Daily Fantasy Sports College Football Week 1 DFS: Monday Night Showdown Ivan Herrera 3 weeks ago written by Ivan Herrera Welcome back to another exciting season of CFB! Week one action continues as we get a special edition of Monday Night Football College Edition. The Clemson Tigers are traveling to Duke to face the Blue Devils at Wallace Wade Stadium. The Tigers are coming into the game as 13-point favorites against a Duke team that I think will give them some problems.Clemson Captain PlaysCade Klubnik $17,700DK/$16,500FDKlubnik is coming into the 2023 season as the starter for Clemson after spending 2022 as the backup to current Oregon State Beaver DJ Uiagalelei. Also new to Clemson is their OC, Garrett Riley. Riley was brought in to implement the air raid offense that he had success with at TCU last season.As a backup, he didn’t get too much time on the field besides two games against UNC and Tennessee, where he completed 78% of his 2022 pass attempts. In those two games, he combined for 599 passing yards but failed to throw a touchdown pass. But he did manage to find the end zone twice while running the ball, as he finished with 81 rushing yards and two scores.His opponents on Monday night will be a good opening test for him. The Duke pass defense last season was ranked 105th against the pass, allowing 257.3 passing yards per game. Surprisingly, they’re ranked higher than both UNC and Tennessee. But like I mentioned, the Duke pass defense is going to test Klubnik, and we will get to see how he will be able to handle the pressure of being the guy at Clemson.Antonio Williams $12,600DK/$13,000FDWilliams is entering his sophomore season at Clemson, and the word around camp is that he matured both on and off the field during the offseason. He led the Tigers with 56 receptions and 604 receiving yards last season. He looked like a solid player last year, but Clemson had doubts about his maturity and leadership. Dabo Swinney said during training camp that he saw a change in Williams attitude, and it was confirmed by Williams saying that he needed to do better to help a WR room that underachieved last season.All the talk makes me very interested in Williams in this showdown. If he has improved both on and off the field, it will likely be seen against this Duke squad.Jake Briningstool $3,000DK/$8,000FDThis is a risky play, but the salary he opens on DraftKings is hard to ignore. Briningstool was behind Davis Allen last season at the TE spot. This year, with the departure of Allen, he is the starting TE for Clemson. Although he was a backup in 2022, he still managed to finish the year with 25 receptions, 285 yards, and four touchdowns. He will have an uptick in production as a starter, and he is a big security blanket for Cade KlubnikDuke Captain PlaysRiley Leonard $15,600DK/$14,000One of the best QBs in CFB and my dark horse for the Heisman. Last season, Leonard threw for 2967 yards and 20 touchdowns. They weren’t the greatest passing numbers, but Leonard is also a good runner. He ended 2022 with 699 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns. Leonard gets a favorable matchup against a Tigers team that gave up 334.4 yards per game last season. For Duke to have a chance against Clemson, Leonard is going to have to be successful with the second play. When the initial plays breakdown, he will need to be able to move out of the pocket and find a receiver or use his legs to get into favorable downs and distances.Jalon Calhoun $11,100DK/$10,000FDCalhoun is returning for the 2023 season and is entering the year as the top returning pass catcher for the Blue Devils. Last season with Leonard, Calhoun had 873 yards and four scores. Calhoun is a solid choice for the captain as he will be Leonard’s main target in the passing game, and if the game becomes a shootout, he is the Blue Devil with the best chance to have a showdown-breaking night.Favorite Util. PlaysAll the plays mentioned above can be used at Util. as wellWill Shipley $9,800DK/$15,500FDHe is also a solid play at captain. Shipley ran for 1182 yards and 15 touchdowns last season. On DraftKings, he never had a score in the single digits, as his lowest score was 11.1. Duke’s T26-ranked rush defense last season gave me some pause, so I didn’t add him to my CPT plays. But he is one of the better RBs, so a good performance is likely.Beaux Collins $7,800DK/$12,000FDCollins missed a lot of time last season, only appearing in eight games for the Tigers. He finished the year with 373 yards and five touchdowns. He is a good play and a pivot off of Williams if you need some salary relief. One of the biggest questions for him coming into Week 1 is his chemistry with Klubnik. Of the three starting WRs on the depth chart, he is the only one who didn’t appear in the UNC and Tennessee games.Jordan Moore $3,400DK/$11,500FDMoore finished 2022 only two receptions behind Calhoun. He ended the year tied with Sahmir Hagans for the Duke lead in receiving touchdowns with five. Moore is a great pivot off of Calhoun since he should see similar targets and has a better nose for the endzone.Nicky Dalmolin $1,600DK/$7,000FDSimilarly to Clemson’s TE, Dalmolin is a bit of a risky play. He finished 2022 with 21 receptions for 170 yards, but he did manage to score four touchdowns. When Duke gets inside the ten, I can see it becoming Dalmolin time, as he scored two of his four touchdowns from the 2-yard line. The other two were from 20-plus yard plays.Other Util. Plays to consider:Sahmir Hagans $2,400DK/$8,500FD: Tied for most receiving touchdowns last seasonAdam Randall $6,660DK/$10,500FD: Listed as the third WR for ClemsonCole Turner $5,600DK/$8,000FD: Could see time as the WR4 at ClemsonDrago’s Best Bets:Duke +13Both teams to score 20+ pointsMake sure to check out the CFB live stream every Friday night on the Win Daily YouTube page.Make sure to hop in our Expert Discord Chat for FREE!

