CFB DFS Week 10 Saturday Slate | DraftKings DFS Picks, Plays and Process

Like it's less than a dollar a day, even less now that we're mid season for the football packages. But we have this shows tab up here where you can click into the shows tab, whether you click latest shows or just on shows. And it's all the shows we've done. It's got all of the shorts if you want just quick hits. But if you go into these tabs, It's going to have all the timestamps.

You can watch the show if you want to. It's going to have the shortened version. It's going to have specific players. It's going to have all of the timestamps and transcripts. It's super, super easy to consume. If you don't have time to watch the entire show, I mean, that's what I want you to do. Why wouldn't you, whether you're doing it on here in podcast form? You can find everything you want on this shows tab at ShippenNation.com.

Just one of the things we're always innovating here. And this is one of the new additions that I absolutely love. Kenny, I know you mentioned this previously. Is this still something that you're using on a weekly basis and you're using it for other sports? Yeah. Yeah, for sure. Like Monday, I didn't have time to listen to the showdownShowdown (Captain and MVP)Showdown is a single-game DFS format where you build a lineup under a salary cap. In Captain or MVP formats, you assign one player to a special roster slot that multiplies their fantasy points and can increase their salary.Compare complete lineups with different players in the multiplier slot. Leaving salary unused can reduce duplication, but do not sacrifice meaningful scoring potential just to make your lineup unusual.Read the full definition of Showdown show. That's what I've been using it. I don't play NBA at all.

So, I mean, obviously there's probably a show every day for that, but yeah, it's a great, great tool just to catch up on everything quick. I know a lot of my friends that can't watch the show uses this now too. So, and yeah, and it's free to use for everyone. Right. Correct. So that's pretty sweet. I believe so. Yeah. I, So that's one thing I actually need to check. I haven't logged in without it.

But yeah, the shows page should be accessible to everybody. But yeah, I mean, it's a cool feature. And like I said, it saves so much time as if like all of the stuff we have on ShipIt is meant to save you time so that you don't have to make DFS a full time job in terms of the amount of hours you spend.

Looking at it but I just wanted to show that off a little bit because it's one of the cooler new features that I love on our website but we'll get into the slateSlateA slate in DFS is the set of games, races, fights or tournament rounds covered by a contest. It determines which events your player selections can come from and which performances count toward your score.Before building, open the contest details and check the included events, scoring period and lock rules. Do not assume two sites offer identical slates just because both call them the main slate.Read the full definition of Slate for this Week we are starting off with Texas at missouri Texas a road favorite and one of the big things that came through this Week is that it looks like there's trouble in hollywood we're not going to be seeing Hollywood Smothers out there so is it going to be relique brown carrying the load completely are we going to see more of the Freeman Derek Cooper, who everybody's high on.

And then we have Wingo and Coleman both on the report as questionable. So on top of the injury newsInjury NewsInjury news is information about a player's health that can change whether they compete, how much they play or how effectively they perform. In DFS, it also affects opportunities for teammates and opponents.Before an uncertain player's game locks, identify an alternative you can afford at each affected position. Check whether making that change would require another player whose game starts earlier.Read the full definition of Injury News, the guys we already know are out. There's some question marks on how to approach this. I mean, it's a low scoring game to begin with. It's a tough matchup on the road. You know, same thing for Missouri. I know they're at home and they have some studs and they funnel all of their usage, but you're still paying for these guys.

And I Texas, say what you want about Texas. I think they can still put up a fight on defense. I believe Simmons is on the report, though, too. So are we going to see Colin Simmons out there? Like, there's a lot of uncertainty. And how much attention are you giving to that in terms of, you know, the usage that could go to these guys, despite it being, you know, a forty two and a half point team totalTeam TotalIn CFB DFS, a team total estimates a college team's points, usually from the game total and point spread. It describes team scoring expectations, not how much production the starters will accumulate.Recheck team totals after major news, then ask which players actually benefit. If your projections already reflect the change, avoid adding another automatic boost.Read the full definition of Team Total? How are you approaching this game, Kenny?

Yeah, you know, with the It's kind of weird to see an SEC road team favored. Gosh, you would think as poor as Texas is looked and Missouri's look great at home, that'd be the other way. But yeah, I guess this Texas side, I hate the matchup for the running backs, and I just don't fully trust it's going to be all Relique Brown. I think he's a fair price and everything, but for me, that's kind of a pass.

This receiver room's Like if Wingo and Coleman are out, Mosley and Bishop are going to project extremely well. So that's something to watch for tonight. I really don't have a lean on either way. I mean, Cam Coleman came out and said this after halftime, but I mean, it looked like he was walking fine. I don't know what his injury was for sure. Um, but yeah, like overall, I mean, the, all these guys play and gosh, those prices are so cheap.

I'm not going to have a ton of exposure to this Texas side just because this game environment looks kind of crappy. Um, yeah, the Missouri side for me, I mean, a lot of hard, he made his return last Week. He didn't, um, It didn't have much impact. It wouldn't even shock me if he didn't play at all this game. That being said, that kind of hurts Jamal Roberts and he's super priced up. So I think that's kind of a pass for me this Week too.

Receivers are fine, but just this game of mine sucks. This feels like it's a twenty to seventeen. Everything's a little too expensive. So it's kind of a kind of a boring game to start out with. But these injury spots is going to be huge because they will have a great projectionProjectionsDFS projections estimate a player's fantasy points for an upcoming slate using expected opportunities, performance and the contest's scoring rules. They describe an expected result, not a guaranteed score.Check the projection's update time and assumed role before using it. If news is already included, adjusting again for that same news can double-count its effect.Read the full definition of Projections if so. Yeah, and one other, I think, injury to note for Texas is their top left tackle is out for the game. Just another injury to pile on there for Texas.

And another thing that is interesting for me, just I'm at Hardy coming back last Week off the gunshot. We're in this offseason. It was preseason All-American before that happened. It was projected first round potential NFL pick. And Jamal Roberts has been so good in volume this year for Missouri. How much so? Hardy played a little bit last Week, not that much. Does he get an uptick this Week? How is he looking? Does that eat into Roberts at all? Is it?

Because certainly going into the year, no one would ever have thought that Amon Hardy wasn't going to be the one A guy coming in. Now, of course, with the injury and whatnot and the wound in him coming back, where does he stand with that? So what happens there from the Missouri side?

Just a weird, you know, it's a really big football game, really almost kind of like a playoff elimination type game, potentially for one of the, both of these teams still on the cusp of that, having those goals in mind. I think Cam Coleman is finally priced down to a point where if he, if we know he's playing and maybe Wingo doesn't play, you know, I expect Wingo to play in his hometown that, you know, maybe Coleman is somebody to look at.

And then if one or both of them are out, then Mosley steps up as a guy that, you know, It's definitely playable as well. This game could go . This game can go . You know, it's one of those things that we'll see how the timeline plays out. We'll see how it goes. It probably depends on what arch we get. Yeah, I mean, arch is kind of a wild card. Still in that low .

Again, a bit tougher of a matchup, but Until we see news, it's really difficult to project where you want to go in this game and if you still want to go to this game. So we'll be watching that closely. Obviously, that's a benefit of being in the Ship It Nation Discord. We have these discussions, especially Saturday morning, but leading up to these games as well. Moving on to BYU at Utah, the holy war. BYU, a dog on the road.

On the BYU side, this is probably the biggest talking point outside of the rivalry itself. LJ Martin is back. Do we know? He's been practicing this Week. It looks like everything is on track. I mean, this is obviously his best opportunity to see the field since he went down. You know, he's $7,100. If we were getting LJ Martin $7,100 and he'd been healthy all year, I think we'd probably take that even in this matchup.

But that's I mean, that's going to be the biggest talker leading into the game. Bear Bachmeier at $8,000 it's it's decision time. Do you take the talent or are you scared of the matchup? Legend Glasser still sub $6,000 Kyler Casper still in the low five Ks. I think those are very affordable guys with a lot of the upside. And then on the Utah side, it's expensive. I mean, that's just, it's been the discussion with Utah the entire season. Dan Pierce, $8,800.

I mean, that's in terms of this slateSlateA slate in DFS is the set of games, races, fights or tournament rounds covered by a contest. It determines which events your player selections can come from and which performances count toward your score.Before building, open the contest details and check the included events, scoring period and lock rules. Do not assume two sites offer identical slates just because both call them the main slate.Read the full definition of Slate, that's not a bad price, but he also has a tough matchup. Way Sean Parker at $8,800 expensive. Braden Pegan, $7,000 expensive for a wide receiver. It, this seems like a lot of these guys have the upside. I mean, way Sean Parker might be the one that you go to, but how are you approaching this Ian with, with the LJ Martin news in the cash and single entrySingle-EntryA single-entry contest allows each user exactly one lineup. It can be a cash game or a tournament.In single-entry, one or two contrarian decisions are usually enough. Pair a strong, popular core with a lower-owned piece instead of fading everything the field likes.Read the full definition of Single-Entry streets? He's usually a lock and load.

It would be, and a seven-one would be a very fair price. I think this is one of those situations where you look at the slate as a whole, and we'll get to these games.

You look no further than the next couple games that we'll talk about, and you can see why this might be a game that you kind of brush over as well, which kind of, you know, this is definitely the marquee game at the time slate, you know, a massive playoff implication game, massive Big Twelve game, but I would have liked Bear a lot more if Martin was out, because I think that would take a lot of his rushing equity out now. I still like Glasser.

I think Glasser is a guy that you could look in and Casper as well. Dan Pierce, definitely a guy that I think is worthy of a look as well. But I like none of these guys like stand out as again, this is another game that it could be seventeen to ten. It could be thirty one twenty eight. We just got to kind of see how the game flow is. It's early, early start time out there in Utah. Ten a.m. Local time start for the Holy War here.

But these guys are priced up to a point where when you take a look back and you look at the slate as a whole, I think this is a game where these guys are priced kind of out of the ranges compared to where everybody else in their similar price ranges are or similar skill level is. They're definitely gettable as one-offsOne-OffIn CFB DFS, a one-off is a player you roster outside a stack, often a running back or a receiver without his quarterback. A quarterback selected without his pass catchers can also function as a standalone play.Before adding a one-off, compare him with an affordable teammate of your existing stack. Decide whether his individual upside is worth passing up that extra scoring connection.Read the full definition of One-Off. Bear is one of the best dual threat quarterbacks. Dan Pierro is one of the best dual threat quarterbacks.

