CFB DFS DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey: Week 11 Picks

Who is your favorite player to spend up for in cash games?

headChopper: Nolan James Jr. (FD) / Aiden Flora (DK)
MrTuttle05: Nolan James Jr. (FD) / Aiden Flora (DK)
stlcardinals84: Nolan James Jr. (FD) / Aiden Flora (DK)
Jordan Vanek: Carlos Hernandez (FD) / Aiden Flora (DK)

How do you plan to beat the field of opponents in the tournaments you will be playing? What tactic or strategy will set you apart?

headChopper: On both sites, I’m prioritizing running backs when I spend up, since the top backs are returning some of the best value on the board. I’ll look to save at receiver on DK, where several cheap options are stepping into bigger roles due to injuries, such as Larenzo Fenner with Cincinnati down multiple wideouts. Where I want to separate is the WAKE/SMU game. It has the highest total on the slate (60.5) and just a 1.5-point spread, yet SMU is projected to be one of the lower-owned teams on both sites. This matchup has game stack written all over it. Ultimately, I just want to take advantage of the value and ceiling that all these injuries are opening up across the slate.

MrTuttle05: Overall, I expect my exposure to be more concentrated at the RB position while more spread out at QB and WR. RB chalk this week is largely driven by heavy projected workloads, and those are typically spots I am fine eating chalk. My lineups will look to get different with QBs and WRs who are projecting for lower ownership.

stlcardinals84: I plan to be overweight on all things Miami, as this is a great bounce-back spot after a loss. They are projected to score north of 30 points against Duke. Mark Fletcher is a sneaky strong RB option in a better matchup, and Cooper Barkate’s salary tag hasn’t quite adjusted to match his clear WR1 role with Malachi Toney out. I also like going overweight on the Ohio State passing game combined with being underweight on a likely chalky RB in Bo Jackson.

Jordan Vanek: There are a few ways to beat the field this week, and my preference is to get different at QB and WR. The chalk RBs look great, and while I do like Nate Frazier, there aren’t many RBs projected for lower ownership that I’m particularly excited about. At QB and WR, however, there are several players I think the field is overlooking. The WAKE/SMU game obviously stands out with both QBs in great spots, but I also really like the BAY/BYU matchup. DJ Lagway isn’t the same player you remember from his time at Florida. He’s been incredible over the last month and finally looks fully healthy after dealing with an ankle injury. Then there’s the ASU/UCF game, where the Arizona State RB, Cardae Mack, is projecting to be chalk against a UCF defense that just shut down Caleb Hawkins. That’s one of the chalk RBs I’m comfortable fading, and I’d much rather attack the passing games on both sides. With so much ownership expected to concentrate at RB, I think there are some great opportunities to gain leverage through different QB and WR combinations.
