QUARTERBACK

Jake Haener, Fresno State (DK $7,700, FD $8,300) vs. Boise State

Haener's only recent stumble was against Wyoming, but he's been otherwise excellent as the Bulldogs' signal-caller. Boasting an impressive 23:6 TD/INT ratio, he's racked up 14 of them at home with only one interception and averages 336 yards per game when playing at Bulldog Stadium. Boise State is okay against the pass but averages 217 yards per game to opposing quarterbacks, but Haener is arguably the Mountain West's best passer and has a host of playmakers to target. It will be an uphill battle for the Broncos to contain him.

Hendon Hooker, Tennessee (DK $7,500, FD $9,500) @ Kentucky

This SEC matchup should be a shootout of epic proportions. The highlight in Hooker's stat line is that he's only thrown two picks all season and is incredibly accurate with a 68.7 completion rate. His skillset extends to rushing the ball, where he's carried the ball 101 times for 416 yards and four touchdowns. The Wildcats rank 75th in the country in total defense and aren't particularly strong against the run or pass, which only increases the likelihood of a high-scoring affair.

Also consider: Bryce Young, Alabama (DK $9,600, FD $10,500), Brock Purdy, Iowa State (DK $6,600, FD $8,500)

RUNNING BACK

There's not much to say about Brian Robinson (DK $9,200, FD $10,600) tonight against LSU. The Tigers' have struggled against the run all season, and Robinson is guaranteed to post a huge line. The pool at running back is loaded with talent on this slate, but Robinson is worth every penny.

Bijan Robinson, Texas (DK $9,200, FD $10,500) @ Iowa State

If you're looking for a running back who will never let you down, look no further than Robinson, who is destined for a starting job in the NFL at some point. Although Baylor had some success in bottling him up, he's scored a touchdown in all but one game this season, so any potential yardage dips can be made up quickly. Iowa State's defensive front has only allowed an average of 101 rushing yards per game, but Robinson is a singular talent who finds seams where there are none and can get you that extra set of yards after contact. You also have to give some love to Breece Hall (DK $9,000, FD $10,500) on the other end of this matchup.

Blake Corum, Michigan (DK $7,600, FD $9,200) vs. Indiana

The Wolverines still feel the sting of the loss to Michigan State, but Corum should be able to help pound the Hoosiers into submission at home. Corum had one of his worst games of the season against the Spartans, but his ability to find the seams and catch balls out of the backfield are hallmarks of his skill set.  Indiana has a good history of containing rushers this season, but Corum's enhanced ability as a pass-catcher should help give him the upper hand.

Tyler Goodson, Iowa (DK $6,000, FD $8,700) @ Northwestern

To offset some of these high-cost picks, we must mine for value, and Goodson is our first stop. The Wildcats' defense is among the worst in the nation against the run, which is good news for Goodson and the Hawkeyes. Goodson has had his struggles and has only six touchdowns to his credit, but he's generated over 800 yards of total offense as a rusher and pass-catcher. His touchdown drought has contributed to his falling salary, but he's an excellent candidate to reverse his fortunes against a weak defense.

Byron Cardwell, Oregon (DK $3,000, FD $5,400) @ Washington

Don't get me wrong, I am all about Travis Dye (DK $8,900, FD $9,800) and would love to get him involved against the Huskies' porous rush defense if I can afford it. Last week, the Ducks finally gave more love to Cardwell to give Dye some much-needed rest. He ran for 127 yards in the win against Colorado, and since that helped reap one of Oregon's best scoring totals of the season, they'll likely adopt a similar approach.  As I said, we need to go low somewhere, and this is as good of a punt play that we'll find.

Also consider: Ronnie Rivers, Fresno State (DK $6,100, FD $8,200)

WIDE RECEIVER

Khalil Shakir, Boise State (DK $7,300, FD $9,200) @ Fresno State

Shakir is the Broncos' best offensive weapon and their best chance to win due to tremendous struggles in running the ball. The Bulldogs are somewhat impressive against the run but not so strong against the pass, and Shakir's swiftness will keep the Bulldogs' secondary on their toes. When rostering Shakir, you can think about moving Hank Bachmeier (DK $6,800, FD $8,100) into one of the eligible QB slots as a contrarian stack.

Wan'Dale Robinson, Kentucky (DK $6,900, FD $8,500) vs. Tennessee

Kentucky's key to beating the Vols will likely lie through the air, where their defense is far weaker. Chris Rodriguez (DK $6,700, FD $9,100) is a very usable running back on DraftKings, and if he can run well and open up the passing game, Robinson could be in line for a great total. RB/WR stacks aren't particularly common, but there's a great correlation here that can fit in many lineups.

Josh Kelly, Fresno State (DK $5,600, FD $6,200) vs. Boise State

Since we are high on Haener, it only makes sense to stack one of his wideouts at a very palatable salary. This season, Kelly has only two touchdowns and can sometimes be a no-show in the offense, but he's coming off an excellent 107-yard game against San Diego State and could pop off against the Broncos, who rank 124th against the pass. I especially like him if Jalen Cropper's snaps are limited. 

Andrel Anthony, Michigan (DK $4,900, FD $5,500) vs. Indiana

This pick is all about recency, and it could ultimately backfire. Last week, the freshman came out of nowhere against the Spartans and reeled in six catches for 155 yards and two touchdowns. Harbaugh will almost certainly allow him to see more snaps, and Cade McNamara (DK $5,600, FD $6,800) will probably find him again. McNamara is not one of my favorite QBs this week, but if you're reaching down for Anthony, he could be used as a super-contrarian stack.

OREGON STATE @ COLORADO (FANDUEL)

I'm not looking at either quarterback here, although Chance Nolan ($7,700) has a decent chance to rack up some damage against the Rams. B.J. Baylor ($9,000) is probably the top target in the game, although Deshaun Fenwick ($6,300) has wriggled his way into a bit of a timeshare with Baylor and could be a nice budget play. For the Rams, Alex Fontenot ($6,000) has emerged as a better option than Jarek Broussard ($6,300), although both could be viable as contrarian backs.Trevon Bradford ($7,500) is by far the best wideout candidate in the contest.

FLORIDA @ SOUTH CAROLINA (FANDUEL)

It's all about Florida in this one. I think Emory Jones ($10,000) and Anthony Richardson ($10,000) are acceptable but awfully expensive, so I like the idea of downgrading to Dameon Pierce ($7,800) at running back in a game that could get out of hand quickly. There really isn't a Gamecock that I can endorse with much confidence.
