After a quick appetizer to start the college football with Week 0, we hit the true start of the college football season in Week 1 with a full slate of action. Much like last week, the first game for many teams can be a bit tough to navigate as depth charts and rotations still have to work themselves out. Also be wary of late news which can always change a college football slate.

Although there is no star like Caleb Williams up top this week, there are a ton of elite quarterbacks you could look to play. In cash games Joe Milton III and Michael Penix Jr. seem too cheap for their relatively high floors and should be a staple in your lineups.
GPP's should be a nice mix this week as we have both new players and new systems to track. Tanner Mordecai is especially interesting this week because most will see "Wisconsin" and pass over the passing game. However, with Mordecai and new offensive coordinator Phil Longo in town, the Badgers may turn into a high powered offense quickly.

There is never a true sure thing in college football, but the pricing mistakes up top this weekend make a few players on this list a virtual lock in all of your lineups. Blake Corum and Quinshon Judkins are perhaps the best two running backs in all of college football, and both are priced under $7k this week. There are a few other studs at QB/WR you may want to fit in but it will be incredibly difficult to avoid having both of these two in all of your lineups.

The wide receiver position this week is like the quarterback position in that there are a few guys who are likely to see their prices raise as we progress into the season but, there are not the errors as there are with running back. As you can see from this list, we will want to target high volume passing games such as Tennessee, Ohio State, Texas and Washington. As mentioned above, it is still a bit of a mystery, but the Wisconsin wide receiver group may provide some nice value this week in their new system.
