Johnny Giovonni FanDuel College Football

College football is about to start again and 2015 looks to be as exciting as ever.  Starting 9-3-15, FanDuel kicks off their daily fantasy sports CFB contests.  Let’s not waste any time and get right to my lineup!

With just a salary cap of 45,000 you have to make some sacrifices and hope the low value plays for the week pan out.

PositionPlayer NameTeamSalaryComments-Stats
QBBrandon DoughtyW.Kentucky10100He averaged almost 30 FPPG last year and should start good against a average Vandy defense.
RbRalph WebbVanderbilt8900Webb sure isn't running against Ole Miss this week. WKU should not be able to slow him down.
RbA.J. OuelletteOhio U8900AJ should post some good numbers against a below average Idaho team.
WrDavonte NealArizona4500The question with this game is which WR on Arizona will score 2 TD, not just one.
WrNicholas NorrisW.Kentucky4500See the QB. He should have close to 100 yards and a 1 TD, even though he is not the #1 target.
WrKJ MayeMinn5000A good sleeper this week with Minn being behind and throwing much of the game vs TCU.
TeCharles JonesTulane3100Needed a good value play here, and Jones should be the started TE with a chance to at least hang in the game against Duke.
45000

 

I think the key to week 1 is to find the best match-ups and exploit the weaker teams.  The Western Kentucky vs Vandy game is a great example of two average teams that are going against below average defenses.  I could be wrong, but I expect some points to be scored, especially with the over / under of the game in the 60’s.

Another game I like is Arizona vs UTSA. They are favored by around 30 and should make a good showing.

If you do not like my QB from WKU, check out OK. St. vs CMU.  Mason Rudolph from OSU should have a huge game in that one!

Hopefully my college football fantasy picks for this week help you our in your leagues.  Stay tuned for another post!

Hi, my name is Johnny Giovonni. I am in the financial services industry and own my own business on the side. I work too much and golf too little. That is why I helped create this site, so I could at least have the dream of golfing everyday. Also, I am a huge numbers person and have researched many advanced gaming theories and other nerd stuff like the Rule of 72 and Benford's Law. When I am not working I am either golfing, watching sports, or researching statistics for my weekly and daily fantasy picks. I am under full belief there is an enormous advantage to be had with information when picking your lineups every week. I hope to bring that knowledge to this website. I look forward to writing and responding to your comments. Check out some of our course reviews, fantasy sports picks and as always, provide any feedback!
