FanDuel, DraftKings DFS Quarterbacks
J'Mar Smith - LT - FanDuel $9,900/ DraftKings $7,400
J’Mar Smith has been over 300 yards in two of the last three weeks. He ran the ball 16 times in the only game he failed to eclipse 300. He’s the best QB on this slate and I expect Louisiana Tech to rely on him even more with Marshall solid against the run. Smith is expensive, but my priority on this slate is nailing QB and Smith is my favorite of the bunch.
Isaiah Green - MAR - FanDuel $8,900/ DraftKings $6,700
I do prefer J’Mar Smith, but this game is basically a pick ‘em and Green has been great recently. He’s been over 20 fantasy points in four of the last seven and dipped below 12 just once against a tough Cincinnati defense. Green is going to be throwing plenty with LA Tech being a lot better against the run, and he’s been over 200 yards in three straight. I prefer J’Mar Smith in all formats, but you can play them both and stack these QB’s.
Ryan Agnew - SDSU - FanDuel $8,000/ DraftKings $6,200
Fresno State is extremely bad against the pass, so while we want to avoid this game, I guess I don’t hate a dart throw on Ryan Agnew. He’s struggled in a big way this season, but stat-wise, this is his best match-up to date. I certainly prefer Green and Smith, but a dart throw on Agnew is worth it in a low-dollar tourney.
FanDuel, DraftKings DFS Running Backs
Justin Henderson - LT - FanDuel $9,400/ DraftKings $7,700
This game has a total nearly 20 points higher, so we want as much exposure to it as we can. Justin Henderson is a do-It-all back for LA Tech, catching eight passes over the last two weeks to add on to his historic rushing season. In just eight games, Henderson has rushed for 689 yards and 13 touchdowns. He’s added another 155 and a score through the air. Smith is a good quarterback, but this offense runs through Justin Henderson and he’s not expensive enough to fade in any format.
Brenden Knox - MAR - FanDuel $8,600/ DraftKings $7,000
Knox has been an animal recently, eclipsing 100 yards in three of the last four games. He’s shown his upside with 220 yards and two scores against FAU, and even put up 20 fantasy points against a tougher Rice defense. Knox and Henderson are the top two running backs on the slate and you want exposure to both in cash games. Knox, like Henderson, can get involved through the air as well.
FanDuel, DraftKings DFS Wide Receivers
Armani Levias - MAR - FanDuel $8,200/ DraftKings $5,100
Levias is a target machine, seeing 10+ in back to back weeks. He’s caught 17 passes over just the last two weeks and Isaiah Green is heavily relying on him. Louisiana Tech is a middle of the road team against the pass and I expect Green to throw for over 200 yards with ease. Levias is his clear number one target and will likely break 20 if he can find the coveted end zone.
Adrian Hardy - LT - FanDuel $7,700/ DraftKings $5,900
Hardy is a guy I’m a big fan of and I actually think he sneaks himself into the NFL. He has superb ball-skills and runs some of the cleanest routes you’ll find in the country. He caught nine balls for 104 yards last week against North Texas, and should see double-figure targets once again against a weak Marshall pass defense. J’Mar Smith is our favorite quarterback and Hardy is my favorite guy to pair him with. Cee Jay Powell and Smoke Harris are two other guys I like in tournaments to pair with Smith.
Kobe Smith - SDSU - FanDuel $8,300/ DraftKings $6,500
With Fresno State one of the worst pass defenses in all of the nation, one of these guys is going to find pay dirt. Even with the low total, both teams are projected to score two or three times. Kobe Smith has been extremely consistent this season and is a lock for five-plus catches in this match-up. Smith is pretty expensive, but he’s safe and I’d bet under-owned.
Xavier Gaines - MAR - FanDuel $5,400/ DraftKings $4,500
Gaines has disappointed this season, but they find a way to get him the ball and the upside is always there for a long score. He’s cheap on both sites and you need salary savers on this slate. Gaines is super risky, but this game should be high-scoring and four or five touches presents upside.
