Our Saturday night slates for DraftKings and FanDuel are almost identical, but FanDuel is carrying one additional game that we'll cover at the conclusion of the article. First, we'll run down the seven shared games and identify our best DFS selections from those contests.

CFB DFS Saturday Night Slate Overview


We're loading up on Texas Tech tonight, and although I think Texas A&M players are worthy targets, some of them are a little too expensive (especially Marcel Reed). The Miami-FSU matchup will light up the scoreboard as well, and we identified targets on both teams. You can certainly do a little further exploring with these teams, but I've identified my favorite spots for those squads below.

Top CFB DFS Week 6 Saturday Night Picks for DraftKings and FanDuel 

Quarterback

Behren Morton, Texas Tech (DK $7,900, FD $9,700) @ Houston

Although the Cougars are much improved this year, the Red Raiders have easily been the most potent team in the Big 12 on both sides of the ball. Morton suffered a neck injury last week but is off the injury report and expected to play max snap counts. Morton's dual-threat ability will come in handy against the Cougars' defense, which put the team in a big hole against Oregon State before the offense woke up.

Jalon Daniels, Kansas (DK $8,100, FD $10,800) @ UCF

UCF's record is a

Morton suffered a neck injury last week but is off the injury report and expected to play max snap counts.

Jalon Daniels, Kansas (DK $8,100, FD $10,800) @ UCF

UCF's record is a little deceiving, and although I think Kansas will win this game with ease, we may see four full quarters of work from the Jayhawks' veteran signal-caller. He's coming off a massive game where he threw for 445 yards against Cincinnati. His 16:2 TD/INT ratio is excellent, and he could sneak into the Heisman conversation with a few more 400-plus yard passing efforts.

Also consider: Carson Beck, Miami (DK $7,700, FD $9,200) @ Florida State

Running Back

Le'Veon Moss, Texas A&M (DK $8,000, FD $10,200) vs. Mississippi State

I think Moss is worth the salary bump on both sites, as other teams I considered are employing committee approaches that aren't as appealing. Moss had his best game of the season against Auburn last week, where he rushed for 139 yards and a touchdown. While this game won't be a cakewalk, the Aggies will utilize the run game to control time of possession and stay on the field.

Bo Jackson, Ohio State (DK $5,900, FD $6,900) vs. Minnesota

You could easily slide past Jackson if you haven't looked at Ohio State's box scores. Jackson is a great budget selection for both sites when you consider that he's leading the team in rushing yards over CJ Donaldson and James Peoples. He's clearly the No. 2 guy and has hovered around the century mark in every game this season. I anticipate he'll be used heavily against the weaker opponent.

Also consider: Cameron Dickey, Texas Tech (DK $6,300, FD $8,000) @ Houston

Wide Receiver

Reggie Virgil, Texas Tech (DK $5,400, FD $8,000) @ Houston

Let's take Virgil as our stack with Morton. Although Texas Tech's star tight end, Terrance Carter, will play, he may be slowed by his injury. He may also be needed in most blocking schemes against a Houston defense that will try to contain Morton's dual-threat presence. Virgil has been targeted 28 times by Morton over four games.

Duce Robinson, Florida State (DK $4,100, FD $8,400) vs. Miami

Robinson isn't the first name off the board for the Seminoles, but he's proven that he's invaluable as a deep threat for Tommy Castellanos and the rest of the offense. Robinson comes to Florida State after some stellar work with USC last season, and he's only just begun to realize his full potential in Mike Norvell's offense. I am not thrilled with his FanDuel salary, but he can save you some coin in your DraftKings lineups.

Malachi Toney, Miami (DK $4,800, FD $5,900) @ Florida State

I don't want to miss the other half of this game, and I'll go with Carson Beck's safest bet at a discounted salary. He didn't do much against Florida last week, but he's been targeted by Beck 34 times and will definitely be in his quarterback's sights during the intrastate rivalry game.

Also consider: Jordan Dwyer, TCU (DK $5,700, FD $6,400) vs. Colorado

FanDuel DFS Picks: Memphis vs. Tulsa

There is one extra game on the FanDuel slate Saturday featuring Memphis and Tulsa. While both teams have two decent quarterbacks, their salaries on FanDuel are a little high for me, so I'll fade the passers here. Memphis running back Greg Desrosiers ($9,400) is worth a look, but backup Sutton Smith ($7,000) could be used more if the game gets out of hand. Tulsa will need to air it out to be competitive, so Zion Booker ($6,600) comes at a reasonable price and is certainly worthy of consideration.
