COLORADO at TEXAS TECH
My favorite game today is Colorado and Texas Tech. Yeah, very original I know. But you have an offense on the Tech side that while it gets poor QB play does have two of the best options to look at on the slate in Tahj Brooks (RB) and Josh Kelly (WR). This opens it up to consider using one or two QB in this game as well, so Sanders and Morton are great correlation game stack options together.
- COL: Shedeur Sanders, LaJohntay Wester — OR Travis Hunter Naked
- TT: Behren Morton, Tahj Brooks, Josh Kelly
CLEMSON at VIRGINIA TECH
The wheels on the bus go falling off, falling off, and such is the Clemson Defense giving up 31 to Virginia & then having no answer for an athletic Louisville team last week. Time to just turn this over to your offense on the road in blacksburg and hope for some magic — which is gonna be needed because I cannot see Clemson slowing down Drones-Tuten-Lane
- CLEM: Cade Klubnik, Phil Mafah, Antonio Williams
- VT: Kyron Drones, Bhayshul Tuten, Jaylin Lane
About as deep of a Quarterback slate as we have seen all year but I lead with the QB correlation on my top game.
- Shedeur Sanders – Colorado – $8900 … Very much feels like a statement time game for Sanders, who has been just fine this season but the spotlight hasn’t fully come back around on him like he wants. I expect a huge performance today.
- Behren Morton – Texas Tech – $6000 … Morton has thrown 2+ TD in each of his home games this season. The tempo will be solid in thi game for him to have that floor as well.
ALSO CONSIDERING
- Thomas Castellanos – Boston College – $6600 … Nobody likes a chalky Castellanos but if you can’t stomach Morton or want to use Brooks only there, then this is an easy price point pivot.
- Bryson Daily – ARMY – $9500 … Army is back on the main slate and so too is Daily who was a late scratch last week and scrambled some lineups up pretty good. No reason to not think he won’t do what we expected last week. North Texas rush defense is 105th in the Nation and giving up 4.7 YPC.
- Will Howard – Ohio State – $8100 … If ever a Quarterback can win a slate simply off his WR yards after the catch then it’s gonna be Will Howard today. Love his top two WR both to eat against Purdue, so naturally we gotta like him. Problem is, Purdue gives up all their touchdowns on the ground & so if the WR don’t take it to the house then he’s gonna have a lot of empty yards.
- Devin Neal – Kansas – $6700 … We should probably be on the Iowa State/Kansas game more than I have hyped it up thus far — but I’ve limited my exposure with two options here and the first is just about as automatic of a system play as they come. A mid priced RB who gets 15+ carries consistently, at home, narrow spread, decent total. And it’s a guy I actually like too. Next question.
- Quintrevion Wisner – Texas – $5000 … Someone walk him down to the field before the game and point to the end zone. That is your home, go to your home. We just need that one TD to go with the easy floor he should have.
- Tahj Brooks – Texas Tech – $8400 … Mr Do everything for Tech needs a rushing and a receiving TD here to justify the salary. He can easily do that and can easily be part of a 3 man stack.
- Bhayshul Tuten – VT – $8300 … Price and my love for Jaylin Lane are the detractors here.
- Phil Mafah – Clemson – $6500
While QB is deep, Wide Receiver is the slate winner today. The gems that are in the mid priced range on this slate are endless it feels like, so sorry Mr. Travis Hunter ($9500) and Tre Harris ($9300) but not today on either of you. Hunter is the one I can get behind because of the flow on that game and he would likely have to be a naked play to fit in other pieces instead of correlating with Sanders. Outside of that though, there’s plenty of pickings.
- Josh Kelly – Texas Tech – $6000 … Not sure how we do not play Kelly. His ownership will be high and his talent is good enough to produce even going 1v1 vs Travis Hunter.
- Jaylin Noel – Iowa State – $6100 … Could see Higgins doing fine too, but I just love how Noel is the safety valve very often for the Iowa State offense. Going on the road he might see a bump in those shorter passes and have a 6+ catch game.
- Lewis Bond – Boston College – $5100 … Should be a very easy passing game for BC, assuming they aren’t stupid. I actually like Syracuse to win the game too, so don’d blindly assume BC won’t be trailing and and running it non stop. The alternative BC option is TE Kamari Morales ($3800). He has 3 for 30 floor and a TD in 2 of the last 3 BC games.
- Jeremiah Smith -OR- Emeka Egbuka – Ohio State – $7100/$6600 … I mentioned the YAC thing on Howard above. Smith certainly can give a little more of that but neither is a bad option.
- Tony Johnson – Cincinnati – $3600 … The Bearcats are coming off a BYE, and they feel like they’re being forgotten about and WVU has been very good against opponents rushing attacks. So the passing game for Cincinnati is gonna have to excel & at home you can pivot off the WR1 a little more often in CFB. Great value here or with Joe Royer (TE1 – $4000)
