It is time to go back to college and enjoy a great day of College Football.
Welcome to Week 5 of the College Football season! The fifth game for the majority of these schools sees a slate with no heavy favorites, the most prominent spread being 2nd ranked Alabama giving Arkansas 17.5 points. The DraftKings main slate will see games starting no later than 4 p.m. Eastern, while over on FanDuel they have their slate more spread out with games starting as late as 7:30 p.m. Eastern time.
#7 Kentucky at #14 Ole Miss (-7)
Texas Tech at #25 Kansas State (-7.5)
#18 Oklahoma (-6) at TCU
#4 Michigan (-10.5) at Iowa
Purdue at #21 Minnesota (-12)
Illinois at Wisconsin (-7)
Navy at Air Force (-14)
#2 Alabama (-17.5) at #20 Arkansas
#9 Oklahoma St at #16 Baylor (-2.5)
Iowa St (-3) at Kansas
#22 Wake Forest at #23 Florida St (-6.5)
Michigan St at Maryland (-7.5)
#17 Texas A&M at Mississippi St (-3.5)
LSU (-8) at Auburn
West Virginia at Texas (-9.5)
Indiana at Nebraska (-4.5)
#10 North Carolina State at #5 Clemson (-6.5)
Hunter Dekkers – Iowa St – $5,800 – This feels like a misprice on Dekkers considering Kansas has given up an average of 26.71 DraftKings points to opposing Division 1A QBs. This is the perfect bounce-back spot for Dekkers after struggling against a Baylor pass rush that was in his face all game last week. With a high game total of 57.5, Dekkers will have plenty of opportunities to score in what should be a high-paced matchup against Kansas.
Spencer Sanders – Oklahoma St – $6,500 – Sanders has had a great start to his year putting up 13 total touchdowns with only 1 turnover. Sanders’ 35.9 DraftKings points average leads all QBs on the slate, and I expect Sanders to match his average against a Baylor team that allows 225 passing yards a game. Feels like DraftKings gave us a bit of a gift with Sanders’ price being the 19th highest on the slate, he is listed tomorrow in the same range as backups.
Devin Leary – North Carolina State – $7,600 – Last week I wrote up Sam Hartman against this same Clemson squad, and this week I’m going right back to attacking them in a Top 10 matchup. While I don’t think Leary will match Hartman’s 38.48 FanDuel points last week, I do believe he will have some success against the Clemson pass defense that gave up 337 yards and 6 touchdowns last week. Leary himself is coming off of a 320 passing and 4 touchdown game last week against Connecticut.
Will Rogers – Mississippi St- $10,000 – Rogers comes into this game as the 6th highest priced QB on the slate, but that is for good reason. Besides a bad game at LSU where he going scored 9.36 on FanDuel, Rogers has averaged 33.02 in the 3 other games. Rogers currently leads the nation in completions and passing touchdowns, as well as being top 3 in attempts and yards. This weekend Rogers takes on a Texas A&M squad that is coming off of giving up 29.34 FanDuel points to Arkansas’ KJ Jefferson, while Rogers isn’t the same running QB as Jefferson he should still be able to pick apart the pass defense.
DraftKings – Tanner Morgan – Minnesota- $6,300 “low-end”, Sam Hartman – Wake Forest – $8,400 “mid-range”, Bryce Young- Alabama – $9,900 “high-end”
FanDuel – D.J Uiagalelei – Clemson – $8,100 “low-end”, Jayden Daniels – LSU – $9,500 “mid-range”, Dillon Gabriel – Oklahoma – $10,700 “high-end”
Brad Roberts – Air Force – $7,000 – Roberts has been a popular player the last few weeks playing on the smaller mid-week slates, but his ownership should see a huge dip now that he is on a 13-game slate this weekend. The field may stay away from Roberts this week after seeing that Navy has allowed an average of 69 rushing yards a game, but the number is a bit skewed a bit from their opening game against a Delaware team that has struggled running the ball all year. I expect Roberts to continue his early season success and improve on his 116 rushing yards and 1.8 touchdown average a game.
