Mike's DraftKings daily fantasy college football lineup picks for the Saturday Late Night Week 9 (10/29/22) slate. His CFB DFS lineup picks and DFS sleepers will help you win.
Had enough? I didn't think so! It's not over until we say it is! I want to watch college football until my eyes bleed. You must as well otherwise you wouldn't be here!
We have another larger slate than usual this week. We finish off with four games tonight. The first three are on the left coast and we end up on the islands with Wyoming taking on the Warriors. On the mainland we have Stanford in the Rose Bowl, the Aztecs up in Fresno, and the Pack heading to San Jose to take on the Spartans. This is going to be a really nice nightcap!
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy college football lineup picks for DraftKings on 10/29/22 locking at 10:30 pm 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.
DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Quarterbacks
Dorian Thompson-Robinson, UCLA ($8,900)
DTR has been a little more successful on the ground than through the air in his career against the Cardinal. This year, I'm not sure it matters. The Cardinal haven't been terrible defensively. It's just that DTR is a different player. He's a more selective passer, which had made him a better passer. He doesn't have those single-digit floor games anymore. DTR is as much of a sure thing as you'll find on this slate.
Jalen Mayden, San Diego State ($6,000)
DK woke up and raised Mayden's price by $1,500. It's still not enough. He's not the most accurate guy in the world, but he showed some wheels last week against Nevada and still hasn't turned the ball over. It's a breath of fresh air from where the Aztecs were in Week 5. We are just scratching the surface of what Mayden can do in this offense. I'm still along for the ride!
Also consider: Chevan Cordeiro, San Jose State ($8,500); Andrew Peasley, Wyoming ($6,200); Tanner McKee, Stanford ($5,600)

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Running Backs
Zach Charbonnet, UCLA (7,800)
The Bruins are just winding up Charbonnet and letting him go. He has six touchdowns over the last four games and has reached 100+ yards in all of those games. Oh, and he's catching passes too. Charbonnet has at least 20 touches in each of the last three games, all against the upper echelon of the Pac. He should see another healthy workload against the Cardinal.
Titus Swen, Wyoming ($6,400)
The Cowboys ran wild on Utah State last week and considering that Hawaii has allowed 212 rushing yards per game this year, the same should happen again. Swen went for a career-high 160 and three touchdowns on the Aggies last week. What can he do for an encore? I don't know if it will be that high, but it's certainly possible.
D.Q. James, Wyoming ($3,000)
The dude ran for 120 yards last week and is still minimum price. It wasn't an aberration. It wasn't a blowout. James got his carries in the natural flow of the game. The Cowboys are going to pound Hawaii on the ground as well. Given how James performed last week, I'll be shocked if he doesn't get another 10-12 touches. At minimum price, that's a hell of a deal!
Also consider: Jordan Mims, Fresno State ($7,200); Kairee Robinson, San Jose State ($6,100); Caleb Robinson, Stanford ($4,800)
DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Wide Receivers
Jake Bobo, UCLA ($6,900)
The Duke transfer has quietly become the favorite receiver of DTR. He has five touchdowns over the last three games alone with two of those games in triple digits for yardage. When the Bruins are near the end zone, Bobo is about the only guy they are looking to throw it to. I don't know that I would run Bobo with Charbonnet, but I'll run each of them with DTR as my core in two separate lines.
Elijah Cooks, San Jose State ($6,400)
Cooks racked up a staggering 15 targets against Fresno in the last game for the Spartans. That was his second instance of over a dozen targets in the last three games. The Spartans have talent in the receiver room, but it appears as if Cooks is the favorite of Cordeiro. He's worth paying up for if he's going to continue seeing that kind of volume.
Elijah Higgins, Stanford ($4,700)
The Cardinals picked up the win last week without the benefit of a touchdown for the first time in 27 years. That's not really what we want to hear, but there are some fantasy-relevant players on the Stanford offense. Topping that list is Higgins. He has at least four receptions in each of the last five games. That may not sound like much, but it has allowed him to top double digits in all of those games. Higgins is also getting carries out of the backfield because of injuries. He has a great floor and solid upside, which is hard to find in the bargain tier.
Also consider: Jalen Cropper, Fresno State ($7,500); Zion Bowens, Hawaii ($6,300); Brycen Tremaine, Stanford ($5,000); Benjamin Yurosek, Stanford ($4,300)
