College Football DFS Late Slate Breakdown: Week 12
A top-ranked college football DFS player going back to the Daily Joust and DraftStreet days, Andy Smith (a25smith) is here to walk you through the late Draftkings slate with a game-by-game preview.
There are just a few more night slates on the season as the CFB regular season winds down. This looks like a really interesting slate as there are a plenty of options at RB and WR, and there is one big decision to make with a TE that saw a ton of wildcat QB snaps last week (more on that below). I don’t love the QB options as QB pricing continues to be very aggressive, but the options at RB and WR are strong, so overall I’m expecting a fun, high-scoring slate.
College Football DFS: Top DraftKings Picks for the Week 12 Late Slate
Quarterback
Core Plays
Jayden Daniels, $10,700
DK continues to price QBs very aggressively as players like DJ Uiagalelei, who would have been $7,000 last year are $9,000 this year. Given the QB pricing and the fact that there are no discounts anywhere, it just makes sense to me to jam in the Heisman hopeful, who projects for a ridiculous 43 points, even at a hefty $10,700. I think LSU has fully embraced the Heisman race here for Jayden, so I’m not scared off by this large spread and think LSU lets him get his numbers here. He was somewhat hesitant to run around the goal line last week, but he was still taking off in scrambles as he put up another ridiculous outing. LSU had a similar blowout spot last year against UAB late in the season and he put up 297 passing yards and 111 rushing yards in that contest.
Brady Cook, $7,900
