Coach “Prime” brought in over fifty transfers, including his own son Shedeur Sanders, which created a huge influx of talent to the program.

College Football DFS: Colorado Buffaloes Pricing for Week 2
Shedeur Sanders went into last week’s CFB DFS slate as a mid-range quarterback and a lot of question marks. He performed well at the helm lower division Jackson State, but it remained to be seen how he could perform on the bigger stage. The questions were answered by Sanders’ “prime” performance. He threw for over 500 yards and four touchdowns.
Sanders was priced at a flat $7,000 last week. He received a hefty raise on DraftKings going into Colorado’s Week 2 matchup with the Nebraska Cornhuskers. He comes in at the hefty price of $9,400 on this Saturday’s slate. He is the third highest quarterback behind Jaxson Dart ($9,700) and Cam Rising ($9,900).
The Buffaloes are favored by three over Nebraska when the Cornhuskers head to Boulder on Saturday morning. They have a 30-point implied team total for the matchup. That Over/Under is relatively high and should give the Colorado players strong projections for DFS this week. However, there are thirteen games on the slate with many other high total matchups.
Many other Colorado players got raises in addition to Sanders. Dylan Edwards, the team’s starting running back comes in at $6,500. Their trio of top receivers are all in the $7,000 range. Jimmy Horn Jr. ($7,400), Xavier Weaver ($7,200) and Travis Hunter ($7,000) had big games against TCU and will look to repeat those performances. They could be make their way into a lot of NCAAF DFS lineups this week.
Stay tuned for more CFB DFS action and updates to Stokastic’s projections throughout the week.
