We have another huge slate with 14 games going on for the main slate. There are some big ones on here! We get started with the Battle for the Boot with LSU heading up to Arkansas. Missouri heads up to Rocky Top to really test that defense out. Oklahoma heads out to Morgantown. We have Virginia Tech heading to Durham. Indiana is heading for the Shoe. We have Purdue in Champaign. SMU looks to keep piling up the points in Tampa against USF. We have the Irish heading to Annapolis to finish off the noon games.
The afternoon starts with Alabama in Oxford to take on Ole Miss. Iowa State heads to Stillwater. Louisville heads down to take on a pretty upset Clemson team. Maryland heads up to College Station. Nebraska is visiting the Big House. We finish this off with Central Florida in Nawlins to take on Tulane.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy college football lineup picks for DraftKings on 11/12/22 locking at noon 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.

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Quarterbacks
Jayden Daniels, LSU ($8,500)
After a miserable game against Auburn and a lost cause against Tennessee, something clicked for Daniels. He has 135.16 DraftKings points in wins over Florida, Mississippi, and Aladamnbama. What's the trick? LSU is finally letting Daniels be himself. He was apprehensive in this offense early in the season, but in the last three games, Daniels has seven passing touchdowns, seven rushing touchdowns, and not a single turnover. He could be in for another monster against a porous Arkansas defense.
Tanner Mordecai, SMU ($8,100)
Mordecai must have heard me when I said that there wasn't much of a drop-off between him and Preston Stone. In his return to the field after being hurt against Cincinnati in Week 8, all Mordecai did was set a school record with nine touchdown passes and helped the Ponies set the school record for points in a game with 77. So yes, this price feels low.
Michael Pratt, Tulane ($6,100)
Pratt has back-to-back games under 200 passing yards, but he should be in line for a reprieve against a Central Florida defense that has allowed 241 passing yards per game this season. I don't expect monster numbers from Pratt with the way that Tulane has been running the ball, but he should have a good game for the price, especially if UCF controls the tempo of the game.
Katravis Marsh, South Florida ($5,000)
Marsh put up solid numbers on a good Tulane pass defense last week. He's going to turn the ball over, but Marsh has shown the ability to move the ball up and down the field and will have the touchdowns to offset any errors. SMU just got torched by Clayton Tune through the air last week. Marsh isn't going to light them up as much, but he might hit 5x value, which is unheard of in college DFS.
Also consider: C.J. Stroud, Ohio State ($9,500); Dillon Gabriel, Oklahoma ($8,000); Malik Cunningham, Louisville ($7,600); JT Daniels, West Virginia ($6,700); Grant Wells, Virginia Tech ($6,000); Hunter Dekkers, Iowa State ($5,700)

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Running Backs
Blake Corum, Michigan ($8,300)
Nebraska's run defense has still been solid, but if the offense is unable to move the ball again, Michigan will wear them down more quickly than Minnesota did. Corum has at least 100 rushing yards in six straight games and has scored at least one touchdown in every game. Michigan has played several teams better than Nebraska. I'm not worried about Corum's output.
Tyjae Spears, Tulane ($6,500)
Spears has 433 rushing yards and four touchdowns over the last three games. The Wave has transitioned to more of a power run game lately and Spears is at the epicenter of it. UCF has allowed seven rushing touchdowns over the last three games. There is potential here with the way Spears has been running.
Kaytron Allen, Penn State ($5,700)
Committees for running backs suck, but Allen may have earned himself the majority of the carries after his performance last week against Indiana. The game got away from the Hoosiers, but Allen was still getting good carries before that happened. Allen has seven receptions and four touchdowns over the last three games. He is becoming the most trusted back in the Penn State backfield.
Josh Williams, LSU ($4,100)
Williams only netted seven carries in the upset win over Alabama, but he made the most of them with 54 yards and a touchdown. He also caught three passes for the second straight game. LSU's backfield situation is still a bit murky, but Williams still gets a large enough share of the touches to pay off this low price.
Also consider: Jahmyr Gibbs, Alabama ($8,700); Chase Brown, Illinois ($8,100); Devin Mockobee, Purdue ($5,800); Donovan Edwards, Michigan ($5,600); Cody Shrader, Missouri ($4,500); Tyler Lavine, SMU ($3,400)
DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Wide Receivers
Rashee Rice, SMU ($8,400)
Considering that SMU scored 77 points in regulation last week, Rice's output almost felt disappointing. He still caught nine passes and still caught two touchdowns. At that point, the yardage total doesn't much matter. SMU's high-powered passing attack is taking on a South Florida team that has allowed 289 passing yards per game and 16 passing touchdowns over the last five games. SMU is in for another big week. This could be the week Rice goes nuclear.
Marvin Harrison Jr., Ohio State ($7,900)
We can throw out what the Buckeyes looked like last week in the poor weather in Evanston. This offense will be back to flying high again that has had a rough go of things on the back end against anyone not named Rutgers or Idaho. I would look for Ohio State to make a statement in this one to try to prove last week was a fluke.
Xavier Weaver, South Florida ($5,900)
Hey, SMU doesn't score 77 points in regulation unless their defense struggles too. Houston tore up the SMU defense. I don't know that I trust Marsh to do the same on a consistent basis, but I trust Weaver to do great things with the ball in his hands. Weaver has double-digit DraftKings points in every game this season.
Kaleb Smith, Virginia Tech ($5,200)
Smith mostly relies on big plays to get his output, but this Virginia Tech offense hasn't been stuck in perpetual neutral anymore. Wells and the receivers, particularly Smith, are starting to get more comfortable with each other. His recent output suggests that Smith is the favorite target of Wells. There's not a lot of value at WR on this slate, so I'm comfortable with Smith for this price.
Also consider: Xavier Hutchinson, Iowa State (8,300); Charlie Jones, Purdue ($8,100); Marvin Mims, Oklahoma ($7,200); Jonathan Mingo, Mississippi ($6,400); Kayshon Boutte, LSU ($5,300)
College Football DFS Game Stack Options
You know which team stacks are often good, but this isn't baseball. Game stacks can and do work. Just look at Alabama-Tennessee in Week 7. That game made several DFS players a few thousand bucks. Who can do that this week? Let's check it out!
SMU at South Florida
I like a lot of pieces of this game. The over/under sits at a lofty 72.5 already and may go higher. You have to use both quarterbacks in this one because it makes the stack affordable and lets you pay for a stud WR or RB out of the stack. I really love Tyler Lavine for the price if Tre Siggers is out again. If he's not, I'm avoiding the SMU backfield. Rice and Xavier Weaver are must-haves. RJ Maryland is probably my favorite SMU receiver outside of Rice right now.
Oklahoma at West Virginia
Any game with Oklahoma involved is defense optional. I like Dillon Gabriel enough to use him, but JT Daniels is a harder sell at the price. Still, starting with a core of Mims/Gabriel/Daniels/Bryce Ford-Wheaton/Sam James is super tempting. Eric Gray is the running back to use in this game, but Justin Johnson is just cheap enough to make me think twice.
Honorable Mention: Alabama at Mississippi, Central Florida at Tulane
