Cooler air means college football time is here again!
Scroll down for quick Friday 9-4-15 game advice!
While week 1 normally has many CFB mismatches, that does not mean anything for fantasy college football.
Note, that this is for the Saturday 9/5/15 games. For the 9/3/15 games, check out my other post!
I think the key to finding the best fantasy players in week one is trying to find the best match-ups combined with finding a few gems that you think will be great low value plays. The first few weeks of the season are always tougher, but that also means if you do your research you can hopefully do well in your leagues or contests.
2015 Week 1 – 9-5-15 – Fantasy College Football Picks For DraftKings
| Position | Name | Team | Salary | Stats / Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| QB | Luke Falk | Washington St. | 9600 | A great matchup play here, WSU should score 50 points against Portland State. |
| QB | Maty Mauk | Missouri | 6500 | Another solid matchup play, and a great value, I would hope for 2 TD at least in this one. |
| RB | Jovon Robinson | Auburn | 4100 | A sleeper here, not really sure who will get the majority of the carries, but we like Robinson to get some meaningful carries at least. |
| RB | Jaylen Walton | Mississippi | 6300 | A stud running back against a weak team should be a great week 1 warmup session before SEC defenses put the clamps down. |
| WR | Josh Malone | Tennessee | 3000 | With there main WR suspended for a week, look for Malone to get some playing time. At 3000 you cannot ask a lot. |
| WR | Rashon Ceaser | ULM | 4100 | The best player on a team that will be down big, hopefully a few big pass plays help his numbers. Very good player here. |
| WR | River Cracraft | Washington St. | 7800 | He could have 15 catches in this one. |
| Flex | Dom Williams | Washington St. | 4800 | A great value, who could actually score more points than his teammate River. No brainer at this value. |
| Flex | Francis Owusu | Stanford | 3700 | The game should be competitive so I expect him to snag a few catches throughout the night. |

Hopefully these picks get us all off to a good start in our CFB contests. Another thing to check for in the days before the games is the weather. Pass happy teams do not do well in rain and cross winds.
I will try to post any updates, such as bad weather, injuries, suspensions, etc. before kickoff next week.
9-4-15 DraftKings College Football
Sorry for the late post and lack of spreadsheet, but you need to load up on Baylor vs Smu tonight! Seth Russell at QB, Linwood at RB and a receiver or two from the Bears as well. Even if you have to lose value somewhere else Also I like the Boise St. vs Washington game too.
DraftKings College Football Week 1 Saturday 7PM Late Games Lineup
| Position | Name | Team | Salary | Stats / Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| QB | Cody Kessler | USC | 9300 | One of the best QB in the game. A great matchup here too. I expect a big name. |
| QB | Skylder Howard | WVU | 6800 | One of the better value plays, people forget how much Dana likes to score down in Morgantown. |
| RB | Elijah McGuire | ULL | 8100 | Great running back. Not so great team. I like the matchup this week though. |
| RB | Hosey Williams | Cinn | 4600 | Needed a good value play here, so I hope he won't hose me… |
| WR | D. Robinson | Florida | 6300 | Great matchup here. I also like the Florida QB as an alternative play to Howard. |
| WR | Teldrick Morgan | NM ST | 4100 | Terrible team and they could be down 50 points, but who cares if they are throwing it to Morgan! |
| WR | S Mitchell Jr | USC | 3400 | I like the value here. He might get some points that he would not get against a better team. And I needed to save money. |
| Flex | Larry Rose III | NM ST | 3000 | Can he run the ball against an SEC defense? I don't know either. |
| Flex | Chris Moore | Cinn | 4200 | A solid matchup play here, Moore has the experience to get him some grabs and maybe into the end zone. |
