This is the best Friday of the year! You can let all of the shoppers in your family go out so you can enjoy all-day football! We have a large 11-game slate here for us to feast on after we got done stuffing ourselves yesterday. We even have a double-Bourguet day today! This starts at the same time as a normal Saturday slate, so we have two big days of college football this weekend! Let's get started!
We open up with Baylor heading down I-35 to Austin and Utah State heading to Boise. We also have Tulane in Cincinnati for a very important AAC game. We even have some MACtion early with Central Michigan heading east to Ypsilanti and Western hosting Toledo. The afternoon starts off with the Territorial Cup in Tucson at 3 eastern. A half-hour later we have Arkansas taking on Missouri and the battle of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. Colorado State also hosts New Mexico. A half-hour after that we have Iowa hosting a disappointing Nebraska team. We close this out with Cal hosting UCLA. This is going to be a great Friday!
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy college football lineup picks for DraftKings on 11/25/22 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. Good luck, RotoBallers.

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Quarterbacks
Jayden de Laura, Arizona ($8,100)
de Laura turned it over four times last week and still hit 22.28 DraftKings points. The rushing touchdown helped save that, but it also means that de Laura has the safest floor among the high-priced options. He is going to get the volume and has rushed for five touchdowns in the last three games. I don't think Arizona State can turn them over as Wazzu did. I expect another big game out of de Laura here.
Taylen Green, Boise State ($6,600)
The Aggies are giving up lots of yards both through the air and on the ground. That's good news for Green. He has at least 17 DraftKings points in all four starts and has accounted for a rushing touchdown in three of those four games. The rushing ability gives Green a floor that not all quarterbacks have. The low tier on this slate is practically Hell. I like what Green offers in the mid-range.
Bert Emanuel Jr., Central Michigan ($6,500)
Emanuel still isn't the "starter," but he might as well be. Emanuel has 45 carries over the last two games but has only thrown six passes. The good news is that he completed four of them, including all three against Western Michigan last week. You are basically paying $6,500 for a running back here, but Emanuel gets more carries than most backs and will add in a few passing yards too.
Also consider: Dorian Thompson-Robinson, UCLA ($9,400); Trenton Bourguet, Arizona State ($7,700); Casey Thompson, Nebraska ($6,400); Brady Cook, Missouri ($6,300); Clay Millen, Colorado State ($5,200)

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Running Backs
Bijan Robinson, Texas ($9,300)
Baylor's run defense has been pretty good, but pretty good might not get it done against Robinson. He has topped 200 rushing yards in two of the last three games! He had a clunker against TCU in Week 11, but other than that, Robinson has produced as well as any back not named Mohamed Ibrahim. Expect another healthy workload and a solid-at-worse stat line from Bijan here.
Xazavian Valladay, Arizona State ($7,500)
With the Sun Devils moving away from running QB Emory Jones, Valladay has seen a bit larger workload. He has over 90 rushing yards in four straight games and has scored seven touchdowns in that span. Not only that, but Valladay has 20 receptions in that span. 20! That includes a game against Colorado in which he caught just one pass. The Arizona defense has been borderline awful all season long. Valladay could have a ceiling game here in the Territorial Cup.
Jaydn Ott, California ($6,200)
The UCLA run defense has had issues of late. They have allowed at least 100 rushing yards in every game since October 1 with 12 of the 16 rushing touchdowns allowed in that span. The inefficiency of the Cal offense has limited Ott, but the Bears get him the ball however they can. Ott has proven to be a very capable receiver out of the backfield as well. The floor is still pretty low, but we shouldn't have to worry about that against UCLA's defense.
Cody Schrader, Missouri ($4,700)
I'm a little worried considering how Arkansas handled the Ole Miss run game last week, but the price is low enough on Schrader that I like the savings in GPPs. The Truman State transfer leads the Tigers in rushing and has proven to be a solid receiver out of the backfield. Missouri's offense is still a work in progress, but the guy that has worked in every game sans the Tennessee loss is Schrader.
Also consider: Zach Charbonnet, UCLA ($8,400); Sean Tyler, Western Michigan ($6,900); Elijah Green, North Carolina ($6,100); Jordan Houston, North Carolina State ($5,600); Micah Kelly, Toledo ($3,800)
DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Wide Receivers
Dorian Singer, Arizona ($7,100)
Singer has put up a couple of monsters this season, including last week against Washington State. Jacob Cowing is the cash play in this Arizona offense, but Singer has the ability to break a slate. Jayden de Laura looks for him a lot and he has the speed to break big plays. In a Territorial Cup game between two rebuilding teams, this could be a high-scoring game. Singer will be a big part of that, as will Elijhah Badger on the other side.
Trey Palmer, Nebraska ($6,500)
I know the Iowa defense is good, but hear me out: Palmer has scored at least one touchdown in the last five games with Casey Thompson under center. The Cornhuskers won't be able to run much on Iowa. When you have an X-factor like Palmer that can change the game, you use him. He scored both touchdowns last week against a stingy Wisconsin defense as well. Palmer isn't going to break the slate like he did against Purdue, but another trip to the end zone is likely.
J. Michael Sturdivant, California ($5,300)
I've shot the moon with the first two picks, so I'll go with a little more of a sure thing here. Jeremiah Hunter has put up a couple of big games for Cal of late, but Sturdivant sees more targets. I wish the Cal offense was a little better passing the ball, but the receivers aren't outlandishly priced against a UCLA team that has allowed 1,131 passing yards and six touchdowns over the last three games. There is potential here.
Luke Lachey, Iowa ($3,200)
Leading receiver Sam LaPorta left last week against Minnesota and is not listed on the depth chart for this game. Lachey led the Hawkeyes with five receptions for 77 yards against the Gophers last week and should lead the team in receiving again with LaPorta out. Iowa loves their tight ends, and Lachey promises to have a huge game for the price in this one.
Also consider: Josh Downs, North Carolina ($8,100); Xavier Worthy, Texas ($6,600); Monaray Baldwin, Baylor ($6,500); Tory Horton, Colorado State ($6,100); Matt Landers, Arkansas ($5,600); DeMeer Blankumsee, Toledo ($4,500); Nico Ragaini, Iowa ($3,500)
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!
Arizona State at Arizona
It's fitting that this is set in the Old West since Vegas, and I, are expecting a shootout. I like de Laura in any format and could be talked into using Bourguet as well to capitalize on all of the quarterback points. However, I prefer Valladay and using one of the plethora of quarterbacks under Bourguet's price in plus matchups. Singer and Badger are by far my favorite receivers here. I like Jalin Conyers as a way to save money, which we'll need to try and cram Cowing in this stack too.
UCLA at California
I've highlighted a few pieces of this game already. DTR and Charbonnet need no introduction and should be used wherever possible. I'm more intrigued by the Cal pieces since they are very affordable. Jack Plummer could be a good play at the price, but the only way I would use him is in a game stack of this one. Ott, Sturdivant, and Hunter are my big targets here. Kazmeir Allen is the piece of the UCLA passing game that intrigues me most, but Bobo is the sure thing.
Honorable Mention: Baylor at Texas, Central Michigan at Eastern Michigan
