DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily Fantasy College Football (11/3/21)

Do you feel that? The chill in the air means football nearly every day of the week once we hit November. November is here and so is MACtion! The ten teams from the conference that didn't play last week in the MAC will play on Tuesday and Wednesday this week. Tuesday gives us the larger slate with three games. Due to the small slates that we have leading up to the weekend, I'm going to do my spreads picks and DFS picks in the same article. You know, to be more efficient. Thursday's spread pick will be in here as well. Friday's will be in the regularly scheduled results post dropping on Thursday evening.

Wednesday we only have two games, both starting at 7pm Eastern. We have Northern Illinois travelling to Kent to take on a pretty good Golden Flashes offense. Then we have a rivalry game with Central Michigan heading down I-94 to Kalamazoo to take on the Broncos. This is going to be a good one. MACtion, baby!

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy college football lineup picks for DraftKings on 11/3/21 locking at 7 pm eastern. I’ll be providing multiple player suggestions for players at guard and forward, aiming to highlight one option apiece at the high, middle, and lower end of the salary scale. Good luck, RotoBallers.

CFB Betting Picks 11/3 and 11/4

Northern Illinois at Kent State(-3.5)

Betting Pick Confidence Factor: 2

This line has dropped 2.5 points since it opened and I see why. NIU is 4-0 in MAC play despite being dogs in two of those games and an even line in one of the others. I still think NIU's defense keeps pulling out these close games. Give me the Huskies.

Central Michigan at Western Michigan(-10.5)

Betting Pick Confidence Factor: 2

Wow, this looks high for a rivalry. Maybe I'm just scarred from watching the Broncos get blasted by Ball State and Toledo within the last three games. After all, the Broncos took down a Pitt team that was cruising until they crashed into Miami (the Florida version). I really don't like that half though. Give me CMU and the points.

Georgia State at Louisiana(-12.5)

Betting Pick Confidence Factor: 3

I'm not sure that the Panthers are much better than the Texas State team that the Cajuns took out behind the woodshed last weekend. Give me Louisiana.

DraftKings CFB DFS Quarterbacks

Dustin Crum, Kent State ($7,900)

Crum's rushing ability gives him by far the highest floor on the slate. He has at least 70 rushing yards in three of the past four games while topping 200 passing yards in three of those as well. Crum also hasn't thrown an interception since the first game of the season when he threw two against Texas A&M. Did I mention Crum's five rushing touchdowns in the last four games? He's the one guy you have to have on this slate.

Kaleb Eleby, Western Michigan ($6,500)

Eleby is starting to come around during MAC play. He has at least 200 passing yards in every game since Week 2 and has scored a rushing touchdown in each of the last three games. The erratic completion percentage doesn't really affect us DFS folk since he has only thrown two interceptions on the season (both against Ball State in Week 6). We can deal with that so long as the yards and rushing touchdowns are still there.

Also consider: Rocky Lombardi, Northern Illinois ($6,900); Daniel Richardson, Central Michigan ($5,600)

DraftKings CFB DFS Running Backs

Lew Nichols III, Central Michigan ($8,300)

Nichols has at least 32 DraftKings points in four of the last five games, so he's cooking at the right time for the Chippewas. Miami of Ohio shut him down, but he has at least 130 rushing yards in the other four games with at least one touchdown in those games. Nichols has separated himself from the MAC pack at running back this this recent stretch. Western Michigan's run defense has been pretty good, but I don't think pretty good shuts down Nichols.

Jay Ducker, Northern Illinois ($5,200)

As good as Harrison Waylee has been for the Huskies, he's going to have a hard time getting his job back from Ducker. Ducker has racked up 393 rushing yards in the last two games with Waylee out. DFS players are disappointed in the lack of touchdowns (he hasn't scored one yet this season), but those kind of yardage totals still put up a ton of points for someone priced in this range. Kent has allowed three opponents this year to put up over 300 rushing yards on them. Don't be shocked if Ducker has another huge game here.

Xavier Williams, Kent State ($4,100)

Williams is poaching just enough carries to keep me from going heavy on Marquez Cooper. The NIU run defense has been one of the best in the conference this season. If I use a Kent back, I think I would rather take the savings and go with Williams, who has almost split the carries right down the middle over the last two games. There is risk here, but there is risk with every value back on this slate.

Also consider: Marquez Cooper, Kent State ($5,700); Sean Tyler, Western Michigan ($5,500); La'Darius Jefferson, Western Michigan ($4,600)

DraftKings CFB DFS Wide Receivers

Skyy Moore, Western Michigan ($7,500)

Moore had a humbling start to the season against Michigan, but since then he has at least seven receptions in every game, even topping ten catches a couple of different times. The five touchdowns has some DFS sorts complaining a bit, but his price isn't so high that if he doesn't score he'll torpedo your lineup. Moore has a nice floor with an ample ceiling here.

Dante Cephas, Kent State ($7,200)

There's more than enough value to run both Cephas and Moore with their quarterbacks if you so choose. Cephas has at least five receptions in each of the last five games with six touchdowns in that span. One could argue that he has been right there with Moore. Moore has the better matchup here, but the upside on Cephas is just as high as Moore.

Jaylen Hall, Western Michigan ($5,400)

Hall has five receptions in each of the last three games. He's emerging as Robin to Skyy Moore. Hall is averaging 19.5 yards per catch in those three games, so there's a ton of upside here. The more attention that Moore receives, the more than Hall's upside increases. He comes at a nice discount in a game where both teams should be throwing enough to keep up DFS players happy.

Dallas Dixon, Central Michigan ($4,200)

Dixon's six receiving touchdowns are second to Sullivan's seven on the season. Dixon is also second on the team in receptions and second in yards. Sullivan is looked to more in the red zone and Pimpleton sees more volume, but they are both much higher priced than Dixon. He comes at a nice discount here. NIU did hold him to just two receptions last week, but I'm willing to take a shot on Dixon for this price.

Also consider: Kalil Pimpleton, Central Michigan ($6,400); Jacorey Sullivan, Central Michigan ($6,100); Trayvon Rudolph, Northern Illinois ($5,900); Nykiem Johnson, Kent State ($4,700)