Deuce Vaughn – Kansas St – $7,200 – Vaughn has come out of the gates firing this season, through Kansas State’s first 4 games, Vaughn has racked up 468 rushing yards to go with 3 touchdowns. This is another spot where I think game log watchers will get away from after seeing that Vaughn has failed to reach the endzone in KSU’s last 2 games but in those games, Vaughn has still had 55 touches for a total of 240 yards with an 18.5 DraftKings point average. The matchup this week against Texas Tech will give him a chance to find the endzone once again.
CJ Donaldson – West Virginia – $6,800 – Donaldson is a very interesting player, he emerged as WVU’s top RB despite being a Freshman listed as a Tight End. The former high school WR has taken over the starting RB spot from Mathis Jr, so far into his 3-game college career the Freshman has 2 100-yard rushing games as well as 3 rushing touchdowns. At $6,800 he feels like a bit of a steal considering that WVU has recently turned to a run-first offense so he should continue to see the bulk of the carries for the team.
Eric Gray – Oklahoma – $8,600 – Another week, another chance to play Gray. Gray has started this season with 3 100+ rushing games in his first 4 starts including back-to-back 110+ games the last 2 weeks. Gray has had a good fantasy year despite only finding the endzone in 1 game this season. Last game we saw something that will raise Gray’s stock and that is his pass-catching abilities. Last week against Kansas St, Gray had 7 catches for 45 yards which doubled his passing-catching yards coming into the game. Oklahoma has relied on the arm of Gabriel so far this year, but if Gray can continue to see targets then the pass-heavy offense won’t hinder his production.
DraftKings – Jirehl Brock – Iowa St – $5,400 “low-end”, Eric Gray – Oklahoma – $7,600 “mid-range”, Mohamed Ibrahim – Minnesota – $9,500 “high-end”
FanDuel – Demie Sumo-Karngbaye – North Carolina State– $6,400 “low-end”, Will Shipley – Clemson- $8,800 “mid-range”, Mohamed Ibrahim – Minnesota – $10,600 “high-end”
Xavier Hutchinson – Iowa St – $7,800 – Hutchinson is my favorite play on the whole slate. Hutchinson picked up where he left off last season, through ISU’s first 4 games Hutchinson has averaged 27.3 DraftKings points. His connection with ISU’s new starting QB, Hunter Dekkers, has been very fruitful with Hutchinson having at least 8 receptions each game as well as a touchdown in 3 out of the first 4 games. The matchup this week against Kansas will give Hutchinson a lot of opportunities to showcase his skills.
Traeshon Holden – Alabama – $5,900 – Alabama the last few seasons have been a Wide Receiver factory with WRs like DeVonta Smith and Jaylen Waddle who are currently playing big roles on their NFL teams. They currently have 3 WRs who might join the growing list; Jarmaine Burton, Kobe Prentice, and Holden. While Burton and Prentice are both in play against Arkansas this week, I’m focusing on the only one of the three who has had at least 3 catches in each of Alabama’s games. Holden leads Alabama’s WR group in catches, yards, and touchdowns. Having the lowest price of the 3 WRs makes me like him more than the other two because it allows a $900 increase in another position compared to Burton’s price.
Braydon Johnson – Oklahoma St – $4,300 “low-end”, Charlie Jones – Purdue – $6,400 “mid-range”, Marvin Mims – Oklahoma – $8,500 “high-end”
Kayshon Boutte – LSU – $6,000- Boutte at $6000 feels wrong. Boutte is a top 3 WR in the majority of 2023 NFL Draft boards. This season Boutte hasn’t been playing like his position on draft boards would suggest, but coming into this game he may have some extra motivation to show who he is. The biggest motivation coming into this game is the childbirth narrative. Boutte missed last week’s game to be with his girlfriend who was giving birth to their son, he’ll be excited to get back on the field with his teammates and show his newborn what he can do. The other motivation Boutte will have is quieting his former teammate, Koy Moore, who transferred to Auburn this season. Moore said in an interview this week that the best WR in the locker room was himself not Boutte.
Beaux Collins – Clemson – $7,100 – This week I am going back to the St John Bosco High School connection, Collins and Uiagalelei. Last week Collins left the game in the 1st quarter and didn’t return until after half, but despite that, he still had 4 catches for 60 yards and scored a touchdown in overtime. That performance against Wake Forest ended up being his highest-scoring game so far on FanDuel. I expect Uiagalelei to target him often especially going up against an NC State squad that has been great defensively this season.
