We have a big prime-time slate on Saturday night with the real Prime Time up in Fort Collins this week. UTSA heads up I-35 to Austin to tangle with Bevo. That gets started before everything else.
Air Force heads to Waco to take on Baylor. We have Georgia in Lexington to face Kentucky. Central Florida is in Fort Worth to take on TCU. Indiana is in L.A. to take on the Bruins. We close this out in Hooville with Maryland in Charlotteville.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy college football lineup picks for DraftKings on 9/14/24, locking at 7 p.m. EDT. 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.

The stats don't tell the whole story. A full-blown fight broke out during the game last year. There is trash talking abound leading up to this one. Both teams are mad about last year. You don't want to miss this game! Sanders has high upside in this one once again. He's worth paying for.
Anthony Colandrea, Virginia ($8.8K)
Maryland gave up some big plays through the air against Michigan State last week. Colandrea has 654 yards in two games. His right arm is leading Virginia to wins and optimism from the fan base. He has also carried the ball 24 times, so there is some rushing upside as well.
Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi, Colorado State ($6.3K)
Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi: Stat Line vs. Colorado

This is going to be another high-scoring affair. Fowler-Nicolosi's stat line was very good as a freshman last year against the Ralphies. His stats might even rival Shedeur's at a much lower price.
Also consider: Quinn Ewers, Texas ($9.2K); Billy Edwards Jr., Maryland ($7.8K); Dequan Finn, Baylor ($7.4K)

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Running Backs
Jaydon Blue, Texas ($6.6K)
This game will get out of hand, but hopefully Blue can put up enough stats first. Michigan bottled him up, but he still caught six passes and scored through the air. This slate is littered with tough matchups for backs. Blue has one of the easier ones, but the blowout risk lowers his ceiling.
Roman Hemby, Maryland ($5.8K)
Michigan State made life rough on Hemby last week, but he should bounce back here against Virginia. Hemby has yet to have a big game this year, so that is a little concerning. Still, this is a good matchup against Virginia, who gave up a ton of yards to Wake last week.
Justin Marshall, Colorado State ($4.7K)
Marshall ran for triple digits on Texas in a blowout loss. What do you think he is going to do to a Colorado team that has allowed 306 rushing yards and four touchdowns through two games? Marshall is way too cheap for the potential.
Also consider: R.J. Harvey, Central Florida ($8.5K); T.J. Harden, UCLA ($6.5K); Kobe Pace, Virginia ($5.2K); Quintrevion Wisner, Texas ($4.8K)
DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Wide Receivers
Travis Hunter, Colorado ($9.5K)
Hunter was taken out of the Colorado State game early by a cheap shot. He ended up with a lacerated liver and missed a couple of games aside from the rest of the Colorado State game. On top of that, the Rams are up there dishing out bulletin board material. I expect Hunter to go nuts in this one. You know he wants this game more than most.

The two sides have since met and reconciled, but you know Hunter is going to play with a chip in this one. That gives him the highest upside on the slate.
Malachi Fields, Virginia ($8.3K)
His catch radius is the building and the airspace above it. Fields has excellent hands and catches anything near him. He has 16 receptions for 248 yards already. The touchdowns will come at some point.
Tai Felton, Maryland ($6.5K)
Wake threw for over 400 yards on Virginia. We're going to see another monster game out of Felton. He has 330 yards on 18 catches in the first two games of the season. Catch him if you can!

Omar Cooper Jr., Indiana ($5.9K)
UCLA's sore spot is pass defense and Cooper is Indiana's leading receiver. This is Cooper's spot to shine. The Bruins are capable of shutting down the Indiana run game. We haven't seen the Hoosiers pass a whole lot yet, but we should see it here.
Also consider: Jimmy Horn Jr., Colorado (7.5K); Tory Horton, Colorado State ($7.1K); Savion Williams, TCU ($6.3K); Devin McCuin, UTSA ($5.2K); Rico Flores Jr., UCLA ($5K)
DraftKings CFB Stacks
Colorado
This is an expensive stack, but you can still fit Sanders, Jimmy Horn Jr., and Hunter in the same lineup if you get creative. There are several cheap receivers worth taking a shot on to make it fit.
Colorado State
The Colorado defense has struggled all season. Fowler-Nicolosi and Tory Horton are the two you want to start with. Justin Marshall might be my favorite play on the entire slate at that price.
Also consider: Texas, Virginia
