DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football (10/30/24)

We are down to two games on Wednesday, which feature quite a contrast of styles. We have a couple of tough defenses and a couple of high-powered offenses going against them.

We begin in Lynchburg with Jacksonville State in town to take on Liberty. The nightcap is in Bowling Green with Kennesaw State -- fresh off of their first FBS win -- in two looking for their second.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy college football lineup picks for DraftKings on 10/30/24, locking at 7 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 high, middle, and lower end of the salary scale. Good luck, RotoBallers.

College Football Betting Picks - October 30

Since we have DFS slates this week and not just single-game showdowns, I'll add the betting picks here instead of posting them on X. It's one-stop shopping again this week!

Jacksonville State at Liberty (-2.5)

Betting Pick Confidence Factor: 2

This isn't last year's Liberty squad. They are 1-5 against the spread and just handed Kennesaw State its first FBS win. Still, this is in Lynchburg. The Gamecocks have won four in a row since a 0-3 start. I'll say the win streak continues. Give me Jacksonville.

Kennesaw State at Western Kentucky (-24.5)

Betting Pick Confidence Factor: 3

This is too high. Kennesaw might not get their second win, but the WKU defense won't be able to hold them down, either. Give me Kennesaw and the points.

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Quarterbacks

Tyler Huff, Jacksonville State ($9.8K)

We're paying a premium for the rushing upside. Huff has topped 100 rushing yards in two of the last three games. Liberty had issues stopping Kennesaw's run game last week. This is an exploitable spot on the Liberty D.

Huff is also an efficient passer who doesn't make many mistakes. He hasn't thrown an interception since Week 4. He has only three passing touchdowns since then, but he does have six on the ground.

Davis Bryson, Kennesaw State ($5.1K)

Kennesaw State earns its first win as an FBS program, upsetting Liberty 27-24. That’s the Flames’ first loss of the year and their first regular season loss since 2022.

Owls QB Davis Bryson was 16/20 passing for 189 yards and 1 TD.

That was easily Bryson's most efficient game in FBS. Only one touchdown pass is a bit of a bummer, but he didn't turn it over. The Hilltoppers have struggled on defense again this year. If Bryson turned a corner, he's going to light up the Hilltoppers like Rockefeller Center for Christmas.

Also consider: Caden Veltkamp, Western Kentucky ($7.8K); Kaidon Salter, Liberty ($7.3K)

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Running Backs

Tre Stewart, Jacksonville State ($7.1K)

An incredible 438 rushing yards for Jacksonville State last night. RB Tre Stewart led the way with 210 of them, the third game in a row he's topped 100 yards. https://t.co/5lotv5isZC

— Simon Carroll (@NFLDraftSi) October 24, 2024

Stewart isn't going to duplicate the performance against Middle Tennessee State last week in this week's matchup, but I see no reason that he won't get his fourth consecutive 100-yard game. Stewart has at least 22 touches in three straight games. He's in for another good one tonight.

Michael Benefield, Kennesaw State ($4.5K)

Benefield out-touched Qua Ashley at the critical junctures of last week's game.  Ashley ended up with more receptions, and Benefield ended up with the touchdown. Both are solid options against WKU, but Benefield puts up around the same totals for around $1K less.

Also consider: Elijah Young, Western Kentucky ($6.7K); Quinton Cooley, Liberty ($6.2K)

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Wide Receivers

Kisean Johnson, Western Kentucky ($7.5K)

Johnson had by far his worst game of the season last week, but Sam Houston was hell-bent on not letting Johnson beat them. They made it very hard for Veltkamp to get the ball to him. Can Kennesaw's defense do the same? I have my doubts.

Easton Messer, Western Kentucky ($4.8K)

The Hilltoppers have found ways to get Messer the ball even when the passing game isn't working as planned. He returns kicks and has gotten a few carries out of the backfield. He's worth a shot, considering all of the ways that WKU tries to get him the ball.

Cam Vaughn, Jacksonville State ($4.5K)

We are dealing with three teams on a four-game slate that would rather run than throw. Vaughn has become Tyler Huff's favorite target, having 13 receptions over the last three games. He hasn't found the end zone in that span, but he'll get back there soon enough.

Also consider: Treon Sibley, Liberty ($4.8K); Michael Pettway, Jacksonville State ($4.1K); Tyson Mobley, Liberty ($3.8K)

DraftKings CFB Stacks

Western Kentucky

Kennesaw did a good job on Liberty last week, but the Hilltoppers are not a one-dimensional offense. Elijah Young gets plenty of carries. Using him with Veltkamp, Johnson, and Messer is a very affordable stack and is the most likely on the slate to go off.

Jacksonville State

Huff and Stewart gobble up so much of the workload that most DFS players will stop there. Add Vaughn to your stack for the little added production at less ownership.

Also consider: Kennesaw State, Liberty
