Draftkings Best College Football DFS Picks 8/30/24

Friday is a smaller DraftKings college football slate with four games on the main card. Let’s breakdown some players at each position that should  be put in your lineup and make it a college football DFS winning day. 

Quarterback 

Jackson Arnold ($9,100)

The only way that Jackson Arnold doesn’t blow past value even at such of an expensive price tag is if the Oklahoma Sooners are up 49-0 at half and some of those touchdowns came on the ground. Oklahoma has made it clear they want to make a statement with success in this game, and that is going to include plenty of passing. This Temple Owls defense is awful and they are going to really struggle to defend here. Arnold is going to have a huge game.. 

Hayden Wolff ($6,100)

Is Western Michigan going to keep this game close? No chance, which means Western Michigan is going to need to do plenty of passing to try and crawl back. Western Michigan didn’t have much competition at quarterback in the fall, and Wolff doesn’t really have to worry about losing this job. Wolff is going to find a way to find the end zone a time or two and he’s going to look impressive here. 

Running Back

Trey Sanders ($5,000)

TCU Horned Frogs running back Cam Cook might be listed as probable but I would expect for them to be careful with him. Trey Sanders has shown some flashes during during fall camp and the coaching staff is very excited for what he has to offer. Sanders is going to get plenty of rushing attempts against a Stanford defense that is going to struggle to hold up. 

Chez Mellusi ($6,900)

Chez Mellusi is the highest priced running back, but he really needs to be almost every lineup, even in GPP’s. He dealt with injuries last year, but when he was on the field, he was special. The Western Michigan Broncos defense was awful last year, and that is going to be the case to start this year also. Mellusi is going to run wild. 

Wide Receiver

Brenen Thompson ($4,500)

Nic Anderson is the top wide receiver for Oklahoma but he is dealing with an injury and he’s not going to be able to go in this game. With Anderson out, others are going to need to step up and that will include Thompson. Last season to close out the year he caught two passes for 83 yards and a touchdown against Arziona. Arnold is going to look for him plenty and is a perfect stack to go with for Oklahoma. 

Elic Ayomanor ($6,500)

By the end of the season, Elic Ayomanor is going to be one of those wide receivers that is going to be costing $8500 or $9000, that’s how good he is. Last season he wasn’t completely healthy and still had a huge season. For Stanford to find success here, Ayomanor is going to need to catch plenty.
