Week 2 college football DFS is here, and if you are not looking at the Oregon game, you are missing out big time. The Ducks are rolling into Oklahoma State with a team total near 40 points, and that game, plus Texas Tech at Oregon State where rushing is gonna be king, are gonna be the foundation for so many winning DFS lineups this weekend. Seriously, these are not just good games, they are your DFS anchors.

QB Spotlight: Moore Mania Is Real, But Don’t Sleep on the Value

Let’s talk quarterbacks first, because Dante Moore is absolutely electric. He kicked off Oregon’s season against Boise State by throwing for 378 yards and three touchdowns. That’s a huge stat line! Now, he’s facing an Oklahoma State pass defense that’s ranked a brutal No. 92. Are you kidding me? For $8,900 on DraftKings, he’s a no-brainer for both cash games and tournaments. This dude is gonna eat. If you need to save some cash, keep an eye on Avery Johnson. He gets to go up against a Washington State pass defense sitting even worse at No. 108. Or snag Rocco Becht from a Penn State offense projected for 37 points, and he only costs $8,000 on DraftKings. And don’t forget Faizon Brandon on FanDuel for $11,500, leading a Tennessee offense set for 33.5 points.

Need to dig deep for value? Steve Angeli is a steal at $6,000 on DraftKings against a California defense ranked No. 124 in scoring. That’s a huge mismatch! Drake Lindsey is even cheaper at $5,300 for a Minnesota offense. These cheaper QBs free up serious salary for the skill position studs you know you want.

Running Backs: Attack Those Weak Run Defenses!

The clearest path to DFS glory this week is by targeting the absolute struggles against the run that Illinois and Oregon State showed in Week 1. They got gashed, and we need to capitalize. Nate Sheppard is facing an Illinois defense ranked No. 113 against the run, and he is just $8,200 on DraftKings. That’s prime territory for a monster game.

But the best spot? Cameron Dickey. Texas Tech has a massive 40-point team total against an Oregon State defense ranked a pathetic No. 121 against the run. Dickey is only $8,800 on FanDuel, and his teammate J’Koby Williams gives you a cheaper way into that same backfield for $7,700. You know those guys are gonna feast. Keep DeSean Bishop in mind too, as he takes on a Georgia Tech defense ranked No. 112 against the run. Jordon Davison in Oregon’s offense, projected for 39.5 points, has touchdown upside you cannot ignore. For real punt plays, Justin Baker is a backup with big-play ability against that same Georgia Tech defense for $5,300 on FanDuel, and J.J. Hill at $4,700 had a productive opener. Don’t leave points on the field!

So, get those lineups locked in. This Week 2 slate has some serious potential for big payouts. Good luck out there!
