This article is part of our DFS College Football series.
Each week throughout the college football season I share my favorite player props as part of our DFS College Football: PrizePicks Selections series.
For Week 9, I browsed through the Picks & Props tool and found my favorite passing, rushing and receiving props.
QB Josh Hoover, TCU 
What happens when you take the second-worst pass defense in the country and match them up with the fifth-best passing offense? A huge game for Josh Hoover against Texas Tech.
I think we're getting a favorable number this week because Hoover's numbers have been down the past two weeks. Considering he was facing two of the better pass defenses in those games, my expectation as that he will jump back up to the numbers we saw in the previous five games, when he averaged 354.8 yards per game.
CFB PrizePicks Selection: Josh Hoover MORE than 322.5 passing yards
RB Ashton Jeanty, Boise State 
How high is too high for the nation's leading rusher? Jeanty is averaging 208 rush yards per game on an astonishing 9.9 yards per carry through six games. You can point to a favorable schedule to explain some of the success, but he did also accumulate 192 yards and 3 TDs at Oregon, nearly carrying Boise State to an upset win in Week 2.
This week's matchup just isn't right for another 200-yard performance. UNLV ranks 20th in the nation in rushing defense, allowing just 104.4 yards per game. The way to exploit their defense is through the air, where they rank 125th. On offense, UNLV is one of the most run-heavy teams in the country, which should keep the clock moving and the ball out of Boise State's hands.
CFB PrizePicks Selection: Ashton Jeanty LESS than 193.5 rushing yards
WR Luther Burden, Missouri 
Coming off a 1,212-yard 2023 season, Burden entered the 2024 season as a consensus top-3 receiver in college fantasy football. He hasn't lived up to those expectations, but he is still the undisputed top weapon for a team that ranks in the top 50 in passing yards and scoring.
Burden has at least five catches in each of the past five games and over 58 yards in four of them. This week it looks like Missouri will be without starting QB Brady Cook, who injured his ankle last week, but the Tigers have a veteran backup in Drew Pyne, who should look to Burden early and often against Alabama. Assuming he gets around 10 targets, that volume should be enough to get him over the number.
*Updated to this pick on 10/24. The original post had a Caullin Lacy prop, however he has since announced that he will opt out of the rest of the season