NCAA FootballPremium 1/9 College Football DraftKings and FanDuel Showdown DFS Ivan Herrera 9 months ago written by Ivan Herrera For the final time this season, we are heading back to college to enjoy the CFP National Championship Game.The National Champion Game sees two of the best teams in the nation square off in Los Angeles's SoFi Stadium. On one side it's a 13-1 TCU squad that is coming off a huge win against undefeated Michigan in the CFP semifinal game. On the other side is defending National Champions, Georgia, who survived a great matchup against Ohio State. This should be a great matchup with two great teams and will serve as a nice start to what should be a great month of football with the NFL playoffs starting later in the week.

We have hit my favorite part of the CFB season, the bowl games. With teams fighting for conference bragging rights, we should see some great matchups. The highlight of the Monday slate is the great Rose Bowl matchup between Penn State and Utah.Monday 1/2 CFB1/2 CFB Top PlaysBefore I get into this slate I just want to say R.I.P Mike Leach. He was the Mississippi State HC this season who unfortunately passed away on December 12. He was one of my favorite HCs to follow.#22 Mississippi State vs Illinois (ReliaQuest Bowl)This matchup should provide some decent DFS value even with a few key players on both sides deciding to opt-out. The advantage in the passing game is clearly on the MissSt side, as their starter Rogers finished top 10 in passing yards and touchdowns. His matchup against the 5th ranked Illinois passing defense will test him, but i... 9 months ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail

We have hit my favorite part of the CFB season, the bowl games. With teams fighting for conference bragging rights, we should see some great matchups. The highlight of Semifinal Saturday is the two Semifinal games; Michigan vs TCU and Georgia vs Ohio State. Saturday 12/31 CFB12/31 CFB Top PlaysIowa vs Kentucky (TransPerfect Music City Bowl)Fade this game. Both teams have a top 10 pass defense and both have a rushing offense ranked bottom 25. I'll sleep fine if I fade the game and both teams put up crazy numbers because nothing points to that. But I will say if you are running a lot of lineups and you need to have a player from this game, Barion Brown and Dane Key are the only two I would even consider. #5 Alabama vs #9 Kansas State (Allstate Sugar Bowl)This matchup has all the makings of a game great game. The advantage through the air belongs to Alabama which is led by 2021 Heis... 9 months ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail

We have hit my favorite part of the CFB season, the bowl games. With teams fighting for conference bragging rights, we should see some great matchups.

Haener is priced at the top for good reason as Fresno State plays the 2nd worse ranked pass defense on the slate. Haener does come into the game on a bad run, but the Washington State defense should be a fix for his struggles. Against the two PAC12 opponents Haener went up against this season he averaged 238.5 passing yards and threw a touchdown in each ... 9 months ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail

Saturday 11/26 CFB11/26 CFB Top PlaysQuarterbacksAustin Reed (WKU) $7,700DK (DK Only Game) - DraftKings is in the Black Friday Special spirit because we are getting one of the better QBs at a good discount. Reed has scored over 30 points on DK in more than half of his games played. Reed this week takes on an FAU squad that gives up two touchdowns through the air a game, which is something I think he'll take advantage of since he is averaging three a game. With some bigger named QBs on the slate and his performance against Auburn last week, I th... 10 months ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail

With the college season almost at its end, I want to say thank you to everyone who has followed me in this CFB journey. This Friday we get a couple of great matchups. The slate's highlight is in Cincinnati where Tulane and the host Cincinnati have what is basically an AAC semifinal since the winner of the game will host the AAC title game, while the loser is all but eliminated from AAC title contention. Friday 11/25 CFB11/25 CFB Top PlaysQuarterbacksDorian Thompson Robinson (UCLA) $9,400DK/$11,800FD - DTR is currently listed as Probable, but if he's ready to go he's my number one QB on this slate. Last week DTR proved why he's been one of the most consistent QBs in DFS putting up 47.5 against USC. A matchup against the 127th-ranked pass defense is the perfect final regular season game for the 5th-year QB.Jayden de Laura (Arizona) $7... 10 months ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail

We have hit the point in the year where just about every game is a conference matchup. With teams from the same conference meeting, we get the pleasure of watching great teams going at it. This week we get a couple of great matchups. The slate's highlight is in Los Angeles, where UCLA hosts their crosstown rivals, USC. Saturday 11/19 CFB11/19 CFB Top PlaysQuarterbacksDraftKings QuarterbacksHolton Ahlers - ECU - $6,200 - Ahlers had a slight price increase after last week's 20.6 performance against Cincinnati. Even with the price increase, I like Ahlers's matchup against Houston. Houston has struggled to contain QBs all season and that should continue this week. Ahlers has only failed to score 20 points twice this season. Ahlers's season average aligns pretty well with Houston's terrible pass defense, Ahler's comes in averaging 291.9 yards and 2 touchdowns a gam... 10 months ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail

Mordecai leads the 5th-ranked passing offense against a terrible USF defense. Over the past three weeks, Mordecai has scored over 40 points in two of the three games. The best QB that USF has faced this season was probably Tulane's Michael Pratt who scored 36.7 points. While I am a big fan of Pratt... 11 months ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail
