College Football Week 10 CFB DFS Picks

Top CFB DFS Quarterbacks

PlayerTeamOpp.DK $DK FPPGFD $FD FPPG
Dillon GabrielOUOKST890031.941160029.93
There are two clear top cash QB studs to choose from on the DK slate, Jordan Travis and Dillon Gabriel. The former is usually a safe play, but Gabriel might have the better floor/ceiling combo this week. Oklahoma’s matchup vs OK St is by far the highest total on the early slate and Gabriel should be plenty involved offensively in a tight game for the Sooners. Though he only threw for 171 yards last week, the dual-threat still put up 30 DK with his 3 rush TDs and 64 rush yards. He has at least 23 DK in every game so far with his passing/rushing combo providing a higher DFS floor than most. OK St has one of the worst pass defenses in the Big 12 and Gabriel should anchor cash lineups once again.
Carson BeckUGAMIZZ850023.2980021.37
Even without Brock Bowers last week, Carson Beck threw for 315 yards and 2 TDs while Georgia put up 43 points. The offense and the passing game appear to be just fine. Though Missouri does have an above-average pass defense, it did allow Jayden Daniels and LSU to put up big numbers earlier this season in a shootout. We could see a similar game flow here with Beck and Georgia having to outscore a dangerous Mizzou offense. Beck has shown his 35 DK upside in conference play and can do it again here for GPP lineups.
Jordan McCloudJMUGAST810024.68  
JMU, welcome to the main CFB DFS Saturday slate! This should be a fun matchup vs Georgia State and we have solid plays from both teams. JMU QB Jordan McCloud is very much a cash option with recent consistent play and a favorable matchup. He has 24+ DK in five straight games while averaging nearly 300 passing yards and 3 pass TDs per game with some dual-threat ability added in. The Georgia St pass defense ranks 127th nationally in terms of passing yards allowed per game this year. You might be wary to play McCloud, but he should be a great cash play.
Jaxson DartMISSTA&M780027.351050025.26
Jaxson Dart will surely go overlooked on this slate with a tough matchup against Texas A&M. Still, he can be considered a lower-rostered GPP play for the 30-40 DK upside at his best. Dart is one of the better dual-threat QBs for DFS with 7 rush TDs this season and averaging 40.8 rush yards per game. We’ve seen him explode for two ceiling performances of 40+ DK points in SEC play and he’s averaging 30 DK at home (compared to 21 on the road). Again, this matchup vs A&M is a tough one – so temper expectations. Still, this game actually has one of the higher totals of the slate and Ole Miss is favored.
Darren GraingerGASTJMU700024.3  
Darren Grainger could go overlooked because he plays for Georgia State, but he’s really affordable as a Super-Flex in all formats. James Madison’s defense is statistically the best in college football against the run but shaky against the pass – allowing 277 passing yards per game in conference play (113th in FBS). That could lead to Georgia State throwing more with Grainger coming through based on the matchup and game script. He’s averaging 24 DK per game this season and offers some dual-threat upside as well (448 rush yards and 5 rush TDs over 8 games so far).
Alan BowmanOKSTOU620012.9760013.81
Alan Bowman hasn’t been a flashy DFS play this season, but he could be a solid cash Super-Flex on this slate. We could see OK St trailing for parts of most of this game and throwing more. The OU pass defense has been about average this year but also has allowed some decent games to opposing QBs. Bowman has posted 19-25 DK points in three of five conference games and could easily do the same here. We’ll take that at an affordable price point for cash lineups.

