Best College Football Week 3 DFS Picks
Quarterback
Stud
Gunner Stockton, Georgia at Arkansas, $9,200
Gunner Stockton has been flawless to start the season for Georgia. Through two games, he has eight passing touchdowns and only four incompletions. This is a step-up in competition against Arkansas, as it’s the first conference game on the schedule for Georgia. However, Arkansas is potentially the worst team in the conference this season. Stockton should throw for multiple touchdowns again and could use his legs more in this game to rack up some rushing stats as well.
Value
Lincoln Kienholz, Louisville vs. SMU, $7,400
Lincoln Kienholz has been one of the best quarterbacks in the country through this very early part of the season. Kienholz has thrown for at least 300 yards in both games so far, and has seven total touchdowns. He can put up decent numbers on the ground, as well as his big passing stats. That makes him an ideal value play in DFS this week.
Running Back
Stud
King Miller, USC at Rutgers, $7,500
King Miller was fantastic running the ball for USC last week. He carried the ball 18 times for 128 yards and a score. In USC’s first Big 10 game of the season, Miller should see plenty of action. The Trojans are on the road, which means they might lean more on the ground game early, giving Jayden Maiava a chance to settle into the game. Rutgers ranks 108th in the nation in defensive EPA/rush this season and should have no answer for Miller.
Value
Matt Fuller, South Carolina vs. Mississippi State, $4,900
The South Carolina offense is tough to gauge as they have played really poor competition so far. However, the Gamecocks have looked sharp in their new Kendal Briles system. Matt Fuller has been the featured back so far, with 21 carries across two games. Fuller has scored a touchdown in both games, and rushed for 125 yards last week against Towson. While it’s been a good start to the season for Mississippi State, the run defense has been their biggest weakness. They rank 99th in the nation in defensive rushing success rate. Fuller should lead a strong Gamecock running game in this game.
Wide Receiver
Stud
Jeremiah Smith, Ohio State vs. Kent State, $8,400
Jeremiah Smith is just on another level this season. He is clearly the best receiver, and possibly the best overall player, in the country. Smith had eight catches for over 150 yards in both games so far this season. He has also scored three touchdowns through those first two games. He had almost identical stats, despite one game being against Ball State and one being against Texas. That tells us Julian Sayin will be looking to feed Smith whether they are facing elite competition or inferior competition. Kent State has nobody that can hang with Smith, and he should have another monster game.
Value
Kayden Dixon-Wyatt, USC at Rutgers, $5,200
USC will be without its star wide receiver Trent Mosley for this game. Mosley has been the main man in this offense through the first three games. With Mosley out, somebody else will need to step up. The WR2 for USC so far this season has been Kayden Dixon-Wyatt. Dixon-Wyatt has 13 catches for 181 yards and two scores so far this season. With Mosley on the sidelines, Dixon-Wyatt should see an even bigger target share than he has in the last couple of weeks. Against a very vulnerable Rutgers defense, Dixon-Wyatt should put up some solid numbers.
