Quarterback
Stud
Cade Klubnik, Clemson vs. SMU, $9,000 – Cade Klubnik is having a big year in the Clemson offense. He has over 3,000 passing yards on the season and has been a very productive rusher as well. In his past four games, he has eight passing touchdowns and three rushing touchdowns. SMU is 85th in the nation in passing yards allowed so Klubnik should be able to move the ball through the air. Klubnik will need to have a big game for Clemson to keep up with the exciting SMU offense and he should follow through on the expectations.
Other Option – Quinn Ewers ($8,200)
Value
Kevin Jennings, SMU vs. Clemson, $6,900 – Kevin Jennings has had a big year for SMU. Their season transformed when he took over as quarterback for SMU. Jennings is averaging 288.7 passing yards and 2.2 passing touchdowns per game over his past six games. He also has two rushing touchdowns and has been productive on the ground over that same stretch. Last week, LaNorris Sellers tore up the Clemson defense using his legs and in the passing game. Jennings should be able to have a similar level of production in this game for SMU.
Other Option – Drew Allar ($7,000)
Running Back
Stud
Cam Skattebo, Arizona State vs. Iowa State, $10,300 – Cam Skattebo has been one of the best running backs in the country this season. He has helped lead this Arizona State team to the Big 12 Championship Game, ranking 8th in the nation in rushing yards and 9th in rushing touchdowns. Iowa State’s pass defense has been really strong but they rank 71st in the country in defensive EPA/rush. Skattebo has 147+ rushing yards in five of his past seven games. Skattebo also has 14 total touchdowns over that seven-game stretch. He should have another monster game in the Big 12 Championship Game.
Other Option – Jordan James ($7,700)
Value
Nicholas Singleton, Penn State vs. Oregon, $6,600 – Singleton and Kaytron Allen have shared the load in the Penn State backfield for most of this season. However, in the last two weeks, Singleton has emerged as the dominant runner for Penn State. Singleton has 13 carries each of the past two games and combined for 150 rushing yards and three touchdowns in those two games. Singleton also had nine receptions over that two-game stretch so he is stepping up his production as a receiver out of the backfield as well. The Oregon defense can be exploited on the ground. They rank 79th in the nation in defensive EPA/rush so Singleton should be able to pick up some big chunks and find the end zone in this game.
Other Option – Quintrevion Wisner ($6,300)
Wide Receiver
Stud
Tyler Warren, Penn State vs. Oregon, $7,700 – Tyler Warren has been Penn State’s best offensive weapon this season. Warren is 23rd in the nation in receiving yards and second among tight ends. He is also tenth in the country in receptions and has an underrated rushing aspect of his game as well. Warren has ten total touchdowns on the season, with six coming through the air and four coming on the ground. Penn State loves to come up with unique ways to get Warren the ball in the red zone and for a game as important as this one, they almost certainly have something up their sleeve. Warren should have a really productive game against Oregon, as he always does.
Other Option – Jayden Higgins ($7,500)
Value
Antonio Williams, Clemson vs. SMU, $6,400 – Antonio Williams is Clemson’s leader in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns this season, all by a wide margin. Williams’ ten receiving touchdowns rank him in the top ten in the country in receiving touchdowns this season. Williams is also coming off his second-best receiving game of the year against a very good South Carolina defense, going for 99 yards on eight catches. SMU is the fourth-best rushing defense in the country so Clemson will need to attack them through the air. They rank 85th in passing yards per game allowed so Williams should get plenty of action through the air.
Other Option – Jaylin Noel ($6,500)
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
Brashard Smith, RB, SMU vs. Clemson, $8,200 – Clemson has had major issues stopping the run this season. They rank 113th in defensive EPA/rush and allow over 150 rushing yards per game this season. Last week, South Carolina ran for a ridiculous 267 yards against the Clemson defense. Brashard Smith is the main man on the ground for the Mustangs. Smith has over 1,100 rushing yards on the season and over his past five games, he has seven rushing touchdowns. Smith also has two receiving touchdowns during that same five-game stretch and just had his best receiving game of the season with 66 yards last week against Cal. Smith should be in for a big ACC Championship Game against Clemson.
Other Option – Dillon Gabriel, QB ($8,600)
Value
Bill Davis, RB, Louisiana vs. Marshall, $4,900 – The Group of Five championship games deserve some love as well and I love the value o\f Bill Davis from Louisiana. Davis has only gotten better as the season has gone on and has six touchdowns in his past four games for the Ragin’ Cajuns. Marshall’s defense is very susceptible to the run game as well so this is a good matchup for Davis. Marshall ranks 104th in defensive EPA/rush but ranks 35th in defensive EPA/pass. They are really solid through the air but have struggled to defend the run game so this should be a big game for Davis.
Other Option – Isaiah Bond, WR ($5,100)