Lasker is a top end number one receiver in his price range, very affordable. Martin, I don't think is going to kill Fogle at all. I would not expect a full workload from him. I think we kind of got to be patient with him and not get too excited that he's in there. And Parker, I think, is priced out of the running back range this Week. So Pegan as well. Really looking forward to watching this game.

No situation, but I just think there's none of these guys stand out to me. Maybe Glasgow is the one guy that I would key in on for my single entry, maybe three entries, hand build, cash builds. Yeah, I mean, I don't have a ton of interest in stacking this game, but I do think there's some really one-off pieces that I like that I'll touch on. The BYU side, I'm not super interested in Bear. If I was playing one-fifty this Week, I'd probably have some.

I guess really, like, the receiver group, we know about Glasgow and Casper, but Walker Lyons, Rogers Sapopoli is doubtful this Week. Walker Lyons had seven targets last Week, and he was playing a ton of snaps anyways. If he's like their best pass catching, like I think BYU had eleven tight end targets last Week, maybe something like that. I think Walker lines at $3,500. You could do a lot worse. I think that that's kind of sneaky. The Utah side, I think Dampier is a little too expensive.

And last Week, so hard to gauge because that game just got out of control so quick. I think this one is going to quite be like that. I don't know if Bear will throw pick sixes like French was, but I guess the Dampier and the Pegan I'm not super interested in, but Wayshawn Parker has kind of grown on me as I've looked into the slate more. Last Week, Carday Mack had a really good game against BYU. He averaged over five yards to carry.

He had five catches. Parker did kind of get banged up last Week and didn't really get his full workload, but obviously the game environment was bad. I'm sure he could have gained back. He's not on the report. I don't have any concern there, but he's easy to get to on this slate, so I think he could do a lot worse at BYU.

Um $8,800 like just we have these as we get along there's value at every position um so yeah I guess that's kind of where it is for me maybe like a sneaky like way Sean Parker Walker line stack I mean that's how you get to Parker right there playing a $3,500 alliance I don't think he's necessarily the best $3,500 plan of sleep but he's pretty solid but yeah that's all I really have for the uh the holy war Yeah, and if you want to pay upSpending UpSpending up means choosing a higher-priced player over a cheaper alternative, using more of your lineup's salary budget at that spot. You may also hear it called paying up.Build a version with your preferred expensive player and another without. Before choosing, check whether either version relies on a cheap player whose expected role still depends on unresolved injury news.Read the full definition of Spending Up for these guys, there's quarterbacks in the next game we'll talk about.

There's quarterbacks later on that we'll talk about that are definitely in the value range. Heck, I think there's guys at every position in the next game that we can talk about to help you build your lineup. So that's a seamless transition. And I'm going to break it up anyway because we need those likes up. We need the reviews on podcast form. If you have questions, get them in the comments section. We love when the comments are active.

We love chatting with you guys, even if it's just hearing your thoughts on any specific game. We're here for it. But Clemson at Syracuse, you know, decent point total, close spread, expected to be competitive to not like mid teams at best, would you say? You know, Clemson coming off of a big win against Florida Staten. Tate Reynolds just going off both with his legs and through the air. And he's cheap. He's $5,600.

I don't see any reason he couldn't replicate what he did against Syracuse. Especially when you're not factoring in any of Mother Nature. I mean, it's an indoor game, so it should be obviously no impact there. Running back room is interesting because we're not going to see Gidron Davidson. EZ is still out. So that means it's time for Jarvis Green, a senior this year. This is his first real opportunity in his career. I know he got some run in the last game.

And then, you know, Chris Johnson is still there. But it does seem like Green is going to be the one at $4,100. And then in the wide receiver room, another question mark because Tyler Brown is questionable. You know, for me, that just screams, oh, more, more opportunity for Wesco and more. I mean, you might get a tight end that steps up or one of the backups that's going to come in and have an impact now.

But to me, it screams one less mouth to feed, more usage for more and Wesco. And then on the Syracuse side at.

Steve a quarterback is still a mess steve angeli is still on the report their other two quarterbacks are out uh I mean he did fine what do you do just give him give him an injection send him out on the field isn't that what they did last Week there's a lot of chatter about that I can't imagine it'll be any different so I expected to go and at $5,200 again solid game environment Ahmad Miller is I mean It seems like he's going to continue to get some work.

I mean, he had eighteen carries again. Obviously wasn't as big of an impact, but he does have touchdowns in four straight games. And we've talked more than I thought we would about Syracuse receivers lately. Obviously, you get the big discount on Russell from Yamari Hatcher. And I think honestly, I think they both have similar upside. So, Kenny, when you're looking at this, this kind of game, it's going to be competitive. We're getting value even more so because of injuries and injuries.

Even with only a forty nine and a half point team totalTeam TotalIn CFB DFS, a team total estimates a college team's points, usually from the game total and point spread. It describes team scoring expectations, not how much production the starters will accumulate.Recheck team totals after major news, then ask which players actually benefit. If your projections already reflect the change, avoid adding another automatic boost.Read the full definition of Team Total, this seems like a stackable game. Yeah, for sure. The, the value and the pricing is definitely there here. I guess my biggest concern is like, I don't really know where the game flow is going to be. Like, so I guess kind of starting with the Syracuse side last Week, they were ahead and they like ran personnel and ran the ball as much as they could.

Um, I don't necessarily think that could be the case, but I don't see this being a blowout. Syracuse has definitely improved, um, coming off back to back wins. Um, So that kind of has me off, like, maybe the game stackGame StackIn college football, a game stack usually combines a quarterback, his pass catchers and one or more players from the opposing offense.Target games where the spread is close as well as the total high. A high total with a lopsided spread can turn into a blowout where only one side keeps scoring.Read the full definition of Game Stack, but the pricing still kind of sucks me back in. I don't know. For the Syracuse side, really, for me, this Week it's maybe some Calvin Russell.

He kind of ran bad last Week, but I just – Angeli would usually be in play, but he's sandwiched right between two really good chief quarterbacks, and one of them is Tate Reynolds on the other side. I don't know how much the Florida Staten defense is going to make anybody look good, but Tate Reynolds, is he a true freshman, redshirt freshman? I can't remember for sure. He's not true. So he's improving as the season's going on.

I think he's in a fine spot and he has some rushing upside just because of or more rushing upside just because of the Davidson not playing. Jarvis Green, that I think is going to be a little too popular for me. I think I'm going to kind of look at other places just because we have those other options. If that's what people are going to go with, I think I'm going to try to go elsewhere.

These receivers, gosh, they just like Clemson receivers just always project probably better than they are. That being said, there is a lot of upside. These guys are super talented. Tyler Brown's out. That's even one less mouth to feed here.

But I don't mind I almost think it might be kind of unique pairing Tate Reynolds because I think a lot of builds are just going to click in Tate Reynolds to have that cheap quarterback um but overall I would kind of say I'm almost generally off this game like I just don't like I don't feel good about anything here I think I'd rather go with like a different ACC game that we might talk about next but yeah yeah I think I think that's kind of me here yeah and that was something that somebody even brought up in our chat last Saturday Speaking of the big guy earlier, he's like, D-Gen would have warned us about a backup running back all of a sudden getting RB one run.

Because it was Makai Frazier last Week. He seemed like one of the best plays on the slateSlateA slate in DFS is the set of games, races, fights or tournament rounds covered by a contest. It determines which events your player selections can come from and which performances count toward your score.Before building, open the contest details and check the included events, scoring period and lock rules. Do not assume two sites offer identical slates just because both call them the main slate.Read the full definition of Slate. And then we watched the game, and I still haven't seen what exactly happened to basically create the hiatus he was on for a good portion of the middle of that game. But just because it's an RB wanted a cheap price and a good matchup. There's a reason he wasn't the starter before this, and it's not like a one a one B situation.

So all I have to say, proceed with caution. Ian, what is your take on this game? It's not even just last Week with Frazier. It was two weeks ago with Denman as well that we talked about a backup four-K running back that kind of proceed. And with that situation, it was like we said, Tate Reynolds at a five-three quarterback with that dual threat. I mean, is he going to replicate pass for three hundred, rush for a hundred?

I don't know about that, but if there's a game that he can back it up doing it with, it's this one. It's not his first start. He's been starting all year, and he was hyped up as a guy who can do that work. It also makes for, you don't have to stack Tate Reynolds at all, but it makes Wes Gore more, especially if Brown is out, makes for a very good option, even single or double.

And then on the other side, I think what we saw last Week with Syracuse, I think is what we could expect. Angeli, you know, pretty solid early on, split in the backfield, which makes it harder. He went to Russell early, had some bad luck, like Kenny said. You know, he got a touchdown call back. He almost had a great catch in the end zone.

And then late, when they were making their comeback, it was all Hatcher, Hatcher, Hatcher, Hatcher over and over and worked on a little bit of Bichelle. So just so affordable. This game is so affordable for the total, almost a fifty-point total it is. It's certainly not going to be the best game of the day.

As far as implications playoff, it might be the best game, but as far as implications for playoffs, for everything else, it's not going to be the most notable game. But for our purposes, it's one that could, again, it could be twenty three to twenty, but it also could be just like Clemson and Syracuse both played last Week, both in the thirties. And all these guys are really in play. I think it is condensed enough to where we know where the ball is going.

That could really help us even handshare at really expensive price.

Salary you can get there because he's a cheap it's a cheap stack with angelli yeah it's one of those games that could go a lot of different directions like you said not necessarily great for real life football and we could see it get sloppy especially with these guys injured um but that was one thing that I remember from last Week watching that syracuse game I haven't looked back at the stats but if you just box score watching it doesn't tell the whole story because it seemed like every time I looked up there was a significant play getting called back by penalty And the officials had a pretty big impact on that game from a DFS perspective as well.

So, I mean, if that's what's keeping Russell at $4,600, then so be it. I'll take it again. I'll go right back to the well on that. It doesn't it doesn't reflect his actual performance in the game last Week. Sure. Absolutely. All right. Florida Staten and Boston College. Why don't we continue talking about the injury reportsInjury NewsInjury news is information about a player's health that can change whether they compete, how much they play or how effectively they perform. In DFS, it also affects opportunities for teammates and opponents.Before an uncertain player's game locks, identify an alternative you can afford at each affected position. Check whether making that change would require another player whose game starts earlier.Read the full definition of Injury News? Because more significance here. No Singleton, no chroma still. Ray Weisner is now questionable.

