Quarterback
Tucker Gleason, Toledo (DK $8,300, FD $10,600) vs. Central Michigan
Gleason is costly but makes the most sense as the top quarterback on the slate. Central Michigan s struggling with backup quarterbacks, which will give the Rockets more offensive opportunities. Gleason will also face a weak defense that will have a hard time defending Gleason if he is dialed in.
C.J. Ogbonna, Buffalo (DK $7,300, FD $9,800) vs. Ball State
Ogbonna has played well in Buffalo's offensive scheme, and the Cardinals don't have much of a defense to stand up against him. Ball State has an improved offensive corps, which is one reason for the game's high projected total. This could be a shootout in which the last team to score will win, and Ogbonna's dual-threat capability will be a big difference-maker.
Also consider: Connor Bazelak, Bowling Green (DK $6,700, FD $9,100) vs. Western Michigan
Running Back
Braedon Sloan, Ball

Running Back
Braedon Sloan, Ball State (DK $6,400, FD $7,200) @ Buffalo
Sloan is the key to Ball State's offensive success, and the Bulls have shown vulnerability against a solid ground game. Buffalo's uptempo offense will result in a lot of possessions for both teams, which is a feather in the cap for Sloan's potential opportunities. While the Cardinals are dreadful on defense, they should be able to sustain drives against Buffalo.
Jaden Nixon, Western Michigan (DK $7,700, FD $9,200) @ Bowling Green
Nixon leads the MAC with 847 rushing yards, and his contribution helps Hayden Woolf to open up the passing game. Connor Bazelak and his offense are favored here, but the Broncos shouldn't be underestimated especially with Nixon's ability to break open runs. Bowling Green's pass defense will keep Wolff in check leaving Nixon as their best chance for a win.
Also consider: Terion Stewart, Bowling Green (DK $7,300 FD $7,800) vs. Western Michigan
Wide Receiver
Harold Fannin, Bowling Green (DK $8,000, FD $10,100) vs. Western Michigan
Fannin is one of the best tight ends in the country, so his inclusion is no surprise. He is Bazelak's favorite target and has an eye-popping 75 catches for 1,033 yards and six touchdowns. Expect the Bazelak-Fannin connection to happen early and often as one of the best stacks on the slate.
Kenneth Womack, Western Michigan (DK $5,700, FD $6,500) @ Bowling Green
The Broncos rank 18th in pass success rate, and the Wolff-Womack connection is one reason for the team's success. Womack's cleverly hidden after missing the first three games of the season, but he snagged 110 targets as a full participant last season, and he's done a great job of catching up. Womack presents an excellent budget opportunity to keep us under the cap.
Also consider: Junior Vandeross, Toledo (DK $6,000, FD $8,100) vs. Central Michigan
