Welcome to week 14 of the college football season! I hope everyone had a great thanksgiving filled with family, food, and football. The college football gods have given us a beautiful rivalry week to feast our eyes on, so let's dive in!
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy college football lineup picks for the main slate of games on FanDuel and DraftKings on 11/30/19. The lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays.
You can follow me on Twitter @VarneyDFS. I will be around all day to answer questions.
FanDuel, DraftKings DFS Quarterbacks
Justin Herbert - Oregon - FanDuel $9,200 / DraftKings $7,700
Justin Herbert is my top quarterback on this slate. The Oregon State Beavers sport a bottom-50 pass defense and Herbert has been over 300 yards in two straight games. The Ducks are favored by 19.5 here and expected to score around 40 points. You get a discount on Herbert on both sites and he’s my favorite option in all formats.
Jamie Newman - Wake Forest - FanDuel $10,500 / DraftKings $7,900
The highest total on this slate is set at 68.5 between the Wake Forest Demon Deacons and Syracuse Orange. Jamie Newman is expensive, but he has the highest upside on the slate and there’s enough value elsewhere. Syracuse ranks 96th in the nation against the pass and allow nearly 260 yards per game to much worse QB’s. Newman also ran the ball nearly 30 times last week, and his upside is insane if he’s going to do that against one of the worst rush defense in the nation.
Consider - Justin Fields, Tommy DeVito, Lynn Bowden
FanDuel, DraftKings DFS Running Backs
D'Andre Swift - Georgia - FanDuel $9,100 / DraftKings $7,600
If you can play Jonathan Taylor on DraftKings, do it. He’s an animal and has been over 200 yards for three straight games. Everywhere else, D’Andre Swift is your best bet. Swift is facing a Georgia Tech defense that ranks 119th of all FBS teams against the run with 195 yards allowed per game and five yards per carry. Swift should run wild in this game and I wouldn’t be surprised if he finds the end zone more than once.
Cade Carney - Wake Forest - FanDuel $7,200 / DraftKings $5,300
I mentioned how bad the Syracuse rush defense is. I don’t even mind playing Carney and Newman together. Carney is too cheap and this offense is going to put up enough points to account for both of them. Over 200 yards rushing as a team seems like a lock for Wake Forest and Carney should score at least once. I love his price.
Consider - Jonathan Taylor, J.K. Dobbins, CJ Verdell
FanDuel, DraftKings DFS Wide Receivers
Kendall Hinton - Wake Forest - FanDuel $8,700 / DraftKings $6,500
With Scotty Washington and Sage Surratt out, Kendall Hinton is the clear number one for Jamie Newman and he’s not expensive enough just yet. The match-up with Syracuse is incredible and Hinton should be one of the more popular plays on the slate. He caught eight balls last week and scored en route to 30 fantasy points. It’s hard to expect a repeat, but it certainly wouldn’t be surprising as this is the better match-up on paper. I love Hinton in all formats.
Trishton Jackson - Syracuse - FanDuel $8,800 / DraftKings $6,800
In the same game, we’re expecting Syracuse to throw the ball and Trishton Jackson has as much upside as anyone. This game does have the highest total on the board, so don’t worry about targeting it too much. I also think the over hits, so you can tell why I like the game so much. DeVito is a capable passer and he looks for Jackson in the red-zone over 50% of the time. Jackson won’t be heavily owned and is right up there with Hinton in my book.
Johnny Johnson III - Oregon - FanDuel $7,400 / DraftKings $5,600
My favorite receiver to pair with Justin Herbert is Johnny Johnson III. He reeled in 10 balls last week for 2017 yards and two touchdowns. Herbert has been throwing the ball to him a ton and I don’t see why that stops against Oregon State. Johnson isn’t expensive enough on either site and I’ll be locking him into every lineup of mine. With that being said, in tournaments, get some exposure to the other Oregon pass-catchers as they’ll be under-owned.
