DraftKings is ignoring the MAC makeup game at noon thanks to Snowmageddon, but we still have two conference championship games to feast on. You know these four teams have some really good players, so we won't be digging deep for talent!
We start off in the Alamodome with UTSA hosting a North Texas team that they beat by four points back on October 22 with a touchdown with 15 seconds left. The winner is the Conference USA champ. We finish in Sin City with Utah and USC tangling for the Pac-12 title. USC is trying to avenge their only loss of the season in Salt Lake when the Utes won on a two-point conversion to take a one-point win.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy college football lineup picks for DraftKings on 12/2/22 locking at 7:30 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
Caleb Williams, USC ($8,800)
Williams put up his highest DraftKings point total of the season on the Utes in Salt Lake in Week 7 with 43.94 points. He threw five touchdown passes without a turnover and racked up 381 passing yards while running for 55. This game is on a national stage at a more East-coast friendly start time, so Williams can solidify his trip to New York with another huge performance here. We may even see him on the Heisman House commercials next year.
Frank Harris, UTSA ($6,100)
Harris had a fairly pedestrian game against North Texas the first time around, but he still ran for 75 yards in that game. Cam Rising isn't going to run for three touchdowns on the Trojans again. I'm being more realistic about his output. I'm also being more realistic about Harris's. He averaged 30.7 DraftKings points per game this year. I expect bigger numbers against North Texas this time around. That said, Aune is REALLY cheap and he had a solid game against the Roadrunners the first time around.
Also consider: Cameron Rising, Utah ($8,000); Austin Aune, North Texas ($5,100)

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Running Backs
Austin Jones, USC ($6,000)
Travis Dye had a productive day against the Utes back in October, so it stands to reason that Jones can here as well. The difference is that Jones will come about $1500 cheaper than Dye did in the game in Salt Lake. Jones doesn't have the upside that Dye had, but he plays for the most potent offense on the slate and is the unquestioned lead back in that offense now. He's underpriced for the potential.
Kevorian Barnes, UTSA ($4,400)
The freshman Barnes will get the start against the Mean Green with Brendan Brady out. There is a slight chance that Trelon Smith could play, but it sounds like he would be a backup if he did. You can play roulette with the North Texas backs if you like with their vague reporting of who will be available, but if you can't keep tabs on it until kickoff, Barnes is the safe choice. However, if Ragsdale is the starer for North Texas again, I'm jumping off Barnes for him.
Also consider: Micah Bernard, Utah ($5,700); Ikaika Ragsdale, North Texas ($3,500)
DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Wide Receivers
Dalton Kincaid, Utah ($6,600)
Kincaid broke the slate against the Trojans in Week 7. He hauled in a staggering 16 passes for 234 yards and a touchdown for 48.4 DraftKings points. We can't realistically expect that kind of output again, but Kincaid is still a target hog and by far the most reliable receiver on this team. I'll be shocked if he doesn't break 20. He's by far the most consistent receiver at the top and his upside is as good as anyone.
Joshua Cephus, UTSA ($6,300)
I'm a Zakhari Franklin truther, but I think Cephus might be in for the better game here. North Texas held Franklin to a subpar game in the first meeting and it was De'Corian Clark that stepped up. Clark is done for the season with a leg injury, so I expect Cephus to fill that role here. Cephus only needs 99 yards for a 1,000-yard season. He might get that in this one.
Tahj Washington, USC ($5,300)
Even with USC having the whole stable of receivers at their disposal, Washington caught the only passing touchdown from Caleb Williams against the Irish last week. He was third in targets behind Addison and Mario Williams, but Tahj grabbing those red-zone targets is more important to me. He's a huge discount over Addison and is just as likely to score a touchdown.
Also consider: Jordan Addison, USC ($7,400); Zakhari Franklin, UTSA ($6,900); Roderic Burns, North Texas ($5,600); Mario Williams, USC ($5,100)
