DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football (11/19/24)

This year was weird. We only had one week of full MACtion with all 12 teams in action in the middle of the week. Ball State and Bowling Green had to mess it up this week and play on Saturday. Tonight is the big night of MACtion this week with three games.

The starts are all staggered tonight, so the tournaments will last a little longer. First up is Akron in Kent, a game featuring two of the worst teams in the MAC. Next up is Western Michigan in Mount Pleasant to take on Central Michigan. We close this out in Oxford, Ohio with NIU facing Miami of Ohio.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy college football lineup picks for DraftKings on 11/19/24, 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 - November 19

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

Akron (-9.5) at Kent State

Betting Pick Confidence Factor: 2

I like how the Zips have played lately, but are they 10 points better than anyone on the road...especially when they haven't won a road contest this year? Give me Akron because Kent is dreadful, but I'm not too excited about it.

Western Michigan (-6.5) at Central Michigan

Betting Pick Confidence Factor: 3

This feels low. The Chips will be on their third or fourth-string quarterback Both are equally bad. I'll take the Broncos.

Northern Illinois at Miami (OH) (-2.5)

Betting Pick Confidence Factor: 3

Inconsistent quarterback play is still a problem for NIU and Antario Brown is out. Give me the Redhawks.

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Quarterbacks

Ben Finley, Akron ($6.6K)

Much was made of Finley's terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad (passing) day against NIU last week. He only completed 19 of his 52 pass attempts. However, he threw a touchdown, didn't turn the ball over, and led Akron to a win against the spread.

His reward is a date with a Kent team that has allowed 257 passing yards per game and 2.3 touchdowns. Expect a MUCH better night from Finley tonight.

Tommy Ulatowski, Kent State ($5K)

ULATOWSKI!!!
Touchdown Tommy Ulatowski to Chrishon McCray for 6 & first lead of the season for the Golden Flashes. Damn, near Thanksgiving before Kent St gets up on someone.
Tommy Ulatowski can play & deserves better than how HC/OC were treating him... https://t.co/f4spXDJByd

The silver lining in this is that Kent is being more aggressive on offense. Ultatowski has a good arm but doesn't always make good decisions. That said, this is Kent's best shot at a win this year and they are at home. I expect Ulatowski to bring it in this game. Even if Kent loses, they'll put on a show doing it.

Also consider: Brett Gabbert, Miami (OH) ($8.3K); Hayden Wolff, Western Michigan ($5.4K)

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Running Backs

Marion Lukes, Central Michigan ($7.3K)

Lukes is one of the few backs in the MAC that still gets a heavy share of carries. Even Western Michigan has moved to more of a committee approach. Speaking of Western Michigan, they have allowed 947 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns in five conference games. Lukes could be in for a big game tonight if he gets 20 touches again.

Keyon Mozee, Miami (OH) ($6.1K)

Mozee is much like Lukes. He gets the lion's share of the carries in his backfield. The bad news is that Mozee isn't involved in the passing game at all -- he hasn't caught a pass all season. The good news is that Mozee bottoms out at 15 carries. He has six straight games over 100 rushing yards. He has a puncher's chance at a seventh tonight.

Also consider Telly Johnson Jr., Northern Illinois ($7K); Jordon Simmons, Akron ($6.6K); Ky Thomas, Kent State ($5.4K)

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Wide Receivers

Adrian Norton, Akron ($7.4K)

Akron WR Adrian Norton is one of my favorite players in the country.

37 receptions 722 yards 7 touchdowns

36% Rec Yds Market Share

Upper-percentile athleticism

Norton has four touchdowns in the last three games. This Akron offense is looking good right now. Finley and Norton connected for a touchdown against NIU's tough defense last week. Forget his two receptions -- concentrate on the 12 targets. He should haul in at least half of those against Kent's defense.

Javon Tracy, Miami (OH) ($5.9K)

Tracy has 14 receptions over the last three games to lead the Redhawks. He has 279 yards and three touchdowns in that span as well. On a slate where WR production will decide the winners, I want the guaranteed touchdown and targets of Tracy.

Ahmarian Granger, Akron ($4.7K)

Granger has nine of his 15 receptions on the season in the last two games. He's becoming a favorite of Ben Finley and could be the sneaky receiver to vault us up the leaderboard.

Also consider: Chrishon McCray, Kent State ($7.4K); Trayvon Rudolph, Northern Illinois ($6.2K); Reggie Virgil, Miami (OH) ($5.7K)

DraftKings CFB Stacks

Akron

Kent has easily the worst defense on the slate. Finley to Norton is something to build around. Ahmarian Granger has come on strong lately. I like Bobby Golden as well, but I'm not sure we need three Akron receivers. Jordon Simmons is a solid pick, but Tahj Bullock sniping his touchdowns is annoying.

Western Michigan

Jaden Nixon and Jalen Buckley are a strong 1-2 punch out of the backfield. Wolff is solid but unspectacular. Kenneth Womack is probably the only receiver I trust right now for the Broncos.

Also consider: Kent State, Miami (OH)
