say he's a lock because that’s a tough camp to be in with a 10k salary, but if you can find value at other positions Boykin is one of the safest options. TCU just allowed SMU's Matt Davis to pass for 330 yards and now the Air Raid offense comes to town. No disrespect to my man Davis, but his passing ability is nowhere near that of Mahomes and Texas Tech. TCU sits as a 6.5 favorite with a total around 80, that’s eight-zero. A close game with a huge total translates to the Horned Frogs' star possibly putting together his best game yet. If you read our ebook on CFB DFS you know there's an elite class of quarterbacks whose coefficient of variation is significantly lower because they do everything: run, pass and effect the game in a multitude of ways. Boykin is this player. His floor is ridiculously high.
Kendall Hinton
Hinton came in last week after starter, John Wolford, went down with an injury. The former led Wake Forest to a come from behind victory over Army. The stat line wasn’t great, but Kendall showed he’s not afraid to pull it down and run, racking up 101 yards and two score on 17 attempts. Indiana comes to town this week and they have had trouble stopping just about everyone this year. He is one of the lower priced options at the position and with his rushing ability offers a solid floor. He also threw two interceptions last week and completed just over 50% of his passes, but again, this play is about Hinton the runner and not Kendall the passer. Obviously contingent on Wolford missing the game, but all reports are indicating he will not play.
Running Backs
C.J. Prosise
Prosise started the year as RB2 for the Fighting Irish and has been since thrust into the starting gig due to a season ending injury to Tarean Folston. I'm not sure if it was nerves or just a matter of getting more comfortable in the offense, but Prosise has progressed each week and now looks every bit of a workhorse back. A week after losing Folston the Irish also lost their starting QB Malik Zaire to a season ending injury which makes Prosise that much more valuable. There doesn’t appear to be any hesitation from the coaching staff allowing C.J. to carry the Irish the rest of the way. Last week Prosise finished with 22 carries for 198 yards and 3 scores against Georgia Tech, who was arguably the toughest defense they have faced year to date. This week Notre Dame will take on UMass and I fully expect another Bell Cow workload from Prosise. His price has steadily climbed, but he still offers great value and safety at his current salary.
Chris Carson
After catching the eye of the coaching staff in camp Carson has yet to hit the main stream. That could all change this weekend. Quick side note: He will be in almost 100% of my Draftkings cash lineups, but with the pricing difference on Fanduel I will not be playing him as often there. Last week Carson had his best game of the young season finishing with 104 yards and two touchdowns on just 17 carries. Texas will pose a stiffer test for Carson and Okie State, but the game is expected to be close with a total in the low 60’s so the Cowboys will need Carson more this week than any other.
Wide Receivers
Roger Lewis
Lewis comes in as the best points per dollar play at wide receiver and if you happened to catch a glimpse of what he did the past two weeks you would understand why. Over the past two weeks Lewis posted a 22/461/5 stat line. That’s some serious Tecmo type stats for all you NES geeks out there. Clearly that’s unsustainable production, but Lewis is option 1 and 2 in Bowling Green’s high flying offense. Bowling Green runs a fast paced attack with the very capable Matt Johnson so Lewis should once again see a great deal of targets, receptions, and yards. The touchdowns are the unpredictable part. As with most Bowling Green games the total is up there at 75 so there is ample opportunity for Lewis to provide a nice ROI.
Corey Coleman/Jay Lee
Coleman is the unquestioned WR1 here, but when you factor in price the waters become a little murky when choosing between the two. Baylor can score points in a hurry, but they have shone this year they are also capable of allowing points by giving up 31 to Lamar. That bodes well in the sense that even as 35 point favorites they will still have to put some points on the board to feel safe. Coleman went bananas last week with 182 yards and 4 touchdowns on 6 receptions. Lee, on the other hand, finished with 9 receptions for 111 yards. He didn’t find the end zone, but that cookie can crumble a different way any given week. These guys are the clear leading receivers for Baylor and it isn’t particularly close. Baylor is projected for roughly 55 points and you can bet one, if not both, of these guys play a significant role in lighting up the scoreboard.
Tight Ends
Tyler Higbee
Only time will tell, but Higbee showed flashes of real play making ability last year. If the first few weeks are any indication, we could have another Jace Amaro on our hands. Quick for extra credit; How many Amaro references have I made this season? It’s only been two years since he last played on a Saturday and it was on Draftstreet which no longer exists. But man they were the good ol' days. Higbee is the clearcut leader in TE target this season and he's starting to really cut into the production of the WKU receivers. Even being the highest priced TE on the slate doesn't outstrip his value.
