Another three game slate tonight in CFB DFS land tonight and here are the games on both FanDuel and DraftKings.
- 57.5: Iowa (-3.5) vs Minnesota
- Call me crazy but I like the under.
- 41.0: Florida Atlantic (-9) vs Florida International
- No bet.
- 56.0: East Carolina vs Cincinnati (-27.5)
- Like ECU and the OVER
The Iowa vs Minnesota game along with Cincinnati exposure gets our obvious attention across these three spots with the Big 10 battle looking like the one to focus on the most. While Cincinnati has been dominant all season long this projects as a spot where they could get challenged a bit and I would not be shocked if we saw that game out score the Iowa-Minnesota one which should be more popular.
INJURIES to monitor
Malcolm Davidson – RB – Florida Atlantic: Expected to play tonight
Alec Pierce – WR – Cincinnati: Questionable and his status impacts fellow WR (and cover boy) Jayshon Jackson.
QUARTERBACK
Desmond Ridder (Cincinnati)
Much like last weekend when we had to lock in D’Eriq King as the elite QB, we need to do that tonight with Ridder.
Holton Ahlers (East Carolina)
I love ECU to keep it close and you’ll be debating between Iowa/Minn game stack or Cincy/ECU game stack. ECU will have zero success on the ground so Ahlers accounting for two touchdowns can pay off tonight. Expect him to finish with a state line around 25-40 with 280 yards passing and 3 touchdowns. You’d love that for his price.
RUNNING BACK
Tyler Goodson (Iowa)
Minnesota has a horrific defense. End analysis.
Gerrid Doaks (Cincinnati)
Doaks is likely going to outscore Ibrahim who is $2100 more expensive. It’s simply a matter of which game you project to go over and I project this one.
Malcolm Davidson (FAU)
Questionable but this is a good ground game spot for FAU and if he is good to go as expected then he’s a core play tonight.
WIDE RECEIVER
Jayshon Jackson (Cincinnati)
Assuming that Alec Pierce is out then Jackson becomes the #1 play on this slate me. His $4,000 price tag combined with a good chance he see’s 6 targets, catches 4 of them and pulls in about 15 yards per catch puts him around a 10 point evening if he does not score. That’s perfect in my books for his price tag and in a game I have being closer than expected it’s a good shot he scores a touchdown. I’m even okay with him if Pierce does play but just not as strong of a lock.
Roshod Bateman (Minnesota)
This is the most talented stud WR on the board and he gets the ball so much he is a tough guy to not consider today.
Blake Proehl – $4,100 & Tyler Snead – $7,100 (East Carolina)
Both Snead and Blake Proehl are the keys to ECU staying in the game with Cincinnati. The Bearcats have an elite rush defense so everything has to come through the air for ECU and considering these two roughly get the same amount of looks each game it’s hard to not start with Proehl at $3,000 cheaper than Snead. Snead is a fantastic pivot off Bateman in a full ECU stack
Nico Ragiani (Iowa)
Minnesota has a horrific defense. End analysis.
