There’s been some exciting action on the field, and we’ve got some great matchups to explore for this week’s DFS selections. So, let’s jump right in and break down the top picks for Week 3 of college football DFS

Sleepers

Quarterbacks

When it comes to DFS sleepers at the quarterback position for Week 3, we’ve got some intriguing options to consider.

First up, we have Riley Leonard at an attractive price of $6,700 on DraftKings. Leonard has shown some promise in his early starts, and he could provide great value if he continues to improve. Next, Donovan Smith at $8,000 offers a nice blend of consistency and upside, making him a solid mid-range option to keep an eye on. Chandler Morris, priced at $7,200, has been lighting up the scoreboard and could be a hidden gem in this week’s matchups. Finally, Mikey Keene comes in at a budget-friendly $6,800 and has the potential to outperform his price tag, making him an excellent sleeper pick for those looking to save some salary cap space while still aiming for big points.

Keep these quarterbacks on your radar as potential game-changers in your DFS lineups for Week 3.

Running Backs

When it comes to DFS sleepers at the running back position for Week 3, we’ve got a diverse group of hidden gems to consider. First off, Jahwar Jordan stands out at an enticing price of $5,500 on DraftKings. He’s a versatile back who can make an impact both on the ground and through the air. Rodney Hammond, priced at $5,700, is another sleeper option worth monitoring, as he’s been steadily contributing to his team’s offensive production.

With Rocket Sanders sidelined, AJ Green, available at just $5,500, steps into a more prominent role and could provide tremendous value this week. Trevor Etienne at $5,900 is another intriguing option, given his explosiveness and potential for big plays. Michael Wiley and Cam Skattebo, both valued at $6,000 and $5,800 respectively, offer strong sleeper potential due to their teams’ offensive schemes and matchups.

Receivers

When hunting for DFS sleepers at the wide receiver position in Week 3, we’ve got a mix of intriguing options that could provide excellent value. Starting off, we’ve got Brock Bowers, an elite talent who’s priced affordably at just $4,700 on DraftKings. Luther Burden, at $5,900, offers a nice balance of upside and consistency, making him a compelling choice.

Jamari Thrash, valued at $5,300, is another affordable option with big-play potential, and Barion Brown, coming in at $5,500, could be a game-changer in the right matchup. Squirrel White, at $5,100, has been inconsistent early but can provide potential on a budget.

While Oronde Gadsden II is priced at a mere $3,800, his injury status is uncertain, so keep an eye on his availability. Dayton Wade, also at $3,800, is another low-cost option to consider. Lastly, Jacob Cowing, at $6,700, might not be a traditional sleeper, but he’s worth the investment with his potential to put up big numbers. These wide receivers could be the hidden gems you need to boost your DFS lineup in Week 3.
