Best Boom Fantasy picks for August 29

(picks via SportsLine's computer model unless otherwise noted)

Kaidon Salter, Colorado, 209.5 passing yards - Higher (1.78x)

Salter, a transfer via Tennessee and Liberty, has one of the toughest jobs in college football this season as he takes over for Shedeur Sanders. He played in some big games at Liberty, however, and Deion Sanders has surrounded him with some talent at the skill positions. SportsLine's model projects that he'll throw 285 yards in this opener, making 'higher' the value play. Pick it at Boom:

Haynes King, Georgia Tech, 43.5 rushing yards - Higher (1.79x)

The senior is one of the more experienced starting quarterbacks at the Power Four level this season, and he made a big impact on the ground last year, running for nearly 600 yards. He cleared the 43.5-yard bar six times, including two games where he surpassed 100 yards on the ground. In a game against Colorado where Georgia Tech is favored, the model likes King to clear 50 yards on the ground. Click here to sign up for Boom Fantasy:

Jackson Arnold, Auburn, 33.5 rushing yards - Higher (1.8x)

The quarterback transfer from Oklahoma struggled overall in 2024 for the Sooners, but much of the success he had was on the ground. He had 150 carries on the year, and cleared 33.5 rushing yards in in seven of the 10 games he played in. The model is projecting similar running state for him at Auburn as he's projected to pile up nearly 60 yards on the ground against Baylor. Combine picks for a parlay on Boom Fantasy for a potential payout of 5.73x.
