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

Mike's DraftKings daily fantasy college football lineup picks for Saturday's Evening Slate (10/26/24). His CFB DFS lineup picks and DFS sleepers will help you win.

Our seven-game prime-time slate is full of good offerings once again. This begins in Miami with the Seminoles in town. Some of the luster may have faded, but the hatred has not. Where do we go from there? How about to College Station for LSU vs. A&M? Michigan hosts Michigan State in the Mitten Bowl. Penn State is jumping around in Madison.

Next up is Auburn up in Lexington to take on Kentucky in a battle of embattled coaches. Next is the Sunflower Showdown from the Little Apple. We end in Durham with SMU heading to Carolina to take on Duke.

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

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Quarterbacks

Cam Ward, Miami (FL) ($10.5K)

Florida State has struggled in every aspect of the game. We really have no reason to believe that they can hang with Miami on the road. Miami is all-in on the Heisman hype, so expect Ward to pile up some stats before resting late in the game.

Avery Johnson, Kansas State ($7.5K)

In one of the biggest shockers of last week, Johnson didn't record a single rushing attempt. He hasn't really run at all in either of the last two games so his floor isn't as high. Still, his passing game has been on point as the Wildcats are storming through the Big 12 (14) after a loss in Provo.

Jalon Daniels, Kansas ($6K)

That's two strong games in a row for Daniels. The dream of a playoff run for Kansas is over, but Daniels still has his draft stock to play for. He has seven touchdowns and no turnovers over the last two games. We may finally be able to trust him again.

Also consider: Garrett Nussmeier, LSU ($8.8K); Maalik Murphy, Duke ($6.8K); Kevin Jennings, SMU ($6.5K); Aidan Chiles, Michigan State ($5.1K)

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Running Backs

DJ Giddens, Kansas State ($7.4K)

Giddens only had 57 rushing yards last week, but he made up for it with 53 receiving yards and a pair of touchdowns. He is getting at least 20 touches per game over the last month or so. Volume is still king in DFS, especially with Giddens since he always does something with the volume he gets.

Tawee Walker, Wisconsin ($6.1K)

Coach Fickell on Tawee Walker:

“We're starting to recognize that Tawee is a guy that's much better with more than 18-20 carries… It's been impressive to see him as he's continued to grow and show us how he can handle things. He gets better with the more carries that he has.”

— Dillon Graff (@DillonGraff) October 22, 2024

This is the kind of stuff that we look for as DFS players. Walker has been outstanding as the starter for Wisconsin and is only getting better. Penn State's defense is good, but Walker, with 20 touches, could still top 100 yards and score at least once.

Jamarion Wilcox, Kentucky ($3.3K)

Both Chip Trayanum and Demie Sumo-Karngbaye are out for Kentucky. That opens things up for Wilcox. He has put together some solid runs in limited action this year. If he gets 12-15 touches, his return will be massive for the price. This is the value that we need on this slate.

Also consider: Devin Neal, Kansas ($6.5K); Caden Durham, LSU ($5.9K); Damien Martinez, Miami (FL) ($5.7K); Le'Veon Moss, Texas A&M ($5.5K)

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Wide Receivers

Xavier Restrepo, Miami (FL) ($7.8K)

Restrepo has great hands and blazing speed. You really can't go wrong with that combination, especially with a guy like Cam Ward throwing to him. Restrepo has at least five receptions in four straight and has topped 100 yards in each of the last two games. He and Ward are hitting stride right now.

Aaron Anderson, LSU ($5.1K)

Anderson had a season-low in receptions and yards last week, but a closer game should help his stats out. This is going to be a hard-fought game against the Aggies. That means LSU won't be able to let off the gas as they did against Arkansas.

Colston Loveland, Michigan ($4.4K)

The Wolverines don't have a quarterback who can throw down the field, nor do they have receivers who can get open. What they do have is a tight end who catches just about everything and knows how to get open. He's a struggling quarterback's best friend.

Montorie Foster Jr., Michigan State ($3.7K)

Foster had a season-high 100 receiving yards last week. That probably won't happen against Michigan, but the targets and receptions should still be there. If he catches around five passes again, we'll be happy with Foster's production no matter what the yardage totals look like.

Also consider: Tyler Warren, Penn State ($6.7K); Luke Grimm, Kansas ($6K); Dane Key, Kentucky ($5K); Jayce Brown, Kansas State ($4.5K); Mason Taylor, LSU ($3.8K)

DraftKings CFB Stacks

Miami (FL)

The Florida State defense is terrible, but stacking Miami is risky. First off, they're expensive. If this game doesn't stay close, they aren't paying off. Using Ward/Restrepo/Martinez will set you back $24K. That leaves you $26K for the other five slots. It's doable, but you have to hope for a closer game.

Kansas State

The Jayhawks are better, but they have only been better for two weeks and K-State has owned the Sunflower Showdown. The Wildcats have won 15 straight. Of those 15, only three have been decided by a touchdown or less.

Johnson, Giddens, and Jayce Brown are going to be the common stack. Brayden Loftin is set to return this week for K-State. He had a good game against Arizona the week before he got hurt against BYU.

Also consider: SMU, Kentucky