Top CFB DFS Running Backs

PlayerTeamOpp.DK $DK FPPGFD $FD FPPG
Jonathon BrooksUTKSU780024.421000021.56
If you’ve been playing CFB DFS this season, you know Jonathon Brooks should always be considered a top play when Texas is on the slate. He continues to be a weekly stud with 23+ DK in five straight games, offering a safe floor of touches and yards. That shouldn’t stop this week with a tighter matchup vs Kansas State. The Longhorns should lean on Brooks plenty with Quinn Ewers still out. Last week, Brooks saw 20 touches for nearly 140 yards – par for the course for him this year. The K-State rush defense is above average, but it also looked vulnerable against a good rush offense in OK St w/ Ollie Gordon’s 136 yards. Brooks will get the volume as both a rusher and pass-catcher to produce a strong floor like he’s done all year.
Ollie Gordon IIOKSTOU720029.11100027.09
Ollie Gordon has been an absolute beast. He’s now posted 47, 55, and 52 47 DK points in the past three games with total yardage totals of 292, 282, and 284 yards. Gordon also has 130+ total yards and 20+ DK in five straight games since Big 12 play started. With the run he’s on, it’s become very difficult to fade him in any format. Oklahoma’s rush defense has been shaky lately and allowing 164 yards per game vs conference opponents. It just gave up 225 rushing yards and 4 rush TDs to Kansas last week. Gordon should be a top overall RB yet again.
Marcus CarrollGASTJMU700027.7  
If you haven’t paid attention to Georgia State football this year, Marcus Carroll has been a beast. He already has 1,060 rushing yards and 12 rush TDs on the season while averaging 27 DK points per contest. Carroll is getting workhorse volume with 20+ touches in every game while averaging 150 total yards per week. The production is obviously elite. Yet, JMU has the best rush defense in the entire country, allowing just 48.8 rush yards per game. That matchup puts Caroll more into GPP territory because he’s yet to face a defense this good. Even so, Caroll’s large workload could result in another 20+ DK performance.
Jawhar JordanULVT670023.85980021.35
Despite being questionable last week, Jawhar Jordan balled out with 163 rushing yards, 2 TDs, and 31 DK on 21 carries. It was another smash performance for the Louisville RB who now has 30+ DK in four of the last six games and 23 DK in another. The proven ceiling of 150+ total yards and multiple TDs makes him a weekly GPP upside play. The Virginia Tech rush defense is below average this season and has allowed some big games to opposing top RBs like Trey Benson (200 yds, 2 TD), Rasheen Ali (174 yds, 2 TD), and Kyle Monangai (143 yards, 3 TD). It’s likely that Jordan joins the list after this week.
TreVeyon HendersonOSURU650020.74  
TreVeyon Henderson returned from a three-game absence last week and went off for 162 rushing yards, a TD, four catches for 45 yards, and 33 DK. It’s a good sign to see him take on nearly 30 touches in his first game back and be so productive. When he’s gotten the work and been healthy this year, Henderson has performed. He’s averaging 6.7 ypc, has 6 TDs in five games, and 19+ DK in four straight games. With Miyan Williams ruled out for the season, Henderson is locked into a bigger workload now too. Rutgers does have a solid rush defense, but in its two toughest matchups we saw Blake Corum (97 yards & 2 TDs) and Braelon Allen (101 yards & TD) both have success. Henderson is in play for both cash and GPP.
Tawee WalkerOUOKST580014.68780013.10
Tawee Walker returned from a one-game suspension and had a big game last week. He ran for 146 yards and a TD on 23 carries while seeing the lion’s share of touches over Jovantae Barnes and Gavin Sawchuk with Marcus Major sitting out. That’s now 20+ DK in two straight games and three in his last five. The OK St defense is giving up 177.4 rush yards per game in conference play (94th in FBS) and the Sooners’ run game can have success in this matchup. Keep an eye on Walker’s status as he’s a game-time decision after suffering an ankle injury last week. If he’s out, then Sawchuk and Barnes would vault into top value RBs if Major is out again.
Phil MafahCLEMND550012.66570010.61
Clemson RB Will Shipley is in concussion protocol and could be out this week after getting hit hard last game. If he’s out, then Phil Mafah would likely be Clemson’s top back and see much of the volume that Shipley was getting. Mafah had 16 carries for 84 yards and 2 TDs with 24 DK last game after Shipley exited early. Mafah has been productive when given the touches, averaging 6.0 ypc this season with multiple double-digit DFS outings even with Shipley in there. The matchup vs Notre Dame’s rush defense is a tough one, but Mafah can return value based on his workload alone if Shipley sits.
Trevor EtienneUFARK530012.53670010.32
Florida is still splitting backfield touches between Montrell Johnson and Trevor Etienne. Though Johnson is getting more work on a per-game basis, Etienne is still a viable DFS value with how efficient he’s been. He’s averaging 5.9 ypc and has double-digit DK points in five of the last seven games. The price discount on Etienne is more attractive than paying up more for Johnson. The Arkansas defense is allowing 177 rushing yards per game in conference play (93rd in FBS) and there should be enough production for Etienne to return value.

