Another week is here and so are Johnny G’s CFB DraftKings lineups! I want to talk briefly about the importance of diversification in your lineups. I would prefer to play 5 $1 games as opposed to 1 $5 game.
Last week I had some 49th, 53rd, and other close calls to finishing in the money on some 50/50 fantasy plays that were out of 100 competitors. You never know in such a small sample which players will be picked, so it helps to spread it out some in order to best hedge your bets. When you get down to the 50, 20, and 10 entry fields the variances are even greater!
DraftKings Thursday / Friday Week 5 Lineup – 10-1-15
| Position | Name | Team | Salary | Stats / Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| QB | Paxton Lynch | MEM @USF | 9100 | Paxton is a must start this week. Until Memphis can be slowed down and the Thurs / Friday schedule, you almost have to have him or lose out big. |
| QB | Hayden Moore | MIA@ CIN | 7200 | Risky play here, but I do not trust any of the other QB's this week. |
| RB | Tion Green | MIA@ CIN | 4400 | Could get into the endzone on his 10 - 15 touches this week against an average Hurricanes team. |
| RB | Arkeel Newsome | CONN @BYU | 4900 | This game scares me, but Uconn might be able to hang in there. The over under is low, so I think this could be a 20-17 game. Either way, have to find value with the expensive QB's. |
| WR | Devon Blackmon | CONN@ BYU | 4000 | With BYU losing the starting QB, not sure about who the real #1 will be. Blackmon is due for another good game though. |
| WR | Mose Frazier | MEM @USF | 6500 | Memphis should score some points and Frazier should find his way into the end zone. |
| WR | Shaq Washington | MIA@ CIN | 6300 | Quietly becoming a very good WR, Shaq's value will rise again with a good week against the U. |
| FLEX | Trayone Gray | MIA @CIN | 3600 | He could hop in the end zone, or get nothing, but at 3600 he is worth the risk. |
| FLEX | D'Ernest Johnson | MEM@ USF | 3800 | He could get some points this week, but USF will be behind so it should be interesting to see how that changes the game plan. |
| 49800 |
DraftKings CFB 10-3-15 Early Games – 12pm Sat.
| Position | Name | Team | Salary | Stats / Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| QB | Trevone Boykin | UT@ TCU | 9200 | Huge player here. Combo him with Doctson for a huge risk/reward week. However, I do not think there is much risk involved with him. |
| QB | Skyler Howard | WV @OU | 6500 | A great sleeper pick, WVU can score points and at $6500 he could score as many points has the big names. |
| RB | Ke'aun Kinner | KU @ISU | 4900 | The real only decent fantasy player on the Jayhawks, they play an very average ISU team. |
| RB | Zack Langer | HOU@ TLSA | 6100 | He has averaged 28 carries a game! |
| WR | Josh Doctson | UT@ TCU | 7600 | A true star. NFL potential. They should score 50 points this week… again… |
| WR | Shelton Gibson | WV @OU | 4600 | Same as the QB, look to combo this duo. #1 WR potential. |
| WR | Brandon Reilly | NEB @IL | 3700 | Averages over 5 catches and 80 yards a game. At 3700 why not right! |
| FLEX | Chance Allen | HOU @TLSA | 3700 | A chance to score in what should be a high scoring affair. |
| FLEX | KJ Maye | Minnesota | 3700 | Very solid player on an below average offense, he tends to find the endzone. |
| 50000 |
DraftKings CFB 10-3-15 Late Games 7PM Lineup
| Position | Name | Team | Salary | Stats / Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| QB | Brandon Allen | ARK @TENN | 6300 | At 6300 he has a huge upside. There are many average QB in this late game DraftKings contest, so I think he is a good play. |
| QB | Chad Kelly | MISS @UF | 6900 | Kelly is coming off a bad week, but overall he is still a good play. |
| RB | Royce Freeman | ORE @UC | 8100 | A good RB play with Oregon coming off a terrible loss. With just average QB play, they should establish the run early and often. |
| RB | Jeremy McNichols | HAW@ BSU | 8400 | Pure stud. Even if he does not play the whole game. |
| WR | Jamire Jordan | FRES @SDSU | 4200 | An all around star on a terrible team. |
| WR | Drew Morgan | ARK @TENN | 4700 | Huge game last week could have been his coming out party. If he does it again he wont be 4700 any more. |
| WR | Ethan Wolf | ARK@ TENN | 3500 | Needed to save some money here, Wolf is a decent play at 3500. |
| FLEX | Antonio Callaway | MISS@ UF | 3800 | Callaway has the potential to hit some big plays. |
| FLEX | Jasen Oden Jr. | CSU @UTST | 4000 | Not many has heard of him, but I have. So get him in your lineup this week. |
| 49900 |
Hopefully this is the best DraftKings college football lineup of the week! Or at least place in some 50/50 tournaments.
Stay tuned for further NCAA DK fantasy picks from Johnny G! College Fantasy Football is probably the most fun to play.
