College Football Week 4 is underway, and this is the best slate we have seen yet. Colorado-Oregon may be a slate breaker, FSU-Clemson will be a lot of fun, and Ole Miss-Bama could lead to a ton of points. Let’s take a look at my favorite stack and bring back of the week. Here are my College Football Week 4 DFS Picks!

College Football Week 4 DFS Picks
Game Stack: Ole Miss (56.5) at Alabama -7
I am assuming everyone will vacate to the Colorado-Oregon game, and that is for a great reason. The game has a total over 70, and you simply may need a part of it if you are looking to win all the money. I really like this Ole Miss-Alabama game to stack heavily. I believe this Alabama offense is being overlooked after a few lackluster performances, and this is a great spot for them to bounce back.
Alabama and Ole Miss have gotten to 60 points in seven of the last eight meetings. Lane Kiffin has had great “offensive” success against Nick Saban, which is a rarity. This is key because we know anyone can score on this Ole Miss Defense.
Quarterback: Jalen Milroe $8,300
The Mississippi Receiver Conundrum
The Ole Miss receiving corps is going to be a massive risk/reward this week. Highest-priced receiver on the slate, $7,400 Zahkari Franklin, is practicing and seems likely to make his return. Franklin, a former All-Conference USA member with UTSA and pre-season Biletnikoff Award Watchlist member, is yet to make his debut with the Rebels.

$6,500 Jordan Watkins leads the team in receptions and yards. $7,000 Tre Harris is looking to return from injury and leads the team with five receiving touchdowns. Finally, $5,300 Dayton Wade is second on the team in receiving.
As you can see, there is a lot going on with the Ole Miss offense, and there is no correct answer, but I believe one of these guys will be a part of the optimal lineup. If you are playing 20 or more lineups, I would suggest that you have all of them in your player pool play no more than one in your lineup, and stack them with Jaxson Dart when you do so if you are just playing one or two lineups. I would go with Jordan Watkins, who has proven to be a safe pass catcher in this Ole Miss offense.
Honorable Mentions
Wide Receiver: Xavier Restrepo $5800
Restrepo leads the Hurricanes in targets, receptions, and yards but is yet to score a touchdown. Miami is 24-point favorites in this one, so the offense will come with ease. This gives Restrepo many opportunities to catch passes and inevitably find the end zone for the first time.
Wide Receiver: Troy Franklin $6,900
Troy Franklin being sub 7K in a game that has a total over 70 seems like a blatant misprice. This may lead to inflated ownership, but like I said, a game with a total this high may require you to be a part of if you are looking to take down a GPP. Franklin is the Ducks leading receiver with 17 receptions, 292 yards, and three touchdowns. Colorado is not stopping anyone, let alone this firey Oregon offense.
