FanDuel, DraftKings DFS Captain
All Captain options are safe plays and belong in FLEX if you can't fit them as captain.
Devin Leary - NC State - DK $10,400, FD $14,000
This is a tough game to get a hold of, as Georgia Tech is one of the worst teams in the entire nation against the run. The problem is NC State doesn’t have much of a running game. They also split carries between two or three backs every game. For that reason, it’s hard to trust any of these guys in your captain spot. You can take a shot, but there’s a chance they all see touches. Devin Leary ran the ball a bit more last week and he’s looked decent throwing the ball. By pure default, he’s the top captain option on the board and a must flex.
Zonovan Knight - NC State - DK $3,800, FD $10,500
If I’m going to take a shot on one of these running backs, it’s Zonovan Knight. He’s getting the most consistent carries of these backs and stays in on the goal line. If NC State gives one of these guys 10+ carries, Georgia Tech is bad enough to give up 100 yards and a score. Knight is my favorite of the bunch and he will be in a few of my captain spots. He’s a lock for flex.
Jordan Yates - Georgia Tech - DK $3,000, FD $11,500
We don’t have word yet on who will start, but I’m guessing Jordan Yates takes over for the rest of the season and maintains his redshirt eligibility. Georgia Tech knows what they have with James Graham and it’s not much, so letting Yates get some run is what I expect to happen. He’s obviously risky, but this GT offense is going to put up 21+ points and he should get himself involved in a score or two. He’s more of a runner than a passer and he should eclipse value on pure volume. NC State is a great match-up for QB’s and there’s always a chance Yates finds his groove here.
FanDuel, DraftKings DFS Safe Plays
Jordan Mason - Georgia Tech - DK $10,600, FD $12,500
Georgia Tech was bottled up against Virginia Tech, and nobody could get anything going. It was the first time Jordan Mason was under 10 fantasy points since September. He’ll return to his normal form tonight and he’s one of the safest plays on the board. I don’t even hate him at captain if you think the game stays low-scoring. Mason is guaranteed the volume and this Nc State defensive line isn’t very stout. Mason is a top play in all formats.
Ricky Person and Jordan Houston - NC State - DK $5,800 - $5,000, FD $9,000 - $8,000
All three of these NC State running backs are in play for me. Zonovan Knight typically gets the most work, but these guys are basically 1b and 1c. They use a true RBBC approach and there have been games where Person or Houston gets the bulk of carries. Personally, I think Jordan Houston has the most talent in this backfield and I will have a lot of exposure to him because of that. GT could give up 200 yards on the ground in this game and I have no problem playing two of these running backs in the same lineup.
DraftKings DFS Contrarian Plays
Emeka Emezie - NC State - DK $10,000, FD $13,500
It's contrarian to target Georgia Tech through the air. That's for sure. They're one of the worst teams in the nation against the run, so there's really no reason to try to throw against the pretty solid secondary. With that being said, NC State is an underdog here and they could be forced to throw. Emezie is the number one option and he's targeted by far the most in the red zone. If I'm playing a Wolfpack wideout, it's Emeka Emezie.