If Weisner can't go, Amari Thomas is the only other guy with a carry this year in terms of running backs. So, I mean, we're looking at a min price running back that could be thrust in. You know, if Weisner goes, I think he's still in a good spot. If he doesn't, maybe just – it helps Daniels $9,000 price tag easier, like make it even easier to swallow. So that's, it just might be better for Daniels especially in this matchup, Boston college is not a scary defense.

So I'm not worried about, you know, these starters being out in a dramatic drop in performance. But in the wide receiver room, Deuce Robinson out makes Danzy a great play. It makes Boggs a solid play. Jason Lopez got a ton or on the point guard on the basketball team. I got a ton of run in the last game as well. And you got these guys in the three Ks.

And this is something it's a lot easier to swallow value wide receiver because, you know, they're wide receivers. They could probably catch. And like I said, the competition on the other side isn't so great that it concerns me too much. On the Boston College side, even at $7,500, I think you can consider Mason McKenzie. He looks good. If nothing else for the matchup, Florida Staten, their defenses has been real poor this year. Bo McCormick.

A guy we're getting more value on at the running back position if you want it. No Evan Dickens. He's been carrying the load, although last Week there wasn't a whole lot to carry because of the thwomping at the hands of Duke, forty seven to two. It's it's it's just hilarious to me that you can get a safety on defense and then give up forty seven points. I didn't see how it happened.

So it was I think I think it was the two point conversion or like a block. Oh, OK. So a special teams that makes more sense. Yeah, that they weren't on the slateSlateA slate in DFS is the set of games, races, fights or tournament rounds covered by a contest.

Do not assume two sites offer identical slates just because both call them the main slate.Read the full definition of Slate. So I'm not going to be shy about saying that I didn't watch that game. But then on the in the receiver room, Javarius Green is the only guy with more than twenty targets this season. And I mean, he's obviously priced like the alpha. So, again, another injury riddled game in.

But. We're talking even more points. We're now into the fifties for totals. We keep going up and up as we go along in the slate. Right. And in this game, like you said, it creates a lot of value. I mean, Ashton Daniels is priced up at $9,000 quarterback. We've seen already value on the slate in the previous game. And he's a guy that we've seen his ceilingCeilingCeiling is the high end of a player's or lineup's realistic range of fantasy scores.

Then check whether those conditions help or hurt the other players in your lineup.Read the full definition of Ceiling game. He's had a fifty point game this year.

And with all the running backs you just said out and maybe Trey Weisner being out, does that just mean that Daniels is going to carry the load that much more? Probably. One thing to note with Florida Staten, they do this fire Mike Norvell, their head coach, and he was also their play caller. So they got a new play caller this Week. Sometimes it opens it up. Sometimes these guys are all playing for contracts at this point.

That was just a long time coming for Florida Staten. The one thing that would concern me with them, what's the weather be like in Boston College? Guys from Florida usually don't like traveling up northeast in November. But we'll see what the weather is like out there. Like you said, receivers carry value. They've scored this year all year. Now there's the top targets out. Not like they're stepping in as backups. So this game presents a lot of value as well.

It's hard to ignore. And I know Daniels is priced up. He's one of those guys that his floor is there with the rushing. And we've seen the ceiling game from him before. We kind of know where it is that. It is someone to definitely consider in that price range. Again, this game is pretty garbage compared to the rest of the games on the slate, but it could for DFSB, that Fool's Gold or that gold that we're looking for, that treasure in the garbage.

On the other side, Boston College, I think there's three guys that you mentioned. McKenzie is a dual threat. He does rush the ball a ton. He's had several games where he's rushed over a hundred yards. I believe he's their leading rusher. McCormick is a He's a good play at running back, good guy to look at in the four Ks for that value because we can depend. He's been the starter. He's going to get the carries. He's not like been a backup each year.

He just doesn't get as much run as the quarterback does.

And you can anticipate touching the ball like ten, twelve times, depending on how the game is going. He's had some spike games before with McKenzie rushing the ball as well, too.

They put up almost fifty against Georgia Tech almost a few just a few weeks ago. And you mentioned the receiver as well. But just know that McKenzie is a pretty solid dual threat quarterback in the right matchup here. He does run the ball around a lot and some both sides looking at that rushing upside from the QB there. Yeah, for sure.

Like this game, like I want to game stackGame StackIn college football, a game stack usually combines a quarterback, his pass catchers and one or more players from the opposing offense.Target games where the spread is close as well as the total high. A high total with a lopsided spread can turn into a blowout where only one side keeps scoring.Read the full definition of Game Stack the crap out of this thing because Florida Staten has played in some absolute nukes this year. I guess my biggest concern was if like Boston College completely flops again, but I tend to, I mean, Florida State's defense is so bad. They have the worst defense on the slate by a pretty significant amount as far as PFF grades goes. I guess, yeah, I did see this morning that Wisner is trending towards playing. So he's probably fine at that price tag.

I'm probably kind of out on Amari Thomas then. Then, yeah, the Florida Staten receivers I'm really in on. I mean, Ashton Daniels, of course. But, yeah, seeing what Lopez did last Week, I don't know if he's going to have a Deuce Robinson type role where they attack down the field. But he definitely got enough targets and production last Week at $3,300.

Like one of those rare situations where I think it's a double stack Ashton Daniels and he can still run for a ton because these guys don't even necessarily need to score touchdowns. They could get there on volume. So, yeah, and then the Boston-Collins side, I really like almost onslaughting this team. I think you can play McKenzie and McCormack together. Like you wouldn't shock me if they combined for three hundred rush yards here.

McCormick only had nine carries last Week, but that game just got out of control, similar to how Utah and Cincinnati was last Week. I guess the one guy that I kind of have some interest in that I am going to play in like the type of build I'm doing this Week is Kalen Chudzinski at $3,200. He was supposed to be out for the year. Like he was he was kind of a best late round tight end.

And then I believe it was a torn ACL. I could be wrong, but he started and played last Week. He played twelve snaps and had five targets, only got one of them. But I went back and looked at the play by play and he got the first pass of the game and had the second pass of the game targeted to him.

So I think at $3,200 that like if and you don't by any means need to pair McKenzie, but I think that's almost a unique way to get McKenzie. All he needs to do is fall in the box.

Not that it's too relevant ford state has a lot of touchdown to a tight end the last two weeks um but yeah if you wanted to get a little sneaky and you want to pay up for um the Ashton Daniels side of this as well um shitsinski's a game stack option that you could get there with but yeah this game is awesome I think that I think this game could go absolutely nuts and the weather it did look like there might be some weather but I just looked it looks like the forecast is clearer than it was so that also helps yeah you

Don't have to do much convincing to get me to play under the radar tight end so I I love it I love it uh now into the big ten a game that certainly Doesn't warrant a ton of DFS talk. Significant real-life football game, UCLA at Minnesota. Very low team total, very low spread. Not very low spread, I guess. Enough that I consider it to be a competitive game. Significant because Minnesota's four and one at home outright as an underdog in their last five games.

So this is, I mean, it's a fairly significant game. Road trip as well from California to Minnesota. I know they upset USC at home a couple years ago. It's not an easy trip to make. In terms of DFS, Ty Dieffenbach is $5,100, but there's cheaper quarterbacks we'll talk about. There's quarterbacks in his range. He's basically been doing enough to win, which doesn't mean anything for DFS, especially if he might only need seventeen points to win this football game.

Wayne Knight is just expensive and If you're talking about like we already talked about way Sean Parker in that range. If you want to pay that much, I feel like he's in a much better spot. Knight looks good on paper. If you're just looking at his average, he averages twenty four DK points a game. That's awesome. That's a nice, nice, good average. But he hasn't eclipsed twenty since October tenth, which also happens to be the last time he scored more than one touchdown.

Now, it's certainly possible even on his low usage that he can score two touchdowns in this game. But I don't know that I want to rely on that at $8,600. To have a successful DFS player, wide receivers kind of tough just because the usage is spread out. I probably go Samaj Morgan of anybody just because he moves around enough. He he can create problems any different which way. But like I said, UCLA has been winning sloggy games. They've been winning with their defense.

Their offense has been doing enough to win. Minnesota kind of built the same way other than the record. Right. They're not doing enough to win. But they play a similar style, like just slow, defensive minded. You know, Drake Lindsey might be a slightly better play than Diefenbach, but not considering him. If I am going to look to this running back room as TJ Thomas, I he's been the better running back than Darius Taylor. And I'm not afraid to say that. And he's $2,000 cheaper.

Again, there's too much value on this slateSlateA slate in DFS is the set of games, races, fights or tournament rounds covered by a contest. It determines which events your player selections can come from and which performances count toward your score.Before building, open the contest details and check the included events, scoring period and lock rules. Do not assume two sites offer identical slates just because both call them the main slate.Read the full definition of Slate, and I've already talked way too much about this game. Wide receivers are just too expensive for me on the Minnesota side. If I'm going anywhere, it's Roman Voss, tight end. We've seen him get more and more involved. He had this sweet touchdown against Indiana on a trick play, and Pierce Walsh is doubtful again. So it's going to be Voss at tight end, and they seem to want to get him more involved, and it's shown on the field.

So if you want to dig into the three Ks, I wouldn't cross him off, but overall – I hate this game, Kenny. Yeah, it sucks that I have to talk about it first because I have nothing to say. Dang it, I was hoping you were going to change my mind. You're the one-fifty max150-MaxA 150-max DFS contest allows you to submit up to 150 entries into that contest, paying the entry fee for each.

The only thing I did consider, and it was from the Minnesota side, is one of these receivers as one-offsOne-OffIn CFB DFS, a one-off is a player you roster outside a stack, often a running back or a receiver without his quarterback.

I don't really want to play way night the cold tab of the Big Ten or as far as cold tab the way night of the Big Twelve because they're both pretty similar profiles. Yeah, that's really that's really all I have on this game. There isn't much for me at all. We can reserve our time for the next game. Ian, you got anything to add? Well, you know, I got to ask my weekly question. How many points in Minnesota was the Minnesota game last Week in regulation?

Oh, my gosh. Was it six, sixteen to sixteen after the sixty yard field goals? Would they play to the Week before twenty three points? Nope. Yeah. All right. You know what? That's good enough for me. I will say, like I said, dangerous spot for UCLA with the travel in Minnesota at home is no joke there. They're a nuisance in the Big Ten. They can beat anybody in Minnesota except maybe Ohio Staten, even the Ohio Staten now, honestly. Anyway, that's enough of that.

