This has been a very busy week in DailyOverlay land.
We’re finishing up baseball, pumping out NFL content and we have college football to boot.
So due to time constraints, this week only, I am mixing both the morning and evening slates into one.
We will have five quarterbacks, five running backs and five wide receivers mixed in from both slates. After this week, I’ll separate them into each slate.
But, isn’t it nice to have college football DFS in all its glory?
Things didn’t pan out so hot in Week 1, but that’s OK. I feel like this year is a rebuilding year for a lot of teams and we will start to see the usage and stars emerge while quarterback and running back committees will take shape and who is receiving the most target shares in the passing game.
It’s a process, and we will certainly get there.
So on to Saturday’s slate of games!
Quarterbacks
Khalil Tate – Arizona – $10,400 – Early
Analysis: Tate and the Wildcats were in a tough contest last week, but now they get a Houston squad that struggled against Rice of all teams. This game is projected to be the highest scoring game on the early slate and Tate is a legit Heisman candidate. The numbers may not show last week, so the upside is still to come.
Nick Fitzgerald – Mississippi St. – $10,200
Analysis: Fitzgerald enters the show after a one-game suspension. His first crack at stuffing the stat sheet comes early Saturday morning as the Bulldogs draw the skeleton of Kansas State. The Wildcats gave up 257 yards through the air in their first match up against….South Dakota.
Kyle Shurmur – Vanderbilt – $8,400 – Early
Analysis: Kyle Shurmur and his experienced receivers get Nevada in one of the highest-projected games on the board.
Feleipe Franks – Florida – $7,800 – Late
Analysis: The late slate is tricky, but there’s some value here in dual-threat Florida QB Feleipe Franks. Kentucky isn’t a formidable opponent or defense.
Kenny Pickett – Pittsburgh – $6,800 – Late
Analysis; Another value QB is Kenny Pickett who draws a Penn State defense that allowed 292 passing yards to…Appalachian State in a near-miss.
