Ivan Herrera 
Welcome back to another exciting season of CFB! After a solid week five 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:
Garrett Greene (WVU):
Once again, we get to attack Oklahoma State’s terrible pass defense on a slate. All year, the Cowboys’s pass defense has struggled to stop opposing quarterbacks. They are giving up the third most yards of the slate (256.5) and are going up against a good quarterback this week. Greene is averaging 225.5 yards through the air this season and 1.8 passing touchdowns. Greene has thrown for over 200 yards each of his last three games and is in a great spot to make it 4 out of his last 4. But Greene isn’t only a threat with his arm; he can hurt defenses with his legs as well. In the first four games of the season, Greene is averaging 52.5 yards on the ground and has scored twice. Over the last two weeks, Oklahoma State has given up 101 yards on the ground to quarterbacks, and every starting quarterback has had a rush of 10 plus against them.
Who to pair him with: Hudson Clement. Traylon Ray. Kole Taylor.
Hank Bachmeier (WAKE):
Bachmeier is my favorite value quarterback on the slate. He is having his best season since 2021, when he was still the Boise State starting quarterback. Bachmeier is averaging 289.8 passing yards a game, which is a career high for a season. Surprisingly, Bachmeier has been efficient while throwing this season; his only interception came last week on a tip pass. This week he gets a NC State side that I have loved to target all season. NCST ranks 92nd against the pass, allowing 229.2 yards per game. They have also allowed the third-most passing touchdowns on the slate. With his price and the matchup, I will have a lot of Bachmeier.
Who to pair him with: Taylor Morin. Donavon Greene. Horatio Fields. Deuce Alexander
Honorable Mentions: Brady Cook. Anthony Colandrea. Tyler Shough. Eli Holstein. Jacolby Criswell. Drew Allar. Carson Beck. Jaxson Dart. Will Howard. Alan Bowman. Jalen Milroe
Value QBs: Hank Bachmeier
The RBs:
Tawee Walker (WISC):
After starter Chez Mellusi left Wisconsin to deal with his injuries, Walker has become the starter for Wisconsin. Walker is second in carries (38) and tied with Mellusi for the team lead with three rushing touchdowns. For his start, he takes on Purdue, who have the third worst rush defense in CFB. The Boilermakers are giving up 242 yards per game and nearly five yards per carry. Wisconsin likes to rest their running backs, so we will see Cade Yacamelli come in at times, but at Walker’s price, he should be able to have a big game with the amount he’ll see against Purdue.
Omarion Hampton (UNC):
The second highest priced running back on DK for good reason, Hampton is definitely in play. UNC’s game against Pitt on Saturday has all the makings of a shootout. UNC suffered a loss to their rivals Duke last week in a close 1pt game. Hampton was held to 103 yards on 29 carries and failed to reach the end zone. I’m expecting UNC to feed Hampton early and often as a way to keep Pitts Eli Holstein and their explosive offense off the field.
Honorable Mentions: Desmond Reid. Nate Noel. Nicholas Singleton. Kaleb Johnson. Bhayshul Tuten. Henry Parrish Jr. CJ Donaldson. Le’Veon Moss. Brashard Smith. Quinshon Judkins.
Value RBs (5K and under): Marcus Carroll.
