Daily Fantasy College Football - DraftKings CFB DFS Picks for 10/17 (Late Games)

The most deceitful statistic, when it comes to fantasy sports, are easily a teams' record. Going into week 7, lop-sided win-loss records are still not the way that you want to decide which baskets you're putting your hard earned eggs into. Don't let go of a winning strategy or make the famous mistake of getting too comfortable with the same players.

That being said, if you're still trying to find some type of (winning) groove, now is as good of a time as any to do the extra research on one or two matchups with big fantasy players and figure out what makes them play-makers week after week. Teams with newly-injured or suspended players that are stacked with depth at the rotating position make for great sleeper picks, though they will be a small gamble going into a players' first week as a starter.

Since we are now mid-way through the season, teams have enough stats that you can start to draw reasonable conclusions and detect probability based on what they've done the last 6 weeks. You don't have to be a math major to figure out who's gonna row the boat this weekend. Good Luck!

DraftKings CFB Lineup Picks - Fantasy College Football (Week 7 - Late Games)

Alabama Crimson Tide (5-1) @Texas A&M Aggies (5-0)

Other than LSU, Texas A&M is the only team left undefeated in the SEC West. If Alabama loses this game, they are likely losing their shot at the playoffs. Of course, Alabama RB Derrick Henry ($7,300, 24.4 FPPG) will deliver no matter the outcome. However, the likely winner in the match-up, Texas A&M, is stacked with plenty of economical picks that will out-do their previous performances. QB Kyle Allen ($6,900, 27.5 FPPG) will likely stay up to par in the kind of damage he does, and depending on the salary you have available, his passing game will be the big difference maker for both the Aggies and for you. WRs Christian Kirk ($5,900, 25.0 FPPG) and Josh Reynolds ($4,800, 16.5 FPPG) will be holding steady and carrying much of the weighted fantasy scores in this match-up.

 

TCU Horned Frogs (6-0) @Iowa State Cyclones (2-3)

No sign of an upset here. However, TCU's roster, while productive, is quite expensive. The gem in this match-up is that it may be time for sleeper pick WR Kevontae Turpin (4,400, 5.4 FPPG) to wake on up and make some plays.

 

Boston College Eagles (3-3) @Clemson Tigers (5-0)

If we learned one lesson from watching Notre Dame @Clemson in week 4, it's that not even the pouring rain can stop Clemson's run game when you're playing at their house. Take RB Wayne Gallman ($6,200, 19.0 FPPG) and watch all of your fantasy football dreams come true.

 

Florida Gators (6-0) @Louisiana State Tigers (5-0)

Easily the second-most anticipated match-up of week 7, it would be harder to get off the fence if the Gators didn't need to bump their second-string QB up a spot on the depth chart. LSU will likely take the win at home, and QB Brandon Harris ($5,400, 14.4 FPPG) will likely be doing plenty of passing and option-running. WR Travin Dural ($4,100, 9.4 FPPG) will be his best target.

 

Southern California Trojans (3-2) @Notre Dame Fighting Irish (5-1)

The most anticipated game in any football season... whether it be college or NFL, rivalry or Championship. Notre Dame WR Will "Big Play" Fuller ($6,300 22.9 FPPG) will likely do some mind blowing, and former USC/current Notre Dame punt returner and WR Amir Carlisle ($3,300, 5.6 FPPG) is out for blood to prove himself against his former team. USC is having a rocky season and is simply not equipped to beat a team operating at as high of a caliber as Notre Dame, especially not in South Bend. But you can still bank on USC WR JuJu Smith ($7,000, 27.8 FPPG) to deliver, as well. USC QB Cody Kessler ($7,900, 23.2 FPPG) will likely not take the win lightly. Last season, he became the first QB in history to throw five and a half touchdown passes against Notre Dame in one half. However, Notre Dame QB DeShone Kizer ($6,800, 18.3 FPPG) is due for his best game to date in his first year as a starter.

 

Arizona State Sun Devils (4-2) @Utah Utes (5-0)

Utah has this one in the bag. QB Travis Wilson ($6,700, 22.6) will out-perform himself in week 7, and likely make more connections with sleeper pick WR Kenneth Scott ($4,100, 7.6 FPPG) than he has all season.