Let's go to Oklahoma Staten and Kansas Staten because we have some significant points in this one. Big boy total in the sixties. Drew Mestemaker, $9,800. I don't care. I'll play him. He's got three hundred yards and multiple touchdowns in every single game outside of their loss in Week one. And he's averaging, averaging three fifty eight and four over the last three games. Teams have been getting to K-State on the ground this year.

But with Oklahoma State's offense, I don't even care about the matchup, like if K-State's better against the pass and the run, because it's not significant enough for me to consider. That does make me like Caleb Hawkins even more, even at $9,500. Kansas Staten gave up five point two per carry to Colorado. Five point four to Kansas, seven point one to Cincinnati, speaking of cold tab.

And Hawkins is not only getting twenty two carries a game over the last three, he's getting twenty. He's gotten twenty three targets in the last three games combined as well. If I haven't talked enough about Oklahoma Staten yet, Justin Boak and Wyatt Young both have double digit target upside. They're both priced appropriately. Both have scored at least one touchdown in every single game, but one and both had two touchdowns last Week. Like they both got there last Week. And Miles Coleman.

He's on the field enough if you want a part of this offense but can't afford it. You got Miles Coleman and Terrence Lewis. Lewis has actually been on the field more than Coleman, just hasn't quite been used as much. And even at these prices, these guys project well because of their high team totalTeam TotalIn CFB DFS, a team total estimates a college team's points, usually from the game total and point spread. It describes team scoring expectations, not how much production the starters will accumulate.Recheck team totals after major news, then ask which players actually benefit. If your projections already reflect the change, avoid adding another automatic boost.Read the full definition of Team Total and how they've been winning games. They love winning shootouts, which also makes me like Kansas Staten because you can get to this okay state defense.

And we have a minimum price starter for Kansas Staten. He doesn't. Did okay through the arrogance, Colorado, but added some with his legs. I'm speaking of Blake Barnett. And this, like I said, that the defense doesn't scare me. And I don't like DK should have priced Barnett up with the current situation with Avery Johnson. There's no reason that we should have him in price starting quarterback, but we do. So if you want to get some of these more expensive guys, Barnett going to help you do that.

The running back room. Is in play as well, even though it's basically a fifty fifty split between Fields and Jackson. Fields has been a lot more effective with his touches lately. Jackson just has thirty yards on the ground over the last two games combined. So, you know, the extra six hundred dollars is not enough, in my opinion. But I want a piece of this run game, too.

You know, especially if you're playing multiple lineupsMulti-EntryMulti-entry means entering more than one lineup into the same contest. A contest's entry limit, such as 3, 20 or 150, sets how many lineups one user can submit.Set your total spend for the slate first, then divide it into entries. Multi-entry should spread a fixed budget across more outcomes, not raise how much you put at risk.Read the full definition of Multi-Entry, I think considering this run game is certainly viable. And for the same reasons I have spoke of, loving both sides of this game, I like the pass catchers for K-State as well. When Barnett was in, Tibbs and Manning were still the favorite targets. Derek Salley is interesting. Five targets, no catches. None of them were drops, though. I haven't gone back to watch the plays themselves. But that tells me that maybe the throws weren't that great.

And I know there's a lot of chatter on socials about K-State fans being sad, like, Scared they're going to lose Salley, and he's a high-end talent for sure. Tight ends. Speaking of tight ends, Garrett Oakley was back. Even with him back and scoring a touchdown, Lincoln Kier had three catches for sixty-five yards and a touchdown. You know, the game we thought he was going to have without the other tight ends on the field.

He did only run nine routes, though, so his field time was not significant, but he made big use of when he was out there. Ian, this feels like a cash single entrySingle-EntryA single-entry contest allows each user exactly one lineup.

Do not assume two sites offer identical slates just because both call them the main slate.Read the full definition of Slate. Best offense on the slate with guys that are priced up high, but kind of worth it at this point. Hard to argue against it.

This is kind of what North Texas was last year, and They're kind of worthy. Like, Caleb Hawkins at $10,000 was playable last year, and you even said it. That was the one thing I want to highlight. He's catching the ball a lot more this year than he was before, and he's still running it a ton. So he's just extra volume for Hawkins. And, you know, the other side of the ball, Kansas Staten, the home team underdog, just makes it that much playable.

I don't really know Oklahoma Staten on the road. I understand they're not playing Avery Johnson, but it's a really – For them to be almost a touchdown favorite based on how they've played the last few weeks is kind of hard to fathom. But regardless, DFS-wise, you could pick any piece of this game, one-offOne-OffIn CFB DFS, a one-off is a player you roster outside a stack, often a running back or a receiver without his quarterback.

Definitely have to have some pieces of this game. I will say that I don't know how much Kansas Staten I want to have.

If I'm playing the quarterback, then I want to fill out the roster. I don't know if I'll play a one-off receiver without playing the quarterback. Running back is tough, but they are both valued enough. Fields is probably a little bit better. This is also revenge game for Fields. Revenge game. Revenge game, yes, sir. So there's that. And Joe Jackson just needs to find his shoes, so he's not shoeless Joe. All right. Got that in.

The comedic relief this show has been lacking. That's perfect. But the revenge game from Fields, maybe that's a dollar Bill special right there. Yes, sir. But I think your cash coreCash GameA cash game is a contest that pays a large share of the field, usually close to half, the same flat prize. Fifty-fifties, double-ups and head-to-heads are the common cash games.Treat cash games as the steady base of your bankroll. Use one safe core across your cash entries on a slate, and save riskier ideas for tournaments.Read the full definition of Cash Game guys would be the Oklahoma Staten side because those guys can get their mess maker, Hawkins, probably one A quarterback, one A running back. Those Kansas Staten guys, I love the quarterback, and I'm impressed against the worst defense in the country. But you could stack this gameGame StackIn college football, a game stack usually combines a quarterback, his pass catchers and one or more players from the opposing offense.Target games where the spread is close as well as the total high.

Yeah I um gosh there's just so many cheap good plays this Week I guess like the oklahoma state I don't decide I don't have a ton to add I obviously love this side the one thing that is kind of cool this Week I think you can like play mess maker Hawkins and Bowick or young pretty easily all four of them's pretty tough to fit but I mean they just have the perfect correlationCorrelationCorrelation describes how two players' fantasy scores move together. Positively correlated players tend to have big games at the same time, usually because one player's success directly adds points for the other.When you build a tournament lineup, ask which of your players need the same thing to happen. The more of them that do, the higher your lineup's ceiling.Read the full definition of Correlation to play all three of those and the cheap run backs from the kansas state side Um, I guess a couple of things I'll tell him with K state, obviously I love this side as well.

Like this whole game, Dylan Duff did start last Week and then Barnett came in. I don't think that's a risk. It's just worth mentioning. Um, I think it's going to be Barnett job, um, You know, it was bad, I guess, you know, Oklahoma Staten coming off back to back losses. So is Kansas Staten to the absolute bottom of the conference. So I don't like, you know, you talked about the spread nights.

I almost was like, how is Oklahoma Staten only six point favorite? But it's just I don't know. Like Vegas obviously has a lot of respect for K-State with this big twenty eight total. Bill, I really like what you said about Derek Salley. He's specifically playing the outside. Tibbs is specifically a slot. I know last Week when Oklahoma Staten played Iowa Staten, I was doing my research.

I really liked a outside receiver against them and I didn't get enough Polite, but Polite absolutely new can play specifically on the outside. I think Derek Salley is a pretty sweet play. I don't know. And I kind of agree with the end where I don't think I'd play him as one offs. Sally's probably the only one if I'm like onslaughting this side and just thinking the Oklahoma Staten blows him out, but.

This oklahoma state defense is like I kind of had some respect for him to start the year and gosh they have just fallen off the cliff like I I um so yeah I don't know this game is just awesome love a game stack in any type of format so You know, one thing that I guess we'll bring up is annoying is like Joe Jackson, the last time we had K-State on the slate, just the second half of that game, Kansas Staten would not do anything other than hand the ball to this guy.

I hope they don't get ahead and that happens again, but that would be like a path for this whole game to like fail if Kansas Staten gets ahead and hands it off a ton. But I just don't see that happening with as good as Oklahoma State's been on offense. So, yeah, best game of the slate right here. Yeah, this is one of those games that's the big guy's alma mater. He was a Sooners fan, but he went to Oklahoma Staten.

And the Joe Jackson scenario of Kansas Staten gets up is a perfect it's not going to happen or it could situation. But if this game goes to script, we'll just say it's stacked and packed for the guy in the back. Okay. So, so on the slate so far, we've talked about on the biggest day of college football circle, we have all these top, top, top ten, top twenty playoff implication matchups.

We want to focus in on OK Staten, Kansas Staten, Florida Staten, Boston College and Clemson Syracuse. All right. Got it. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Write that down. It's not going to get a whole lot better in terms of playoff implication. I mean, With these SEC teams, any one of them could get it, honestly. And speaking of, we have Texas A&M at South Carolina. Marcel Reed at $6,400.

I didn't want to talk much about him, but he did finally start to run a little bit against Alabama. You know, he had three fumbles, but he did run a little bit more. Although I will say South Carolina has done a pretty good job containing dual threat quarterbacks between Camario, Keelan, Russell. If you want to throw John Mateer in there, too. They shut him down pretty well, but at $6,400.

I mean, it's it's not a complete cross off for me. K.J. Edwards has kind of taken over this backfield. He was limited against Alabama in the second half with a contusion. And he's on the report is questionable. He himself, though, did media interviews earlier this Week and he said he's good to go. So if we're going to take him at his word, everything is on track for him to play. And it's Jamari on Morrow still getting RB two reps.

Ruben Owens has been relegated to RB three, just eight carries over the last three games, sixteen offensive snaps in the last two games combined. So, I mean, if Edwards injury is is serious and he is limited again, there's just a lot of question marks in this running back room. And honestly, I feel like I want to target South Carolina through the air.

You know, well, We've talked about slot receivers against South Carolina, and, of course, the Week they play Oklahoma, whose two best pass catchers, like big names in Beers and Satania, both play from the slot. Oklahoma beat them on the outside, which was certainly fun seeing as it carried on to the end zone a couple of times. Mario Craver, though, looking a lot better lately. Fifteen targets over the last two games. He had a score in the last game.

He was able to rest when they played the Citadel. There's also a bye Week worked in there. So he might just be healthy. And at $4,700, a wide receiver, one playing in the slot against South Carolina. Consider me intrigued. And obviously, Isaiah Horton still out there. Plenty Ashton Bethel Romans off the report. You know, that might hurt like Aaron Gregory, T.K. Norman more than anything else in terms of usage.

