Do you like playing NFL on Draftkings? Do you like college football too? Well buckle up, because I am here to help guide you on who to play this weekend on Draftkings for college football.
College football on Draftkings is just like the NFL product, but on steroids. With the clock stopping for every first down, and teams consistently trying to play at as fast a pace as possible, the scoring in Draftkings college football is fast and furious (RIP Paul Walker).
Here is a little bit of a synopsis of guys to target on this Saturday.
QUARTERBACK
One of the first things to realize in CFB, is that dual threat quarterbacks are king. Every slate, there are guys who could potentially throw for 300 yards and run for 100 yards as well. Though it doesn’t happen often, these are the guys we want to get as much exposure too. Concentrate on playing players from games with high vegas over/unders. This week, West Virginia is playing Texas Tech, and the over under in that game is 73. It should be a DFS bonanza. Quarterbacks you can look at targeting this week include Will Grier from WVU, Alan Bowman from TT, Kyler Murray from Oklahoma, and McKenzie Milton from UCF. These guys are studs, and are very safe for your lineups.
RUNNING BACK
If you are paying up for some studs in your lineup, you are going to have to find some value in some places. One of the best value plays this weekend, is Rakeem Boyd, the running back from Arkansas. He is only $3400 and the starting running back has been ruled out. Although, Arkansas will most likely lose, the volume Boyd should see, should be enough to pay off his salary. Travis Etienne, the explosive running back from Clemson, also looks a little bit underpriced at $7400 in a revenge game against Syracuse, who upset Clemson last year.
WIDE RECEIVER
The theory should remain the same as NFL here. In your lineups, do your best to stack a pass catcher from the same team as your quarterback, so you can maximize your ceiling. If you are a wide receiver on WVU or TT, you are in play. Be careful, as Nathan Vasher one of the leading WR’s on TT is considered doubtful for the game. David Sills and Gary Jennings are two monster WR’s for WVU, but are expensive. If you are looking to save some cash, consider Landon Wolf on Oklahoma State for the bare minimum at $3000. One of the WR’s on OK St. has decided to transfer, allowing Wolf to move up the depth chart, and hopefully provide us with some value for cheap.
Hopefully this provides you with some solid groundwork on how to build a lineup for this weeks CFB slate. If you haven’t already, give it a shot. The pace and scoring is unlike any NFL contest you have entered!
