FanDuel, DraftKings DFS Quarterbacks
Nathan Rourke - Ohio - FanDuel $11,000 / DraftKings $8,900
Akron is actually really good against the pass, ranking 17th in the nation. However, there opposite against the run, ranking 117th of 130 division 1 schools. Rourke is a dual-threat weapon and he’s averaged 12 carries a game on the season. This Ohio team is favored by 20 points and Rourke is by far the safest cash game quarterback. He will cost you a pretty penny.
Marcus Childers - Northern Illinois - FanDuel $7,900 / DraftKings $5,800
Northern Illinois isn’t bad against the pass, but Western Michigan should do most of its damage on the ground and Jon Wassink is very expensive. Childers has played well with Bowers out and his rushing ability gives him a nice floor. He can throw a little bit and Northern Illinois will give him every chance in the world. If I’m not playing Rourke, I’ll take the savings with Childers.
FanDuel, DraftKings DFS Running Backs
LeVante Bellamy - Western Michigan - FanDuel $10,300 / DraftKings $8,700
I like Bellamy to get back over his usual 25 fantasy points in this match-up. He missed 25 fantasy points for the first time in five weeks against Ohio, but a match-up with Northern Illinois is just what the doctor ordered. WMU is an eight-point road favorite against a team that ranks 96th in the country against the run. Bellamy has seen 28+ carries in three of the last four weeks and there are few backs in the nation as tough. Bellamy is a lock for 20+.
O'Shaan Allison - Ohio - FanDuel $8,900 / DraftKings $5,000
This Ohio backfield is tough to figure out, but we almost have to take a shot. Ohio is favored by 20 points and hold the implied total on the slate by far. After it looked like De’Montre Tuggle has the RB1 role, he saw just one carry last week. He took it 53 yards to the house, but it’s still very strange. Allison is now looking like the guy, but it’s still hard to say for sure who will get the bulk of the carries. Most of my ownership is on Allison as he was great last week and scored three times. Tuggle could certainly get 10 carries again and be the play.
FanDuel, DraftKings DFS Wide Receivers
Keith Mixon Jr. - Western Michigan - FanDuel $8,000 / DraftKings $4,800
Mixon Jr, Moore, and Ricci are all pretty even for me. Mixon and Moore have the most upside, but Ricci has the biggest TD share. If I’m choosing one, it’s Keith Mixon Jr. He caught 10 balls last week, but others stole the touchdowns. He should find the end zone this week if targeted another 13 times and his price isn’t crazy on either site.
Tyrice Richie - Northern Illinois - FanDuel $6,800 / DraftKings $4,700
Marcus Childers doesn’t throw the ball much, but he may not have a choice if Northern Illinois is playing from behind. Richie has nine catches over the last two weeks and I think the most talented receiver out of the group. Children’s has targeted him more than anyone and his price doesn’t reflect that. Any of these NIU WR’s are risky, but Richie is my favorite of the bunch with Cole Tucker a close second.
Isiah Cox - Ohio - FanDuel $8,200 / DraftKings $4,800
Cox is the most expensive side receiver on the slate and rightfully so. He’s consistently targeted five-plum times and should find the end zone against a weak Akron defense. I don’t think Cox is a must by any stretch, but MAC wide receivers are always a crapshoot and this slate is no different. Shane Hooks is in play as well and a lot cheaper with a similar upside.