Then on the South Carolina side, Lenora Sellars at $8,300 kind of a middle range for quarterbacks. A&M's defense is not scary anymore. And the Gamecocks are also going to be without Matt Fuller. So that's even more upside for a seller to get it done with his legs. So I think with the rushing upside at $8,300, that is certainly a fine play outside of Fuller, the running back room. We don't have a ton of production coming from there yet.

Jabri Coleman had thirteen carries against all you played a season high in snaps. Isaiah Augusta is going to be out there. Maybe we see former Longhorn Christian Clark, but I think Jawan Howell being healthy could throw a wrench in as well. Question marks in this running back room too. And then in terms of the wide receivers, Mazeo Bennett has scored in three straight and he's got a pretty consistent target shareTarget ShareIn college football, target share is the same percentage of team targets, but it is often far more concentrated: many offenses send a third or more of their throws to one receiver or tight end.Judge target share over the last three or four games, not the full season, especially after a trade, an injury or a quarterback change. The most recent role is the one you are paying for.Read the full definition of Target Share over the last four weeks and decently high target share too.

If you're going by the pattern, it's not a Nick Harbor Week. Every other game he spikes and in the off weeks he duds. You know, that's more superstition than anything, but It's real. DJ Black, Donovan Murph still in the field a lot. And DJ Black at $3,700. I mean, we kind of talked about it last Week or the last time South Carolina was on a slateSlateA slate in DFS is the set of games, races, fights or tournament rounds covered by a contest. It determines which events your player selections can come from and which performances count toward your score.Before building, open the contest details and check the included events, scoring period and lock rules. Do not assume two sites offer identical slates just because both call them the main slate.Read the full definition of Slate. DJ Black got there on one play, one catch, eighty four yards touchdown.

That's the high, high upside you see with these value wide receivers that are just on the field a lot that have that big play potential. One play and he's at four and a half X. So again, A total in the fifties, some value. Kenny slot receivers against South Carolina. Is that back this Week? We're not going to completely write that off after one Week, right? It's definitely worth being considered.

I know for a fact, if I was doing one hundred and fifty lineups this Week, I definitely would play some Craver and force sellers with him. I don't know if I'm going to do it in the type of builds I'm doing this Week, but that's I guess that's the kind of the stack I like in this game. The A&M side, I just, gosh, who would ever thought Marcel Reed is $6,400 and have zero interest.

But this side is just a mess for me. But I do have some interest in Craver for the reasons you talked about.

Yeah nor sellers officially matchup proof because he was like three percent last Week and just absolutely nuked um and like didn't even like he almost kind of ran bad he didn't get the bonus that he should have he was just sort of I think he was just sort of both of them I can't remember for sure um but yeah that's really all I have interest here is like this sellers maybe a Bennett and then uh just probably honestly just sellers by himself.

There's, it has kind of the similar total as like we've seen with like Florida state, Boston college, or even the game right below us here. But I don't have much interest other than just sellers who gosh, he's, he's just always so volatile, but I'm really starting to trust him now with the jumped on the train a little sooner this year. Yeah. I'm officially on the Lenore sellers train. Um, eight threes, a very, very similar play to Ashton Daniels.

They almost have an identical team totalTeam TotalIn CFB DFS, a team total estimates a college team's points, usually from the game total and point spread.

If your projections already reflect the change, avoid adding another automatic boost.Read the full definition of Team Total favorite in this game. They're on a, they're, they're playing super well. They got to browse offense and he's RB one and QB one. And he's been playing like it. It's kind of taking matters in his own hands when he was getting threatened to benching. He's literally taking matters in his own hands and his own feet. It's hard to ignore, especially with the value elsewhere on the slate. Uh, You guys mentioned A&M. I won't talk too much.

Just Marcel Reed. Obviously, a six-four is enticing. I think there is a serious benching threat here. I know he gets paid. I know that their season is just on the fritz, and it's just how much longer to go with him. I don't know. At some point, Elko's got to worry about himself and what's next, and if Marcel Reed ain't in it, figure out what is. Again, we're talking about $4,000 backup running backs. I think we have some options here. Sellers at a three is underpriced.

I'm just going to say it flat out. He's underpriced. He doesn't need to be matched up. He can be, especially if you're looking for that high upside Bennett Harbor, whoever they're, they're still valuable, but he's just way underpriced at a three. He's the kind of guy, the kind of play game that he plays, but the kind of total he is, he should be in the $9,000. He should be about the same as Ashton Daniels.

Yeah, and ideally we see his ownershipOwnershipOwnership is the percentage of lineups in a contest that include a given player.

The goal is understanding how the field is likely to build, then finding your edge relative to that.Read the full definition of Ownership get squeezed a little bit because of how many cheap quarterbacks there are and because of the names that you see above him and the raw points potential there. So if he gets overlooked, that makes it all the better for some leverageLeverageLeverage is the edge you gain by rostering a play the field is underweight on, compared with how often it ends up in winning lineups. When that play outscores the popular option most lineups chose instead, you gain ground on those lineups, though the rest of your roster still decides where you finish.Look for leverage on players connected to the chalk, like the other side of a popular game or a teammate who can steal the popular player's touches.Read the full definition of Leverage. Alabama, LSU, an SEC game. That means a lot. Alabama number five in the first CFP rankings. And everybody was thrilled about that. Everybody agreed. There's no controversy at all.

And LSU at fourteen looking to get themselves into the top ten. Honestly, at fourteen, they I don't know, they'll probably end up getting sniffs if they win this game for the at large, if nothing else. Anyway, Q and Russell, $7,800 in terms of his talent and what he's done so far this year, it It does seem like he's a little bit underpriced. It is a tough matchup. But who has LSU played? They played Ole Miss, thirty two points.

They played Kentucky, thirty five points given up after that Auburn. I mean, so it comes down to do you trust the defense or is it matchup driven? I I tend to lean into Russell a little bit here, kind of in that same range of sellers with with upside. Running backs, I personally don't want to touch. EJ Corral is questionable. He's probably my favorite real-life running back in this room, and I think I've said that before.

But with the way they distribute the ball to these running backs and the lack of success they've had, I'm not super interested. And in the wide receiver room, there's question marks as well. Is Ryan Coleman-Williams coming back? He is questionable, which is an upgrade from where he's been, obviously. We still get Scott and Brooks as a discount from RCW and they're still going to be on the field. They were on the field when he was healthy, uh, and got viable.

And then Pritchett snap count, uh, is probably also safe. It's just, uh, $7,100 for RCW coming back off of an injury is tough. And it just, I, I just don't know exactly where I want to go quite yet. Uh, and I know that's not great for a DFS breakdown show, but I think, um, There's just question marks about the matchup, question marks about the health. How involved is he going to be? I can't imagine.

Like, is he playing because of how big this game is or is he one hundred percent healthy? On the LSU side, Sam Levitt, another one of those guys could get overlooked because MestaMaker is up there. For two hundred cheaper, you get Daniels. Four hundred cheaper, you get Dan Pierce. Six hundred cheaper, you get Weigman, who we'll talk about. But he just I mean, just look at his DraftKings game log. Only one game under twenty the entire season.

And I'm not like I'm not super scared of this matchup against Alabama. Speaking of overlooked, Dylan Jones kind of in the same same scenario with Hawkins and Roberts and then some of these value running backs. Dylan Jones has twenty three or more touches in three straight, including eighteen targets across those games coming off a bye. These guys are rested. And then Jackson Harris, obviously the big name in the wide receiver because of the monster game he just had. Honestly, two monster games.

It just happens to be the second one was even bigger than the first. Trades Green came back and his workload and usage seemed to go right back to where it was. But he's not priced like it. He's not priced like he's hasn't. He's priced like he's still injured, honestly. And then, you know, the dark horse here for me is Winston Watkins because he's still on the field a ton.

And he's just being overlooked by Harrison Green because of Harris's recent games and trade as Green's price. So if you're looking for like a pivot or an in-between guy, Winston Watkins might be that guy. Alabama has given up a big game to a wide receiver in a lot of games this year. There hasn't been any sort of positional correlationCorrelationCorrelation describes how two players' fantasy scores move together. Positively correlated players tend to have big games at the same time, usually because one player's success directly adds points for the other.When you build a tournament lineup, ask which of your players need the same thing to happen. The more of them that do, the higher your lineup's ceiling.Read the full definition of Correlation, but it has seemed to be wide receiver one a lot. Anthony Evans, Marko Craver, Deuce Robinson, Mike Mathews.

So does that push you to Jackson Harris or do you, I mean, trade as green could be wide receiver one. I wouldn't argue with you. Kenny, how are we looking at this one? Alabama LSU. To be completely honest, I think this game is going extremely overlooked. I think that this game is another one that could nuke and it's not going to have near the ownershipOwnershipOwnership is the percentage of lineups in a contest that include a given player. Projected ownership is an estimate made before lock; actual ownership is posted once the contest locks.Ownership isn't something to avoid; it's something to build around. The goal is understanding how the field is likely to build, then finding your edge relative to that.Read the full definition of Ownership of the other two that I kind of have the same feeling about.

I think the biggest thing with this is like the Alabama side, it's just the unknown with the wide receiver injury room, and they're all kind of priced up.

Obviously, the Alabama running backs are kind of off just because it's hard to – gather that rotation was was ryan Coleman Williams was his a concussion do you remember I can't remember what his injury was off the top of my head so so targeting right yeah so I guess I'm hoping like if he is back it would be a situation where it's good to go I'm not fully I don't necessarily think he's back and the way I'm kind of playing it if Ryan Coleman Williams is back.

My favorite play from Alabama is Lotzier Brooks. Um, if he is not back, I still like Brooks, but also really like Scott. And I love, like, I don't think I'll play an Alabama player without an LSU guy. And I love game stackingGame StackIn college football, a game stack usually combines a quarterback, his pass catchers and one or more players from the opposing offense.Target games where the spread is close as well as the total high. A high total with a lopsided spread can turn into a blowout where only one side keeps scoring.Read the full definition of Game Stack this. I think it's a super unique and sneaky way to get it done. And obviously we have a ton of value.

It's easy to get to, um, the lsu side honestly I'm kind of off levitt like if I had to pick like one guy that I don't really like from lsu I he's still obviously solid um but

I almost kind of prefer like a dylan jones this Week I'm I've been like if you look at it like obviously you talked about his game logs if you throw two touchdowns on any of those last two games um or three games he's like thirty five points at $8,000 like I'll I don't have a problem with that at all at $8,000 um I think I and really him and gosh it'll be I don't know if lsu is going to get much ownership they will but they're definitely not going to be the most owned team on the slateSlateA slate in DFS is the set of games, races, fights or tournament rounds covered by a contest.

