It's the return of the MAC! We have some midweek MACtion for you from now until the end of the season. All 12 MAC teams will play on Tuesdays and Wednesdays this month because they are wise enough to know that WE NEED MORE COLLEGE FOOTBALL! Yes, we here at RotoBaller love the MACtion as much as you do!
The early kick sees my nemesis, Eastern Michigan, travelling to Akron. A half-hour later we have Ohio heading to Oxford for The Battle Of The Bricks. We close this three-gamer out with Ball State heading for the Glass Bowl. This is going to be fun!
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy college football lineup picks for DraftKings on 11/8/22 locking at 7:00 pm Eastern time. 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.

CFB Betting Picks for Week 11 (11/8)
I haven't had time to watch all of the games from last weekend yet, so I haven't tallied the results. For the MAC slates, I will provide all of the picks against the spread along with the DFS picks.
Eastern Michigan(-7.5) at Akron
Betting Pick Confidence Factor: 1
I am sooooo done with Eastern Michigan. Give me Akron, but I'm not touching this. Losing 28 points on the Eagles is enough...
Ohio(-1,5) at Miami(OH)
Betting Pick Confidence Factor: 3
Ohio's defense has stepped up and that offense is still dangerous. Give me Ohio.
Ball State at Toledo(-11.5)
Betting Pick Confidence Factor: 3
This feels high whether Dequan Finn plays or not. Carson Steele is a good back. I think this stays within ten. Give me the Fighting Lettermans.
DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Quarterbacks
Kurtis Rourke, Ohio ($8,200)
This is a steep price for Rourke, but he put up some huge numbers against Buffalo last week. Rourke still has the highest ceiling on the slate. Miami's defense has been pretty good, but Rourke is nearly a lock for 300 passing yards at this point and is likely going to pick up another 50 on the ground. I will have Rourke in every cash lineup.
D.J. Irons, Akron ($7,100)
Irons has cleared 300 passing yards in three of his last four games and is picking up some rushing yards as well. I can't really cite any stats pertaining to Eastern Michigan because it really won't matter anyway. Sometimes the play really well. Most of the time they don't. They're due for a clunker after beating Toledo.
Also consider: Dequan Finn, Toledo ($7,800); Brett Gabbert, Miami(OH) ($7,000)

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Running Backs
Carson Steele, Ball State ($7,500)
Steele is coming off of a career-high 192 rushing yards against Kent. That's repeatable against a Toledo team that has allowed 642 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns in the last four games. I don't expect Toledo to run off with this game like some do. Ball State is going to stay close, keeping Steele fantasy-relevant until late in the game.
Jacquez Stuart, Toledo ($4,100)
Finn takes away some of the upside, but not enough that Stuart should be this cheap. Both he and Peny Boone get plenty of work out of the backfield alongside Finn. I'm taking Stuart because he is only $100 more than Boone and still gets around twice the touches. Neither one are a bad option though.
Also consider: Samson Evans, Eastern Michigan ($7,100); Sieh Bangura, Ohio ($7,000); Clyde Price, Akron ($3,000)
DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Wide Receivers
Sam Wiglusz, Ohio ($6,800)
Wiglusz has seven touchdowns over the last five games and has topped 100 yards in four of those. Ohio's defense has tightened up of late which has led to a few less opportunities for the offense. It hasn't mattered much. Wiglusz still has been very productive as Rourke's favorite target. That's going to continue against the Redhawks.
Mac Hippenhammer, Miami(OH) ($5,600)
The return of Brett Gabbert has helped out Hippenhammer quite a bit. In the two games with Gabbert back behind center, Mac has nine receptions for 116 yards. Those aren't great numbers, but that's what constitutes volume in this offense. Those touchdowns will come. Mac will be targeted early and often in The Battle Of The Bricks.
DeMeer Blankumsee, Toledo ($4,500)
Blankumsee is the Toledo receiver taking all of the targets lately. Teams are keying in on Maddox, so Blankumsee has 13 receptions for 218 yards and a touchdown over the last two games. It's worth it at this price to see if Blankumsee can keep this up.
Also consider: Jayshon Jackson, Ball State ($6,500); Hassan Beydoun, Eastern Michigan ($5,900); Yo'Heinz Tyler, Ball State ($5,400); Devin Maddox, Toledo ($4,900)
