Quarterback | College Football DFS Picks for Week 6
Kevin Jennings ($6,200) — The new starting quarterback for SMU, Jennings continues to come in underpriced. He broke out last week for 254 yards passing and has at least 38 rushing yards in three of four games where he played significantly. SMU faces Louisville as a 6.5 point underdog in a game with a 56.5 point total. While stacking Jennings remains a challenge due to their wide receiver rotation, he stands out as a salary saver at quarterback.
Garrett Greene ($8,000) — After a turnover filled start to the season, Greene has settled down of late. West Virginia faces Oklahoma State off a bye as a three point underdog in a game with a 64.5 total. Greene possesses excellent mobility with 209 cumulative yards on the ground. He averages 225.5 through the air, but the Oklahoma State secondary has repeatedly been taken advantage of. Greene offers a solid floor/ceiling combination.
Tyler Shough ($7,000) — On the other side of the SMU game, Louisville boasts a 31.5 team total as a near touchdown favorite over the Mustangs. Shough displayed solid mobility against Notre Dame and averages 278.5 passing yards per game on 29.3 attempts. A cheaper dual threat in a solid game environment, Shough deserves consideration in this game.
Eli Holstein ($9,000) — The prime shootout on the Week 6 main slate, Pittsburgh faces North Carolina as a 2.5 point favorite in a game with a 64 total. Pittsburgh ranks sixth in the country in seconds per play, while North Carolina checks in 24th. Holstein currently averages 296 passing yards per game, along with 189 cumulative yards on the ground. He also brings easy stacking partners in Konata Mumpfield, Raphael Williams Jr., and Kenny Johnson.
Running Back | College Football DFS Picks for Week 6
Omarion Hampton ($8,700) — Without Max Johnson, North Carolina has fully embraced the run. In North Carolina’s last game, Hampton handled 29 carries and four targets out of the backfield. North Carolina seems set on giving Hampton a near-every down workload, which reduces his need for efficiency. Still, this game is ripe with shootout potential.
Tawee Walker ($5,100) — . Chez Mellusi left the Badgers due to injuries, leaving Walker and Cade Yacamelli in line for a majority of the carries. Mellusi had 64 touches, while Walker and Yacamelli check in at 41 and 25. Walker should be the favorite for work, but both will likely be involved. This split is exceedingly important with Purdue allowing 6.5 yards per carry and the Badgers entering this game as 13.5 point favorites.
Raheim Sanders ($5,000) — While an eight point underdog, South Carolina continues to take money in betting markets against Ole Miss. In the backfield, Sanders will be back after exiting South Carolina’s last game after one carry. Previously, he had touched the ball 25, 14, and 21 times before the injury.
Isaac Brown ($4,300) — With Donald Chaney doubtful again due to an ankle injury, Brown jumped to the head of a committee in Louisville’s backfield. Against Notre Dame, he handled 13 carries and five targets out of the backfield. While this slate is ripe with value, paying down for Brown could be an interesting pivot.
Bhayshul Tuten ($7,600) — Perhaps a contrarian expensive option, Tuten averages 20.4 touches per game for Virginia Tech. The Hokies are 8.5 point favorites in a game against Stanford with a 49.5 total. Behind this solid workload, Tuten should have a busy day against Stanford.
Wide Receiver | College Football DFS Picks for Week 6
Caullin Lacy ($3,400) — The biggest pricing error on the slate, Lacy immediately stepped into a starting role upon his return from injury. Lacy handled a 91% route share and saw eight targets, trailing only Ja’Corey Brooks. He is the first man into cash lineups on this slate.
Lewis Bond ($4,500) — Boston College faces Virginia as a one point underdog in a game with a 52 total. Virginia remains a shootout team with their 18th ranked pace and defense that allowed 8.1 yards per attempt to opposing signal callers. Bond has a 32% target share, which has equated to 6.6 targets per game.
De’Zhaun Stribling ($6,100) — On the other side of the West Virginia matchup, Oklahoma State faces a Mountaineers’ secondary ranked 131st in pass coverage. Stribling currently averages 8.4 targets and 100.4 yards per game on a full route share. While Brennan Presley and Rashod Owens should also be considered, Stribling middles their price points.
Tre Harris ($8,900) — Harris entered the week questionable, but Ole Miss upgraded him to probably ahead of their tilt against South Carolina. While the Gamecocks have played solid defense, they’re still eight point underdogs in a game with a 54 total. Harris has an absurd 35.9% target share, which he has turned into 160.8 receiving yards per game.
Jabre Barber ($3,000) — Texas A&M enters Week 6 as a two point favorite over Missouri in a game with a 48 total. While the Aggies have a 37% pass rate on the year, there is a legitimate chance that Conner Weigman makes his return and elevates the pass rate. Barber spent the beginning of the year injured, but his route rate jumped to 62% last week and his six targets ranked second on the team. He is worth a mention here at the stone minimum on DraftKings.
