Well, DraftKings has thrown a real curveball this week with the tough pricing! Pricing more than ever will impact where we spend up. It’s no more important than how we handle the quarterback position…
Quarterbacks
Byrum Brown ($9,000), Haynes King ($8,600), Taylen Green ($8,400), Fernando Mendoza ($9,200)
Brown is the entire USF offense, routinely touching 50% of rushing usage this season and combining for 22 total touchdowns. He faces off against Memphis on the road with an implied team total sitting in the mid-30s. While the schedule has been soft recently, this offense is rolling, scoring 48+ points in four straight games. Brown is exactly what you’re looking for out of a DFS QB in that he’s a capable passer who is going to run it double-digit times with upside of 100+ yards.
King struggled for the majority of the game, but he came through when it mattered most. The Yellow Jackets took over in the second half, and King secured his sixth straight game with a rushing touchdown. He won’t have the upside of Brown, but the matchup is peak against Syracuse. It’s not often you see his type of production with just four passing touchdowns, but he’s just that good on the ground.
