Play CFB Daily Fantasy Football at DraftStreet, DraftKings, Fanduel or Draftday!
Here are my Draft Street CFB daily rankings for week 6. I also have my own personal rankings for Fanduel. Comments or questions? Hit me up on twitter @TheJourdanCase, I’d be glad to answer them.
QB
1. Marcus Mariota
Colorado’s defense is giving up 300 passing yards per game, not to mention giving up 280 yards and 2 touchdowns to CENTRAL ARKANSAS. Mariota should be able to pick this defense apart, no problem. He’s always worth his price tag.
2. Braxton Miller
Braxton Miller is back and still feels like he has something to prove. Many people didn’t like the fact that Miller got the start over Guiton after his ridiculous performances while Miller was out. Well, Braxton is back and is facing a Northwestern defense that gave up 450 yards to Cal, with a freshman QB nowhere near the caliber of Miller. Look for Braxton to have a huge day.
3. Nathan Scheelhaase
A relative unkown coming in to the season, Scheelhaase has somewhat burst onto the scene. Coming off of a 5 TD performance against Miami (OH), Scheelhaase has the momentum and the offensive weapons to have another huge game against a good Big 10 opponent. Illinois is also a 10 point underdog, could be down late which means Scheelhaase gets to throw, throw, throw.
4. Teddy Bridgewater
The most polished passer in the nation playing against Temple, a team that has lost to Fordham and Idaho. I could stop there and that would be explanation enough. Though I do have fear of a blowout, Charlie Strong knows that Teddy B. is a Heisman candidate and isn’t afraid to help pad his stats.
5. Brett Hundley
Hundley is one of those players who might not be on all sites because his Bruins play on Thursday night, and it’s a shame. Brett is one of my personal favorites to watch when he’s out there slingin’ it around like a typical west coast offense. Hundley and UCLA face off against a Utah team led by Travis Wilson (another one of my favorites) in what should be a shootout.
6. Bryce Petty
Petty leads the nations most prolific offense, granted they haven’t played anybody, into battle against a solid West Virgina defense. Baylor probably won’t score 70 this week, but they could easily hang 42 with 4 TD passes from Hundley. This offense is explosive and fun to watch, and Petty is starting to turn heads in the Heisman race.
7. Tajh Boyd
For anyone who hasn’t watched them play, Clemson is good. Really good. Tajh Boyd has command over this offense and it is explosive. Coming off of an efficient, all around good-QB performance, Tajh is poised and ready to welcome Syracuse to the ACC with a beat down. 250 pass yards and 60 rush yards with 4 total TD’s isn’t out of the question.
8. Zach Mettenberger
1400 yards and 13 TD’s through 5 games and he’s still under priced on almost every site. With two NFL caliber receivers, Mettenberger is gonna continue to sling it. LSU isn’t normally known for its offense, but teams better take note. The combination of Mettenberger, Landry, and Beckham seems to be here to stay and wants to contend for a national championship
9. Blake Bell
The Bell-dozer is finally the starter in Norman! He’s 6’5″ 265 pounds, has a cannon for an arm, and runs a 4.7 40. The Sooners should dominate against a shaky TCU team and Blake Bell could easily steal the show.
10. Jameis Winston
If you’ve had the chance to watch this kid, you know he’s the real deal. Laser arm, good feet, solid decision making, and a stud WR. Jameis will have to take over this week in an ACC battle of Top 25 teams. The only reason I don’t have Winston ranked higher is Maryland’s solid defense, but I won’t be surprised if Winston is a top 3 QB when the week is over.
Value Plays:
Tyler Murphy, Dak Prescott, Tommy Rees, Gary Nova, Treyvone Boykin Tommy Armstrong Jr.
RB
1. Mike Davis
With Connor Shaw out, South Carolina isn’t going to be throwing the ball nearly as much, and with a running back as good as Mike Davis, why would you? Davis is one of the better backs in college football and he’s going up against a porous Kentucky defense giving up 200 yards and 2 TD’s per game on the ground. Mike Davis might be the entire Gamecock offense on Saturday.
