In this article, I will be breaking down the CFB Fanduel Plays 12/12/20. I will provide a few of my favorite and top plays from each position to help you construct your lineups and cash on the main slate tomorrow. I want to note if I leave a play out of my article that doesn’t necessarily mean that play is a bad one. If you have any questions on the slate feel free to DM me in discord. Here are the CFB Fanduel Plays 12/12/20.
Quarterbacks:
Kyle Trask ($11,200) vs LSU
Let’s start right at the top with Trask who is playing his final game of his senior season in the swamp. He has put together a nice Heisman resume throwing for 3,243 yards, 38 touchdowns and just 3 interceptions. He gets a LSU defense who continues to be shredded by opposing offenses. The LSU defense is giving up 313.1 passing yards, 9.7 YPA and 2.4 touchdowns through the air this season. Florida also has the 2nd highest implied team total on the slate at 45.50 and are 23.5 point favorites. Trask should get at least three quarters in against LSU. Assuming this game is a blowout.
D’Eriq King ($10,500) vs North Carolina
Another top option is King from Miami. The game between Miami/North Carolina carries the highest over/under on the slate at 69.5 with only a small 2.5 point spread. This game should and could be a shootout between the two ACC teams. The North Carolina defense isn’t anything special as they are giving up 28.5 fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this season which is 3rd highest on the slate. King also has rushing upside as he has gone over 10+ carries in six straight games.
Adrian Martinez ($8,800) vs Minnesota
I like Martinez if you are looking for a mid-tier/value play at quarterback. Nebraska will face Minnesota tomorrow which has a nice over/under sitting at 60.5 while Nebraska is 10.5 point favorites. Martinez doesn’t air it out as much as you would like but he did go for 242 yards and 1 touchdown last week vs Purdue while also having 2 rushing touchdowns. Minnesota is a team that is awful vs the run as they give up 215.6 yards per game (worst on the slate), 6.8 YPA (also worst on the slate) and 2.8 rushing touchdowns per game. With Nebraska having a 35.50 implied team total (4th highest on the slate) that definitely makes Martinez a nice play.
Other quarterbacks:
Mac Jones ($10,800)
Malik Cunningham ($10,000)
Jordan Travis ($8,300)
Running backs:
Najee Harris ($11,000) @ Arkansas
Does Harris really need an introduction on why he should be your top running back option? Not really but I will provide some reasons why. In my opinion the best running back in college football. Alabama is 32.5 point favorites vs an Arkansas team who gives up 189.4 rushing yards per game, 4.5 YPA and 1.7 touchdowns a game. With Alabama being huge favorites and locked into the SEC championship game this should be over by half and possibly could see a heavy dose of running the ball to protect other studs in Jones and Smith.
Mataeo Durant ($7,500) @ Florida St
So the Duke backfield is a two man game with Durant and Jackson basically splitting carries. While in the last few games Durant has seen more touches and has found the end-zone more I would lean Durant here. The matchup with the Florida St defense is as good as it gets. They are giving up 193.5 rushing yards per game, 5.2 YPA and 2.8 touchdowns per game. They are also giving up 30.8 fantasy points per game to opposing running backs.
Jashaun Corbin ($6,800) vs Duke
Corbin is the value play this week at the running back position vs Duke. The starter to begin the season for Florida St opted out for some reason and Corbin saw his first start at running back last week as he rushed for 77 yards and 1 touchdown on 14 carries. Just as bad as the Florida St defense is the Duke run defense is just as bad. Giving up 202.1 yards per game, 4.8 YPA and 2.5 touchdowns a game.
Other running backs:
Javonte Williams ($9,700)
Dedrick Mills ($7,000)
Christian Beal-Smith ($6,800)
Wide Receivers:
Kyle Pitts ($9,300) vs LSU
In cash I am looking to stack Trask with Pitts just like Jones/Smith last week vs this LSU defense. Pitts is actually second to Toney on the team with a 16.3% target share. With Florida having such a great matchup and high implied team total look for Trask/Pitts to rack up some touchdowns in Trask’s final home game and possibly Pitts as well as he is seen as a first round pick.
Wan’dale Robinson ($7,100) vs Minnesota
If you’re playing Martinez I would pair him with Robinson who is only $7,100 on Fanduel. In his last two games he has had 18 receptions and 189 yards but no touchdowns. I think that changes this week facing a weaker defense in Minnesota. He leads the team with a 30.4% target share so obviously Martinez’s favorite receiver.
Other wide recievers:
DeVonta Smith ($11,500)
Mike Harley ($8,100)
Dez Fitzpatrick ($7,900)
Tre Turner ($6,500)
