College Football DFS Late Slate Breakdown: Week 13

Article Image

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.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We get one last big college football Saturday before we get a smaller conference championship week next week and then Bowl Season. This should be the last late slate of the year, but I’ll still be around in Discord the rest of the year talking CFB and monitoring news and injuries. The slate tonight is somewhat underwhelming, but we’ll dig in and find some good spots to end the year on a high note.

College Football DFS: Top DraftKings Picks for the Week 13 Late Slate

Quarterback

Core Plays

Brennan Armstrong, $6,100

It definitely does not feel great having Armstrong as a core play, but it’s another week where the QB pool is thin, and Armstrong is dirt cheap. He’s continued to be unimpressive as a passer since he returned to the starting lineup, but he’s been used heavily in the run game, with 36 rushing attempts over his last two games. It’s a good matchup for him to have success on the ground, as this UNC rush defense has been shredded over their last four ACC games. A bad Virginia running game piled up 228 rushing yards, Georgia Tech ran wild with 348 rushing yards, including 90 rushing yards by the QB Haynes King, Duke ran for 179 yards, and then Clemson put up 247 rushing yards last week. With the price and matchup, I’ll reluctantly go back to the Armstrong well one more time.

Carson Beck, $9,100
