In this article, I will be breaking down the CFB Fanduel Plays 12/5/20. 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 12/5/20.
Quarterback:
Zach Wilson ($11,000) @ Coastal Carolina
There are a lot of great quarterback options on the slate. But, I want to first focus on Wilson for BYU. Nobody really knows of Wilson since he plays out west at BYU, but he has put together a Heisman-like season thus far, throwing for 2,724 yards, 26 touchdowns, and just 2 interceptions. BYU will face undefeated Coastal Carolina tomorrow after a scheduled off week. Coastal Carolina was supposed to play Liberty but with positive COVID-19 cases, that game was canceled. The game between BYU/Coastal Carolina has a 6.5 O/U which is 5th highest on the slate and BYU is favored by -10.5. Wilson is averaging 30.7 FPTS/G so he could be a lower owned pivot off of Justin Fields and others.
Trevor Lawrence ($10,500) @ Virginia Tech
Lawrence saw his first game action in a few weeks last week vs Pittsburgh, after testing positive for COVID-19 after the Syracuse game on 10/24. He didn’t miss a beat throwing for 403 yards and 2 touchdowns before the game got out of hand after the first quarter. The game between Clemson/Virginia Tech has the highest O/U on the slate sitting at 67.5. Clemson also has the 2nd highest implied team total on the slate at 45. I don’t believe Lawrence will have much ownership so if you’re going contrarian he could be a great play.
Mac Jones ($10,200) @ LSU
Possibly my favorite quarterback play on the slate is Heisman candidate Mac Jones. This season he has thrown for 2,728 yards, 23 touchdowns, and just 3 interceptions. Now he and the Alabama offense who have the highest implied team total on the slate at 48 get to face a very bad LSU team. The LSU defense is allowing 302.9 passing yards per game (highest on the slate) and 9.3 passing yards per attempt (also highest on the slate). With Alabama being -29.5 favorites obviously, Jones could sit the second half but he should be able to get his in possibly just one half.
Other quarterbacks:
Justin Fields ($11,200)
Jake Plummer ($8,700) – value play
Rocky Lombardi ($6,300) – real cheap value play
Running Back:
Najee Harris ($10,600) @ LSU
Harris is the top running back in the county in my opinion and the same applies to Fanduel. Every week I have Harris as the top running back play no matter price. LSU’s run defense in terms of stats isn’t that bad. They allow 140.5 rushing yards per game and 4.3 yards per rush attempt. With the Alabama team total at 48, there should be plenty of touchdowns to go around for the whole Alabama offense.
Rhamondre Stevenson ($9,200) vs Baylor
Stevenson is a great option below the top-priced running backs. Since coming back from his suspension three weeks ago he hasn’t gone under 21 fantasy points. Oklahoma has a team implied total of 41 and they are -21.5 point favorites vs Baylor. The matchup with Baylor’s rush defense is a solid one. As they allow 183.9 rush yards per game, 4.5 yards per rush attempt, and 2.3 touchdowns per game.
Dezmon Jackson ($4,900) @ TCU
Jackson is only $4,900 on Fanduel after exploding for 36 carries, 235 rushing yards and 3 touchdowns. He got the start last week with Chuba Hubbard and LD Brown out. Mike Gundy announced during the week that Jackson most likely will be the starter but we have to get some more news tomorrow morning if Hubbard and Brown will actually sit. If both are out just plug in Jackson and move onto the rest of your lineup. You should be able to get basically anybody you want on the slate.
Other running backs:
Travis Etienne ($10,100)
Jalen Berger ($5,400) – value play
Damien Moore ($5,300) – value play
Wide Receivers:
DeVonta Smith ($10,900) @ LSU
Smith is arguably the best receiver in college football and gets a stellar matchup with LSU’s lackluster defense. You can easily pair him with Jones and watch the touchdowns rack up. Smith has a massive 38.2% target share which leads the team by a wide margin. He also averages 135.6 yards per game. And an insane 27.8 FPTS/G which is more than some quarterbacks.
Rondale Moore ($8,500) vs Nebraska
Moore’s price took a pretty big dip going from $9,800 now to $8,500. The game between Nebraska and Purdue has a 62.5 O/U which is tied for third-highest on the slate and this line is super tied with Purdue being -1.5 point favorites. This game could be pretty high scoring and possibly stacking him with Plummer in GPP lineups only could be a good way to get some lower owned production.
Other Recievers:
Kyle Pitts ($9,400)
Garret Wilson ($9,700)
Cornell Powell ($8,300)
Wan’Dale Robinson ($6,600)