Do not assume two sites offer identical slates just because both call them the main slate.Read the full definition of Slate um and then the receiver room like even with trade as back Jackson Harris had fourteen targets I don't like wide receivers are kind of generally cheap on the slate.

And I think that's the Jeremiah Smith effect kind of. But Jackson Harris, $6,900. Like, is he going to just keep nuking and going overlooked? Because, like, I'm still I've been all over Jackson Harris. He hasn't gotten ownership like he should. This Week, I mean, $6,900. I don't think the fieldThe FieldThe field is everyone else entered in a contest, the group of lineups you are competing against.Before you build, picture the typical lineup in your contest. Then decide on purpose where you'll match it and where you'll step away from it.Read the full definition of The Field is going to get there as much as they should. Like he's I mean, he should be an $1,000 wide receiver, in my opinion.

So I love Jackson Harris, love trade as green. And then, I mean, Watkins is like you talked about could be the overlooked guy. But overall, this is like.

I'm probably gonna in my bills have a couple just game stacks of this game like they're both coming off buys as well like this game is like should have some anticipation like big time it's really like so alabama has two losses lsu has one right two no they've each yeah they each have two losses so I mean this is the biggest game in the sec this weekend yeah it's um but yeah this I think this game could nuke like very sneakily And I did look.

It was arthroscopic knee surgery that you had in mid-October, so about three weeks ago. Yeah, I think you'd call this playoff elimination, although Alabama certainly would seem to have a path to get in with three losses considering they're ranked number five. Oh, my gosh, it's a big upset if the fourteenth-ranked LSU beats Alabama as a six-point favorite. No, that's a little joke. Yeah, and then they'll both get at large bids. Whoa, bids. That might be like a little thought into what I feel if they get in.

Yeah, I don't know. I know Kenny thinks that this game could blow up. I agree, but I also think that this game has potential to be like another one. It could either be a seven-team ten, or it could be a thirty-four, thirty-one. You know, just I'm not sure. And I think that there's some nice one offOne-OffIn CFB DFS, a one-off is a player you roster outside a stack, often a running back or a receiver without his quarterback. A quarterback selected without his pass catchers can also function as a standalone play.Before adding a one-off, compare him with an affordable teammate of your existing stack. Decide whether his individual upside is worth passing up that extra scoring connection.Read the full definition of One-Off pieces. I think trade is green. I still want to see what the offense looks like, because before he got hurt, he was just the focal point of everything.

And then when he went down is when Jackson Harris stepped up. So I'm really curious to see now that he's got a second game back a second Week back. Is it going to be kind of like we saw last game or is it going to revert back to where trade is going to? Continue to get back to where he was. So I do see value there.

I do agree though, like for what he is on paper, taking everything out of it, Jackson Harris should be is underpriced and definitely in play for a cash lineupCash GameA cash game is a contest that pays a large share of the field, usually close to half, the same flat prize. Fifty-fifties, double-ups and head-to-heads are the common cash games.Treat cash games as the steady base of your bankroll. Use one safe core across your cash entries on a slate, and save riskier ideas for tournaments.Read the full definition of Cash Game. Also totally agree on Dylan Jones. He's going to be a very low-ownedLeverageLeverage is the edge you gain by rostering a play the field is underweight on, compared with how often it ends up in winning lineups. When that play outscores the popular option most lineups chose instead, you gain ground on those lineups, though the rest of your roster still decides where you finish.Look for leverage on players connected to the chalk, like the other side of a popular game or a teammate who can steal the popular player's touches.Read the full definition of Leverage running back, but his volume is the guy we look for. I just think in general on a slate like this when you have a bunch of backup running backs, go with the volume that you know, and Dylan Jones is just that.

There's enough value everywhere that you can kind of play who you want. It just matters how you play them and who you play them with. It's always the question that we ask is how you play the guys you want and who you play them with, not necessarily what guys you play. Because you can get to anywhere you want to on the slate. Levitt, if LSU wins and Levitt plays well, he's going to be right back in the Heisman conversation. Just look out for that.

He's got a path to get right back there, especially with Tony out. So really good game. I know Kenny loves this game for DFS. I totally see it. I'm going to play some trade-ins for sure. He might make my cash. I'm going to try to play some Dylan Jones in there as well. We'll see if I get more than that. Jackson Harris for sure as well, too. I don't know if I'm going to get much further into that, though, for this game.

Yeah, certainly implications in real-life football. Definitely some potential for DFS as well. Speaking of DFS potential, big boy total in this next game, Cincinnati at Houston. Cincinnati is a big road dog, but still projected to put up points. And if they're going to be chucking that pigskin, JC French is certainly in play at sub $7,000 cold tab. What did we call him? I already forgot the something other way night of the big twelve.

And then, you know, looking at like this running back room specifically, Jabron Payne has been back, but we still saw what cold tab can do, even with Jabron Payne back. So $7,800. It just it's again. Do you just play Dylan Jones? I mean, there's there's so there's questions you have to ask yourself in terms of the bang for your buck here with these more expensive guys. I certainly think he's still viable, certainly has the upside.

And then in the wide receiver room, it's still JV Gibson getting, you know, a significant target shareTarget ShareIn college football, target share is the same percentage of team targets, but it is often far more concentrated: many offenses send a third or more of their throws to one receiver or tight end.Judge target share over the last three or four games, not the full season, especially after a trade, an injury or a quarterback change. The most recent role is the one you are paying for.Read the full definition of Target Share. You know, the rest of the guys are just cheap, though. And we can certainly see any one of them spike, especially in this sort of game environment. And then on the Houston side, I don't know what you need to say about Conner Weigman. $8,600. In terms of this slateSlateA slate in DFS is the set of games, races, fights or tournament rounds covered by a contest. It determines which events your player selections can come from and which performances count toward your score.Before building, open the contest details and check the included events, scoring period and lock rules. Do not assume two sites offer identical slates just because both call them the main slate.Read the full definition of Slate, it is probably underpriced a little bit.

And then you have Makai Hughes and Rashawn Sanford still splitting. But, you know, Makai Hughes might get the lean here. I'll let you guys break that down. But then Amari Thomas, Patrick Overmeyer, Trent Walker, and even Kobe Young you can keep your eye on a little bit. But Thomas, once again, priced up like the alpha he is. Overmeyer, probably that more of a cash play. And then, you know, Walker and Kobe Young, the cheaper range.

You just got to make a decision on which one you want it to be. Ian, when you're looking at this many points, you're usually talking any format is viable. Oh, yeah, definitely. Bergman's a guy that you could single, you can double. Overmeyer and Thomas are just studs, pure studs, one-offOne-OffIn CFB DFS, a one-off is a player you roster outside a stack, often a running back or a receiver without his quarterback. A quarterback selected without his pass catchers can also function as a standalone play.Before adding a one-off, compare him with an affordable teammate of your existing stack. Decide whether his individual upside is worth passing up that extra scoring connection.Read the full definition of One-Off guys. If you have salary for Thomas, he's a great play. If you want to go mid-range with Overmeyer and go safe with the tight end, he's a great play.

I'd like to see if Hughes is the guy. Again, they pay him more, and he's been playing better. But, you know, definitely one-off plays. In the receiver room, Weigman, I'm going to play Weigman. I'm going to try to double with those guys. Maybe you go with the combinations. If you play a couple lineups with Thomas with Young or Thomas with Walker, Overmeyer, he'll mix and match a little bit, not just go the Weigman-Thomas-Overmeyer route.

On the other side, Tab, like you said, at his salary, there's other guys there that I'd probably just rather go to as a ten-point dog. But French and Gibson are interesting to me. When you compare them as a quarterback-receiver combo... And look at their salary. There's a lot of guys that you can compare to and make pivots off of. So maybe it's not a one V one pivot, but maybe it's a quarterback receiver pivot that you make. Say this guy stack with this guy.

Do I want him with him? It could be something with the Kansas Staten guys or any of the guys that we talked about previously. Maybe you want French and Gibson as that just that pivot. So it's a kind of a package deal with the quarterback receiver pivot. I do think they're interesting in play. I wouldn't mind playing Gibson one-off if you have that salary spot, because I think he's been a target hog. I don't see that changing.

But that combo is very interesting to me to try to get involved with, not necessarily playing back with Houston, but it could game stackGame StackIn college football, a game stack usually combines a quarterback, his pass catchers and one or more players from the opposing offense.Target games where the spread is close as well as the total high. A high total with a lopsided spread can turn into a blowout where only one side keeps scoring.Read the full definition of Game Stack back with Houston. Another interesting game that we have. Yeah, I mean, Houston, big point total here. Wigman... He's probably got the highest highest raw point projectionProjectionsDFS projections estimate a player's fantasy points for an upcoming slate using expected opportunities, performance and the contest's scoring rules. They describe an expected result, not a guaranteed score.Check the projection's update time and assumed role before using it. If news is already included, adjusting again for that same news can double-count its effect.Read the full definition of Projections for a quarterback on the slate. And I think that's kind of what I'm going to do. I'm not really interested in these running backs. Hughes did kind of separate from Sanford last game.

I don't know how sticky that is. If I was doing one fifty, I'd probably play some Hughes. But for me, it's just weak men. And then these pass catchers. So I've been kind of trying to find like a little bit of an edge here. And I think that I'm going to go with like Patrick Overmeyer being my favorite one. So last Week we saw a tight end go for over a hundred yards against Cincinnati.

When they played Arizona, Tyler Powell went for four catches, fifty yards and one. Garrett Oakley had seven catches for eighty yards. Against West Virginia, I can't remember the tight end's name, he had like four catches for fifty, a different tight end caught a touchdown for West Virginia. Terrence Carter didn't have a good game, but I think if I'm like trying to make a decision, I think that's some information that I can use to kind of separate these guys.

So for me, I love Overmyer here at $5,400. I really like Amari Thomas as well. It's just more of a salary thing. Not that it's hard to get to by any means, but if I'm trying to make a preference, then these other two guys are going to be thorns in the side of these top two because they're totally viable. We've seen Kobe Young make some explosive plays. Trent Walker gotten his fair share of targets in games.

