The Florida Gators face the Texas A&M Aggies at home in their Week 3 matchup on Saturday. With a lot of questions surrounding the program and its ability to win games against tough opponents, this will be an intriguing matchup. Let's take a look at DraftKings Daily Fantasy Sports and see which Florida players you should add to the lineups.
Florida players for Week 3 DraftKings Lineup
WR Elijhah Badger ($4,600)
Wide receiver Elijhah Badger has shown the ability to be a force in the passing game for the Florida Gators. He had a massive game last week, finishing with three receptions for 123 yards (41.0 yards per catch). With his price and having Eugene Wilson III getting the bulk of the attention by the defense, he should step up and get 2x his value here.
RB Montrell Johnson Jr. ($6,100)
Running back Montrell Johnson Jr. will likely see the bulk of the action today as he is the only Gator with double-digit carries this season. He has shown the ability to gain chunk yards as Johnson is averaging 6.7 yards per attempt with three rushing TDs in two games.
The Aggies allowed 198 rushing yards and two touchdowns against Notre Dame in Week 1. Get Johnson on your DFS lineup.
QB Graham Mertz ($7,000)
Graham Mertz will be the starting quarterback and should be able to play much better today after a full week off. He is pretty cheap for the slate at $7,000 and is coming off a game where he went just 11-of-20 for 91 yards and an interception. Last season, he averaged a rushing touchdown almost every three games so do not be surprised to see Mertz on the move.
People may be scared of him, with DJ Lagway expected to see some action, but Mertz should have a solid game overall. To win, you need to have a different star player than everyone and live in the uncomfortable. That is what Graham Mertz is right now, and he should thrive.