Top CFB DFS Wide Receivers

PlayerTeamOpp.DK $DK FPPGFD $FD FPPG
Marvin Harrison Jr.OSURU890025.45  
Marvin Harrison Jr. continues to be priced way up, but that’s what it takes to roster the best WR in college football. He’s been paying off the expensive price tags lately with at least six catches, 100+ yards, a TD, and 25+ DK in four straight games. He also has 33+ DK in three of the last four. Not much more can be said about Harrison that we haven’t already written. Rutgers has a good pass defense on paper, but it also hasn’t faced a WR as good as Harrison. If Rutgers can keep it close enough, then Harrison could be in for another huge receiving day. If you have the salary, he’s always a good play.
Keon ColemanFSUPITT700019860015.88
Keon Coleman came through big for those who rostered him last week, putting up 25 DK with 2 TDs. Coleman continues to be a boom-or-bust GPP play this season while going back and forth between 25-30 DFS points and single digits. Unfortunately, that off-on trend would suggest a dud this week as we’ve yet to see two straight stud games. Still, Coleman has the upside as the top FSU pass-catcher and he’s locked into more production if Johnny Wilson remains out. The 7k price tag on DK makes him a clear bargain compared to Marvin Harrison Jr.
Luther Burden IIIMIZZUGA690025.32880019.76
People will fade Luther Burden because he’s playing at Georgia, but that makes him an ideal contrarian play in GPP or cash. Mizzou’s top wideout has been a stud pretty much all season with 20+ DK in all but one game. Though he’s slowed down a bit lately, Burden still has the potential and talent to go for 10+ catches, 100+ yards, and multiple TDs in any given game with his role in the offense. This matchup at UGA is tough, but Mizzou likely will be throwing more while trailing and Burden can eat up targets/receptions.
Brennan PresleyOKSTOU590013.92670011.00
Oklahoma State is dealing with a ton of injuries in the receiving corps, so Brennan Presley is locked into touches with a bigger role. He just had a two-TD game last week and now has 20+ DK in three straight with 5 TDs over these past three games. Presley is a top receiving target for Alan Bowman but he’s also getting rush attempts with the offense trying to get the ball in his hands in space as much as possible. Though this is a run-focused offense, Presley should be plenty involved to provide a strong floor/ceiling – especially if OK St is trailing and throwing more.
Drake StoopsOUOKST590013.88770011.38
It’s tough to trust any of the OU receivers week to week, but Drake Stoops offers the safest DFS floor. He’s a lot more important to the Sooners’ passing game now with Andrel Anthony out and is a clear favorite target for Dillon Gabriel. Last week, Stoops had four catches for 76 yards and he had seven grabs for 60 yards and a TD the game before. Nic Anderson and Jalil Farooq are GPP options from this offense, but Stoops is more consistent for cash.
Ladd McConkeyUGAMIZZ580012.0565009.43
With Brock Bowers out last game, Ladd McConkey stepped up to become Carson Beck’s top target. He had six catches for 135 yards and a TD for a 28 DK explosion. This was easily McConkey’s best game of the season, but we can raise expectations moving forward if he’s now Georgia’s leading pass-catcher on a more consistent basis with Bowers sidelined. It also could’ve been just a one-game outburst, though, and it’s a different UGA receiver breaking the slate this week. If you buy into that, then Dominic Lovett is the GPP play after he had 83 yards on four catches last week and 72 yards on nine catches with a TD the game before.
Eugene Wilson IIIUFARK530014.55640012.28
After missing a couple of games, Eugene Wilson has been a strong play in recent weeks. He just went for 11 catches, 75 yards, a TD, and 24 DK last week and now has 15-25 DK in three straight games. The true freshman has emerged as a legit favorite target for Graham Mertz in the Florida offense. It’s essentially Wilson and Ricky Pearsall as the consistent producers in that receiving corps. Arkansas’ pass defense doesn’t present a tough matchup and Wilson can come through again with his current form. The DK price is very affordable for cash.
Ainias SmithTA&MMISS510013.56720010.75
Ainias Smith just had one of his best games of the season, posting six catches for 118 yards and a TD with 26 DK points. Before that, though, Smith had been trending up as one of Max Johnson’s favorite targets. He has at least 12 DK in five of the last six games and is even out-performing Evan Stewart at times. The DK price tag is very cheap for the 15-20 DFS points in a PPR setting. This game vs Ole Miss has sneaky shootout potential and the Rebels have struggled against some opposing top wideouts this year. You could do a lot worse in cash than Smith.
Phillip BrooksKSUUT490013.65700011.81
Weirdly enough, Phillip Brooks is at his lowest DK price all season and it comes after one of his best games. Brooks had five catches, 83 yards, a TD, and 19 DK last week after a few duds beforehand. The Texas defense presents a tough matchup here, but the Longhorns are much better against the run than the pass. In conference play, Texas is allowing 260 passing yards per game (94th in FBS) while shutting down opposing run games. This could force Kansas State to throw more, especially if it’s trailing. Brooks and tight end Ben Sinnott are both decent values if they get 5-6 catches apiece.
Elijah SarrattJMUGAST480016.05  
We have a few cheap JMU receivers to consider on the DK slate. Reggie Brown is mispriced at 5k is a definite option to break the slate with 27 and 36 DK in the past two games. Elijah Sarratt is also way underpriced with 30, 14, 24, and 20 DK in the past four games. He’s been a bit more consistent than Brown, but both are honestly too cheap and you can make the case for either. Sarratt may be a bit safer for cash while Brown has more GPP upside. Both should have big games against a poor Georgia State pass defense that ranks 127th nationally.
Leon Johnson IIIOKSTOU450022.9500017.40
Leon Johnson exploded last week with five catches for 149 yards and 22 DK. He had yet to see a target before last game and was actually a prime redshirt candidate. However, OK State’s slew of injuries in the WR corps has forced Johnson onto the field. By default, assuming he plays this week, he might be one of Alan Bowman’s top targets once again. Rashod Owens is still a solid value as well in the OK State passing game. Johnson is a wild card, but we just saw his GPP upside last week.
Phoenix SprolesJMUGAST37009.48  
How about another cheap JMU receiver? Phoenix Sproles isn’t nearly as productive as Reggie Brown or Elijah Sarratt in the passing attack, but he’s still involved enough to return value. The speedy, smaller wideout is third target for Jordan McCloud in the offense and has double-digit PPR points in three of the last five games. We’ll take that all day in cash for a sub-4k player. His yards and depth of target aren’t high, but he can rack up receptions against a bad Georgia State pass defense.
