Quarterback
Stud
Eli Holstein, Pitt at UNC, $9,000– Holstein is having a great year at Pitt with already over 1,100 passing yards and 12 passing TDs through just four games. This UNC defense has some major issues after giving up 70 points to JMU just two weeks ago. This could be a chance for Holstein to sling it all game and put up some monster numbers.
Other Options- Carson Beck ($8,800), Kyron Drones ($8,500)
Value
Tyler Shough, Louisville vs. SMU, $7,000– Last week against Notre Dame was a tough matchup for Louisville and Shough still had a really productive game, throwing for 264 yards and 3 TDs. This SMU defense is much more attackable and it gave up nearly 400 passing yards to Josh Hoover and TCU a couple of weeks ago. Louisville should go pass-heavy to exploit those weaknesses in the secondary, allowing Shough to have a big game.
Other Option- LaNorris Sellers ($5,800)
Running Back
Stud
Nicholas Singleton, Penn State vs. UCLA, $7,300- Singleton is having another monster year at Penn State and this is a great matchup for him. Penn State should be able to rack up points against this UCLA defense that is 105th in opponent points per game. If Penn State jumps out to an early lead, it will just be feeding Singleton and he will be able to rack up yards and hopefully get into the end zone a couple of times.
Other Options- Trevor Etienne ($7,000), Desmond Reid ($8,300)
Value
Raheim Sanders, South Carolina vs. Ole Miss, $5,000– Ole Miss is yet to face a dangerous rushing attack this season and South Carolina should test that front seven on Saturday. Sanders got hurt early on in South Carolina’s last game but he had two weeks to recover and should be ready to go for this game. Against LSU, Sanders had 143 yards and 2 TDs and should be motivated to put up some big numbers again with another SEC opponent in town.
Other Options- Nate Noel ($6,000), Le’Veon Moss ($5,500)
Wide Receiver
Stud
Brennan Presley, Oklahoma State vs. WVU, $7,400- Presley is averaging 8.8 yards per catch this season and has scored a touchdown in every game but one. West Virginia’s pass defense ranks 111th in the country and Presley should be able to feast against that secondary. OK State is in desperate need of a win and it will take a serious effort from the Cowboys to ensure they get their season back on track. Presley should be the beneficiary of that aggressive offensive approach.
Other Options- Ryan Williams ($7,300), Elic Ayomanor ($6,400)
Value
KeAndre Lambert-Smith, Auburn at Georgia, $5,400- Unfortunately, Lambert-Smith doesn’t have Jalen Milroe throwing to him so it’s hard to expect a Ryan Williams-level performance, but Alabama did prove that Georgia has some major issues in its secondary. Lambert-Smith is the go-to guy in this Auburn offense and should be able to create a couple of explosive plays. Georgia is also likely to be leading for most of this game, which means Auburn will need to be aggressive and throw the football to try to keep up with the Dawgs. Lambert-Smith is averaging over a touchdown a game and will hopefully find the end zone again here.
Other Option- Tyler Warren ($5,600)
Flex/Superflex
You can use any of the other names I listed in the above categories for the flex or superflex positions. However, here are a few more names, just in case.
Stud
Omarion Hampton, RB, UNC vs. Pitt, $8,700- Hampton is the nation’s third-leading rusher this season. If UNC wants to hang with Pitt’s offense, it will need to get Hampton going early and often as he is the key to its offense. It should be another big game for Hampton as every game this season has been.
Other Options- Anthony Colandrea, QB ($9,200), Jeremiah Smith, WR ($7,600)
Value
Dylan Raiola, QB, Nebraska vs. Rutgers, $5,400- Raiola isn’t putting up insane video game numbers but he is consistently putting up solid numbers and throwing for a couple of touchdowns almost every week. At this price, there is a ton of value on Raiola, who has been as steady as it gets this year. This should be a competitive game against Rutgers where the Nebraska offense relies on Raiola to put some really nice drives together, which should result in him putting up solid numbers.
Other Option- Harrison Wallace III, WR ($5,200), Germie Bernard, WR ($5,000)
