CFB DFS Tailgate – September 10th

The full Tailgate DFS article will be for tommorrow’s Saturday Main slate as tonight is just a short little four gamer so I prefer to just keep it short and simple like a cheat sheet to help guide you along the right path.  We’re also still in FCS/FBS match-up season as tonight we have North Dakota and North Carolina A&T on this slate which presents a little bit of a headache as well.

All in all, the four games tonight are below and as you can see we have some heavy home favorites going tonight which isn’t shocking given the match-ups.  I will say that all games are equal in terms of the projected total points but with the North Dakota vs Utah State game presenting the closest spread you are likely to see some ownership on that as the highest game stack option on the board even though both teams are extremely boring.

• Kansas vs Coastal Carolina (-26)
• NC A&T vs Duke (-21)
• North Dakota vs Utah State (-6)
• UTEP vs Boise State (-26)

TOP STACK

Coastal Carolina

Grayson McCall and Coastal Carolina was a great story in the 2020 pandemic season and got added to DFS slates late in the year where they continued to fly under the radar despite being one of the better teams and offenses in the nation.  Kansas returns a pass defense that McCall should be able to do damage against with Javion Heiligh and Isaiah Likely at his disposal once again.  McCall had a 68% completion percentage in his Freshman season and those two were his primary targets.  Our one seperator today could be pivoting off one of the top end passing options for McCall but I don’t see Kameron Brown ($7,200) beating out Javion Heiliegh ($8,000) and the price discount on Likely ($4,800) is too good.  So instead, look at the running game where Resee White ($4,800) is in a good spot to get into the box as a heavy home favorite.  He should split time with Shermani Jones who is another deep flier option in a full 4 man Coastal Stack.
