The Saturday 10/31 main slate has seven games: OKST @ ISU, CLEM @ FSU, MSST @ TEX, GT @ PITT, MIA @ UNC, OSU @ USC and MIZZ @ ARK. It runs on a $50,000 cap, and lineups lock at 7:00 p.m. ET (4:00 p.m. PT).
At the top of our model's board are two wide receivers. Malachi Toney of MIA is projected for 31.7 points at $9,800, with a ceiling of 52.0. Jeremiah Smith of OSU is next at $9,900, projected for 28.5 with a 48.2 ceiling. Both carry big price tags, but the ceilings are the highest on the slate.
Running back and quarterback fill out the rest of the premium tier. Jamal Roberts (MIZZ, $8,800) projects at 21.8 and Aiden Flora (ISU, $8,500) at 20.3, though Flora's 41.7 ceiling tops Roberts at 40.8. Caleb Hawkins of OKST projects at 27.5 for $9,100. At quarterback, OKST's Drew Mestemaker projects at 27.8 for $9,700, and FSU's Ashton Daniels at 23.9 for $8,700.
The value plays are where lineups get built. Quintrevion Wisner (FSU, $5,100) projects at 17.0, or 3.3 points per $1,000, the best rate among players under $6,100. Two quarterbacks follow at 3.2 points per $1,000: Tait Reynolds (CLEM, $5,500) at 17.5 and Holden Geriner (PITT, $5,500) at 17.4. Check the status tags before locking anyone in. Julian Sayin (OSU) and Ja'Kobi Jackson (OSU) are tagged OUT, Ja'Kyrian Turner (PITT) is Q, and Chris Marshall (ARK) is D.
Our model's top lineup spends $49,800 of the $50,000. It starts with Reynolds at QB, pairs Flora with Javian Mallory ($5,800) at running back, and puts Toney with Cataurus Hicks ($6,100) and Donovan Olugbode ($5,600) at wide receiver. Nick Thomas ($3,000) fills the FLEX, and Geriner takes the S-FLEX.
Lineups lock Saturday at 7:00 p.m. ET.
