We have reached the end of the line for the last great football season. This is the last of the late-night slates as we know them. They may still exist, but they may not. If this is the end, I'll miss it. We celebrate insomnia with football around here and I'm glad you joined me!
We close this out with Cal in the Rose Bowl taking on UCLA. Fresno heads to San Diego where they got the brand-new stadium but forgot how to play football. We end in Hawaii with Colorado State getting a reprieve from the Fort Collins cold and getting a few days in paradise.
In this article, I will provide you with my daily fantasy college football lineup picks for DraftKings on 11/25/23, locking at 10:30 PM Eastern. I’ll provide multiple 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
Brayden Schager, Hawaii ($7,800)
Even when Nevada and Air Force tried to play keep-away from Schager and the Rainbow offense, Schager still hit his mark. He still turned in a decent outing in Laramie even though Hawaii only scored nine points. I'll trust volume here as I always do where Schager is concerned. He'll throw enough to get me what I need.
Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi ($6,800)
The resemblance between the two quarterbacks in this game is noticeable. Both throw a lot of passes while throwing their share of risky passes. They are able to shake off picks with the best of them, and they need to. That said, Fowler Nicolosi has only thrown four of his 15 interceptions in the last five games. He's improving because the volume isn't really going down. San Diego State and Nevada played keep-away, but he still attempted 30 passes and went over 200 yards. Fowler-Nicolosi has every bit of upside that Schager has.
Also consider: Mikey Keene, Fresno State ($8,800); Ethan Garbers, UCLA ($6,600)

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Running Backs
Jaydn Ott, California ($7,600)
You love to see the guy make the smart play even if it hurts your fantasy score. Whey am I bringing this up now? Coach Justin Wilcox let Ott know that he sees the sacrifice.
That sounds to me like Cal is going to feed Ott a lot here. This is a tough matchup, but Ott is a horse. He still racked up 20.8 DraftKings points against Oregon and 17.4 against Utah when both teams tried to take Ott out of the game. Cal just figured out how to get him the ball in different situations.
Justin Marshall, Colorado State ($3,900)
The freshman has 37 carries for 227 yards and a touchdown in the last two games, effectively taking over the Colorado State running back job. DraftKings is asleep at the wheel here. Lock in Marshall. He enables so many other plays and there is virtually no risk!
Also consider: Carson Steele, UCLA ($6,300)
DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Wide Receivers
Pofele Ashlock, Hawaii ($6,700)
Steven McBride and Ashlock go back and forth with who has the better games. McBride is the guy who sees more targets, but Ashlock hauled in 21 passes against the defenses of Air Force and Nevada. You can't go wrong with either one of them, so it might depend on your build. If you are in a cash game or a small-field single-entry GPP, McBride is a safer play. Use Ashlock in larger field GPPs.
Jaelen Moss, Fresno State ($6,500)
Mikey Keene is finally back for Fresno. It's too little too late as far as the Mountain West title is concerned, but we still have DFS to worry about. The Fresno receivers were neutered by Logan Fife. No one had big games with Fife back there. I expect all of them to get back to their pre-injury to Keene production.
Trond Grizzell, California ($4,800)
The emergence of Fernando Mendoza led to a breakout for Grizzell. Grizzell has 17 of his 33 receptions in the last three games alone along with 277 of his 498 yards and three of his five touchdowns. DraftKings has been slow to adjust the price, but I'm not slow to adjust to playing him. Grizzell will find the going tougher against UCLA, but not so tough that Grizzell will be a disappointment at this price.
Also consider: Tory Horton, Colorado State ($7,300); Justin Ross-Simmons, Colorado State ($6,400); Mac Dalena, Fresno State ($5,200)
DraftKings CFB Stacks:
Colorado State
This offense is fun and cheap, which means you can play just about whatever else you want with Fowler-Nicolosi and Justin Marshall. Tory Horton will only be used by me in stacks. He has tremendous upside, but lately, Ross-Simmons has been out-performing him in price-per-dollar. In a stack, I will use all four.
Also consider: Fresno State, Hawaii