2. Lache Seastrunk
In my opinion, the most talented back in the country. This guy is an incredible talent on an explosive offense. This game should get out of hand, but not so bad that the starters sit the second half, meaning more carries for Lache.
3. Zach Zwinak
Zwinak is an underrated talent on an underrated team. He doesn’t have incredible yardage numbers, but he also hasn’t had a ton of carries. He does, however, score a lot of touchdowns and Saturday’s matchup against a pathetic Indiana run defense should only help him out.
4. Todd Gurley
Another guy who is arguably the best back in the NCAA. He is a flat out beast, no way around it. Georgia should have no problem handling Tennessee and Gurley should have no problem putting up a great fantasy stat line.
5. Marion Grice
Definition of a dual threat running back. He’s an explosive runner, catches the ball out of the backfield, and even gets red zone targets. Coming off of a 4 TD performance against a solid USC defense, Grice has the momentum to have another huge game against a not good Notre Dame defense.
6. Byron Marshall
Deanthony Thomas is out, that means its Marshall time. He’s proven that he’s just as fast and explosive as any other back in the country, aside from his backfield counterpart. Oregon should blow Colorado out of the water and Marshall should get plenty of touches down the stretch. Don’t hesitate to play him just because he’s a backup.
7. Bishop Sankey
This guy is on another level right now. 5th in the country in rush yards with 607 yards in just 4 games, one of those games being against Idaho State, where he only carried the ball 4 times. Sankey would be ranked a lot higher, but Stanford has a tough defense and Washington will probably be playing catch up for most of the second half.
8. Ameer Abdullah
Taylor Martinez is out. This leaves Freshman QB Tommy Armstrong to lead the Huskers against a tough Big 10 opponent. Armstrong only threw the ball 15 times against South Dakota State. That could be because it was a blowout, but it also could be because the coaches don’t quite trust him yet. Look for Abdullah to carry most of the weight for this offense and have a big day.
9. Jeremy Hill
This guy is somewhat under priced everywhere except for DraftDay, who never seems to under price anyone. But Hill is a beast and has become the workhorse back in a great LSU offense. Mississippi St. should be able to hold its own in the first half, but after that, look for it to become the Jeremy Hill show.
10. Tyler Gafney
Gafney isn’t the type of back that’s going to get 25-30 carries in a game, but he will get 18-20 and will make the most of them. That being said, this might be the first game this year that Gafney does get more than 20 carries. It should be a dog fight down to the end and I expect Stanford to ride him down to the wire.
11. Jeff Scott
Ole Miss didn’t put up a single point last week against Alabama. They come out this week against Auburn who has given up over 300 yards on the ground over the last two weeks. Ole Miss should handle it’s business against the Tigers and let Jeff Scott get all the garbage time touches.
12. Jordan Hall
Hall is one of 5 running backs with 8 rushing TD’s this year. He came in to this season as part of what was expected to be a committee, and took the job all for himself. The explosive Ohio State offense should put the game out of reach with Hall scoring at least one, if not two or three touchdowns down the strech.
Value Plays: Tony Pierson, Senorise Perry, Trey Edmunds, James Poole, Johnathan Gray
WR
1. Jordan Matthews
Matthews is the best receiver in the country, hands down, and isn’t being priced like it. That might be because his QB isn’t the greatest, but the guy is second in the country in receptions and fourth in receiving yards. His lack of TD’s might concern some, but it’s only a matter of time until he goes off for 3 in a game and this week seems like the perfect time to do it. Vandy is a slight favorite in what should be a high scoring match up against a terrible Missouri pass defense. Matthews will get his.
2. Devante Parker
This guy is always a viable starter as long as Teddy Bridgewater is his QB. Has caught at least one TD in the first four games and will catch one, if not two on Saturday, along with 100+ yards. The best part? His price tag isnt through the roof.
