Welcome back to another exciting season of CFB! After a solid week night 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:
Favorite QB on the Slate:
Rocco Becht, ISU:
Becht’s price on DraftKings feels like a mistake. While Becht isn’t lighting up the the scoreboard this season, he is still averaging 21.2 DK/game. He finally showed off his running ability in his last game against UCF prior to last weeks bye. This week he takes on the worst passing defense in CFB, Texas Tech. They have more games where the opposing quarterback had over 400 yards than games with under 300 yards. At Becht’s price you can easily fit in higher priced players.
Pivots | Value QBS |
Dillon Gabriel, ORE | Owen McCown, UTSA |
Bryson Daily, ARMY | Kurtis Rourke, IU |
Jaxson Dart, MISS | Maalik Murphy, DUKE |
Cam Ward, MIA | Seth Henigan, MEM |
Noah Fifita, ARIZ | X |
- Quick Note: Bryson Daily from Army should be ran naked. He is really only a threat on the ground against a weak Air Force defense. Army only averaged 8 passing attempts a game so he might only complete a handful of throws all game.
- If you are using any quarterback on DK from Ward to Gabriel in price, then you might need to run Becht to have salary for the skill players
The RBs:
Favorite RB on the Slate:
DJ Giddens, KSU:
I love Giddens on this slate, he has a favorable matchup against Houston who has struggled to contain the run game. They are giving up just under 140 rushing yards per game on 4.4 yards a carry. Giddens is averaging 118.1 yards a game on 6.52 yards per carry. If the Michael Myers of Boise St didn’t exist, then Giddens would be in the conversation for the best running back in CFB.
Pivots | Value RBs |
Damien Martinez, MIA | Kanye Udoh, ARMY |
Mario Anderson Jr, MEM | Justice Ellison, IU |
RJ Harvey, UCF | Trevor Etienne, UGA |
Tahj Brooks, TTU | X |
Darius Taylor, MINN | X |
The WRs:
