We have another action-packed prime time slate for Week 12 of the 2023 season. There are only seven games on the docket but all of them include at least one explosive offense. It doesn't get much better than this!
We kick off in Lawrence with the Sunflower Showdown. Next up is Florida in Columbia to take on Missouri. Kentucky heads to the other Columbia to take on the Gamecocks. Washington heads to Corvallis, where championship dreams go to die. We have Syracuse in Atlanta to take on the Wreck. Texas is in Ames taking on the Cyclones. We close out in Death Valley with Georgia State the cupcake that LSU will feast on.
In this article, I will provide you with my daily fantasy college football lineup picks for DraftKings on 11/18/23, locking at 7 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
Jayden Daniels, LSU ($10,700)
Daniels is averaging an insane 41 DraftKings points per game this season. No matter what the price is, pay it. Daniels put up 68.28 DraftKings points on Florida last week. What do you think he can do to a team like Georgia State? We have to find a way to fit him in. I think it's going to be pretty much impossible to fade Daniels and cash in any format.
Brady Cook, Missouri ($7,900)
We all saw what Jayden Daniels did to the Florida defense last week, right? Cook isn't Daniels. In fact, he's nowhere close. However, if he's even half as good as Daniels, that's around 35 DraftKings points.
Darren Grainger, Georgia State
The Panthers are going to be playing from behind for the entire game and the LSU secondary is still getting burned. The outstanding play of Daniels often overshadows how bad the defense is, but us DFS players know. We've targeted LSU opposing quarterbacks on runbacks with Daniels all season long and had great success doing so. Tonight should be no exception.
Also consider: D.J. Uiagalelei, Oregon State ($9,000); Haynes King, Georgia Tech ($8,500); Garrett Shrader, Syracuse ($7,300)

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Running Backs
Ray Davis, Kentucky ($7,400)
The Kentucky offense has run into some good defenses of late, but Davis has still scored three times in three games to keep him fantasy relevant. The Gamecocks provide a sort of reprieve for Davis and the Kentucky offense. Davis is still getting plenty of work either in the run game or the passing game. He gets the volume we want when paying up for a running back.
Cody Schrader, Missouri ($6,500)
Schrader made SEC history last week one week after running for 112 yards on the vaunted Georgia defense. Schrader has 476 rushing yards in the last three games to go with 141 receiving yards and four touchdowns. He has scored at least once in every game since Week 3 against Kansas State. That's the kind of floor I want. We know Schrader is going to get work against a Florida defense that was destroyed by LSU last week.
Mario Anderson, South Carolina ($5,600)
Anderson has been dynamic out of the South Carolina backfield. He has double-digit DraftKings points in every game since Week 3 against Georgia. He is constantly flirting with 100 rushing yards and gets plenty of work in the passing game as well. Anderson isn't the big name on this slate, but he is proven and the Kentucky defense isn't quite as strong as we thought.
Also consider: LeQuint Allen, Syracuse ($7,700); Devin Neal, Kansas ($7,000); DJ Giddens, Kansas State ($6,000); CJ Baxter, Texas ($5,700)
DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Wide Receivers
Malik Nabers, LSU ($9,400)
I don't know how we get away from Nabers here. This slate is loaded with talented receivers, but Nabers has cleared 100 receiving yards in every game since Week 2 except the Auburn game. No one on the Georgia State team can cover him. We could see a nuclear game from Nabers here.
Eugene Wilson III, Florida ($6,700)
Ricky Pearsall is the home run threat. Wilson is the target monster. He has at least six receptions in every game that he has played in since Week 3. The bad news is that Wilson hasn't topped 100 yards yet. The five touchdowns in the last five games makes up for it.
Jaylin Noel, Iowa State ($6,000)
The Cyclones have started to open up this offense a little more for Rocco Becht. Noel has 18 receptions for 228 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the last three games. The Cyclones are always looking for ways to get him the ball. If they're going to knock off Texas, they need a big game from Noel.
Jack Velling, Oregon State ($4,300)
D.J. Uiagalelei spreads the ball out, but Velling has at least three receptions in every game since Week 5 and has at least 50 yards in all but one of those games. He does have six touchdowns in the last five games, but didn't find the end zone once in Oregon State's 62 points last week. At least he's not touchdown-dependent and gets really good volume for a value play.
Also consider: Rome Odunze, Washington ($8,500); Brian Thomas, LSU ($7,600); Silas Bolden, Oregon State ($6,400); Dane Key, Kentucky ($4,900); Ben Sinnott, Kansas State ($4,700); Dan Villari, Syracuse ($4,100)
DraftKings CFB Stacks:
Missouri
Florida got torched last week. I understand that Jayden Daniels and those receivers are special, but Brady Cook, Luther Burden, and Cody Schrader are really good in their own right. Theo Wease is an interesting pick to add to this stack if you're comfortable using four players from Missouri.
LSU
You have to get really creative in order to stack these Tigers. If you want Daniels and Nabers, you likely can only use one quarterback in your lineup. It might be worth it against Georgia State. However, if you're willing to take Brian Thomas (who scored twice last week while Nabers was shut out), you can save enough money to take a second quarterback. If you use Josh Williams at running back, you might be able to save enough to get Daniels and both receivers. Get creative! It will be worth it!
Also consider: Syracuse, Kentucky
