As we wind down the season, this DFS slate is packed with both College Football Playoff and Heisman Trophy implications. This could be to our advantage in DFS as teams and players look to make statements to the voters and show why they are deserving of awards and playoff spots.
We will go into detail a bit more below, but this may be the first week of the entire season that I do not recommend automatically putting a quarterback in your super flex spot. The quarterback position is pretty weak this week, while the running back group is loaded with studs. As always at this time of the year, be sure to keep an eye on the injury report as Saturday closes in.
In this article below, you will find my CFB DFS lineup picks for Week 13 (Saturday, November 23) via my positional college football rankings.

As mentioned above, the quarterback group for this week, specifically in cash games, is overall quite weak. Cam Ward, Kevin Jennings, and Shedeur Sanders all have solid floors and are safe for cash games, but also are not cheap and will stop you from getting top-end running backs this week. Dylan Rizk is interesting as he plays in an up-tempo offense against a poor WVU defense.
Although there will be a risk (no pun intended to Dylan), there is some upside at quarterback in GPPs this week. Players such as Ward, Howard, Rourke, Jenning, and Ewers all lead teams that score over 37 points per game on the season, meaning big games are possible at any time. On the bottom end, midseason changes have given Rizk and Grayson James some upside at cheap prices.

Running back this week is absolutely loaded. The one issue here is they are all priced accordingly. It would not be a bad idea to run some teams with four running backs this week. All of the backs in the top eight of the cash-game rankings have locked-in workloads and most have plus matchups.
In GPPs, I find myself drawn toward Ollie Gordon II, who came into the season with a ton of hype. He and Tahj Brooks could face off to show NFL scouts why they should be the second back off the board this spring behind Ashton Jeanty. If you want to save a little money, Ulysses Bentley IV has shown upside both at SMU and now at Ole Miss, and with Henry Parrish Jr. out for the season, he should be close to the feature back.

Wide receiver slots in right between running back and quarterback this week, with some solid plays but nothing that screams must play. In cash games, I am avoiding the top-end plays as running back seems to be the better value at those price points this week. That said, in cash games, there are still plenty of options to attack, most notably the games between Ohio State and Indiana and Oklahoma State and Texas Tech.
In GPPs, the top two options are the two highest-priced plays on the board. Because of their price, and Tre Harris' injury, expect them to both be underutilized in GPPs. There are no super cheap plays that stand out, but I think DJ Lagway is getting better at Florida and Elijhah Badger appears locked into his role and is now healthy.
