DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football (11/21/23)

This is the last day of 50 consecutive days of either FBS football or NFL football. It has been a fun ride and I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! Tomorrow all players get an extra day with family before the Egg Bowl on Thursday night. We have a busy Friday and then our last Saturday of the last great college football season. All of these playoff games in the middle of the season will be greatly missed by me.

The 2023 version of MACtion ends tonight with two games on tap. We start at the normal time in Kalamazoo with Bowling Green visiting Western Michigan. A half-hour later, MACtion officially ends with Eastern Michigan heading to Buffalo.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy college football lineup picks for DraftKings on 11/21/23, locking at 7 PM Eastern. I’ll provide multiple player suggestions 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 For November 21

I don't have the full odds article done yet, so we are just going to do this here. That's what Tuesday games do to me. You know the drill!

Bowling Green (-2.5) at Western Michigan

Betting Confidence Factor: 3

I understand that the Falcons are already bowling and that the Broncos have nothing to play for. That Western offense was so bad last week. I can't possibly take them. Give me Bowling Green.

Eastern Michigan at Buffalo (-6.5)

Betting Confidence Factor: 2

I still don't trust that Buffalo defense and the Eagles get to a bowl with a win. I'll say Eastern pulls it off.

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Quarterbacks

Austin Smith, Eastern Michigan ($6,800)

The Eagles need a win in Buffalo to get that elusive bowl invite. Smith is the guy that could get it for them. He set a season-high in pass attempts (214) against Akron last week. He's still not recording multiple touchdowns (he has done so only once all season), but he should have the highest passing volume of anyone on this slate. Buffalo's pass defense has struggled this season, so Smith should be able to get his team to a bowl.

Connor Bazelak, Bowling Green ($6,500)

Yeah, Camden Orth is stealing snaps. It's just a fact of Bowling Green life. He was just 3-for-11 passing last week, so Orth is in there mostly to run. Bazelak's numbers really haven't suffered. He just doesn't run as much (which wasn't much...and wasn't why we play him anyway). We're after Bazelak because he's consistent and doesn't make mistakes. He's not going to win us a slate, but he won't lose us one either.

Also consider: Hayden Wolff, Western Michigan ($6,900)

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Running Backs

Ta'ron Keith, Bowling Green ($7,000)

The Falcons have already clinched a bowl berth and won't really help their bowl invite any with a win here. Therefore, they don't have a good reason to risk the health of Terion Stewart. I would expect Bowling Green to hold him out again to rest him for the bowl. Even if Stewart is healthy enough to play, I would expect Keith to still get most of the carries. Both are good options, but I'm leaning toward Keith here.

Samson Evans, Eastern Michigan ($6,500)

Evans was a short-yardage bulldozer last week against Akron. The Eagles have turned into their namesake – they are operating a lot more through the air. Evans still had 15 carries for 71 yards, but the three touchdowns vaulted us up the leaderboard. Buffalo's run D leaves a lot to be desired. I see another strong night from Evans here.

Also consider: Jalen Buckley, Western Michigan ($7,100); Ron Cook, Buffalo ($5,700)

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Wide Receivers

Harold Fannin, Bowling Green ($6,100)

Fannin has 14 receptions for 273 yards and four touchdowns over the last three games alone. He's a tight end in name only. Fannin is targeted about as much as the receivers in this offense and is outperforming all of them lately. Fanniun has even seen some carries out of the backfield. The Falcons are getting him the ball any way they can.

Tanner Knue, Eastern Michigan ($5,300)

Knue was expected to take another step forward this year, but inconsistent play at quarterback hurt him for much of the season. Austin Smith is getting better and Knue had arguably his best game of the season against Akron last week. The eight receptions were a season-high. The Eagles are going to need another big game from Knue to get a bowl invite. I expect him to come through.

Odieu Hiliare, Bowling Green ($4,600)

Never forget what Hiliare is capable of. Bazelak spreads the ball around a little more this year, but Hiliare has still made his share of highlight-reel grabs this season. His targets are slowly ticking upward, so I'm playing him in case he explodes against the Broncos.

Also consider: Kenneth Womack, Western Michigan ($5,800); Hamze El-Zayat, Eastern Michigan ($4,900); Marlyn Johnson, Buffalo ($4,700)

DraftKings CFB Stacks:

Eastern Michigan

The Eagles have the most to play for and play the worst defense (other than their own) on the slate. That earns them top billing. I like what I've seen out of Smith lately. Tanner Knue and Hamze El-Zayat are affordable pieces to use him with and I'm still a sucker for Iowa transfer Samson Evans. There is a load of talent on this offense.

Also consider: Bowling Green, Buffalo
