DraftKings Late Night CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football (10/26/24)

Are you ready to be done yet? You know that I'm not! We still have some football out West to end our all-day college football tilt-fest. Welcome my insomniac friends! We're going to have some fun tonight with these three games!

It starts in Boulder with Cincinnati visiting the Ralphies. Next up is Washington State in San Diego to face the Aztecs. We finish this off on Sunday on the Islands with Nevada visiting Hawaii. This is a low-key fun slate!

In this article, I will provide you with my daily fantasy college football lineup picks for DraftKings on 10/26/24, locking at 10:15 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.

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Quarterbacks

Shedeur Sanders, Colorado ($9.1K)

We have seen Sanders go better with accuracy this year. Some of it is the work that he puts in. Another part is the offensive line improving. If this game stays close (which it should), Sanders is a lock for 300 yards. With John Mateer running less, I'm going after Sanders and the upside in a close game.

Danny O'Neil, San Diego State ($5.8K)

O'Neil is the best quarterback the Aztecs have had in about a decade. That's not saying much. He completes a lot of short passes and doesn't turn the ball over. By the time the game is done, he usually has a bit over 200 yards and a touchdown. He's boring, but that's perfect for cash games on a slate that could be volatile.

Also consider John Mateer, Washington State ($10K); Brendan Sorsby, Cincinnati ($7.2K)

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Running Backs

Marquez Cooper, San Diego State ($7.2K)

San Diego State went away from the workhorse back for the last few years, but he's back in the form of Cooper. Cooper has 125 touches over the last four games. Volume, people. Learn it. Love it. Live it.

Savion Red, Nevada ($5.8K)

The Texas transfer has done everything for the Pack this year. He catches passes, he scores at will (five touchdowns in the last two games). Red can handle a lot of carries. With Nevada wanting to keep the ball away from the Hawaii offense, expect that to be the case in Paradise tonight.

Also consider: Corey Kiner, Cincinnati ($5.5K); Isaiah Augustave, Colorado ($3.3K);

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Wide Receivers

Travis Hunter, Colorado ($8.4K)

Hunter has been limited over the last two games, but against Arizona, it was because Colorado had no reason to push him. Yes, he wants to play. The coach did the right thing for the player by holding him out in the second half of the blowout.

If this game stays close, Hunter will be back to the largest workload in college again. It's obviously not affecting his receiving skills. If anything, it's making him better.

Pofele Ashlock, Hawaii ($6.4K)

Ashlock missed the Washington State game with a concussion but was active in practice all week. That suggests that Ashlock will return tonight. The Warriors looked lost without him last week. Ashlock has at least eight receptions in each of the last three games he finished.

Jaden Smith, Nevada ($5K)

Smith has at least three catches and 75 yards in each of the last three games. He has also scored three touchdowns. Brendon Lewis is a game-time decision, but Chubba Purdy's arm is good enough for Smith to thrive no matter who is throwing to him.

Also consider Xzavier Henderson, Cincinnati ($6.5K); LaJohntay Wester, Colorado ($5.2K); Kris Hutson, Washington State ($4.8K)

DraftKings CFB Stacks

San Diego State

Washington State's defense hasn't been good and the Aztecs are cheap. You can stack O'Neil, his favorite receiver Jordan Napier, and Cooper for just $17.7K. That leaves $32.3K left for the other five slots. You can do a lot with that money, making an Aztec stack not only sneaky but one that lets you afford a couple of stars as well.

Also consider: Nevada, Colorado