3. Jalen Strong
If you haven’t figured out yet, I like to exploit poor defenses, and Notre Dame is just that. They’re giving up 231 yards per game through the air, not to mention that they’ve already given up 10 passing touchdowns! Strong hasn’t found the end zone a whole lot, but he’s the big, physical receiver that Notre Dame has trouble defending.
4. Allen Robinson
Robinson has gone over 120 yards in 3 out of the first 4 games, and I expect him to do it again. He’s the favorite target in a good offense. He’ll get his share of fantasy points in what looks to be a high scoring game up in Indiana.
5. Jarvis Landry
If you’ve heard commentators or analysts talk about this guy, the first thing they always say is “He’s an NFL receiver.” And they’re exactly right. He’s had 5 big games this year and he’s probably going to have another one against a Mississippi State team who will not be able to keep up with that high powered LSU offense.
6. Antawn Goodley/Tevin Reese
These guys are basically interchangeable. Bryce Petty is becoming one of the better QB’s in the country and he loves having two stud receivers. It’s hard to pick which one is going to have a bigger game, but they’re both good for a solid fantasy outing. It’s hard to go wrong.
7. Sammy Watkins
Possibly the most explosive receiver in the country. This guy is ridiculously fast and has a chance to score every time he touches the ball. Syracuse can’t contain him. Watch for Watkins to have a huge afternoon.
8. Odell Beckham
See: Jarvis Landry
9. Paul Richardson
You’re probably wondering why I have this guy ranked so low. Yes, he does catch a ton of passes and racks up a ton of yards, but his price tag is WAY too high, especially on a place like Draft Street where he’s $5,000 more than the next receiver. He’s probably not going to be on any of my teams, but he will be a good play if you can afford him.
10. Shaq Evans
Shaq is one of my personal favorites, I just like watching Pac-12 football for some reason, but he’s a viable fantasy option every single week. His only flaw is the lack of targets. UCLA has 20 different guys who have caught at least one pass this year and 6 different guys have caught a TD. Having said that, Evans is the deep threat on an explosive offense. He’s a better option in a tournament than a H2H or 50/50, but he’s still a good play.
11. Josh Stewart
Stewart went off last week. He made a statement and should now be the bonafide number 1 receiver on a high scoring offense. K-State has given up at least 24 point in three of its four games, Oklahoma State should double that with this offense and Josh Stewart should be a big part of that.
12. Michael Campanaro
Campanaro is the Wes Welker of college football. Short, stocky white guy who runs great routes and catches pretty much anything near him. Considering Wake Forest will probably be playing from behind, Campanaro should have a pretty good game. He did, however, have a pretty miserable game against NC State last year. Hopefully he comes back strong against them for his Senior season.
13. Darius Joseph
Third in the country in receptions and the guy is only a Sophomore. He’s the real thing and is only going to get better. SMU likes to throw it and Rutgers doesn’t like to defend the pass. Joseph is ready for a breakout game.
14. Jeremy Gallon
My biggest problem with Gallon is Devin Gardner. A lot of people like Gardner, I’m not a fan. He throws too many interceptions and just makes too many stupid decisions. A great wide receiver can only be great if his offense can keep the ball. But, when Michigan can keep the ball and Gardner is playing well, Gallon is a stud and will perform as such.
15. Dres Anderson
And yet another favorite of mine, surprise surprise. Anderson is a stud and gets better with every game. This game against UCLA is going to be a great shootout and I wont be surprised if Dres catches 10 passes and scores 2 TD’s.
Value Plays:
Devin Smith, Kenny Bell, Sean Fitzgerald, Martavis Bryant, Sammie Coates
TE
1. Jace Amaro
The only TE who is really worth a play every single week is Jace Amaro. He’s a freak of nature who will be a stud in the NFL in a few years. He’s one of Mayfield’s favorite targets and he racks up yards after the catch with his size
Other plays:
Eric Ebron, Ted Bosler, Evan Ingram, Nick O’Leary, Dan Vitale, Devin Funchess, Troy Niklas