Any of these guys are great, but for me, I think I'm just going to take my chances with Obermeyer and kind of fade the rest and hope it doesn't completely come to bite me I mean this Houston total is huge so I've definitely got to get something here Cincinnati side French I might have some might make a game stack with French and a jb gibson I really like jb gibson this Week honestly he's he was out there every single play last Week even in that game environment where they were losing by his touchdowns at half he played the entire game And I mean, the starters generally played the entire game, but he's out there all the time.

And I think he's a super fair price here. We haven't really seen a ceiling from him, but it wouldn't shock me if he dropped thirty points out of nowhere. Yeah, and then cold tab, gosh dang it. He's been so good, but the volume is just not there. I don't want to pay seven to a hundred dollars for less than fifteen touches.

Granted, he could have a hundred and fifty scrimmage yards and two touchdowns with those, but I think I'm going to just go with the JV Gibson, maybe some French. And the Gibson, of course, would probably be in a Houston build.

And as I went along this Week, I think I'm just going to correlateCorrelationCorrelation describes how two players' fantasy scores move together. Positively correlated players tend to have big games at the same time, usually because one player's success directly adds points for the other.When you build a tournament lineup, ask which of your players need the same thing to happen. The more of them that do, the higher your lineup's ceiling.Read the full definition of Correlation more and more because there's just so much value in every game that I think it's important to like correlate your value as much as you can and just hope that the whole thing goes that way. But yeah, overall, super great game. I'm guessing it's the highest. Well, no, Oklahoma Staten, Kansas Staten. So this is probably the second highest total on the slate. But regardless, over sixty points is awesome.

Yeah, a couple of things to add. I did some quick math while you guys were talking. Colt tab over the last three games, nine point three yards of carry. And two of those games were Utah and Texas Tech. So it's not like we're talking bottom of the barrel. Big twelve. It's still I mean, Texas Tech isn't the same as they used to be. Utah, I would consider still pretty good. So he's getting it done on limited touches against solid teams.

And then the other thing that you said that stuck out right there at the end. Again, another thing the big guy used to preach. Pick your narrative. He wanted his lines to be at the top or he was losing everything. He didn't want to just like metal and get with the field on everybody. It's like figure out what your process is, what your script for these games is going to be. Find your correlations and ride it and ride it hard. So.

This is a great slate to do it because there are so many different directions you can go. And we've already talked about some games, Ian, you bring it up in a few games already too, that it could be a sixty point team totalTeam TotalIn CFB DFS, a team total estimates a college team's points, usually from the game total and point spread. It describes team scoring expectations, not how much production the starters will accumulate.Recheck team totals after major news, then ask which players actually benefit. If your projections already reflect the change, avoid adding another automatic boost.Read the full definition of Team Total or game total. It could end up being a thirty point game total. So pick your lane. I mean, you can go full speed. If you're cool, min cashingMin-CashA min-cash is the smallest prize in a contest, earned by finishing just inside the paid places. In tournaments it is usually a small multiple of the entry fee.Do not judge a tournament slate by how many lineups min-cashed. Track your top finishes, since that is where tournament profit actually comes from.Read the full definition of Min-Cash with half your lineups, fine. You know, whatever.

But if you want to win it all, it's fine. Find your Find your script, find your narrative, and run with it. Oregon at Ohio Staten. Ohio Staten a touchdown favorite at home. Dylan Raiola back at the helm for the Ducks. I don't want to talk about him much. I'll let you guys do the talking on Dylan Raiola. Same with these running backs. The one thing I do want to touch on with the running backs is that Jordan Davison is out.

So that just opens up things for these guys. And then in the wide receiver room, We're getting Jeremiah McCullen back in all likelihood. He was their top receiver before he got hurt. And now with Messiah Hampton being out, creates opportunity for, like I said, what was previously their best producing receiver. And he's in the $5,000. So he's just, I mean, he's cheaper than DeCorean and Evan Stewart. Very much more affordable. Obviously with Jamari Johnson there at $4,000, he's going to catch eyes first.

And then on the Ohio Staten side, I mean, the obvious is still there. Julian Sands out, Luke Fahey at the helm. Jacoby Jackson out. Bo Jackson should be RB one. One thing with this, obviously with this Ohio state team is they have the best wide receiver in maybe of all time in college football. And he still got his, even with Fahey at the helm against USC. So $9,500, I think still a fair price for Jeremiah Smith.

And like we've talked about all slate long affordable on this slate, Ian, but This game just feels gross to me. I honestly don't mind the under in this game. But for DFS purposes, what are you looking at here? Not much. It's not even Jeremiah Smith. It's Bo Jackson to me and only Bo Jackson. They really did an uptick in his rushing last Week. Obviously, they lost, but Smith had ten catches for eighty yards. I just don't know what the...

He's going to have to make a lot of things happen on his own. Not that he can't. Of course he can. I don't know how much he can help him out, though, besides getting the ten catches. The little floor is there, but it... His salary is way too – he has to hit the ceilingCeilingCeiling is the high end of a player's or lineup's realistic range of fantasy scores.

Then check whether those conditions help or hurt the other players in your lineup.Read the full definition of Ceiling game. And I don't know if it's there.

Imagine talking about this game as, like, not even on the top five games of the Week at the beginning of the year, right? Bo Jackson, for me, really hit. I wish – You know, with Davidson out, he would be a guy up. But I'm going to let Kenny talk about one of his guys from that one. I don't have any interest in Raiola. I don't want to talk about him. Receivers are priced up a little bit too much for Oregon.

Bo Jackson really it for me in this game. And he's a borderline cash type play. He's pretty affordable. Decent options around him. I think he will touch the ball twenty five times. Can't believe you guys don't want to talk about the GPPGPP (Guaranteed Prize Pool)A GPP is a tournament whose prize pool is guaranteed to pay out in full even if the contest does not fill. Payouts are steep: a small group at the top wins most of the money.Before you enter a tournament lineup, ask how it finishes first, not just how it cashes. If you cannot name that scenario, rebuild it.Read the full definition of GPP winning quarterback from last Week's slate. Okay. He's not in Nebraska anymore. Settle down. I don't have any interest either.

I just thought, I mean, just to kind of touch on last Week, the GPP winner, I believe, I don't know if it was the final lineup, but it was a Raiola and Morstack and then a Hank Brown and Bonamy. It was like one of the lowest. I mean, that was crazy. Yeah. Iowa doubles. Who would ever thought anyways, you, you would have thought all year. Yeah. I mean, I played him. I just didn't get him in the right combo. So yeah, this game sucks for DFS.

I guess so the Oregon side Deer Hill did also leave last Week's game and didn't come back. He's completely off the report. He's not a he's not a workhorse type. He's never going to have a workhorse type role. Brandon Smith last Week, eight carries, eight yards, four catches for fifty yards. He also had a touchdown. I wish that this was like this game was on the night slate with less games because I would have some interest in Brandon Smith, but.

I really don't, just with all the other great spots, I don't think I need to get to him. The receiver room is just too muddled for me now. I will say, I mean, USC managed to move the ball, so it wouldn't shock me if Oregon did something here. I mean, nothing would shock me with Oregon anymore. But I yeah, for me, I'm pretty much out the Ohio Staten side. I yeah, I just would reiterate what Ian said. I love Bo Jackson this Week.

Last Week, Ohio Staten ran the ball forty times in a trailing game scriptGame ScriptGame script is how a game's score and time remaining influence its pace, play choices and player opportunities. In football, teams protecting a lead often run more, while teams chasing a deficit often pass more.Before locking a lineup, ask who keeps playing if your expected script reverses. Check passing-down roles and backup rotations instead of assuming a team's leading rusher handles every situation.Read the full definition of Game Script. I think that's what they want to try to do. If they can play from ahead here, coming off a loss, I think Bo Jackson in a really great spot. I mean, West even had thirteen carries last Week. I don't have any interest in him, but I think that that's what they're going to try to do, why they have a quarterback in. And then, yeah, Jeremiah Smith, too expensive.

Even if Enos is out, I think Ohio State's going to want to run the ball here. And I think that you can do that against Oregon. I didn't look at the stats last Week, but I know Aiden Chiles obviously tore some on the ground. The running backs weren't there. But I think that Oregon can be got on the ground. So, yeah, that's a terrible game, but I guess there's some words about it.

Yeah, and Like you said, at the beginning of the season, this is probably a Battle for the number one seed in the CFP on paper. So it's oh how the turntables will say. Sticking with the Big Ten, Penn Staten at Washington, a few notable things from this game in the availability report. Obviously, seeing Rocco Beck at sub-$6,000, more cheap running backs. It's just a three time zone travel against just a sloggy type Washington team.

Um, so prices price is really the driving factor here. If there's any interest, uh, one thing, Kobe Howard questionable on the report. Um, so what does that mean as we get closer to game time? Well, I mean, that's obviously something we'll monitor because he was a complete monster to start the season. Uh, so we'll, we'll keep an eye on that, but on the Washington side, uh, Kenny, I'll, we'll start with you because they played Nebraska last Week.

So I'm sure you have some thoughts on that. Um, you know, we had both quarterbacks play, uh, Jaden Lamar was back, but nobody in the running back room really did much. And these wide receivers maybe have some upside. Uh, but what do you, I mean, demand Williams is cheap. It's, If he's going to be the guy now, $6,700 is under. We're talking about a guy who was $9,000 at the beginning of the season when he was on the slate.

Yeah, I think I'm in on DeMond Williams this Week. I know he hasn't been great this year, but I guess the way that I really don't want to relive this, but I will I will do this for you guys. So Demond Williams came in, well, I guess, yeah, it would be the last drive. He drove the entire length of the field. They converted a fourth and eighteen when he just chucked it up to Chris Lawson.

He made an incredible catch on the sideline. So we really only got one drive with Demond, if I remember correctly, but it was good. It might have been more than that, but he had one successful drive anyways.

I Chris Lawson really sticks out to me this Week I I demand you could totally play by himself that's fine but he is really emerged and been really good I think he had sixteen targets last Week Roebuck's still like fine um he plays you know more of the slot role but gosh I just think really all I'm going from this game is just a demand and Chris Lawson and I think that that's kind of sneaky pairing damon because he should carry some ownershipOwnershipOwnership is the percentage of lineups in a contest that include a given player. Projected ownership is an estimate made before lock; actual ownership is posted once the contest locks.Ownership isn't something to avoid; it's something to build around. The goal is understanding how the field is likely to build, then finding your edge relative to that.Read the full definition of Ownership he's going to project well um I think Lawson's going to kind of be overlooked as a guy that maybe has a way bigger role than we can project right now um I mean that's a serious target number and he's been trending um

And he's priced up enough to where it's not just to click him in and go so and then yeah penn state I just yeah nothing nothing for the nittany lions uh yeah I got a I know Penn state's defense is kind of garbage. Washington has just been a slog team all year. And I know they're underpriced.

