I will just give you a quick summary on each game and what to target.
Western Kentucky vs UTSA
Previous Meeting: Western Kentucky W52-46
First off, we have my favorite mascot in college sports with the UTSA Road Runners here and the Hilltoppers aint that bad either.
As usual the Western Kentucky offense is led by their fast paced passing attack and Bailey Zappe at $9,000 is sure to be very popular and for good reason with it being a 2 game slate and him throwing 52 touchdowns on the season. All they do is throw and he’s just an auto lock in.
We should ask do we want Frank Harris on the other side? The Senior QB is only $6,400 and is likely to have a strong game here. The only other QB on this slate I have interest in is Oregon’s Anthony Brown, so playing 2 QB and just going all in on the WKU-UTSA game makes a ton of sense.
UTSA comes in after resting some players a week ago and I would expect them to roll in a high scoring game.
Utah vs Oregon
Previous Meeting: Utah beat Oregon 38-7 two weeks ago to ruin their playoff chances
I mentioned Brown above being in play and he’ll likely end up doing it with his arm in this one more than I would like, so the best exposure is through WR Devon Williams, who came on big with a 100 yard performance last week.
There just isn’t much to really buy into on the Utah side for me as I like this to be lower scoring and Oregon to win.

QB
Take the free square game stack chalk between Zappe (WKU) and Harris (UTSA). I would not build a lineup without both of them tonight.
RB
Sincere McCormick (UTSA) … He is the must play for UTSA, they simply do not win this game without him having a huge score and there just aren’t any other RB who have his potential.
Travis Dye … (ORE) … this is the only other RB I can expect to have a solid game. There is some merit to considering full game stack in the Conf USA game but lets be honest, we want the Western Kentucky receivers and thats where you can get different.
WR
Jerreth Sterns (WKU) and Mitchell Tinsley (WKU) are going to both see a ton of volume for Western Kentucky, but I do like taking a shot with Freshman Malachi Corley, who likely gets overlooked at $5,300 but has 7 touchdowns on the season and saves you a little money.
Zakhari Franklin (UTSA)
Joshua Cephus (UTSA)
Devon Williams (ORE)

Lineup Construction Thoughts & BETS
Playing both QB in the Conference USA Championship game with 2 pass catchers on both sides is what will win this slate, but my AMBUSH build tonight is making McCormick one of those pass catchers in a full UTSA heavy build.
