What The Market Is Saying
The market builds around Utah. Its core stack is Devon Dampier (DK $8,800) with Braden Pegan (DK $7,100), and its core back is Kendrick Raphael (DK $7,600). It also uses Makhi Frazier (DK $4,900) as cheap chalk after Kewan Lacy's shoulder injury. The market is split on Wayshawn Parker (DK $8,800) and on Ole Miss, and Stack IQ ranks the Ole Miss–Auburn stack first. DFS Hero has Parker at a 33.5% optimal rate, and DFS Hero has Trinidad Chambliss (DK $9,000) at a 13.4% optimal rate. A minority of the market likes Bear Bachmeier (DK $8,700) against Arizona State, and his leverage of 5.6, the top leverage at quarterback, makes him a play to let Build & Sim size.
