CFB Main Slate Breakdown for Week Seven

Welcome back to another exciting season of CFB! After a solid week six slate, we are back with another action packed Saturday.

The purpose of this article is to break down the college football main slates, both on the DFS and betting sites. The article includes my favorite plays at every position as well as honorable mentions. You can also find my favorite bets under my Dragos Best Bets section.

The QBs:

Brendan Sorsby (CINCY):

Outside of his Week 3 matchup against Miami (OH), Sorsby has been one of the better CFB quarterbacks in the country. In his four games besides Week 3, he is averaging 31.08 fantasy points on DK. The transfer from Indiana to Cincinnati seems to have made Sorsby a better quarterback, as he has almost matched his career numbers at Indiana in only five games at Cincy. Sorsby and the Bearcats play UCF on Saturday. UCF has been one of the worst pass defenses in CFB. They are allowing 247 passing yards (102nd in CFB) and have allowed 10 passing touchdowns, which is tied for second most on the slate. Cincy is going to need Sorsby in this game, as the total is tied for the third most on slate, which means it’ll be a back and forth affair.

Who to pair him with: Xzavier Henderson. Joe Royer. Tony Johnson.

Tyler Shough (UL):

This second quarterback was very close to being Cade Klubnik, who is also in a good spot this weekend. But instead I am going with the lower-priced guy who is in an equally good matchup. Shough takes on UVA this weekend, who rank 118th in passing yards allowed. Shough has been consistently solid in fantasy, scoring at least 20.6 in every game so far. Shough has been one of the most efficient quarterbacks in CFB, ranking 12th with a passer efficiency of 169.81. With his performances and his opponent, Shough should have the best chance of the sub-8K quarterbacks to finish near the top of the slate.

Who to pair him with: Ja’Corey Brooks. Jamari Johnson. Caullin Lacy.

Honorable Mentions: Cade Klubnik. Riley Leonard. Anthony Colandrea. Eli Holstein. Jacolby Criswell. Drew Allar. Miller Moss. Haynes King. Will Rogers. Quinn Ewers.

Value QBs: Hank Bachmeier. Noah Fifita.

The RBs:

Phil Mafah (CLEM):

Since I am not prioritizing Klubnik, I will do the next best thing and prioritize using Mafah. Mafah has been a solid replacement for Shipley, who was lost to the draft. He is 30th in CFB in rushing yards this season with 496 and seventh in yards per carry, averaging 7.29 per carry. This weekend he takes on a Wake Forest team that is giving up 4.78 yards per carry, which is the fifth most on the slate. Mafah should be a great pivot off of using Klubnik, who is one of the highest priced quarterbacks on the slate.

Nicholas Singleton (PSU):

Singleton was kept out of last week’s game due to illness, but all signs point to him being available this weekend. He couldn’t have asked for a better matchup to return for, as he is taking on USC’s terrible run defense. The Trojans’s run defense hasn’t looked great at all this season and is the main reason they have two losses already this season. If USC had an average run defense, they would still be undefeated. Singleton is averaging 102 yards in his four games played and is taking on a USC side that is allowing 197.3 in their first three games in the Big 10. If Singleton is ruled out, then it is an easy switch to Allen.

Honorable Mentions: Kyle Monangai. RJ Harvey. Desmond Reid. Jaydon Blue. Jeremiyah Love. Tawee Walker.

Value RBs (5K and under):  Raheim Sanders.

The WRs:

Drago’s Best Bets:

• Clemson vs Wake Forest Over 61.5 (-112)
• Texas -14.5 (-112) vs Oklahoma
• Pitt -3.5 (-102) vs California
• Cincinnati ML (+130) vs UCF
• Alabama vs South Carolina Over 50.5 (-110)