I mean, not underpriced and other price down a little bit and demand, you know, preseason at six, seven in this game would be like a smash, but they feel like, like we've talked about TCU the last couple of weeks has been a team that just like slogs every game down they've been in. And I feel kind of similar with Washington.

They just don't play at a pace and they don't, They have good players, but I have no interest in them or the team that they're playing. Penn State's been awful, and I wish I had more in this game because there's just nothing that stands out to me. There are so many good plays in the price ranges, and nobody's like... Oh, got to get after him. Even DeMond, I feel a lot better with some of the other guys that we mentioned.

He's not that far off from McKenzie or French. I just think there's a lot more higher upside plays for me than this game. Fair. I mean, the total would definitely support that as well. So we can move on to a game that appears to be a little bit better. This is another one of those SEC games I personally think could shoot out in the right script. Vanderbilt at Mississippi Staten. Some fairly cheap prices on the Vanderbilt side. Jared Curtis still in that $6,000 range.

Junior Sherrill, I think it's six, seven is fine because of the production he's had this year. But then you get a discount on everybody else who's going to be on the field. And then on the Mississippi Staten side, are we going to get an A.J. Swan revenge game? He is not on the report, nor is Fluff Bothwell.

And in a game where Mississippi State's favored at home with the revenge factor and a stud running back when the star quarterback's out, it does seem like it lines up for both of those guys. And then obviously Anthony Evans is in a League of his own in terms of the pass catchers for Mississippi Staten. I think there's still touchdown upside with these other guys.

Um but anthony evans is another one of those guys that you can get to because of the affordability of the rest of the slate um but you know I love a good revenge game uh how is how is this one looking for you kenny to round out we have a true late Hammer once again uh very mid to below mid late game Hammer yeah yeah definitely a late Hammer here I guess The Mississippi Staten side. So last Week Swan played the first half.

I think he was like twelve for fifteen passing like wasn't like doing anything otherworldly and then pocket finished the game. I don't know if that was like such a blowout or if it was like poor play or what it whatever is. I kind of think Swan gets the reins this Week. I don't know if he finishes the game, but. I guess let me put it this way. If I know pocket was starting, and probably not even on this slate.

I would have some interest in him just because of his rushing upside. But like I said, I do think Swan stars and that kind of leads me to like fluff. I don't. He hasn't. We haven't seen like huge, huge volume like he got a couple games earlier this year, but he's been fighting that injury. If Mississippi Staten is going to play ahead, it wouldn't surprise me to see fluff get the ball like thirty times here.

I think it's he's not going to Garner a ton of ownershipOwnershipOwnership is the percentage of lineups in a contest that include a given player. Projected ownership is an estimate made before lock; actual ownership is posted once the contest locks.Ownership isn't something to avoid; it's something to build around. The goal is understanding how the field is likely to build, then finding your edge relative to that.Read the full definition of Ownership. I think he's really, really solid. The more I've looked into it, Vanderbilt side for me, I mean, Jared Curtis is fine, but really for me, it's just junior Cheryl. Um, if it was, if I was playing a hundred and fifty lineups, I was playing a bunch of Jared Curtis. I'd probably sprinkle in these cheap guys, but there's really no reason this Week. Um, they're terrible one-offsOne-OffIn CFB DFS, a one-off is a player you roster outside a stack, often a running back or a receiver without his quarterback. A quarterback selected without his pass catchers can also function as a standalone play.Before adding a one-off, compare him with an affordable teammate of your existing stack. Decide whether his individual upside is worth passing up that extra scoring connection.Read the full definition of One-Off.

Um, But, yeah, I think a good late-game Hammer stack, you play Fluff, you play Cheryl, let the fireworks happen. Let those cowbells ring, you know. Yeah, I really like this spot for those guys that you just mentioned. I think Curtis is really in play, and I compare Curtis one-to-one against Amon Williams, and I just prefer Curtis. I think he's in a better game environment. He's basically the same price. That's like the one comparison that I have. DeMond could certainly outscore him.

I just think for the environment that we've been in. Really interesting with both these teams. They're both bottom in the SEC, especially Mississippi Staten without Camario. They've been playing a lot better teams, so now they get to play each other. So does it allow it maybe open up a little bit? So like Curtis has been struggling. Cheryl's been kind of matchup proof this year just because of his volume. But for a guy like Fluff.

Who's obviously been hurt and he was so good when Camario was in and now they've been, you know, having trouble scoring, but it's been against the top of the sec. So maybe now their home favorite, you know, probably, I don't know who's going to play quarterback, but fluff is back and healthy. I love fluff. I love fluff for the spot. He might be my favorite running back playing this spot at seven, one super affordable. Yeah.

Late Hammer spot, favorite, twenty-six point team totalTeam TotalIn CFB DFS, a team total estimates a college team's points, usually from the game total and point spread. It describes team scoring expectations, not how much production the starters will accumulate.Recheck team totals after major news, then ask which players actually benefit. If your projections already reflect the change, avoid adding another automatic boost.Read the full definition of Team Total, and the offense should just go through him. He should get thirty carries. He should throw the ball thirty times. You know, I just think this lines up so great for Fluff if he's still got anything left in the tank. Talk about a nothing game as far as the national landscape. But for DFS, I think it's going to matter. I really think it's going to matter.

And like you said, Kenny, Cheryl, Fluff, really good spots to just kind of come home with. Yeah, and obviously with it being a late game Hammer on an island, you can pivotPivotA pivot in DFS is an alternative player or lineup combination you choose instead of another option. Tournament pivots usually seek comparable scoring upside at lower ownership, meaning fewer competing lineups use them.Before swapping, check what the replacement changes around it: your remaining salary, teammates, opposing players and available later-starting options.Read the full definition of Pivot off of anybody, you know, obviously price considered. But you have options for pivots in the late window. And then, you know, just because it's peaking up, I do want to remind everybody, since we're done with the main slate, that we do cover night slate as well on Saturdays with a full stone.

And I also happen to notice that it's an academy game with a total five points higher than the Gophers in UCLA, which just baffles me this day and age. These academies are learning how to score points, I guess. And also, since we have a couple minutes here, any thoughts on tonight's slate? Tonight being Friday, we have the full stone up for Friday as well.

And I mean, Kenny, your team's on the slate and I'm going to be honest, I did some runs this morning and Nebraska was showing up a decent amount. Yeah. Gosh dang, what a disappointing season. Like it's just, it's just frustrating. Like I just, I hate that I've grown to love this team growing up in Nebraska and stuff. Anyways, I, um, Yeah, I mean, I guess you're kind of looking at it right here like Gilmer and Colandrea.

Gilmer gets a big target, so he's really solid. I guess if you want to get sneaky, gosh, Jamal Rule, he looked like a star to start the season. I don't know if he's going to get enough volume to pay off this tag, but I'm definitely going to take some shots against it. I mean, favorite on the road, again, Nebraska. Vegas has so much respect for the Huskers. I don't know. It's, yeah, interesting.

I guess, you know, for me tonight, I guess my probably favorite spot that I kind of thought was sneaky is running. Like, TCU's had a respectable defense this year. I kind of like this onslaughting in Arizona last Week. TCU allowed two hundred yard receivers to Kansas and we've seen what my cell and now Richardson back was super involved last Week. I think that I kind of like flag panning it for feet of double. So that's that's where I'm looking tonight.

Didn't Mizell almost hit the bonus on one play last Week? That was an insane play. He was about to get sacked and just chucked it. And just a perfect little window that he caught the ball in. It was so close to an interception and then, yeah, ninety-some yard touchdown. I'm bringing up one guy, Scottree Humphrey. New Mexico is really fighting for that at-large bid with Boise Staten at this point, especially with ETSA. CFP implications. Very big, very, very big game for New Mexico.

Now, they're not exactly fast-paced. They're more of a defensive team, as you can tell by the total. But Humphrey's a stud. Humphrey's a really good player. Their offense runs for him. He's a very good player and New Mexico is a very good team and they were definitely in the mix to potentially be in the playoffs. Yeah. And nobody hates their quarterback more than Nevada, right? Kenny, I know you were doing some research on Nevada's quarterback and it's just, Shot after shot after shot.

Yeah, basically last Week, so they have an injury to their starter. Luke Duncan started against San Jose Staten and was fine, and he started against UCLA last Week. So I go to, like, research, like, what happened, and I type in his name on Twitter and, like, just four hateful tweets, like, Luke Duncan, worst quarterback of all time. Go back to UCLA. I've never seen somebody get dogged on so hard. But, yeah, don't play a Nevada quarterback tonight. That's a mess. Oh.

Yeah, but, yeah, and I thought since we have it ready, just a little sneak peek at what the colored stone looks like for Ship It Nation, our community, and a solid slate tonight, some decent contests. Friday night's usually pretty good, and, you know, four or more, you get a core. If there's four games, we have a stone. We have our Slate Station. But any final thoughts on Saturday before we get out of here, guys? Let's have fun watching it, man. It's a great day.

We've been looking forward to this day all year. DFS, real life, and really excited for Saturday. Yeah, same here. Scott, you might go Gophers. Hoping there are fewer undefeated teams at the end of Saturday, but we will. You brought it up, man. Big guy. I'm going to shout out the big guy right now because this, honestly, my relationship with DJ and with James goes back many, many years since we started, since he started in this space.

I don't know, Bill, has it been like five or six seasons now that we've been doing this together when we started out with him? Yeah, it's been a long time. This is the game. I mean, not a long time, but it feels like we've known him forever. You know, this was a game that we always talked about trying to get two together when Florida played Oklahoma. This is the first time they've played each other since our relationship, since our friendship started.

So I'll be thinking about the big guy on this slate and during that game. So I want to shout him out for this Oklahoma-Florida matchup Saturday night. Yeah, honestly, in my opinion, If the best ever do it in the DFS streets from how he played to his results, to how he taught others to play. And that's why every single Week we end with the big guys. Rule number one, college football is fun. Enjoy your process. Enjoy your building. Enjoy the sweat.

Just be thankful for the fact that we have college football to watch on our TVs each and every Saturday and each and every almost weekday right now. But most of all, don't take a single day for granted. We never know which one is going to be our last. Savor every moment. Let's get out to the streets this weekend, everybody and ship them for the big guy.
