Daily Fantasy CFB Week 13: DraftKings Value Guide and Top Sleepers
With Week 13 of the college football season already in full swing, there are plenty of potential sleepers out there for selection.
What constitutes a sleeper? In the fantasy realm, a bargain-priced player surely constitutes a hidden gem—even if the player is from a high-profile conference or team.
This week, there are plenty of bargain buys that make a ton of sense as we head into rivalry weekend.

Filling Top Positions Left by NFL Draftees 🏈
QB Nick Stevens, Colorado State: $5,900
When making your selections at the quarterback position, Stevens may be someone to look into as a potential option.
The Colorado State signal-caller is not a big name by any stretch. However, his recent form has been impressive. The Rams have won three straight games, and Stevens has been both efficient and productive with the football.
On the season, he's accrued 20 touchdown tosses to only 11 interceptions. Stevens has thrown five touchdowns in the last two games and will be going up against a 3-8 Fresno State program. The Bulldogs rank No. 109 overall in total defense. As such, Stevens should outplay his somewhat low price.
RB Tre Watson, Cal: $3,800
Watson is a deep sleeper this week for the Cal Golden Bears. If one were looking at his recent string of performances, he looks like a solid option.
After being sparingly used throughout the year, Watson's had his two most productive games in back-to-back weeks—chocking up 110 and 87 rushing yards, respectively.
Watson is quick, fast and elusive. Not only can he make people miss in space, but he can also catch passes out of the backfield.
With starting running back Daniel Lasco a question mark for this weekend against Arizona State, Watson could be in line for a breakout effort. His paltry money total is also potentially worth the risk.
RB Jacobi Owens, Air Force: $5,000
Hailing from Air Force, Owens has had a fantastic season for the Falcons—rushing for 818 yards and six touchdowns on only 159 carries.
On Saturday, Owens gets a potentially tasty matchup against an average 6-5 New Mexico squad. In recent weeks, Owens has picked up his play. He's rushed for at least 137 yards in three of the past five games—including a season-high 145 yards last week in a win over Boise State.
New Mexico ranks No. 95 overall in total defense. As a result, look for Owens to continue his hot streak and have another productive day.
WR Jehu Chesson, Michigan: $4,500
Yes, Chesson is only Michigan's third-leading receiver in head coach Jim Harbaugh's run-happy offense. While he's somewhat of a high-risk selection, Chesson also has the ability to produce at a high level.
In the last four games, Chesson has accumulated 20 catches. Seven of those grabs have been touchdowns. He's the perfect selection for a fantasy player wanting to "hit" on a boom for a relative low money total.
Chesson is going up against a staunch Ohio State defense this weekend. With that said, he's the big-play threat the Wolverines will need in order to upend the Buckeyes.
RB Ronald Jones II, Southern Cal: $4,900
Due to the injury to Tre Madden, Jones II has been getting a good chunk of the carries for the Trojans.
The true freshman out of Texas has an incredible burst—as evidenced by a 6.8 yards-per-carry average on the season. Jones II has at least 14 carries in four of the past five games and also has registered four touchdowns in the same time span.
This weekend in a crosstown rivalry, he'll be going up against a UCLA run defense ranked No. 83 in the country.