Mike Brown-Stephens – Minnesota – $6,000 “low-end”, Jarmaine Burton – Alabama – $6,700 “mid-range”, Cam Camper – Indiana – $8,500 “high-end”

Alabama at Arkansas

It is time to go back to college and enjoy a great day of College Football.
Welcome to Week 3 of the College Football season! The third game for most of these teams sees some close matchups with just a handful of heavy favorites in places like South Carolina and Florida. The DraftKings main slate will see games starting no later than 1 p.m. Eastern, while over on FanDuel they have their slate more spread out with games starting as late as 7:30 p.m. Eastern time.
#1 Georgia (-25) at South Carolina
#6 Oklahoma (-11) at Nebraska
Purdue at Syracuse (-1.5)
Western Kentucky at Indiana (-6.5)
Cincinnati (-22) at Miami (OH)
South Alabama at UCLA (-15.5)
California at Norte Dame (-11)
#22 Penn State (-3) at Auburn
#20 Ole Miss (-17) at Georgia Tech
Vanderbilt at Northern Illinois (-2.5)
#12 BYU at #25 Oregon (-3.5)
Colorado at Minnesota (-28)
Kansas at Houston (-8.5)
Mississippi State (-2.5) at LSU
Texas Tech at #16 North Carolina State (-10)
Toledo at #3 Ohio State (-32)
#11 Michigan State at Washington (-3)
SMU at Maryland (-2.5)
South Florida at #18 Florida (-24.5)
Jalon Daniels – Kansas – $6,700– Daniels has started his junior season at Kansas with a bang. The dual-threat QB has thrown for 408 yards and ran for 114 to go along with 5 total touchdowns in his first two games of the season. Daniels will have an interesting matchup on paper when he leads Kansas into Houston. Houston currently sits as the 5th worst pass defense in CFB, allowing just under 700 yards passing in the team’s first two games. Both of the QBs that Houston has seen have similar skill sets to Daniels, so I expect Daniels to improve on his 24.4DK average.
Clayton Tune – Houston – $8,200. Like his Kansas counterpart, Tune has a strong matchup this week taking on the 54th worst pass defense. While allowing just under 500 passing yards through two games may not seem as bad as Houston’s defense, Kansas gave up 365 of those last week against West Virginia after playing a weak Tennesse Tech squad that went for under 100 passing yards. Tune has the weapons to match and even surpass what West Virginia did to Kansas. With 2 good Quarterbacks going against struggling pass defenses plus an over/under of 58 for this game, this game is one that should be considered for a game stack.
Austin Reed – Western Kentucky – $7,800 – The Western Kentucky QB has big shoes to fill taking over for current New England Patriot, Bailey Zappe. Luckily for Reed, he has had an easy start to his season going against Austin Peay and Hawaii in his first two games. Reed and WKU will take a step up in competition when they take on Indiana, but I expect Reed to continue the form he is in. Reed has scored 8 total touchdowns and has thrown for 547 yards so far. Despite their 2-0 record Indiana hasn’t looked great, they started off slow against Idaho last week and had to rely on a strong 3rd quarter to turn the game around. Reed should pick this team apart if they have a similar start on Saturday.
Dillon Gabriel – Oklahoma – $10,500 – While Gabriel is also playable on DraftKings, he is a better fit on FanDuel because he comes in as the 7th highest priced QB on the slate compared to DraftKings where he is the top QB. Up to this point in the season Gabriel hasn’t had the chance to fully shine since Oklahoma hasn’t faced a squad close to their level. That changes this week in what should be a high-scoring game against their historic rival Nebraska. The Cornhusker offense should be enough to keep Nebraska in the game, which will allow Gabriel to finally show off what he can do and improve on his 529 passing yards and 5 TDs.
Devin Leary – North Carolina State – $8,700 – Leary leads his 16th-ranked Wolfpack to a home game against a good Texas Tech squad. Although Leary had a slow start to his season against East Carolina, he showed what he could do in the 1st half of NC State’s big win against Charleston Southern throwing for 238 and 4TDs. Leary should continue to improve on Saturday against a Texas Tech squad that gave up 266 passing yards to Clayton Tune last week.
