Quarterback outlook

Penn State quarterback Rocco Becht talks with reporters during football media day.

Dante Moore is the top quarterback on the board. He threw for 378 yards and three touchdowns in Oregon’s opener against Boise State. Now he faces an Oklahoma State pass defense ranked No. 92. His DraftKings salary is $8,900, and he fits both cash and tournament lineups in college football DFS.

If you want to save money, Avery Johnson draws a Washington State pass defense ranked No. 108. Rocco Becht runs a Penn State offense projected for 37 points and costs $8,000 on DraftKings. Faizon Brandon is a dual-threat option in a Tennessee offense set for 33.5 points, and he costs $11,500 on FanDuel.

In the value tier, Steve Angeli is $6,000 on DraftKings against a California defense ranked No. 124 in scoring. Drake Lindsey gives you a Minnesota offense at just $5,300. These cheaper quarterbacks free up salary for the top skill plays in Week 2.

Running back outlook

Texas Tech Red Raiders running back Cameron Dickey (8) runs with the ball and scores a touchdown against the BYU Cougars during the second half at AT&T Stadium.

Wide receiver Week 2 college football DFS picks

Oregon wide receiver Dakorien Moore carries for a touchdown against the Boise State Broncos.

Oregon supplies the top stacking pieces. Dakorien Moore faces an Oklahoma State secondary ranked No. 92 against the pass. Jeremiah McClellan caught passes for 150 yards and a touchdown in Week 1 and looks like Dante Moore’s top target. McClellan is the better DraftKings value at $5,900.

Ryan Coleman-Williams has a heavy target load against a Kentucky defense ranked No. 102 against the pass. Jeremiah Smith has a high target ceiling even with Ohio State’s lower team total against Texas. Carlos Hernandez draws a Purdue pass defense ranked No. 87. Collin Dixon is $5,500 on DraftKings against a Duke unit ranked No. 80.

The cheap receivers line up against weak pass defenses too. Jalen Jones has the best punt matchup at $6,100 on FanDuel, against an Oregon State group ranked No. 117. Jonathan Bibbs is just $3,400 on DraftKings against a Pittsburgh secondary ranked No. 107.
