Author: Priyanka Saxena on Nov 05,2020

The Penn State Nittany Lions finally begin their 2020 season against the Indiana Hoosiers. The Indiana Hoosiers are one of the most underrated teams in this season so far. The previous season was one of the best seasons for the Penn State Nittany Lions in their club history. They would certainly love to carry forward the same momentum in the season as well. Though the long gap which occurred due to the COVID-19 pandemic may have made players rusty to some extent. 

But this clash will be worth watching as the Indiana Hoosiers would be eager to show what they are capable of. On the contrary, the Penn State Nittany Lions will be looking to continue their same game momentum from last season. This article will be useful for those who play fantasy games or bets. Because here you will find players you should pick in your fantasy team or players on whom you can bet as they can give you some handsome rewards as well. 

Players to pick from the Penn State Nittany Lions 

Sean Clifford 

Sean is in good form this season especially when it comes to pass the ball very smoothly. Sean has played only two games this season but has attempted 65 passes. That shows his intensity while playing in this season. Out of those 65 passes he made 42 successful passes as well. That certainly shows his success percentage is 64.5 in two games only. Imagine this guy playing six or seven more games with this success percentage. 

Therefore, Sean is the most important player from the Penn State Nittany Lions point of view. There is no one another than him who could replace this spot. Sean also has 519 passing yards from these two games only. Whereas he also has six touchdowns, and two interception throws to his name. Therefore, if Penn State Nittany Lions have to make a winning comeback this season, Sean is the vital player for them.

Jahan Dotson 

The receiving section will fill empty in case you don't pick Jahan in your fantasy team. Because in two games, he played for the Penn State Nittany Lions, he is averaging nearly 20 points per game which is highly adorable from any receiver’s point of view. Jahan also has 12 receptions to his name from this season. That shows he is in perfect game touch despite being off-field for four to five months. 

Jahan also has 238 receiving yards from those two games in this season. Therefore, dropping him from your fantasy team or putting bets against him won't be a wise choice you can have. Because he is such a player who can turn the game whenever he would wish for. Dotson also has four touchdowns to his name this season. That stats certainly speaks to his performance in this season, and so he becomes more important for this game. 

Players to pick from the Indiana Hoosiers 

Michael Penix Jr. 

Michael is almost like a replacement for Sean Clifford in this game specifically from the passing section. Michael has played two games this season for the Indiana Hoosiers. He has attempted 62 passing attempts from those two games which are just 3 short from Sean. On the other side, he has completed 36 passes out of those 62 which means his success percentage is 50%. That's why we said we would like a replacement for Sean. 

As we saw the stats of Sean, every bettor will be focusing on Sean more than compared to Michael for this specific game. Therefore, you can take advantage of this situation and pick Michael in your fantasy team over Sean. This move can certainly give you more points and may end up you on a huge margin. Michael can be your differential yet valuable pick for this game. 

Whop Philyor 

In this season, the receiving section has become crucial in every passing game. Therefore, picking receiving players from both sides will be a good move to take advantage of more points. That can certainly make you more money in this game. In two games this season, Whop averages 17 points per game. This is too good from any receiver's point of view, and coming from a single player is always welcomed by any fantasy player. 

He also has 173 passing yards from these two games which certainly gives you an idea about his performance this season. Despite being in isolation as a part of bio - bubble he has played very prominently, and that's why he becomes a crucial player at this stage.
