CFB DFS Tailgate – Week 1 – Thu

I think the whole world is going to jump on Colorado vs Georgia Tech tonight and likely for very good reasons.  With a short three game slate it’s not really about what game to stack when that’s the breakdown.  But for me, the Akron vs Wake Forest game is definitely equal in quality.  While, yes, Wake is a heavy home favorite and should blow this one out, we have them probably adjusting late to the Akron new look offense being more up-tempo.  So, for ranking, it will be like this

  1. Rutgers – Chalk Anchors
  2. Akron vs Wake Forest – Value Spot
  3. Colorado vs Georgia Tech – Core Build.

 

  1. Gio Lopez (Wake Forest – $7500)
  2. Alberto Mendoza (Georgia Tech – $7200)
  3. Reese Poffenbarger (Akron – $5500

 

  1. Antwan Raymond (Rutgers – $8900):  Could double stack RU backs with Clay Thevenin
  2. Justice Haynes (Georgia Tech – $8100)
  3. Jordan Grant (Akron – $6200)

 

  1. Marcel Williams (Akron – $4200) – Great value here
  2. Carlos Hernandez (Wake Forest – $6900)
  3. Jordan Allen (Georgia Tech – $4600)

COLORADO RECEIVERS

You need one of these for certain as a CORE of your top three WR tonight.  They don’t have a shot in this game without one of them having 6 for 90.  I land on Moore potentially as a new transfer here to shine at his price if Scudero is out.

  1. Joseph Williams (Colorado: $5700)
  2. DeAndre Moore Jr (ColoradO: $4600)
  3. Danny Scudero (Colorado: $6000) – Monitor injury status

 

 

THE CORE

  • QB:  Alberto Mendoza – GT
  • RB:  Antwan Raymond – Rutgers
  • WR:  Marcel Williams – Akron
  • WR:  Joseph Williams – Colorado

 

THE BETS

  • Georgia Tech -6.5
  • Akron / Wake Forest OVER 50.5
