Target surge puts Isaiah Sategna III among DraftKings Week 9 fantasy college football DFS main slate picks

Quarterbacks and matchup risks

Auburn quarterback Byram Brown has averaged 22.5 DraftKings fantasy points over the past two weeks, despite facing Georgia and LSU defenses described as among the nation’s best. His rushing production—479 yards and six touchdowns—supports his appeal against Ole Miss, which has allowed 5.5 yards per play, ranking 73rd in FBS.

Florida’s Aaron Philo is presented as a lower-cost option despite returning from a shoulder injury and facing Georgia’s defense. He has averaged 4.7 rushing DraftKings points per game, while the matchup carries a 51.5-point total and Florida is a 10.5-point underdog. Beau Pribula, priced at $6,000, is another option in that range.

Running backs with strong roles

Kendrick Raphael has handled 80.8% of SMU’s running back opportunities over the past three weeks. The senior faces Syracuse, which ranks 93rd in yards per carry allowed at 4.6.

Kansas transfer Dylan Edwards has taken over the Jayhawks’ backfield, claiming 84.2% of running back opportunities over the past three weeks—the highest share on the slate. Kansas’ game against TCU has a 45.5-point total, and Edwards’ outlook could suffer if quarterback Isaiah Marshall, who is questionable, cannot play.

Dickey’s role and scoring outlook

Texas Tech has an implied team total of 29.0. The assessment expects Dickey to have a full role and lead the team’s goal-line package.

Receivers gaining opportunity

Oklahoma slot receiver Isaiah Sategna III has received 42.7% of the team’s targets over the past three weeks, averaging 10.3 looks per game. After recording 164 yards and a touchdown against Mississippi State last week, he faces a South Carolina defense allowing 7.8 yards per attempt, ranking 90th nationally.

Javon Tracy’s workload is also trending upward for Minnesota, which is expected to need to throw on Saturday. The report does not provide further statistics for Tracy.
