Each week throughout the season and into the postseason I'll share my favorite college player props right here on RotoWire. I opened the 2026 season with a perfect 3-0 week, bringing my win percentage going back to the beginning of 2025 up to 58.4%. This week I'm going to add a Quick Picks section featuring bonus picks without the full analysis.
I find my edge with RotoWire's Picks & Props tool. Multiple prediction factors help decide if we should lean to the over or under on all of the player props available across multiple sportsbooks and DFS sites. I use the tool as a starting point to highlight favorable prop lines that I might otherwise miss and to narrow down my options before doing a deeper dive into trends and matchups.
For 2026, I'm highlighting the best picks you can make on social sweepstakes sportsbook ReBet specifically. Let's dive into the best value picks in Week 2.
QB Drew Mestemaker, Oklahoma State 
Week 1 was a disaster for the new-look Cowboys, as they went to Tulsa as 13.5-point favorites and left with a 14-point loss. The box score stats don't look nearly as bad as the final score, as Mestemaker threw for 241 yards in his Oklahoma State debut, spreading the ball around with four different pass-catchers tallying at least four receptions each.
Turnovers were the issue, as Mestemaker threw two interceptions and lost a fumble. The competition only gets tougher against Oregon, but I'll bet on the quarterback based on pure passing volume. He had 49 pass attempts last week and may have to do the same this week. With Oregon coming in as big favorites, we could get some garbage-time yardage in the second half.
We're getting good value at ReBet, as other sites have the number as low as 216.5, and he has topped this number in all 15 games since he became a regular starter last season, albeit against easier competition at North Texas.
NCAAF Passing Yards Pick: Drew Mestemaker over 210.5 pass yards
RB Austyn Dendy, Bowling Green 
Dendy is coming off an uninspiring 15 carries for 60 yards against Tarleton State in Week 1, which also included a lost fumble. This pick is all about volume. Dendy has played six career games and has averaged over 20 carries per game with at least 60 yards in every game. As long as he gets at least 15 carries, I like our chances here.
Nebraska allowed 32 yards on just nine carries to Duncan Brune in Week 1, and as a team Ohio averaged 4.2 yards per carry against the Cornhuskers. Dendy should be able to match that efficiency and accumulate more yards with more touches.
NCAAF Rushing Yards Pick: Austyn Dendy over 38.5 rush yards
WR Ryan Wingo, Texas 
Jeremiah Smith and Cam Coleman get the headlines, but Ryan Wingo is a star receiver in his own right. He has exceeded 60 receiving yards in eight of his past 11 games, including leading the team in receptions and yards last week.
The competition gets much tougher in arguably the most anticipated game of the college football season. In last year's matchup against Ohio State, Wingo finished with two catches for 35 yards, but if he can repeat the eight targets that he got in that game, I trust him to hit the over with another year of experience alongside QB Arch Manning.
NCAAF Receiving Yards Pick: Ryan Wingo over 51.5 receiving yards
QUICK PICKS
Alberto Mendoza under 228.5 passing yards
Julian Sayin over 1.5 passing touchdowns
LJ Martin under 106.5 rushing yards
Reed Harris over 44.5 receiving yards
