Sleepers

Quarterbacks

In Week 4 of college football DFS on DraftKings, there are a couple of sleeper quarterbacks who offer intriguing value. First up, we have Mikey Keene, priced at $8100. With an affordable price tag and a matchup that could turn into a high-scoring affair, Keene might be the budget-friendly quarterback you need to stack your lineup with premium talent at other positions.

Another quarterback to keep an eye on is Brayden Schager, priced at an even more budget-friendly $6500. His price allows for significant roster flexibility, making him an intriguing option for DFS managers looking to differentiate their lineups while still capitalizing on his potential for a breakout performance. These sleeper quarterbacks might just be the ticket to unlocking your DFS success in Week 4.

Running Backs

In the crowded landscape of Week 4 college football DFS running backs on DraftKings, several hidden gems emerge with favorable price tags. First on the radar is CJ Donaldson, priced at an enticing $5900. His affordability presents a fantastic opportunity to bolster your lineup’s strength. Meanwhile, don’t sleep on Devin Neal, also at $5900. The Kansas running back has shown his ability to excel both on the ground and as a receiving threat, making him an attractive dual-threat option for DFS enthusiasts. Jawhar Jordan at $6500 offers another intriguing choice, especially given his potential to break off big runs and produce in the passing game.

DJ Giddons, available at just $5200, provides a budget-friendly option with the potential for a high return on investment as he fills in as the starter for the first time this season with Ward doubtful to play.

Jonathan Brooks at $5900 and Star Thomas at $5000 round out the list of affordable running backs, both of whom could surprise and outperform their price tags in Week 4. These sleeper running backs present a range of opportunities to help you craft a winning DFS lineup that’s both competitive and budget-friendly.

Receivers

In Week 4 of college football DFS on DraftKings, a plethora of sleeper wide receivers beckon with the promise of hidden value. Let’s kick things off with Jerand Bradley, an enticing option at a budget-friendly $5900. Bradley’s consistent performance and rapport with his quarterback make him a standout choice to consider.

If you’re seeking even more wallet-friendly selections, Chase Roberts and Ryan O’Keefe, priced at just $4500 and $4600 respectively, could be the diamonds in the rough your lineup needs. Their affordability allows you to allocate resources elsewhere while still benefiting from their upside.

For those ready to invest a bit more, Lincoln Victor at $5100 brings a mix of reliability and big-play potential to the table. Don’t forget Pofele Ashlock at $5800 and Ja’Lynn Polk at $5400, both of whom offer intriguing options in the mid-range tier. These sleeper wide receivers, including Bradley, Roberts, O’Keefe, Victor, Ashlock, and Polk, hold the potential to provide your DFS lineup with the explosive plays and point-scoring opportunities it needs to shine in Week 4.

High-Probability Position Groups

When analyzing college football matchups, it’s essential to identify position groups that have a high probability of success when facing an outmatched opponent. For instance, teams with dominant offensive lines going up against weaker defensive fronts often provide their running backs with the perfect opportunity to shine. Additionally, wide receiver groups facing vulnerable secondaries can exploit mismatches and put up big numbers. Quarterbacks facing defenses with a history of struggling against the pass also present promising opportunities for DFS success.

Recognizing these favorable position group matchups can be the key to assembling a winning DFS lineup and maximizing your chances of coming out on top in Week 4.

Shootouts of the Week

By examining the implied scores derived from the point spread and over/under metrics, we can pinpoint games with the potential for offensive fireworks. When the over/under line is set high, it signifies an expectation of a high-scoring affair, making players from those contests particularly enticing for DFS lineups.

Additionally, games with narrow point spreads suggest closely contested battles where both teams will likely keep their foot on the gas pedal, creating opportunities for multiple players to accumulate fantasy points. Identifying these projected shootouts allows DFS enthusiasts to target players from these games and take full advantage of the potential for explosive point production this week.
