DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football (10/25/24)

It's only two months until Christmas! Okay, enough of that nonsense. We've got big-time college football on a Friday! That's worth celebrating!

We begin on Chestnut Hill with Louisville climbing to face Boston College. Next up is a big one in Sin City with Boise State facing UNLV. We end in L.A. with Rutgers taking on the Trojans at the site of the 2028 Summer Olympics.

In this article, I will provide my daily fantasy college football lineup picks for DraftKings on 10/25/24, locking at 7:30 p.m. Eastern. I’ll provide multiple player suggestions for players at quarterback, running back, and wide receiver, aiming to highlight one option at the salary scale's high, middle, and lower end. Good luck, RotoBallers.

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Quarterbacks

Hajj-Malik Williams, UNLV ($8.8K)

Since Matthew Sluka quit on his team, UNLV is 3-1, with an OT loss to Syracuse where they scored 41. Beat Oregon St last night.

For UNLV, Sluka had 106 YPG passing and 84 YPG rushing.

Hajj-Malik Williams since? 210 YPG passing and 76 yards rushing.

Several UNLV players came out in support of Williams immediately after Sluka quit. That's what I listened to. That's how we knew UNLV was going to be okay. The players still rave about his leadership. We'll need to see it here if UNLV is to pull off the upset.

I expect a high-scoring game, but the prices on the stars are prohibitive. We can't run all three of the biggest names easily, if at all. Boise's defense has been fairly good, but they don't force turnovers. Williams isn't turnover-prone anyway, so what that means to me is that UNLV will have the ball almost uninhibited. If you've watched Williams at all since he took over, you know how dangerous that is.

Thomas Castellanos, Boston College ($6.9K)

Louisville has given up a lot of yards and a lot of points lately. They haven't intercepted a pass since Week 2 and have allowed everyone but Notre Dame's Riley Leonard to throw for more than 290 yards over the last five games. Castellanos likely won't throw for 300 yards. That's not really his game. However, he could come close. At this price, that's enough.

Also consider: Miller Moss, USC ($7.2K); Maddux Madsen, Boise State ($6.6K)

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Running Backs

Ashton Jeanty, Boise State ($12K)

That price is not a typo, but who doesn't want a guy averaging 208 rushing yards and three touchdowns per game? Averaging! The UNLV defense is opportunistic, but they'll still give up their share of yards. LeQuint Allen busted them up a few weeks ago. Jeanty will do the same. He might even get close to those averages.

Woody Marks, USC ($8K)

Here's your GPP pivot to Jeanty since we likely won't be able to use both. Marks is running for more yards than he did with Mississippi State last year, but he's still catching passes. He has no fewer than two receptions in a game this year and averages 3.5 per game. He won't put up monster numbers like Jeanty, but he's also 67% of Jeanty's price.

Also consider: Kyle Monangai, Rutgers ($7.8K); Isaac Brown, Louisville ($6.2K); Jai'Den Thomas, UNLV ($5.8K)

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Wide Receivers

Ricky White III, UNLV ($8.7K)

?Ridiculous stat alert?

UNLV star receiver Ricky White III now has 3 blocked punts BY HIMSELF this season.

We don't get any credit in DFS for blocked kicks, but it goes to show you what kind of player Ricky White III is. He'll play anywhere, any time, and at any position...and he's really good wherever you put him.

White's numbers have dramatically increased with Williams at quarterback. White has 36 receptions in four games with Williams compared to 10 in three games with Matt Sluka. Six of his nine touchdowns have come from Williams. He hasn't had fewer than 88 yards in a game with Williams. These two are a perfect match!

Jacob De Jesus, UNLV ($5.1K)

De Jesus had five receptions combined in the first three games. He has 12 since. That's still only averaging three per game, but he's averaging 55 yards per game. Lost in Jeanty's historic season is just how many yards the Boise State defense has given up.

The Broncos allow an average of 276.3 passing yards per game. That includes the 130 from Portland State in that average. Three of the six teams have thrown for more than 320 yards. UNLV's receivers will get more than enough work to make both of them worth using in DFS.

Cam Camper, Boise State ($4.9K)

I'm aware that there are three games on this slate. I'm also aware that one of them has an over/under much higher than the other two games on the slate. Camper is coming off of his best game as a Bronco (7 receptions, 111 yards). Look for him to be a big factor again in a game that should remain close.

Also consider: Ja'Corey Brooks, Louisville ($7.3K); Kyron Hudson, USC ($4.8K); Makai Lemon, USC ($4K)

DraftKings CFB Stacks

UNLV

Boise gives up an average of 380 yards per game. I'm running a UNLV stack with Williams, Thomas, White, and De Jesus. That leaves me $5.4K left per slot. I hate having to leave out Jeanty, but if this game goes like I think it will, this four-man stack will have low ownership and high production.

Boise State

The Broncos are hard to fully stack because Jeanty and Camper are such huge parts of the offense. Instead of pushing for a four-man stack here, I'm running Camper, Jeanty, and Madsen and running it back with the cheap UNLV pieces (Thomas and De Jesus). That leaves $5.2K for each of the three remaining slots.

Also consider: USC, Louisville
