We still get one night of MACtion during Thanksgiving week, so we can be thankful for that. It gets really busy on Friday and Saturday this week with all 134 FBS teams playing another FBS team this week. We'll enjoy this warmup as we say farewell to MACtion for 2024. It was a short, but fun, ride.
Both games start at the same time tonight, giving us a fast and furious four hours to declare a winner. Enjoy it! This is the last time it will happen this year! Toledo heads to Akron and Kent heads to Buffalo to close out MACtion for 2024.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy college football lineup picks for DraftKings on 11/26/24, 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!
Toledo (-8.5) at Akron
Betting Pick Confidence Factor: 2
There's a reason why this line is down. Akron is 4-1-1 against the spread since the end of September. Toledo is 3-5 in that span. I'm still rolling with Akron. If they bust the spread again, maybe they'll let me wear the tire.
Kent State at Buffalo (-21.5)
Betting Pick Confidence Factor: 1
Ouch! I don't like the half and Buffalo isn't really built to cover lines like this. Give me Kent, I guess.
DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Quarterbacks
CJ Ogbonna, Buffalo ($7.5K)
CJ Ogbonna in a 37-20 win @ Eastern Michigan : 18/28 for 260 yards, 3 TD's & a 64.5 QBR; 10 carries for 42 yards
JJ Jenkins : 5 catches for 120 yards & a TD (4 catches for 115 yards & a TD at halftime) pic.twitter.com/N6yWEYV67F— Lee Harvey (@MusikFan4Life) November 21, 2024
We could see another huge game out of Ogbonna tonight against Kent's dreadful defense. Ogbonna has at least 200 passing yards in five straight games and has topped 40 yards rushing in each of the last three. He has a high ceiling against Kent depending on how long the Bulls leave him out there.
Ben Finley, Akron ($6.6K)
Finley wasn't efficient against Kent last week, which is a bit concerning. However, he didn't turn the ball over for the second straight week. That's Tommy Ulatowski's issue. Turnovers. Finley is much easier to trust.
Also consider: Tucker Gleason, Toledo ($7.8K); Tommy Ulatowski, Kent State ($6K)

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Running Backs
Al-Jay Henderson, Buffalo ($6.9K)
Henderson gets a lot of touches and always winds up in the end zone. That's a great combination against a Kent team that has a problem keeping opposing players out of the end zone. Henderson should be in for another big game tonight. He has 84.5 DraftKings points in three mid-week MACtion games.
Jacquez Stuart, Toledo ($5.6K)
This is a tough one. Toledo has a great matchup for running backs but all four of Toledo's backs were terrible last week. The Rockets got behind and abandoned the run, which didn't help, but there was no excuse for Stuart to have negative yards. One of these Toledo backs should pop off but which one? Stuart is usually the best, but that means nothing in this backfield.
Also consider: Jordon Simmons, Akron ($6.6K); Ky Thomas, Kent State ($4.9K)
DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Wide Receivers
Adrian Norton, Akron ($7.2K)
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 four games. This Akron offense is looking good right now. Norton racked up 107 yards on Kent last week but he didn't find the end zone. That should change against Toledo. Finley looks to Norton far more than any other Akron receiver.
JJ Jenkins, Buffalo ($5.6K)
Jenkins has 13 receptions for 251 yards and two touchdowns over the last two games. Ogbonna has looked to Jenkins with defenses going after Victor Snow lately. Make the shift to Jenkins. He should top 100 yards again tonight.
Ahmarian Granger, Akron ($4.7K)
I drank the Granger Kool-Aid last week and he didn't catch a pass. Akron is going to need him to top Toledo though, so I'll throw a dart in a GPP in case Toledo figures out how to cover Norton.
Also consider: Chrishon McCray, Kent State ($7.4K); Victor Snow, Buffalo ($6.1K); Anthony Torres, Toledo ($4K)
DraftKings CFB Stacks
Buffalo
This is THE stack and it's not close. Ogbonna, Henderson, and Jenkins are in for monster games. I don't mind throwing in Snow for a fourth Buffalo piece. The volume should be there.
Also consider: Akron, Kent State