DraftKings – Garrett Shrader – Syracuse – $6,400 “low-end”, Aidan O’Connell – Purdue – $7,500 “mid-range”, Dorian Thomson-Robinson- UCLA – $8,300 “high-end”
FanDuel – Jack Plummer – California – $6,200 “low-end”, Connor Bazelak – Indiana – $8,400 “mid-range”, Taulia Tagovailoa – Maryland – $10,600 “high-end”
Mohamed Ibrahim – Minnesota – $9,400 – What better way to start talking about Running Backs on DraftKings than with the highest-priced guy. So far this season Ibrahim has rushed for 131 yards and 2TDs a game, those numbers should see a large increase after Saturday when Colorado and their worse-ranked rush defense come to town. Colorado has allowed 710 rushing yards and 9 rushing touchdowns after two games against opponents with RBs not quite at Ibrahim’s level. Ibrahim can hit value within the 1st half.
Zach Charbonnet – UCLA – $6,300 – Charbonnet comes into this game with a discounted price after missing last week’s game for an undisclosed reason. All reports say he is slated to start Saturday which makes him a great play at his price against a weaker opponent in South Alabama. In the opening game of the season, Charbonnet ran for 111 yards while also making 5 receptions for 36 yards.
TreVeyon Henderson – Ohio State – $8,800 – The Heisman Trophy candidate had a nice bounce back last week against Arkansas State, putting up 20.7FD. Toledo comes in as a middle-of-the-road rush defense giving up 125 rushing yards a game. Henderson should have the opportunity to build on his previous game thanks to Ohio State being heavy favorites, so the need to have CJ Stroud throw a lot isn’t there this week.
Eric Gray – Oklahoma – $6,800 – Gray comes into this game at a bit of a discount. Oklahoma’s starting running back should be in for a good day in what looks like a possible shootout against Nebraska. He also might come in low-owned given the fact that he has yet to find the endzone, but as mentioned earlier this is looking like a shootout so I fully expect him to get in the endzone Saturday.
DraftKings – Devin Neal – Kansas – $5,400 “low-end”, Shaun Shivers – Indiana – $6,100 “mid-range”, Sean Tucker – Syracuse- $8,900 “high-end”.
FanDuel – Tank Bigsby – Auburn – $6,700 “low-end”, Christopher Brooks – BYU- $7,400 “mid-range”, Jalen Berger – Michigan State – $9,200 “high-end”
Charlie Jones – Purdue – $8,000 – The transfer from Iowa has become Aidan O’Connell’s favorite target now that David Bell is in the NFL. Jones has seen double-digit targets in both games so far while finishing with 12 and 9 catches in those games. We should expect nothing less this week in a game that looks to be a shootout with an over/under of 60.
Jalen Wayne – South Alabama – $5,500 – At 5500 Wayne feels like a great value play considering S. Alabama is a 2 touchdown underdog so they should be throwing the ball a lot if they get behind. Wayne has had 98 receiving yards each of his first two games while also racking up 3 receiving touchdowns. His teammate Caullin Lacy $4,100 is also in consideration in this game especially if looking to save $1,400. Lacy doesn’t have a touchdown so far this season but does have 11 receptions for 169 yards.
Trey Palmer – Nebraska – $4,200 “low-end”, Nathaniel Dell – Houston – $7,900 “mid-range”, Marvin Mims – Oklahoma – $8,900 “high-end”
Rakim Jarrett – Maryland – $6,900- The Maryland vs SMU game is one of my favorite games on the slate, and Jarrett is a big reason why. He has had a slow start largely thanks to the easy schedule Maryland has had, but what better way to pick up production than with a game with an over/under of 73 points. While last year’s number 1 receiver, Dontay Demus Jr, is back Jarrett has still looked like Tagovailoa’s favorite target. Demus $5,400 can also be used in this spot for the discount.
Jalen McMillian – Washington – $8,500 – Washington’s number 1 WR has looked impressive this season. McMillian has racked up 214 receiving yards on 9 catches with 3 of those ending up in the EndZone. McMillian has quickly established a connection with transfer Michael Penix Jr, and while Michigan State will be their strongest opponent the Penix/McMillian connection looks solid enough to succeed.
Cam Camper – Indiana – $6,400 “low-end”, Michael Mayer – Norte Dame – $7,700 “mid-range”, Rashee Rice – SMU – $9,800 “high-end”
