We are one week away from a monster college football slate. Tonight only has three games, but they feature a few intriguing players. The Big Ten (18) game might be the dud of the slate!
We begin in San Antonio with Temple heading south. Next up is Purdue and Michigan State from East Lansing. We end in the Bay Area with UNLV taking on San Jose State.
In this article, I will provide my daily fantasy college football lineup picks for DraftKings on 11/22/24, 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 salary scale's high, middle, and lower end. Good luck, RotoBallers.
DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Quarterbacks
Hajj-Malik Williams, UNLV ($9.5K)
Allegiant Stadium? Nah. Hajj Mahal.

Six of those seven rushing touchdowns have come in the last four games. Williams rarely makes mistakes and is a dangerous passer as well. He's expensive but worth it on a slate where the quarterback position is surprisingly deep for a three-game slate. I expect many to pay down and hope Hajj doesn't go off.
Aidan Chiles, Michigan State ($5.5K)
Purdue is allowing 252.4 passing yards per game. That's not bad, and neither are the 19 touchdowns. The bad news is that they give up 203.3 rushing yards per game and have allowed 29 touchdowns in 10 games. Chiles is a good enough runner to take some of those yards and maybe a rushing touchdown to go with his solid passing stats. This is a dream matchup with a very low price.
Also consider: Owen McCown, UTSA ($8K); Walker Eget, San Jose State ($6.4K)

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Running Backs
Robert Henry Jr., UTSA ($5.7K)
Temple is allowing 215.1 rushing yards per game. Henry had a huge game last week after UTSA got ahead early and used Henry to help run out the clock. That scenario could unfold again with Temple being a heavy underdog in this game.
Nate Carter, Michigan State ($5K)

Carter has had a hard time getting loose in conference play, but facing Purdue's defense will be a reprieve. I mentioned how the Boilermakers have struggled to stop the run. This could be a huge game for Carter and Kay'Ron Lynch-Adams.
Also consider: Jai'Den Thomas, UNLV ($6K); Devin Mockobee, Purdue ($4.4K)
DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Wide Receivers
Nick Nash, San Jose State ($9.7K)

You know that I'm a big Ricky White III fan, but Nash is the play tonight, and it's not close. He has at least five receptions in every game and has seen double figures four times. Nash has been below 90 yards (75 against Nevada) just once this season. He also has at least one touchdown in every single game. The Spartans have had issues at QB, but it hasn't mattered. That's how good Nash is.
Dante Wright, Temple ($7.5K)
The Owls throw a lot because they are always behind. That gives Wright a nice floor as the preferred target of Evan Simon. Wright has at least 90 receiving yards in five of the seven games that he has played in. He returned against FAU last week and caught 14 passes for 147, He is the focal point of this offense right now.
Justin Lockhart, San Jose State ($5.9K)
It's incredible that Lockhart can sustain his value while Nash is having games like he does. Lockhart has at least 60 receiving yards in every game since Week 3 and has been over 90 yards in four straight. The issue is that he has only scored one touchdown that span and only has four on the season. Still, those yards (and bonuses) add up quickly.
Also consider: Ricky White III, UNLV ($9K); Willie McCoy, UTSA ($5.9K); Nick Marsh, Michigan State ($5.1K); Max Klare, Purdue ($4.8K); David Amador II, UTSA ($4.5K)
DraftKings CFB Stacks
UTSA
Temple is bad on defense across the field. McCown and Henry are two of my favorite plays on the slate. After that, it gets tricky. Willie McCoy has picked it up with Devin McCuin out, but McCuin has been week-to-week for a month now. He could return at any time. If he does, the value of McCoy and Adamor evaporates. If McCuin is still out, I like both if you want a five-man stack.
Michigan State
This is not a prolific offense, but Purdue's defense has made lesser offenses look prolific. I'm a big fan of Chiles and Carter tonight. Nick Marsh and Montorie Foster Jr. are strong options as well.
Also consider: UTSA, UNLV
