DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football (12/20/24)

Mike Marteny's DraftKings daily fantasy college football lineup picks for Friday (12/20/24). His CFB DFS lineup picks and DFS sleepers will help you win.

Friday gives us two bowl games and the first games of the expanded playoff. That makes this slate more interesting than just the early bowl games. We know the Battle for Lil' Sebastian won't have anyone opting out. Jacksonville State may have several sitting out, but we likely won't know until just before kickoff.

We start in Orlando with Ohio and Jacksonville State meeting in the Cure Bowl. Next is Tulane and Florida in the Gasparilla Bowl from Tampa. We finish the night in South Bend with Indiana taking on Notre Dame.

In this article, I will provide you with my daily fantasy college football lineup picks for DraftKings on 12/20/24, starting at noon Eastern. I’ll give 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

Parker Navarro, Ohio ($8.8K)

Navarro ran for over 60 yards for the fourth straight game. In three of those, he went over 100 yards. We're not sure what the Jacksonville State defense will look like, but Ohio's strong finish -- including the destruction of a good Miami-Ohio team -- gives the Bobcats all of the momentum here. Navarro is playing his last collegiate game in the stadium where it all started. He's in for a huge game!

DJ Lagway, Florida ($5.3K)

Lagway posted solid stat lines as a freshman against SEC heavyweights Mississippi, LSU, and Georgia. I think he'll be fine against Tulane. The Gators don't ask a lot of Lagway, but he'll do enough for us to be happy in this price range.

Also consider: Riley Leonard, Notre Dame ($9.4K); Kurtis Rourke, Indiana ($7.3K)

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Running Backs

Anthony Tyus III, Ohio ($5.8K)

Did you guys watch Tre Stewart in the Fun Belt Championship? He trampled this Jacksonville State defense. Tyus has been cooking with gas lately, topping 100 rushing yards in three straight games. I expect a big game for him and Ohio as a whole here.

Montrell Johnson Jr., Florida ($5K)

I would argue that Johnson's return to Florida was almost as important as Lagway taking over as the starting quarterback. Johnson piled up 206 yards and a pair of touchdowns in wins over Mississippi and Florida State to close the season. He ran for 85 tough yards against Tennessee back in October. Johnson can (and will) run on anyone.

Also consider: Tre Stewart, Jacksonville State ($8.9K); Makhi Hughes, Tulane ($7.9K); Ty Son Lawton, Indiana ($4.6K)

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Wide Receivers

Coleman Owen, Ohio ($7.2K)

I'm just banking on how good this Ohio offense was down the stretch. Is the class of the MAC better than the class of the Sun Belt? It's close enough for me to go all-in on the Ohio offense again. Owen has at least four receptions in all but the Toledo game in the second half of the season.

Elijhah Badger, Florida ($5.6K)

Eugene Wilson III is still out, so Badger will be the WR1 again for the Gators. We haven't seen Lagway have a giant passing day yet and we won't see it here, either. However, Lagway has given Badger a couple of 100-yard games this season.

Jordan Faison, Notre Dame ($3.3K)

It's hard to rely on any Notre Dame receiver. They spread the ball around a lot. Faison is the only consistent one. He has at least two receptions in all but the Miami-Ohio game. The bad news? Faison only has one touchdown on the season (in Week 13) and he has only topped 50 yards once (Week 9).

Also consider: Elijah Sarratt, Indiana ($5.9K); Mario Williams, Tulane ($5.4K); Chase Hendricks, Ohio ($4.1K); Mason Williams, Ohio ($3.1K)

DraftKings CFB Stacks

Ohio

Even though coach Tim Albin is leaving, Navarro and Coleman Owen are playing. It is assumed that Tyus will, too. If all of them do, that's the only full-stack I'm considering.

Also consider: Florida, Notre Dame
