Slate Breaker: FD CFB DFS Week 10 (Wed)

Ball State vs Bowling Green

In a slate full of QB ineptitude, Ball State has the one QB who is a must start. QB Kiael Kelly is a must play. Kelly has officially taken over the QB. While he may not be the best pure QB on this slate, his rushing abilities make him a solid fantasy QB. Kelly has produced at least 9 fantasy points with his rushing alone in 3 straight games; which may not seem like great production, but on this limited slate that is elite production. Ball State's offense is not very good, but then again neither are any of the offenses on this slate; however Ball State does have the easiest offense to predict. RB Marquez Cooper and Kelly are almost the entirety of this team's rushing attack making both must starts thanks to their guaranteed usage. The Ball State passing attack is a bit more volatile, but Qian Magwood will likely lead the team in targets. Magwood's production has been lacking though. He only has one game with at least 50 receiving yards this year so he is risky at his high price. Tanner Koziol and Ahmad Edwards are the only other parts of this passing attack that are anything more than a shot in the dark, but both of their floors are right around 1 point so they are no sure thing. On the Bowling green side of the game, I know I want RB Terion Stewart; but beyond that good luck because they are complete gambles. QB Connor Bazelak is the leading passer for this team, but he is ceding redzone work to QB Camden Orth making both huge gambles that have low floors and upside, but I like Orth the most out of the two. WR Odieu Hillare has been the top receiver for Bowling Green, but he has not recorded a catch in either of the team's last two games so he is a fade for me. RB Ta'Ron Keith and TE Harold Fannin Jr. have the most consistent roles in this passing game, but they both do not rack up a lot of yardage so they will need a TD to be worth your while.

Kent State vs Akron

Kent State has the only true must play receiver on this slate. WR Cirshon McCray is the only WR on this entire slate who has shown any semblance of consistency. He has at least 50 yards in each of his last 4 games and any other receiver would be lucky to accomplish that in a single game so get him in your lineup or you will be left behind. Even though McCray is a consistent producer in this passing attack, these Kent State QBs are scary. Tommy Ulatowski and Michael Alaimo are splitting time at the QB position. Alaimo is hard to watch and does not produce much, failing to score more than 6 FD points in 6 straight games. Ulatowski has shown more promise scoring more 10+ FD points in 2 of his last 3 games so he does make a solid dart throw. WR Trell Harris does look like he is ready to return which could really hurt McCray's production, but he should not be ready to assume his position as the team's top receiver right away making McCray a solid play still. Kent State does not have a lot of solid options in the backfield, and there are a few other solid RBs on this slate so the Kent State RBs are fades this week. Things for the Kent State offense are bad, but Akron's offense is somehow worse. RB Lorenzo Lingard is the only guy I would even consider starting. He is involved as both a rusher and receiver, but this offense's ineptitude has prevented him from being a consistent fantasy producer. I cannot endorse the rest of this Akron offense as anything more than a pure gamble.

Slate Breaker: FD CFB DFS Week 5 (Fri)

Quarterbacks Play of the Day: Jack Plummer, Louisville (@ NC St) This Louisville offense is far and away the best unit playing Friday night and Jack Plummer is the man leading the show. He has been a great passer throwing for 280 yards per game and he is underachieving a bit after only scoring 1 TD in two different games. Being the focal point of this offense, Plummer is more likely to have multiple scores in a game that not so he has a great baseline with the potential for a huge game if it ends up being competitive.  Plummer provides more consistency than any other QB on this slate. Brennan Armstrong, North Carolina State (vs Louisville) Armstrong has not been the passer that he was two years ago, but he has been a solid runner. Armstrong has averaged double digit runs in every game and been a serious threat in the redzone rushing for 3 TDs in 4 games. This rushing baseline provides Armstrong with a floor of about 20 points when you add in his mediocre passing. If Armstrong can p...

Freaks of the Week 5/12-5/18

 Freaks of the Week 5/12-5/18 By: Spent Brockman Nolan Arenado, St Louis Cardinals Arenado's first six weeks of the season was emblematic of the Cardinals' horrendous start to the season. Coming into the week the Cardinals were a woeful 13-25 the polar opposite of what the consensus NL Central favorites had envisioned coming into the season. Arenado played a key role in the team's abysmal start sporting a .233 average to go along with just 3 homers and 19 RBIs; numbers like this for a perennial all star looked like the beginning of the end for the 32 year old third baseman. Arenado put any thought about his career being in decline to rest by being the most dominant player in baseball over the past 7 days. Over the series against the Red Sox and Brewers, the slugger hit an eye popping 6 homers while driving 15 runs accompanied by a .414 average. This weeklong dominance was not the result of a couple superb games instead it was the result of continued and utter supremacy as h...

Slate Breaker: FD MLB DFS (3/31)

Top Pitchers Play of the Day: Chris Sale, Braves (@ Phillies) Chris Sale is the obvious name that pops out when looking at Sunday's pitchers. He has the best raw stuff that is second to none so the only real obstacle that stands in front of him is himself. He was a bit inconsistent last year, but his strikeout ability was still on display with a K9 over 11. His strikeouts provide a strong fantasy floor regardless of opponent but the Phillies are a plus matchup since they struck out at the 8th highest rate in the 2023 season. Sale was in strong form over the spring with a K9 over 14 so expect a strong game from Sale as he makes a good first impression with his new team. Kevin Gausman, Blue Jays (@ Rays) Gausman would normally be able to project higher than Chris Sale, but there is a lot of uncertainty surrounding Gausman to open the season. He did not have much of a Spring Training due to shoulder fatigue, but he was able to show his sharpness by striking out 7 over 3 innings on Mon...
